Commission. previously voted by the
House. was knocked out Of the sundry
civil appropriation bill by the Senate
Appropriation Committee in repart-
ing the measure to the Senate.
1t is not believed the Senate will
restore the appropriation for the
project, chiefly because OF the short
nesG Of time left to devote to the bill,
which must be parsed by tomorrow
to enable the conferees to make their
report.
Among the principal items OF spe-
ciaI interest to the District is an in
creased appropriation Of S125,O00 for
St Elizaboth's Hospital for the In
sane, making a total OF S1,00O.000 for
that institution. The additional fund
will permit a very needed increase
among the attendants and members
Of the professional staff. In handling
the sundry civil bill the House ig-
nored an appeal on behalf Of the hos
pital by Congressman Gallivan. who
made a personal investigation of con-
ditions there.
To Increase Wages.
The Senate committee inserted an
amendment providing $4,000 for in
creased pay TO the engine room FORCES
Of sewerage and water department
pumping stations as a result OF dis
satisfaction among employees who at
one time had threatened to strike
Another amendment appropriates an
additional $40, 900 for the work OF the
Joint commission which is reclassify-
ing salaries. The House previously
had granted the commission an add
tional $4,000, and the Senate COM
mittee's increase brings the total VI
to S65, 900
A total of 1921 1897 for Howard Uni
veTsity, which had been ignored by
the House, was recommended by the
Senate committee. OF this amount
S2O. 900 is for equipment Of the manual

MOTOR THIEVES:
HE TO COVER.
in SOU. CAl1F

Motor thieves are being driven to
shelter by the winter weather and are
using private garages throughout
Southern California in which to strip
and prepare stolen cars for market.
This announcement has been made
by the theft bureau of the Automobile
Club of Southern California following
an investigation into the alleged mys-
terious and total disappearance of a
number cf cars stolen recently in the
southern counties and of which no
trace could apparently be obtained.
Private garage owners, while not
really shielding the activities of the
thieving gangs are aiding them ma
terially and unconsciously in their
work by not reporting to the clubs
theft bureau or the police the renting
of the garages to strangers for "stor-
age" purposes, it is declared.
A well dressed thief will approach
the owner of an unuser garage in a
residential neighborhood saying that
he wishes to rent the space for some
repair work on his car. Then, hav-
ing obtained the garage his confed-
crates will steal a car, leave 1T IN
the garage until the affair has blown
over, when it will be stripped and its
parts carted away to market.
Not only is this custom being car
ried on in the city, but it is also true
in the rural districts. Cars stolen IN
Los Angeles and other urban centers
are often driven out into the country
to some isolated garage and there the
dirty work" is done.
The clubs theft bureau is particu-
larly anxious at this time to hear OF
all private garages which are rented
to strangers, and owners are request
ed to call mp club brance office o.
the headquarters and make such re-
port so that stolen cars may be trac-
ed in this way during the winter. In
the summer time, the stripping work
is carried on upon isolated roads, but
winter weather usually forbids tht
practice.
