PENSIONS SCALED.
District Pays But Sixty Per Cent Of
Amounts Due.

The District will be able to pay but 50
per cent Of the amounts carried in the
police and f1remen's pension rolls for the
nary estimate made In the office of the
auditor of the District. The deficiency,
however. according to present indications,
will not be as great as that of last month
or the month previous, the payments in
January and February being IS and IS
per cent, respectively, of the amounts
due
Police Court fines compose the bulk of
the funds available with which to dis
charge the police and firemen's pension
rolls. From this source there has been
collected already this month the amount
of A.6J2.5O. There was a substantial
increase in the second week of Police
ceived during that week being $1.9S9.O5.
1t is due largely to this increase that
the District, in all probability, will be
able to make the March payment exceed
that Of either January or February.
Officials of the auditors Office say they
believe a payment Of so per cent of the
amount due will be as high a mark as
the District can reach during the last
six months of each fiscal year in meeting
the pension obligations. At the beginning
of each fiscal year. when receipts from
the sale of dog taxes are available, the
pension rolls are discharged in full for
the first two or three months. LAST
years total deficiency amounted to
$4,000 an amount that remains to be
gress enacts legislation at this session
which will provide for deficiencies in the
fund the deficiency for the current year
will be not less than $4,000.

TOMBSTONE GOES ASTRAY.
With Wagon, It Has Been Missing
Since Friday.

Lost, strayed or stolen, one perfectly
good tombstone, Of no use to any one ex-
cept owner"
1t isn't often that a tombstone goes
astray, but such an occurrence was re-
ported to the police yesterday by the
owners Of the mortuary tablet. The stone,
according to the statement made to the
police vanished from sight last Friday
morning, when it was loaded on a fiat
wagon and sent out in charge of a driver
for a stone company.
Friday evening the driver returned to
the stoneyard with the horses, but the
wagon and the tombstone were missing.
The driver seemed surprised when his at
tention was called to the fact that he
had failed to bring back either the stone
or the wagon. and a faulty memory, his
employers say, made 1t impossible for him
to assist in locating the missing property
The stone company at once began a
search for the wagon and tombstone, and
since last Friday night. they say, they
have peered into every corner in Wash
ington where shy and retiring tomb
stone might have concealed itself. They
have also been on the lookout for q stone
wagon wearing a homeless appearance.
Finding neither. however. the police were
called on.
The driver, according to his employers,
hasn't the remotest idea where he unhar-
messed his team and left the wagon and
Its burden.

Contest Probable,
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

ROCKVILLE. Md, March 20, 1912
Glenn II. Worthington of Frederick,
Nd. was in conference here yesterday
with number Of prominent Montgomery
county democrats concerning the demo-
cratic nomination for associate judge OF
this district for which he is a candidate
He is understood to have received assur-
ances that his chances of carrying this
county at the primary election to be held
May are excellent.
Judge Worthington told his Rockville
friends that there is no doubt about his
carrying Frederick county at the primary
election. The party organization there is
divided, but Judge Worthington says he
will receive as much assistance from that
source as either Of the other candidates
for the nomination. He thinks his nomi-
nation is assured.
Served Brief Term.
For a short while Judge worthington
was chief Judge Of this circuit, having
been appointed by Gov Warf1eld to fill
the vacancy caused by the death Of Chief
Judge James McSherry.
On May s both the democrats and re-
publicans of the district will nominate
candidates to succeed Judge John c.
Motter, whose term of fifteen years as

bench
The sixth judicial district is composed
Of Frederick and Montgomery counties,
