During the fiscal year ended June 80.
1913, the subcommittee OF the House
committee Ola the District of Columbia.
acting under House resolutions Nos. 154
and 100. conducted a series of investi-
cations and inquiries in the matter of
the payment OF the interest on the SO
per cent bonds of the District of Co
lumbia. T. Scott Mayes, accountant. and
j. r Mayes, assistant accountant, were
selected for this work. being assisted by
T. A. Hodgsou of the Treasury Depart
ment
The accountants made report to the
subcommittee under date o. February
10, 1913. to the effect that they had
found from the books that the District
of Columbia was indebted to the United
states III the sum of S1oo3. 25i.2i, for adj
vances made by the United States for
the purpose of paving interest on the
3 - bonds of the District of Columbia,
this indebtedness being reported by said
accountants to have accrued between
August |. 1876, and January ~, 1913,
both dates inclusive, prior to the adop-
ton OF the present form Of government
under the act of June II, ISIS.
Attention is especially invited to the
following extract from the report OF the
subcommittee. containing the detailed re-
port of the accountants, page IL:
II the mandatory provisions of the act
OF July L. 1876. and March 5. 1877, which
to the United States. are to be ignored.
and. in lieu thereof. is to be substituted
the contention of some that the United
States is TO pay one-half of the interest
on these bonds. then the District OF Co
lumbia would owe the United States $685.

all debts owing by the District of Column
bia June II, 1878, are TO be paid one-half
by the District of Columbia and one-half
by the United States, is TO be substituted
for the mandatory provisions of said acts
of Congress, then, in that event, the Dis
trict of Columbia would owe the United
States on account interest payments on
the 80 per cent bonds, one-half of 81
o0;. 81 "A, or the sum of S501 .62s 62.
In view of tn fact that the specific
amount to be reimbursed on this ac-
count rests with Congress, the matter In
so far as it affects the account between
the United States and the District of CO.

liquifying of the saints blood. If the
blood liquified on that day it meant
year of peace, prosperity and hap
piness for Neapolitans. If it didn't
liquify-history doesn't record all of
the dire results which the Neapolitans
were convinced would befall them for
year thereafter.
The blood of the saint is preserved
in two small phials, and is due to
liquify shortly after nine o'clock on
the morning of the saints feast day.
The demonstrations of the Neapolit-

to the lowliest street beggar, which
attend this miracle-or it's failure

feast day the cathedral from the ear

Feast of Gennaro

Naples, Oct. 18.-The ever highly

deepest depths of the darkest despair

holiday of the Feast Of Gennaro, its
patron saint. The royal decree will go
into effect tomorrow, and in the mind

coming year than an eruption of
