Henry B. F. Mcfarland, chairman
Of the joint citizens committee on MS
cal relation between the United States
and the District Of Columbia, takes
issue with. Congressman Charles r.
Devils Of Minnesota that the District
would fare better at the hands of
Congress with the half-and-half plan
abolished.
Mr.. Davis is chairman OF the District
subcommittee Of the House Appropria-
tions Committee. In an interview
with The Times, he said that abolition
bill introduced in the House by Chair
man Carl E. Mapes, Of the House Dis
trict Committee, would work to the
advantage of the District.
It was predicted by Mr.. Davis that
the District appropriation next year
would be at least 100000, against
the $4,000, 900 appropriation allow
ed by the Congress last week.
"If Mr.. Davis were Congress, doubt
less 1000. 1000 would be appropria-
ted" says Mr. Mcfarland. Even that
amount, however. would not be twice
the District revenues, which for next
year will be over $4,000, 900. and which
ought to be doubled with an equal
amount from the United States Treas
ury to meet the actual needs for the
maintenance and extraordinary i'm
provements.
Not Entire Congress.
UNFORTUNATELY, Mr.. Davis is not the
entire Congress, and even il he were
he could not guarantee adequate APP
preparations for all the years to come.
1.-THE statesmen who took part in
the preparation of the organic act of
1873, men like Allison, Thurman,
Bayard, Garfield, Window, Hunton'
Poland and Blackburn, saw clearly
and emphasized strongly the absolute
necessity for what Senator Allison
called some fixed, unvarying rule for
the ascertainment of what the Gov
eminent should contribute toward the
expenses of this District
"Otherwise, as Congressman Black

situation came in announcement from
the War Department that stores Of
surplus bacon, canned roast beef and
canned vegetables will be sold
through cities at prices Is to so per
cent under market prices.
To facilitate wide distribution OF
these stores, cities will be allowed
ten days credit on purchases. They

only transportation expenses.
This action resulted from general
criticism OF the departments previ-
ously announced plan to sell these

been strong against the War Depart

DENY WAVE
OF CRIME IN

erintehdent OF Police, say they

igation Of the department from
administrative heads down.
ch an investigation, it was said.
I'd prove conclusiYely that the
fEes are unwarranted, and that
Capital, which has grown in popu-
ticn siace the war from $4,000 to
ppreximately 525, 900, is policed and
detected better than many cities
pch larger and with bigger police
rces than here.
Since the war" said Commissioner
ownlow, every man in the Police
apartment, from Major Pullman
SIN, worked day and night with en-
AsiaSm to keep down crime.
War workers UnmOIested.
"There were at least $4,000 women
war workers in Washington. Many OF
these young women came from other
cities and the country. Because Of
crowded conditions in the city many
OF them had to spend much time on
the streets downtown and other places
for recreation. We have policemen
and policewomen scattered about, and
we had but little reports Of trouble.
That the present force Of police
nen should be augmented by at least
men is the opinion OF both Com
ssipner BrownloW and Major Pull
ban. Both officials are strongly in
favor Of an increase in salaries.
Take Bridgeport. Conn, for in
staree," said Major Pullman. "Po-
licemen in that city start at $500 q

But, the police said. while these
cities pay big money-or rather a
living wage, they are able to get good
men to join the force. Nevertheless,
IL was said, crime waves appear in
those cities as well as they do here.
It was pointed out in Washington
during the past fiscal year there were
1hirty-seven- murders, two OF them
being triple murders, while ten years
IzKo there were thirty murders in the

The Dedjazmatch-or Duke-asked
TO have the case opened. He calmly
put his hands inside and picked up
the anaconda. Much to the surprise
Of the spectators, who had retired to
safe distance, nothing happened.
The big snake took the handling as
thought he liked it.
After smilingly handling the snak.
for some time. while the other Wis
itors, plucking up courage, sidled
nearer, he uncoiled the creature and
put him back into the case.
The duke might have explained that
the snake felt no fear or anger be-
cause he recognized a hereditary mas
ter. The Abyssinians are supposed "a
be q race descended from King Solo
mon and the Queen Of Sheba. The
snake in the east has always been the
symbol Of wisdom.

The party was much interested in

gressionaI Library greatly interested
the guests.

COMB AKOMAPARK
IN ASSAILANT HUNT

A false report caused police re-
serves and headquarters men TO be
rushed to Takoma Park last night,
where 1t was said another woman had
been attacked by q negro. IL was
later found that q woman living In
the neighborhood had been passing
down a lonely road when she heard
a rustic in the bushes without In
vestigating, she screamed for help.
The woods which surround the
Sligo branch were searched. Deputy
Sheriff Charles Farrar called to
Washington for hslp. When the canse
of the report was ascertained, the
police were convinced there was no
basis for belief that an assault was
attempted.
Though nearly 200 suspects have
been questioned and examined by In
spector Clifford Grant. he said today
that the police are no nearer to q
solution Of the crime than they were
q week ago.
Miss Saunders Returns Home.
Miss Mary Saunders. one OF the
negro's victims, Is at her home. She
left Georgetown Hospital yesterday.
Policewomen were detailed yester-
day afternoon to the suburbs Of
Washington to lure the negro to ar
rest should he put in an appearances.
Armed with revolVers the women
were ordered to stroll through the
paths Of the woodlands in the hope
that the much sought negro would
put in his appearance and to cap
ture him should he make any ad-
vances.
But the negro was not seen, and
he still Is at large. As Il was be-
lieved he might again make his APP
pearanee to renew his attacks, police
officials felt that policeWomen would
be big aid in capturing him.
That the negro realizes that drag
net has been thrown out for his
capture and that he - shrsWd enough
not to return to the scene OF his past
assaults, Is the thooy advanced by
some detectives.

But regardless of this theory, with
the possibility that the negro has left
the city, the police were determined
to cover" the suburbs again yester-
day Afternoon. More than 200 police
men, detectives and policeWomen
were scattered through the suburban
section. Railroad depots and roads
leading out Of the District were care
fully under guard.

You have doubtless heard Of

have been cruel, and have grown
as they have been circulated-be-
coming worse and worse each time
they were repeated.
Under the circumstances | feel
that it is proper for me to write
you, and now | do. have been
Mr.. Glenn's legal adviser throughout
the storm that has swept over him
and about. He has acted on my
advice and council through the
whole matter. His actions have
been, in a measure misunderstood
by some people, who seemed to
think that he ought to follow a
different course than / pursued.
think that now he and those people
who misinterpreted his conduct,
are both and all of opinion that he
did exactly right in following the
course | suggested. The storm
beat hecely time; but it is now
over.
The charges brought ag inst Mr..
Glenn were serious in their charao
ter and we're calculated to be hurt
iul to him. But l am pleased to
say that W. placed no obstacle in
the way of the fullest and most
complete investigation, nor did we
open our mouths in defense; we
merely gave the fullest swing to
those who charged him with wrong
doing. The court has convened

enemies ought to be satisfied.
