For Big Harbor Budget.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 22.-The
house rivers and harbOrs committee
assembled in Washington today for the
purpose of framing a bill. Last year no
general river and harbOr bill was
urged. The fact that the war depart
ment had large unexpended balances
available for unfinished projects, and
the desire not to appear extravagant
on the eve of presidential campaign
were reasons for conservatism. This
session liberal appropriations are eX-

Miss Fanny NJ. Colby, the young wo-

. thousands of dollars while acting as

terrified house.
Wherever she goes, a woman detec-

Every move is noted. every action is
Swallowed. An attempt to get away
would most likely be met with arrest,
but the young woman has shown no
desire to escape. Those who have seen
her since her shortage was discovered

that she has done wrong.

When asked this morning what late
discoveries had been made in the case,
Mr.. Para, a member of the firm, said:

We have not yet learned just how
much was stolen, but the total sum
amounts to several thousand dollars
We are going over our books and
checking up accounts. 1 think the
amounts taken by the woman aggre-

only approximate figures.
