D. C. Provided For by Resolution
Continuing June APPROXIMATIONS.

The District government is working
today under the joint resolution adopt
ed by the Senate and House continuing
the appropriations for last year for .
month. The District appropriation bill
is still before the subcommittee of
the Senate appropriations committee
charged with framing that measure.
No meeting of the subcommittee was
held today. owing to the fact that the
senators were engaged upon many other
pressing matters. 1t is now believed
that the subcommittee will not complete
its work on the bill before the latter
part of next week.

FAILS TO PROSECUTE
IN BASE BALL FIGHT
Manager Griffith Does Not Push
Charge Against Catcher Agnew,
But Matter Not Settled.

The row at the base ball park yes
terday, eliminating in the fight be-
tween Manager Griffith of the Ma
tionals and Catcher Agnew of the Bos-
ton Red Sox, is not a closed incident,
despite the, fact that the principals
have refused to push the prosecutions.
United States District Attorney Las
key and Assistant Ralph Given stated
this afternoon that they will make an
independent investigation and deter
mine whether. further action, in the
way of prosecutions, should be taken.
1t is probable that the officials will
talk with many persons who were at
Yesterdays game.
A score of fans" expecting to hear
the aftermath of the row thrashed out
in the Police Court today were sadly
disappointed when it was announced
that Manager Griffith had refused to
prefer a charge of assault against Ag-
new. The latter. however, forfeited
$40 collateral on a charge of disorderly
conduct.

FIVE OFFICERS EXEMPT
FROM RELEASE ORDER
Navy Yard Employees Holding Com
missions to Remain in Mill
tary Service.

Officers of the District National Guard
who are now United States volun-
teers-and who have been employees of
the Washington navy yard. are to con-
tinue with their commands and are
to be exempt from the War Depart
ment order to give honorable discharge
to employees of the navy yard who were
mustered in al Camp Ordway.
Capt. Horace P. Hobbs, U. S. A. the
mastering officer. received imperative
instructions from the Department Of
the East last night transmitting the
orders of the Secretary of War to dis
charge these navy yard employees. This
action was taken in compliance with
a request from Secretary Daniels of
the Navy, pointing out that their serv-
ices are needed at the navy yard.
Affects Five Officers.
This order included five officers
Lieut. C. Earl Smithson, adjutant Of
the LIST Battalion. Sd Infantry; First
Lieut.. Claude Burlingame of B Com
pany: First Lieut. Thomas Brown Of
D Company; Second Lieut.. Joseph A.
Giovannoni. E Company, and Second
Lieut.. Perry L. Baldwin of the Ma
chine Gun Company.
There was much ado in camp when
the report was circulated that the order
had been given, allowing no option in
the matter to the men. Many of the
employees declared they would not re-
turn to work in the navy yard but when
discharged would Immediately re-en-
list Several of the officers also made
this statement, although if they had
been discharged and re-enlisted they
would lose their commissions as Of
fcers.
At noon today the Secretary of the
Navy received from Capt. Glennon,
commandant of the navy yard, recon-
mendation that these officers be ex-
empt from the operation or this order
for discharge. He stated that these
officers would be of more value to the
government as officers in the volunteer
army than as employees of the naval
gun factory. and for this reason recon-
mended that they be allowed to re-
main with their commands.
Transmitted to Secretary of War.
This recommendation was Immediate
VI transmitted to the Secretary of War,
covering these cases will be sent out
through lie proper channels late this
afternoon. 1t was stated by high off,
Gals in both the Navy and aWr de-
partments today that the government
appreciates the zeal of these officers
in the volunteer army to serve their
country, and are glad to encourage
such examples of patriotic devotion
While the status of these officers was
in doubt there was an interesting dis
cussion as to the authority of the War
Depa rtment to discharge them. 1t was
pointed out that the ninety-ninth article
of war says:
NO officer shall be discharged or dis
missed from the service, except by or
der OF the President. or by sentence of
general court-martial, and In time
of peace no officer shall be dismissed
except in pursuance of a sentence of
court martial or in mitigation thereof"
However. the national defense act of
June 3, repeats all laws or acts in con-
fict with it. and it seemed to be the
view that this might permit the honor
able discharge of the officers.

do not intend to introduce any bill on
the subject"
The rumor is similar to one which
was in circulation about year ago.
Possibly it has its foundation in the
fact that Representative Page and
other members of the appropriation
committee have expressed dissatisfac-
ton with the longevity pay law. 1t is
no secret that Chairman Page would
be glad to see a change in the law. but
he himself says he will not under
take to effect the change al the pres
ent session of Congress

Big Saving Next Year.

LAS the result of the new policy
adopted with reference to expenditures
for public buildings" Assistant Secre-
tary Newton explains. next years saw
ings will show a larger figure. because
contracts let during the last fiscal year
will not be completed and the balances
shown until the latter part of the pres
ent fiscal year or the beginning of the
fiscal year of 1918.
Under the present policy the limit of
appropriations does not determine the
amount to be put into the purchase of
post Office sites or for buildings. When
Congress authorizes the construction of a
post Office building in a small village it
is the present policy of the Treasury De-
partment to be governed SO far as pos
sible by the actual requirements of the
community and the government service in
designing these buildings rather than to
exhaust the entire amount of the appro-
priation The same policy is being fol-
lowed in the purchase of SITES
In the course of the year 102 new
buildings and IL extensions have been
completed.

SAVES j. S. LARGE SUM
IN BUILDING POST OFFICES
Assistant Secretary Newton Turns
$636,971.6O Back Into the
Treasury.

The best part of the pork is what
you fry out of it,
That was the wisdom of the grand
father Of Assistant Secretary Byron r.
Newton of the Treasury Department
which is applied by the grandson at
this later day to point moral and
adorn tale of the economies of the
Office of the supervising architect. over
which he presides. in saving the peo-
pies money in the matter of public
building construction.
We turned back into the Treasury
today s636.971.60, which represents the
amount saved in the purchase of post
office sites and construction of post
office buildings and other economies in
the conduct of the supervising archi-
tects office during the fiscal year just
closed is the pround assertion of his
public service made by Assistant Sec
rotary Newton.
He has saved his salary during his
three years-for 100 years. And next
year. it is expected, that the saving
under appropriations will be 1900, 900.
For the saving shown is practically
all in the purchase of sites during the
past year. Unused funds for construc-
ton are not returnable to the Treas
ury until the construction is completed.
AS construction work extends over two
or more years, and the present plan
of frying out the pork was not in vogue
two years ago, the returns from con-
struction frying out will not show until
the present fiscal year is completed.
