Fitzgerald's Statement.

Under the law" said he '.one-half the
expenses of the District Of Columbia is
payable from the District treasury and
one-half from the federal treasury. My
recollection is that there are several rul-
ings made. particularly upon the item
for Fairgrounds. in which 1t was held
that an attempt to make the entire cost
of the Fairgrounds payable out Of the
District revenues was subject to a point
of ORDER
NO one who pretends to be familiar
with the act of June II. 1878" responded
Nj. johnson, will contend that the
United States government has ever
agreed to pay half the expenses of the
District of Columbia. The furthest that
act goes is, and nobody familiar with it
will claim that 1t goes beyond, paying
one-h half OF such expenses Of the District
of Columbia as Congress may agree to
pay. Congress has not agreed to pay
this and Congress Will not have agreed to
pay it until at this session it adopts the
motion agreeing to pay this.
The committee, however, rejected the
amendment

Predicts Cut in Expense.

II it is found practicable to use soft
coal in all Of the buildings under the
jurisdiction of the District it is esti-
mated by MIR. Ashford that the annual
expenditure OF $4,000 for hard coal will
be cut by from $4,000 to $4,000.
1t is thought now by both the municipal
architect and Maj Markham, assistant
Engineer Commissioner, that all of the
furnaces can be changed so that the soft
coal may be used with satisfaction. but
before any recommendations are made to
the District Commissioners definite data
on the cost of converting some OF the
plants TO soft-coal burners will be made
The Commissioners sent letter to
capt. Oyster today saying that the CRATES
In any of the school buildings will be
changed if the board of education decides
to use the soft coal.
The first experiment in the use OF soft
coal was made eighteen months ago in
the District building. where a plant was
installed at cost Of $1,000. The plant
already has paid for itself in saving on
fuel bills and has been SO successful in
every way that Investigations Of all the
heating plants Of the District buildings
We're ordered.
Letter of Commissioners.
The Commissioners letter to Capt.
Oyster says that the present heating
plants in the school buildings, with the
exceptions of those of the Hyde. Wood
burn and Langdon School type, are adapt
able to the use Of the soft coal. The
only question involved would be the abil-
ity Of those in charge OF the plants to
properly fire the furnaces SO as to avoid
attractions OF the smoke law.
1T is reported the letter says. that
bituminous coal of the run-of-the-mine
elias. containing about so per cent lump,
could be used by many schools where an

DEFICIENCY BILL ITEMS
FOR DISTRICT TO STAND
Representative Johnson Fails
in Attempt to Make
Some Changes.

Although the District items In the
general deficiency bill remained intact
after they were read to the House Of
Representatives, sitting as committee
on the whole yesterday afternoon. Rep
resentative Johnson Of Kentucky, chair
man Of the House District committee,
offered anne ndments. based on his con-
tention that the federal government
would be getting the short end of the
bargain In some of the smaller matters.
The items covered the purchase of num-
bered tags to comply with the Com
missioners' regulations covering ve-
hicies. Representative Johnson offered
an amendment to the bill providing
that the total of the amount be paid
out Of the revenues of the district of
Columbia.
Repres NATIVE Fitzgerald. chairman
of the committee on appropriations,
made point OF order against the
amendment.

From the Carpathia.

Mrs. Charles Hutchson. who was
aboard the Carpathia when it rushed
TO aid the Titanic, writes her mother
Mrs. r. l.. Reynolds, a very interest
inc account of the tragedy.
Mrs Hutchison was married a cou-
pie of weeks ago at the home of her
parents on Stanley Boulevard, and,
with her husband, was going abroad
for honeymoon in Europe
Her letter was hurriedly written
aboard the Carpathia and gives Incl
dents that cannot fail to interest our
readers. She says in part:
Last Sunday night, the 14th, at
midnight, ship 60 miles away from
us, called the Titanic, of the White
Star line, the largest and most ele-
giant boat afloat was on her first
trip from England
Her Captain Smith was on his last
trip, as he was going TO retire after
reaching America He was anxious
to make a record and turned GO de-
grees out of his way to cut off some
distance and thus make time. He
got among a lot of iceber9s and
struck one of them about half past
eleven and the grand ship 500 feet
long, went down in two hours. No
one thought it was going to sink and
many got reluctantly into the life
boats. No men We're permitted to
board until all women and children
had been placed therein, and it was
a splendid thing but a dreadfui
scheme. for there We're no boats left
for the men after women had been
taken care of, and practically all the
saved are women and children.
The Titanic threw ont a wireless
to any boat near and ours caught the
distress signal.
Our boat started 60 miles out Of its
course TO help the distressed and
sent up rockets to show the life boats
in what direction to go
Sixteen life boats and two RATS
reached our boat. The first boats
were not as full as they could have
been Some of the women were in
kimonas One man was in bare feet,
some men were in evening dress, not
having vet retired when the boat
sank. and many women had their hair
streaming to the winds.

Public Welfare Contest

These are times in which party
lines are being largely eliminated in
that different schools of thought are
being created with the two great
political parties, leaders are being ar
rayed against leaders and interne-
cine strife and contention prevail. 1t is
an alignment in which predatory priv
ilese is warning with the interests of
the people. Decisions of courts, of
quasi-iudicial tribunals, rulings of
commissions, acts of congress and
the various state legislatures are
having an anomalous result. The
people are discoH1ented, business is
stagnant, results are in doubt, peo-
pie are dubious. There are constant
" arising new conditions, and rem
edies must be created to meet these
changing conditions.
In order 10 see just what the peo'
pie should do for their own good,
the Ardmoreite opens the followins
contest:
