MONEY READY FOR CLAIMS.
Controller Downey Rules on Two
Civil War Judgments.

without recourse to Congress for ap-
preparation the Secretary Of the Treas
ury already has authority to pay two
judgments against the United States
rendered by the Court of Claims out of
the permanent appropriation for the
return of proceeds of sale of captured
and abandoned property in insurrection-
airy districts during the civil war.
The controller Of the Treasury, George
e. Downey, ruling on the reference, finds
that the Secretary of the Treasury need
make no estimate to Congress for ap-
propriations to pay these judgments, as
they have already been appropriated for
and no estimate is necessary.

LOCAL CIVIC BODIES
SUBMIT SUGGESTIONS
Follow Commissioners Plan of Rec

for Budget.

Citizens associations Of the District
are beginning to present to the Com
missioners their annual recommended

be provided for in the estimates.
The Commissioners two years ago
inaugurated the plan of having the

advantageously.
Beginning with the middle of Sep
TENDER, the District heads will take
up the annual budget-framing task
By that time every association OF i'm

provements desired for Incorporation
in the estimates. The Commissioners
will go over the lists and select the
most important items for recommended

Five Requests for Improvements.
Five requests for improvements
have been submitted by the George

Another feature We would call your
attention to-" states the letter from
the association, rs the improvement
Of the river driveways from a sight
seer's point of view. The most beau
tiful ride in the National Capital is the
one between Georgetown and Chain
bridge and Georgetown and Cabin John
bridge, either from the canal road or
the tramway cars. The beautiful river,
with it's cliffs. its area Of green foliage,
the hundreds Of camps now occupied,
with the historic canal also forming a
panoramic view, Is in many places
generally the best vantage points-lit-
orally hidden from sight by an over
growth of pigmy trees and weeds that
are worthless in every way. and par
ticularly SO in obscuring the views Of
people making the trip to the upper
river on the District side Of the stream.
We would. therefore. recommend, If it
comes under your Jurisdiction, the
clearing away of said overgrowth in
order that the beautiful river and Wis
tas may be made clear along the
routes"

WARSAW'S FALL FAILS
TO ENTHUSE BERLIN
But Demonstrations Are Held When
Seizure Of Ivangorod Is
Announced.

BERLIN. August 6. via London, 1912
pm.-The Berlin morning newspapers
today publish no additional details!
whatever concerning the fighting
which preceded the fall of the Russian
fortresses of Warsaw and Ivangorod.
Warsaw's fall had been discounted in
advance, and the news evoked no DEM
onstration in the capital. But when
the report of the capitulation Of Ivan
gorod came, impromptu professions
were formed in the Inter den Linden.
One considerable body marched before
the palace of Crown Prince Frederick
William, and the crowds were adj
dressed by extemporaneous speakers.
The morning newspapers comment on
the news rejoicingly, but on the whole
soberly. The Lokal Anzeiger says:
This, unfortunately, Is not the end Of
the conflict, but it is a new promise
that our cause marches on"
Sure Of Warsaw's Fall.
So sure had the authorities been Of
tho fall Of Warsaw that preparations
for the appointment Of a civil governor
and the installation Of a civil admin
istration centered at Warsaw are al
most complete. and will be announced
in a day or two. The governor will,
it Is understood, be q prominent Ger
man magnate. Some difficulties over
questions Of precedence may arise. as
the civil governor necessarily must act
under the military commander. but
cannot outrank him. These questions,
however. may perhaps be settled by the
selection of a member of the royal
house for the latter post.

Efficient Relief Measures.

Efforts to relieve the distress continue
with amazing success. A citizens COM
mittee has been formed to care for
those in actual want. and moro than
400 were fed In the rescue station on
State street during the night. while
preparations were made to serve break
fast for many more. The armory
housed many Of the homeless during
the night. while private houses cared
for many others.
Mayor Stern's relief fund continued to
grow. having passed $4,000 early in
the day. Additional offers Of assist
ance from outside sources came in. but
the committee declined all Of them with
the assertion that the city could take
care of its destitute until they were
again at work.

Especial Correspondence

Washington, Nov. 24.-Secretary Of
fer with the chairmen and leading
members of the house and senate naval
committees on the subject Of govern
ment construction Of battleships and
other warships and the still broader
subject of the government. IL need be,
taking over iron ore reserves and OBJ
tanning steel mills and an armor plate
factory to provide its own materials.
The proposal of the secretary that
the government provide its own steel
and materials has aroused the keenest
interest and is likely to arouse much
discussion in congress.
Secretary Daniels made it plain today
that he was considering the problems
surrounding battleship construction in
government yards not merely as a tenn
porary matter, with reference to the
two superdreadnaughts already author
lied, but as a question OF permanent
policy He is concerned in the con-
struction Of the warships comprehended
in the whole five-year program which
he will recommend to congress.
Bids to Be Rejected.
It has been practically decided by
the navy department that the private
companies which submitted bids on the
two superdreadnaughts will not con-
struct them From the bureau Of con-
struction and the bureau of steam en-
gineering. Secretary Daniels has OBJ
tanned analyses of the bids which these
companies submitted. 1t is shown that
all the private bids exceed the limit for
oil hv Ia
81, 100000 The New York Shipbuilding
Company bid reaches $s,075,o0o: that
of the Fore River Company, $8.0s7, 900;
pany. $S,24o.5O0 Under the law. Sec
rotary Daniels said he could not
accept these bids. He has not de-
cided whether he will ask new pro-
posals. Should he do so. this would give
the private companies another chance.
but the indications are this will not be
done. Secretary Daniels will not do it
IL he finds 1t practicable to have both
superdreadna lights built by the govern
ment.
Secretary Daniels conferred with
Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of con-
struction, and Rear Admiral Griffin.
chief Of steam engineering, about the
To Improve Government Yards.
The department by order of Secre-
tary Daniels, has already begun an in.
quiry as to how soon the steel COM
panies and other material companies
can furnish materials for the two SUI
perdreadnaughts. Inquiry is being made
as. to how apidly materials have been
furnished in the past.
Meantime, the department is also go
ing carefully into the question of just
what improvements to the yards al
Philadelphia, Norfolk. and Mare Island
are needed to build big battleships
there. The New York yard Is already
equipped to construct them.
In considering the outlay for tools,
equipment, improvements, and the IKE
needed for the different yards for bat
tleship construction. the cost Will be
distributed over a period of years Not
all such cost will be figured as con-
nected with the construction OF the
warships already authorized.
