BOURNE SAYS TREASURY
PRACTICALLY BANKRUPT
McAdoo Alters Forms of Daily Re-
ports and Golfers Have but
$3,5I7,027, He Asserts.

The Republican Publicity Association
of which former Senator Jonathan
Bourne. jr.. is president. recently engaged
an expert accountant to determine just
what the balance would be in the United
States Treasury If computed on the same
basis that il was under Republican ad-
ministrations and when the Wilson ad-
ministratiOn came into power. Secretary
McAdoO had made several changes in the
form of the daily Treasury statement
and the Republican association charges
that he has done this for the purpose OF
Concealing the low state of the Treas
ury's cash balance.
The expert finds that IL the daily Treas
Iry statement was made up on the same
basis as II was when the Democrats went
into power the balance now available in
the Treasury would be only s35I7. OF. in
stead Of 800. 600 now claimed by Mr..
McAdoo.
On the strength of the experts findings,
President Bourne asserts that the Fed
eral Treasury when Congress assemblies
will be practically bankrupt for the
first time since James Buchanan turned

State Department Doubts Right of
BelGgerent Ships to Hover
Near Harbors.

The right OF British cruisers to hover
around American ports TO intercept out
going and incoming ships has been taken
up by the State Department in the case
OF the steamship Hooking, which was
seized somewhere near New York and is
now in the prize court in Halifax.
The agents OF the government at Hall
fax have been directed to inform the
State Department just where the Hook
ing was seized and to give all particulars
on which a demand for the release Of the
vessel might be based. The State Depart
ment has not yet obtained any informa-
ton as to the charge that the American
steamship Ninland was pursued by Eng
lish warships. or on the reported pres
ence OF such warships near the three
mile limit of the Virginia capes
officials of the department said yester-
day the government expected that after
the British cruisers were warned away
last year. as set forth by former Secre-
tary OF State Bryan to Chairman Stone,
OF the Foreign Relations Committee of
the Senate. the practice of remaining
in the vicinity OF American ports had
ceased. These officials said they have no
agreement. hut indicated that there will
be a renewal of the demand for their

One OF the highest officials said yester-
day that the word Vicinity could be

torial waters OF the United States and
that Il does not mean an underlined dis
lance beyond the three-mile limit.

that there are large arrears to be brought
up in all the different departments Of the
District work.
wouId Keep Appropriations Down.
IT can imagine myself presenting esti-
mates under the Morrill, plan to an ap-
propriations committee. and l know that
the first question would he. How much
money will the District taxes yield for
the next fiscal year? know equally well
that throughout the list OF estimates. and
in the total. the equally important quss-
ton would be. not how much we can take
from the National Treasury. but how lit
tie can we take from the National Treas
ury?
There being no fixed rule OF proper
ton between the United States and the
District of Columbia. the amount from
the National Treasury would vary with
each session of Congress. The estimates
would be cut in the House and some
what restored in the Senate. according
to the practice. and finally in the con-
ference report adopted by the two
Houses would be the compromise. At
every step of the way the amount OF
the District revenues would inevitably
figure. Equally true. every step of the
way the amount from the National
Treasury would be kept down as much
as possible.
I'VE should carry out the half-an-half

done, but literally. as provided for in

SAYS TEACHERS
need Pensions
HIP. Blair Tells Monday Even

Funds Creation.
OTHER CITIES HAVE THEM
Supt. Thurston Urges Bigger Appro-
priation for Night Schools So Aliens
May Secure Education.

A teachers pension law was declared
to be one of the greatest needs OF the
local school system by Henry p. Blair.
president OF the Board of Education.
in addressing a meeting Of the Mon
day Evening Club at the Y. II. C. A.
last night.
''one of the best things the members
OF this club could dc would be TO take
up the cause OF the teachers pension and
retirement system. II you do. you will.
in my opinion. be working for one of
the greatest needs OF the local schools. -
Students Are Handicapped.
Mr.. Blair pointed out that scores of
cities throughout the country have a
al Capital. which, said Mr.. Blair. should
be the model for the nation, is without
such a law.
The speaker said that the children in
the seventh and eighth grades are handi-
capped in their studies by having teach
ers who have grown old in their work
and who are endeavoring to handle
classes crowded beyond their ability. He
urged the law in Justice to the teachers
themselves. who, he said. devote their
lives to their work. and also for the
welfare OF the children.
Ernest L. Thurston, superintendent Of
schools, urged an increase in the appro-
priation for night schools. so that the
hundreds Of aliens who apply for citi-
zenship in the District may be given an
opportunity to learn the customs of the
people with whom they are making their
homes. Mr.. Thurston said II was the
desire of Secretary of Labor Wilson that
classes for aliens be opened in all cities,
and expressed the belief that Washing
ton shoulfl do its share in the education
Of these people.
Remodel Foreigners.
"One OF the greatest works our night
schools are now doing is remodelling into
our atmosphere these foreigners who
have come to live with us. / think our
night schools ought to take up this prob
lem, and that is why urge that the APP
preparation for night schools be in
