APPROPRIATION
BILL is READY
Committee Reports Measure
Carrying Total of sl4,-
8O3,534..93
IS LARGER THAN 1915
Increases Are Carefully Guarded
Institutions Receive Practically
Same Amounts

| Richmond, Feb. 26-The House
Appropriations Committee last night
completed its work, and the gen
eral bill carrying appropriations
amounting to nearly $15,O0O,00O for
the next two years, will at once be
printed and placed on the calendar,
The appropriations as contained in the
bill are slightly in excess of those
for the preceding two years.
The exact figure is $l4,S03,534 50
divided between the two years, 1916
and 1917. For the first of these years
the appropriation is $7.39G, 1888, and
for the second is $7,406,7 795 50.
In addition to this, there are now OH
the calendar, and it is presumed by
the committee will be pressed, several
bills carrying appropriations totaling
about 100000. Further the prohibi-
ton bill, already passed by the Sena-
tie, carries an appropriation of $4,000
for the succeeding two years.
Very few of the State institutions
receive any additional appropriations,
most of them being under the neces-
sary of resting content with the
amount granted them in 1914. William
and Mary College is one of the excep-
tons, its $4,000 annuity being in
creased slightly, and q small appro-
priation being made FOR a EGW Dor
mitory. The University Of Virginia
and other state educational instl-
tutions receive practically the same as
in 1914-15. The public schools get
slight increase.
The district agricultural high schoo!
Of the State get $4,000 for the two
years, or $4,000 annually Tor 1916
II. This appropriation the committee
did not undertake to distribute be-
tween the various schools, placing tine
fund in the hands Of the trustees OF
the Virginia Polytechnic Institution,
with authority to appropriate to eaca
school according to its Individual need.
The Norfolk county agricultural!
experiment station gets a small IN
crease, being given $500 for eacn
year, whereas in 1914 it received S5,-
900 for the first year and $1,000 for
1915. The experiment station III
Southampton county gets $500 an
nually.
The Appropriations Committee, OF
which Colonel R. l.. Brewer, Jr., OF
Nansemond. is chairman, sought not
to increase at all the appropriations
made in 1914, the House having adopt
ed a resolution to that effect early in
the session. However, sllgnt IN
crease was made on account OF the
necessity to continue some small APP
preparations portion of which was
made two years ago. For instance
the appropriation made for the Get
| tysburg monument had to be continu-
cd in part. There were other items
of similar nature, and with these eX-
cluded the. committee kept practically
within the limits of the last bill.

SOLDIERS FIRE ON PEOPLE

AMSTERDAM, May 3.-Advices received here from Berlin state that city was the scene of much rioting during the Mayday parade of the working men last Monday. The pa- rade turned out to be a huge demon stration for peace. in which thousands of women participated, and banners demanding the end of the war were freely displayed. The police attempt ed to disperse the paraders, but were attacked with such fury that the troops were finally called out to quell the rioting.
 The men and women are said to have even attacked the soldiers, who were finally ordered to fire on the people, with the result that several hundred were killed and wounded
 The government is much alarmed over the demonstration, and strin- gent Pleasures are being taken to pre- vent repetition of the outbreak. Hundreds of the participants have been taken into custody and the pun ishment promises to be severe. The officials fear that if another outbreak of this character takes place 1t may lead to general uprising. Numer- ous small demonstrations throughout the country, and even in this city, have occurred following the restric- tions placed upon the use of food stuffs by the government, and there has been occasional demands that the war be brought to an end, but noth- ing approaching the magnitude as- stunned by the demonstration of Mon day.
 The city is quiet at present, but a strong guard of troops is maintained and stringent regulations have been issued against the gathering of any considerable number of citizens in streets.
