DISTRICT BUDGET
IN HOUSE TO-DAY
Reading by Committee Will Be
Concluded-No Increase in Ap-
preparations Is Expected.

To-day the House Committee Of the
Whole will complete its consideration of
the District budget for the fiscal year of
1913. and will, in all probability, pass #.
minus few items which have been
stricken out on the ground OF economy.
Among these are the fund for the Co
lumbia Hospital and the 1900 sppropria-
ton for the militia and the naval battAl-
lon fund. The latter two items, with
several others. are pending on points or
order raised by Chairman johnson. OF
the District Committee, which will be
ruled on this afternoon by Chairman
Garrett, OF the Committee OF the Whole
II Is practically certain that the SlO-
10000 budget, denuded of provisions for
parks, public buildings. and the like, will
go to the Senate as II is now. There the
heroic amputations of the Burleson COM
mittee may be recOnsidered. From the
statements thus far given out by Senator
Gallinger and others there seems TO be a
strong ground for the belief that a large
portion of the 5000, 900 fund asked by the
Commissioners for necessary extensions
In District work will be read into the
bob-tailed bill
When the Committee OF the Whole re-
ports It's favorable consideration of the
budget to the House, Il is all over but
the shouting. unless the Senate can see
fit to take action in favor of the Dis
trict. 1nasmuch as the subcommittee on
appropriations and the Committee OF the
Whole are both vigorous in their defense
OF the $l000o,0oO budget, there seems no
hope for progressiveness in the House.
Besides the points OF order made by
Representative johnson. which must be
ruled on, there are pending points by
Representative Carlin, of Virginia, and
Minority Leader Mann.

ROTHERMEL SURE
OF TRANSFER BILL
CONGRESSMAN Declares House Sentl-
ment Has Not Changed Since
the Last Session.

Representative Rothermel. of Penn
sylvania, yesterday declared that the
measure adopted by the Senate upon
the recommendation of Senator Gal
Iinger would undoubtedly meet with
the approval of the Lower House, and
would become a law before the conclu-
sion Of the present session.
All those members of the House who
were seen yesterday asserted that the
Gallinger bill, as adopted. Will meet
with their approval. They are in
clined to jubilation over the fact that
the Senate, one year after the House
adopted the bill, found 1t wise TO take
the same step.
The attitude of the House on this
question" said Representative Roth
ermel last night. lis positive. Univer-
sal transfers are bound to come. now
that the Senate has acted. The House
was ready to force the street railway
companies to give these universal
transfers r year ago. but the measure
failed in the Senate. The action of
the Senate, in my opinion, gives the
bill easy sailing through the other
branch Of Congress. The House re-
corded itself overwhelmingly in ia
vor OF universal transfers in April.
1910. 1t will undoubtedly pass the bill
as soon as IL is presented"

TO DECIDE RIXEY'S
FATE FEBRUARY /
Judge Barley to Announce Whether
He Will Be Sent to Criminal
Insane Asylum or Not.

Alexandria, Va, Jan. 2L-After hearing
arguments for and against the transfer
Of C. Jones Rixey, the indicted head OF
the defunct Virginia Safe Deposit and
Trust Corporation, from the asylum at
Staunton. Va. to the asylum for the
criminal insane at Marion, Va, Judge L.
c. Barley. in the Corporation Court. an
nounced that he would go over the case
and announce his decision February l.
He first said he would try and give a
decision tomorrow. This. however, was
too early for Mr.. Rixey's attorneys. some
OF whom would be unable to be here TO
take whatever action they might deem
necessary in the advent OF an unfavor-
able decision.
Rixey was at once remanded by the
court In the custody OF DIR. J. =. DE Jar
nette, superintendent OF the asylum at
Staunton, Va, who returned with Rixey
70 that place. The court also directed
that the doctor bring Rixey here by 10
o'clock the morning OF February !. when
the court Will announce its decision. This
Is the same date fixed for the trial or
Lewis Hooff, former secretary and gen.
eral manager of the Mercantile Railway
Building and Loan Association, against
whom ten indictments are pending for
embeZZlement.
Arguments begun In the Rixey case
shortly before II o'clock this morning
and were not concluded until after 9
o'clock this afternoon. Efforts on the
part Of the State to transfer RiXey to
Marion were resisted by Rixey's array
OF legal talent. During the course or the
arguments, many decisions on similar
cases were cited to the court by both
sides
The only witness examined by the court
was Dr. De Jarnette. superintendent OF
the asylum at Staunton. Va. Among
other things the witness said that since
Rixey has been confined at Staunton, Va,
he has shown great Improvement both
mentally and physically. He has gained
fifteen pounds in weight. and most of
the time has been employed on the farm
shuclxing corn and in various other pur-
suits. Rixey, he said. had been given
a number OF privileges. but had not
abused them.
In reply to a question Of Judge Bar
ley as to whether RIxey was In condition
10 stand trial the witness said: 81 do
not think he has recovered sufficiently TO
stand trial at the present time. and give
his attorneys any assistance, but ] do
not think II will be a long time before
he will be"
In reply 20 a question put to DIR. De
Jarnette as to reports published in GER
tain newspapers that Rixey has been seen
on the streets OF Staunton, DIR. De Jar
nette said: I'VE gave him the privilege
Of going 10 and from the hospital on a
pass. such as given TO other prisoners
in the same mental condition. He spent
a night in town with his wife on four
different occasions, but always returned
