second, wage disputes. and third. chattel

CHARITIES BUDGET
INCREASED rs p. C..
Estimate Board Influenced by
High Living Cost.

Because of the increased cost of liv-
ing the Board OF Estimate, sitting as
the committee on finance and budget,
yesterday increased the allowances given
to private charitable institutions for car
ing for the wards of the city by ap-
proximately 25 per cent.
This was the most important result OF
the hearing given on the budget of the
Department of Charities and added APP
proximately s1.50O.000 to an allowance
of S6,949, 900 already allotted to this
department for the care of city wards
in outside institutions in the year 1920.
George Gillespie appeared for Catholic
institutions, Mortimer L. Schiff for Jew
ish Institutions and Wilson NJ. Powell
for Protestant institutions generally. In
addition most of the institutions had In
dividual representatives to state theii
special needs.
Among the rates established for 1926
are: Infants under 2 years OF age. 81
cents a day for dependent children from
2 to 16 years of age. $4.35 a week: fol
homeless mothers nursing infants, III
cents a day for delinquent children
$245 year.
The Board of Estimate decided tt
increase the number OF male probation
officers in the magistrates courts b,
twelve and to add four women probation
officers. Request had been made for &
total addition of twenty-five.
Hearings in the Controllers offic,
will be continued this week. It has beer
decided not to hold the hearings In thu
CITY Hall until next Tuesday anC
| Wednesday, as 1t is probable that som,
changes will be made in the tentative
budget this week. Hearings on the fina
budget are scheduled for October 2.

WAR SAVINGS STAMP
COUNTERFEIT FOUND
Many Spurious Specimens
Sold in Ne1udrk.

A counterfeit of the present IS War
Savings Stamp has been discovered. It
was announced yesterday by John s.
Tucker, head of the secret service at
the Custom House. Secret service
agents have found that many have been
sold in Newark. N. J. In every in
stance the stamps were on folders call
ing for 800 in 1924.
The stamps which have been coun-
terfeited are printed in blue and bear
the head of Benjamin Franklin. They
are about one-half the size of the
previous one, which was green and had
George Washington's head engraved
upon 1t. The counterfeit has been made
by the Photographic process and is
slightly smaller and Of a darker blue
lines beside Franklin's head in the
genuine stamp do not exist in the spuri-
Gus one.

been arrested. They both denied that
they had anything TO do with the AFFAIR.
The third man was not caught
Not a dollar of the money was lost
and the messengers and guard were COM
plimented by the officials of the bank.
1t was a daring attempt at robbery, the
police said, because the money was only
to be In transit for one block, ana IN
order to make the feat successful the
robbers had to act quickly and contend
with a crowd OF pedestrians always on
that particular section Of Broadway.

SUCCOTH TO BE CELEBRATED.
Jewish Feast begins Tomorrow
and Lasts Eight Days.

Beginning tomorrow evening and con-
tinuing for eight days orthodox Hebrews
will celebrate Succoth. or the Feast OF
the Tabernacles, or Booths. The cele-
bration symbolizes the time the Israel
ties spent in the wilderness after their
expulsion from Egypt, when they had
no permanent dwelling.
Succoth has it's chief significance as
a feast of thanksgiving for the COM
pletion OF the harvest. In Palestinian
times it was customary for persons from
all parts of the country to make a pill
grimage to Jerusalem every recurring
Succotn, and with much rejoicing offer
sacrifices in the temple for abundant
crops.
At present day celebrations booths are
usually erected in the synagoguss and
many pious families still put them up
in the yards of their homes. Childrens
harvest festivals are also Held in some
! synagogues.

''Direct Action to Obtain

Topic To Be Discussed

GLASGOW, Sept. (By The Asso-

terest is being displayed in to-mor-
rows Trades Union Congress, which
VIII be the greatest ever held in Great
Britain. Five and q quarter million
workers are represented by $50 dele
gates, who have number of questions
to decide which will have the most i'm

ish industry.
The most significant subject for de-
bate refers to "direct action" by the
workers in order to obtain nationnliza-
tlon Of the mines, which is strongly de-
manded by powerful group of under
ground workers. 1t is expected that
Robert Smillie and Robert Williams
Will champion such action, but they
will be met by antagonists such as
Wilson. John Robert Clynes. James
Henry Thomas, Will Thorne and Will
lam Brace when the question is raised.
which it is understood will occur Tues
day.
Virtually the entire Labor party of
! the House of Commons will be present
at the congress and will participate in
the various debates, including those on
resolutions affecting naturalization Of
the banks, shorter working week
mothers pensions, capital levy for
paying off the war debt, recognition of
police unions, housing reforms and,
finally, the problem of the industrial
output. The action of the congress on
the resolutions, it is said in political
circles, will be the most valuable in
dication Of how the thinking working
man, as represented by the trades
unions, will act in the coming political
campaign.
G. H. Stuart Burning, secretary Of
the Postmen's Federation, will preside
at the congress.
