DISTRICT DEATH RATE
SHOWS A DECREASE
Facts and Figures From the Weekly
Report Of the Health De-
partment.

The District Health Department re-
ported today that the Geaths in the Dis
trict during the week ended last Satur-
day numbered 143 seventeen less than
occurred during the previous week. OF
those who died eighty-five were white
and ffty-eight negroes.
Last week pneumonia killed twenty
people. consumption nineteen, kidney
trouble sixteen. and heart disease thir-
teen. The number of diphtheria cases.
however. was reduced by seven, and
there are now under treatment for this
disease only eleven cases Guaranteed in
seven premises.
Typhoid fever shows a small increase
in the number of cases since the last
report. During the week ten new cases
were reported TO the Health Department
and seven were discharged, leaving now
a total number of fOrty-two cases under
treatment
The number Of cases OF smallpox was
materially decreased. Four cases were
discharged and no new ones developed.
This leaves but two cases at present uu-
der treatment.
The births in the District last week
numbered III. of which siXty-five were
white and foTty-siX negroes.

Restricts Right to Use
OF Emergency Funds
Comptroller Says 1t Is Available Only When
Serious Consequences to the Public
Are Involved.

The mere exhaustion q q regular APP
preparation for the District of Columbia
docs not justify tho use 81 the District
emergency fund for the purposes TO
which tho regular appropriation was de-
voted. The emerge ncy fund is to be
utilized only when failure TO do so
would involve immediate serious conse-
quenccs to the general pubic So de-
clares tho Comptroller Of the Treasury
in an opinion submitted TO the District
Commissioners today.
The opinion was asked by the Com
missioners as a result of the total eX-
peaditurc of the annual appropriation
for repairing the heating apparatus OF
the public schools. Repairs are needed
Immediately for the furnace in the Dent
school. There IS apparently no way to
pay for the repairs unless II be from
the emergency appropriation
The Comptroller holds that. as the
failure to mend the furnace would per-
haps cause a loss OF life by setting IRE
to the building. the emergency appro-

MAY NOT NOW DECIDE
SHOOTS RIGHT TO SEAT
Politics May Make It Expedient fol
Senate to Defer a Decision
Of Case.

Senators who call at the White House
say the proba abilities are the Smoot case
will not be decided by the Senate at this
session. II IS likely to go over until
the next session Of Congress.
Political reasons. in the opinion Of
shrewd leaders make it the part Of
wisdom TO defer final action on this case
until after the election. It is not i'm
probable a good excuse for postponing
final action on the election Of the Utah
Senator from the Senate will be found
in the necessity, actual or alleged, for
sending a subcommittee TO Salt Lake
City 20 take testimony.
Republican leaders realize she fact
that an adverse decision to the Nor
mons just now might result in changing
the votes of two or three Western
States in the November election.
More than this. it is recognized that
II Congress takes the position that a
man can be excluded from that body
because he subscribes to views Of a
church out of harmony with the Con-
stitution. even though he may person
ally refrain from violating the law, that
other religious organizations may take
alarm.

WOULD ELIMINATE
MUCH RED TAPE"
Taylor Will Appoint Com
mission Of Experts.
THE CARRIER PAY SYSTEM
Each Account Must Pass Through
Hands of Twenty three Persons
Before Pronounced Legitimate.

Assistant Secretary Taylor OF the
Treasury Department will in a few days
appoint what has already been dubbed
an "anti-red-tape commission Five
experts from the Treasury and the
Postofiice Department will compose the
commission. which viii seek to devise a
simpler method for the payment of ru-
raj free delivery carriers and star route
men.
The number of this class of Govern
ment employees is large. They are paid
but once in three months and the pa
pers Of each man have to pass through
the hands of twenty-three persons. The
first step is the making out of a memo
randum in the Office of the Second As
sistant Postmaster General, calling for
the pay of the individual whose account
is being considered. The account goes
through several bureaus in the Second
Assistant Postmaster Generals Office.
then into the office of the Third Assist
ant Postmaster General. where II passes
through the hands of several clerks.
then into the office Of the sixth AUDITOR
OF the Treasury, where - IS Juggled
with by many hands, and back 10 the
Office of the Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General All this takes a month.
The commission hopes 10 simplify the
process and change the payment system
so that the contract carriers can receive
their pay monthly. IL is argued that
the Government will get its mails car
ried more cheaply If the system is sim
plified

A subcommittee of the House District
Committee having in charge matters per-
tanning to street railways, streets and
avenues today began the consideration
of thirty-three bills which have been
introduced for the purpose Of extending
railway lines and opening up streets and

These measures are the most impor-

and they win be taken up in order and
the subcommittee viii sit daily until all

that favorable action viii be taken and
