ASKS S1S,5OO TO FIT UP
QUARTERS IN TREASURY

In view of the impropriety indicated
by George E. Downey, controller of the
Treasury, of applying any of the hun
dred Thousand dollar fund at the dis
posal of the federal reserve bank or
ganiZation committee to the expense
of fixing up quarters for the new cur
rency bureau and the federal reserve
board In the Treasury Department
building. and the depleted condition of
the fund for the upkeep of the build
ing. to which the expense would be
properly chargeable, the acting sec
retary of the Treasury, John SHELTON
Williams has asked Congress for a de-
ficiency appropriation of $I8500
Mr.. Williams regards this figure as a
close estimate. and so says in his ap-
peal for the appropriation. 1t would
provide terra Gotta partitions. for
painting. new flooring, woodwork and
other things. including necessary
changes in the plumbing and heating
apparatus. electric wiring and addi-
tiona1 lighting fixtures.
An estimate of urgent deficiency, sub
mitted by Acting Secretary Williams
asks for an appropriation to provide for
fifteen clerks at $500 per annum each, to
be employed in connection with the work
of the general supply committee during
the remainder of the present fiscal year
The total amount asked for is $500
Present Procedure Unsatisfactory.
The service of these clerks will be re-
quired in preparing specifications tabu-
lating proposals and performing other
necessary clerical work. The temporary
force has hitherto been supplied by de-
tails from executive departments The
procedure has proven unsatisfactory, be-
cause In many instances the various de-
partments have detailed clerks who
could best be spared regardless of their
qualifications for this exactiug work.
An amendment to the existing item in
the bill for an urgent deficiency appro-
priation of $4OHO for altering the old
bureau of engraving and printing build
ing for the occupancy of the offices of
many departmental auditors is asked by
Acting Secretary Williams. The amend
ment would make it possible to expend
any part Of the appropriation after June
80, the limit set for the expenditure of
the appropriation as the item now stands
in the urgency deficiency bill. The. .neces-
sary repairs may not all be completed by
the end of the fiscal year, and Mr. Will
liams would have the appropriation avail
able to complete the work.

SETS ASIDE CANAL ZONE
AS FREE TRADE GROUND
Representative Copley Would Grant
Merchants of World Distributing
Point for Products.

Representative Copley Of Illinois is
planning to introduce in the House q
bill which will set aside the Canal Zone
as free trade territory where the mer-
chants of the world may store their
goods. preparatory to distributing them
to South American countries and to the
far east. He believes that such step
would make the Canal Zone the greatest
trade center in the world.
Explains the Benefits.
In regard to the plan, Mr.. Copley said
THE big free trade ports of the world
at present are Hamburg. Hongkong and
Singapore" said Mr.. Copley. In Ham
burg the German government owns
about 9, 400 acres, which is set aside as
free territory Merchants may land their
goods without paying duty. AS soon as
they take them over the line they are
subject to German tariffs. The ire
mendous amount of commerce of these
three ports gives an idea of the vast
trade development that would result on
the Canal Zone if the plan were to be
put into effect.

CHILD STRUCK BY AUTO
DIES Of HER INJURIES
Marie 0'Hare Koones Dashes in
Front of Machine in Cross
ing Street.
Coroner's Jury, at Inquest. Holds
That Fatal Accident Was
Unavoidable

Marie Q Hare koones. four and one
half years old, daughter of Samuel :. and
Mary O'Hare Koones of 1881 10Th street
northwest. died at Emergency Hospital
about 30 o'clock last night as the re-
suit of injuries she received when struck
by an automobile shortly before !.
o'clock. The accident occurred in front
of the child's home She received a
fracture of the skull
The automobile that struck the child
belongs to Mrs. Reside wife of Howard
S. Reside. vice president of the Ameri-
can Security and Trust Company and
acting president of the Washington Gas
Light Company. Ernest Mueller. TWEEN
ty-siN Years old, residing at 1859 10th
street northwest, was operating the car
and seated beside him was Homer
Reside, a young son of his employer.
Runs in Front of Auto.
Little Marie Koones WAS seen by the
chauffeur before he reached the front OF
her home. She was standing on the
curb. There was nothing about her ap-
pearance to indicate she contemplated
crossing the street. the chauffeur stated
and 1t was not until the automobile got
directly in front of her that she left the
curb and started to run to the opposiS
side of the street.
Mueller gave his car a quick turn. he
stated, and managed to get the from,
wheels out of the way of the little one,
but the latter ran against a rear wheel
and was thrown to the street. The auto.
mobile, the chauffeur and others told the
police, was not going at a fast rate OF
speed.
AS soon as he had brought the machine
to stop Mueller picked up the uncon'
scious child and hurried with her to the
office of DR.. James F.. Mitchell. The ply
stefan saw she was suffering from a
fracture of the skull and suggested thai
the patient be taken to Emergency Hos
pital.
Dr. Mitchell accompanied the child there
and performed an operation. The par
ents of the child went to the hospital as
soon as they learned of the accident.
