Fate of Charity Board.

From authentic sources 1t is learned
that there is extreme probability Of a
protest being made by the board of
charities should it be found that the esti-
mates submitted by the board are reduced
to any extent by the Commissioners. There
was a conference on the boards estimates
between the board members and the Com
missioners, shortly after the figures had
been submitted, and an agreement reached
as to what items should be eliminated
and reduced. There is said to be an i'm
preston among the board members that
following the conference the District
heads still further revised the figures.
Under the law, 1t is claimed, the
board of charities submits it's esti-
mates to the Commissioners for trans
mission to Congress and the Commits
sioners are given no authority to re-
wise them.
If 1T should be found that the esti-
mates for the next fiscal year. especial
ly with respect to provision for salary
increases, were changed by the Com
missioners, 1T is regarded practically
as certain that there will be a protest
from the board.
The law gives more authority and
discretion to the charities board in the
matter of making up its estimates than
to any other District government de-
partment. it is claimed and, II the
Commissioners have exceeded their
authority the board, in all probability,
will endeavor to have Congress pro-
vide for it's original estimates.

JUNIOR MAY NOW HEAD
BUREAU Of NAVIGATION
Navy Officers Agitated Over
Possible Successor to Rear

The possibility that a junior officer may
succeed to the billet of chief of the bu-
reau Oh navigation of the navy is agitat-
ing every officer of the navy who con-
siders himself eligible to the appointment,
and is the topic of discussion among the
line and staff
This post is one of the most important
In the administration of the navy. Rear
Admiral Reginald f. Nicholson, who now
holds the place, has been assigned to take
command of the Asiatic feet, making the
seph b. Murdoch
The appointment of the next incumbent
of the post cannot be made before the
return to Washington of the President.
The place has heretofore always been
held by an officer of the rank OF rear

Commander Philip Andrews aid to the
Secretary of the Navy, is believed to be
under consideration for the appointment.
Commander Andrews is eighteenth on the
list of his rank and will not retire be-
fore 1925 for age disability. Another
supposed candidate is Capt. Templin NJ.

is eleventh on the list of captains and
should be rear admiral IN a snort time.

Heads May Enter Protest.

The opinion prevailing generally among
District officials is that the estimates for
new Improvements were not cut down as
much as were those for current expenses.
If this should turn out to be the case 1t
is likely to bring forth a serious protest
on the part of certain heads of depart
ments who may feel that the salary in
creases asked for were not granted on as
liberal a scale as they should have been.
Long before the pruning process was De-
gun Engineer Commissioner JudSon an
nounced that the estimates would 1nclude
provision for four big park and parkway
projects. Yesterday, 1t was stated, the
estimates, as revised, include all or these
projects. which will call for toa! eX-
penditure of approximately half mliloh
dollars.
This has given rise to the belief that
the estimates for current expenses suffer
ed most, when the figures were being
reduced, and that, as result. salary
increases will be considerably below the
and amount asked for.
Several heads of departments have not
hesitated about expressing their d1sap-
prevail of the arrangement adopted for
reducing the estimates, If it should be
found that provisions for current ex-
penseS were affected in an ineQuitable
proportion with those for new improve
ments 1t is pointed out that the great
bulk of District government officials and
employees are underpaid and that their
interests should be looked out for, to-
gether with the interests Of the institu-
tons and governmental functions with
which they are identified, before ex-
penditures for new improvements are
authorized

Probab ility Of Protest Being Made

THE UPPERM0ST QUESTION
MAY AFFECT CHARITY BOARD

In what proportion were the estimates
Of the District Commissioners for new
improvements and current revenues cut
down in order to bring the total within
prescribed amount?
This question is uppermost in the minds
of several District government depart
mental heads. That the pruning knife was
applied literally by the Commissioners in
reducing the estimates is generally under
stood, but no announcement has been
made as to whether the reductions came
principally from the estimates for current
expenses or for new Improvements, or
equally from both.
All but two of the District government
departments asked for provision for in
creased pay for certain of their employees
during the coming fiscal year. and, &C
cording to a statement yesterday by Com
missioner Rudolph. the estimates provide
for increased pay in these departments

the heads of the departments have been

Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico now only awaits the perfume
tory approval of President Taft.
The Senate, by vote of 3S to %,
adopted the conference report on the
wool tariff revision bill already adopted
by the House.
The Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives met defeat in its supreme
effort to pass the wool and free list
bills over the Presidents vetoes and
virtually fixed upon adjournment of
Congress at an early date. The vote
was 227 to 1879.
On basis acceptable to Mr.. Taft,
statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
zona was approved by the Senate
through the passage OF the Flood
Smith resolution presented by Sena-
tor William Alden Smith, chairman
of the committee on territories. The
resolution was adopted, SO to 8.
The House adopted, 2S2 to 81, the
conference report on the campaign
publicity bill. The report already has
been adopted by the Senate and the
measure will go to the President at
once. 1t requires that all candidates
for the Senate or House in general
elections, primaries or nominating con-
ventions, shall file statements of their
expenses not more than fifteen or less
than ten days before the election or
nominations.

reau of Chemistry, created excitement
