DRAFT NOT READY.
Several District Interests Behind With
Their Estimates.

The tentative draft of the District budget
for the fiscal year 1906 has not as yet been
completed and placed before the Commits
soners for their consideration. 1t had
been expected that the tentative budget
would be compiled and ready for the con-
sideration of the Commissioners by today.
DIR. William Tindall. secretary to the board
of District Commissioners, stated today
that he has compiled all the individual
estimates that have been submitted to the
Commissioners by the heads of the vari-
Gus departments, but that the whole can
not be collected until all the departments or
the District government have submitted
their individual estimates.
1t is understood that the delay in plac-
ing the tentative budget before the Com
missioners is due to the fact that the esti-
mates of the District militia, the public
schools and the board of charities have not
as yet been submitted to the Commission
ers. It is expected that these branches
of the District government will present
their estimates shortly, and then the ten
tative draft of the budget will be placed
before the Commissioners.
Under the law the Commissioners eSti-
mates must be submitted to the Secretary
of the Treasury on or before the 18th of
October of each year.

AWAITS RESULT OF INJURY.
Lincoln Mitchell Held for Shooting
Edward Wilson.

Lincoln Mitchell colored, was before
Judge kimball today upon a charge of
having committed an assault with a dan
gerous WEAPON. 1t is alleged that he shot
and dangerously wounded Edward Wilson,
also colored, of 1919 Mad son street. The
shooting occurred in Mitchells pool room
in the rear of Dorsey's saloon on 9TH street,
Thursday night
Wilson and Randall Madison had been
playing pool. it is stated, and the proprie-
tor spoke to the former. asking him to
settle fo' the game. Wilson, he alleges
struck him with a cue. and he retaliated by
firing two shots at him. One bullet entered
Wilson's stomach and punctured the intes-
tires in four places.
The wounded man was taken to Freed
mems Hospital where an operation was
performed and the bullet removed. 1t was
stated this morning that there had been a
slight improvement in the condition of the
wounded man, but that his condition is still
critical. Because of this statement the
court did not fix bond in the case, and
Mitchell was committed to await the result
of Wilson's wound. .-

SOUGHT FUNDS TO BURY CHILD
But Foster Hurst Had Worked the
Game Before and Was Arrested

roster Hurst. ,colored, who told Judge
Mills that his home is on 18th street was
arraigned in the Police Court this morning
as an alleged vagrant. He was arrested YES
terday afternoon in the neighborhood of 1st
and streets by Policeman Gusack because
ne was soliciting money through the pre-
tense that his child had recently died and
he needed funds to use in defraying the
funeral expenses. He had paper which he
submitted to those from whom he solicited
contributions, which read
This is to certify that this man has lost
his child az reedmen's Hospital and kind
y as those who would be so kind as to give
or 10 cents to do as he is out of work
at present and it is impossible for him to
ind employment at present. Respectfully
WILLIAM JOHNSON, 1888 18th ST.
When questioned by the officer the col
ored man insisted that his child was dead
and that he was without the necessary
funds to give the body decent burial
Hurst, the policeman learned, had been
arrested on similar charge a few months
ago. The prisoner denied to the court that
he was guilty and claimed that the paper
belonged to an old colored man to whom he
gave cents.
Judge Mills sentenced the prisoner to pay
a fine of $40, or serve three months on the
farm. Attorney Bacon asked the court to
accept Hursts personal bonds and said his
wife would take him to Lynchburg tonight.
The Judge refused the request and said the
man could go to Lynchburg after he had
complied with the sentence of the court.
