PENSION PROVISIONS
KILLED BY MISTAKE
Urgent Deficiency Bill to Take Care Of
Police and Firemen.

With the District appropriation bill
passed by Congress and awaiting the
signature Of the President. it was dis
covered yesterday that no provision was
made for the necessary moneys to carry
out the new policemens and frmen's
pension plan.
When the bill was considered in con-
ference. six words were inserted in sec
uon TO- relating to pensions, which COM
pletely changed the sense of the para
graph with reference to providing the
appropriation to enforce the new law.
Major Pullman and Commissioner
Brownlow went to the Capitol, when the
error was discovered by Daniel Dono-
van, secretary to the Commissioner and
explained the matter to Senator Smith,
chairman of the Senate District Commit
tee.
1t was too late to rescind action or
amend the District bill and it was agreed
that the Commissioners will prepare fig
ures showing the amount necessary to
meet pension obligations and an urgent
deficiency appropriation carrying the
amount will be introduced in the Sem
ate
As the matter now stands unless this
appropriation is made, pensioners under
the present plan, in both the fire and
police departments would be cut of i'm
medlately without a cent.

Dozens Of Nimrods Open Bombard-

Shotgun enthusiasts from Maryland
and Virginia began to gather late last
night along the marshes of the Potomac,
Anacostis, and Patuxuent Rivers in
preparation for the opening of the hunt

Dozens of hunters Joined the ranks at
an early hour this morning, and when
the first traces of light appear they will

Blackbirds are in vast numbers, and
have been feeding on a big crop of wild
oats. Reedbirds have been scarce, and
