CANT ESCAPE BY THE OCEAN

At this time the largest ques-
ton with regard to Zelaya and
Nicaragua is as to what this gov
eminent has done and is going
to do to carry out its avowed in
tention to hold Zelaya and his
advisers personally responsible
for the death of Cannon
and Groce. According to the
Washington Evening Star, one of
the most staid newspapers in the
country, Secretary Knox is going
to have Zelaya tried on the
charge of murder. In accord
ance with that plan, it is assert
ed. naval commanders in Mica
raguan waters have been no
titled to prevent the escape of
Zelaya from the country by way
of the ocean.
President Zelaya has not only
refused to take official cognizance
of Secretary Knox's note. which
was practically an ultimatum,
but he is declared to have dis
patched special agents to Wash
ington to endeavor to have the
State Departments ultimatum
set aside, first by appeals to that
department, and secondly, by
direct appeals to members of
Congress.
Zelaya has anticipated that he
will be compelled to seek safety
in flight, and it is reported that
he keeps a gun boat with steam
up in Corinto.

AUDITORS NEW IDEA
FOR HANDLING BUDGET
VIII Make 1t Possible to Determine Equality of De
partmentaI Appropriations for the
District

To enable the Commissioners to deter
mine whether each Of the important
needs Of the District is receiving it's lust
proportion of the appropriations, Auditor
Alonzo Tweedale will within a few DAYS
begin the arrangement of the estimates.
in a manner new in the history Of the
District Of Columbia
The amount proposed to be expended
for each department Of the District
government will be divided under the
following heads: General government.
protection Of life and property, health
and sanitation highways. charities and
corrections. education, recreation,
miscellaneous, public service enterprises,
interest and debt miscellaneous temper
airy payments. II will be possible in the
light Of these figures for the Commits
sioners to determine at glance whether
any one department is suffering at the
hands OF another. and to equalize the
appropriations in accordance with the
rules of equity. As a further aid In the
preparation OF their estimates, the Com
missioners have before them a compare
tive analysis of the expenditures Of the
District, for the last five years. study
has been made also of the expenditures
of the various departments o. other mu-
inequalities.
Discussing the preparation Of the esti-
mates, Commissioner Judson said, to-
day. that in his opinion. with the rea-
sonable appropriations made for the
local government, the Commissioners
will be enabled to amply provide for
the needs Of the District during the next
