TREASURER TREAT BUYS UP
947o, 45O IN BONDS.

Charles H. Treat. treasurer Of the
United States and ex-oficio commissioner
of the sinking fund of the District of
Columbia. has recently bought for &C.
count of the sinking fund $479. $50 worth
of 1856 per cent bonds. considerably re-
ducing the bonded debt of the District.
He has on hand small sum to apply to
the same purpose when he can purchase
the bonds at a price to suit him.
Including the purchases that have been
made and those to be made, the bonded
Indebtedness OF the District will be re-
duced to something like SO. 100. 900 within
a short time the interest charge being
reduced accordingly. During the fiscal
year 1907 the funded debt retired amount
ed to 1901 600. the reduction in the annual
interest charge by reason Of this retire
ment being $1S.2s65O. At the beginning
OF the present fiscal year. July l, the
outstanding funded debt was $40, 8O2, 7:JO.
With the purchases already made during
this month and to be made. the total. as
already stated. will be reduced to below
SIC. 100000. The interest charge June 30
was $So. .OO.37, which will be reduced by
the purchases made.
The total funded debt July 1, 1873. was
81. 1O8 $50. increased later by q further
issue Of s8S bonds. The annual interest
charge at the same time was $1.O15,7
The reduction since that time has been
steady and will continue to be steady
until the total debt is wiped out The
outstanding bonds mature August 1, 1924
but will be paid of before that time, it is
believed.

standing upon which interest ceased long
ago, and the treasurer has funds on hand

his young friends Friday evening DR..
Wilkinson was at the hospital this morn
ing and reported that his son was much
improved
Dr. and Mrs. Wilkinson and their two
children make their home at Brookland.
The young man is an unusually large boy
for his ACKNOWLEDGMENT much given to
athletics. being especially interested in
the Brookland base ball team; Friday
his intimates. He lost his balance and in
endeavoring to regain his equilibrium
punched q jagged hole in a plate glass
window. In withdrawing his left arm
suddenly from the opening he tore and
iacerated every muscle and artery.
Amputation Necessary.
The young man was hurried to Garfield
Hospital, where everything possible was
done to- save the arm. Gangrene set in,
however, and its amputation became nee
essary to avoid more serious conse-
quences.
After recovering from the effects of the
anesthetic young Wilkinson expressed
deep regret that his prospects of becom-
ing a base ball star had been blighted.
He told his father that his only chance
now was to develop into a phenomenal
one-hand ball player.
DR.. Wilkinson stated to a Star reporter
this afternoon that his son was quite
used to accidents. alfred has had many
breaks. sprains and bruises. and other
illnesses-much more than usually falls
to the lot of an individual-and we all
hope that the hoodoo has been broken
with this affair. Happily, my son is the
least concerned of any Of us over the &C.

could wish for, and his spirits incom-
