Three Negroes Rob Man Driving
Taxi, in Which They
Rode.

Two hold-ups at pistol points were
staged here last night.
Luke Smith. colored Of 61s Sd street
northeast, told police at the fourth
precinct that he was hired by three
colored men at the Union station to
drive them around the city, at $3.50
last night. When he reached point

The second ho1d-up occurred at 1880
pm, at New Jersey avenue and G
street northwest, where Forest Lee Of
1913 Sheridan road southeast was
robbed Of $31 at the point OF pistol
by three colored men.
Lee met a colored man at the Union
station, which was the starting point
for the crew of the first hold-up. He
walked from the station to the cor
ner of New Jersey avenue and G
streets, where they were met by two
other colored men. One of the men
produced a pistol while others rifed
Lees clothing.
The fact that the first hold-up netted
so small amount, and the compare
lively short time between operations,
lead police to believe that the same
three men were principals in both.

IDENTIFY SHOOTING STARS.
Meteors Observed Near Midnight
Called "Wandering Perseids."

Shooting stars appearing in the
skies during the hours before mid
night are wandering perseids, astron-
omers at the Naval and Georgetown
University observatortes say. Every
year, at about this time, the earth
passes through stream of perseids,
which are little, meteorites supposed
to be dust. and, fragments Of some
larger body, probably Swift's comet,
which. after following its orbit for
several decades, disappeared from the
view of astronomers. The perseids
appear annually about August 10.
Another swarm of meteors, known
as leonids. appears in great density
about November every thirty three
years, the number of leonids decreas-
ing annually for about fifteen years.
when 1t again increases. These de-
rive their name from the fact that
they appear to proceed from the con-
Stellation Leo. The last great swarm
several years ago was much smaller
than formerly, and astronomers be-
'lteve from calculations that tho
stream has been disturbed by the at
traction Of another planet.

GASOLINE DEALERS CITED.
Thirty One Interstate Distributors
Charged by Competitors,

Thirty-one interstate distributors of
gasoline have been cited by the Fed
eral Trade Commission in formal COM
plants alleging unfair competition.
Competitors Of the distributors cited
initiated the case. The concerns, are
charged with supplying gasoline deal
ers with automatic measuring pumps
at cut prices on condition that dealers
shall not retail the gasoline of COM
--petitors from pumps thus furnished.
The complaints set forth that the
practice has the effect of stirling and
suppressing competition in the sale of
gasoline and gasoline pumps because
many distributors of gasoline have in
sufficient capital to engage in the
competitive practice of supplying
pumps at prices less than those re-
quired for a reasonable return on the
investment, and because many manu-
facturers of pumps do not also sell
gasoline and cannot afford to sell their
pumps at unwarrantably low prices.
The concerns were cited to make an
swer before the commission in Wash
ington September Is.

SFOR BUDGET SYSTEM
Endorses Money Appropriating
Plan for Both Federal and
District Government.

Endorsement Of the budget system o
appropriating money for conducting
the affairs of the national government
was reiterated by the Chamber O
Commerce at meeting yesterday aft
. ernoon when the report of a specia
committee named to consider and re-
I port on the question was adopted.
4 The committees report indorset
: without qualification the action taker
by the United States Chamber of Com.
: merce in support Of a national budget
system. adding Endorsement of bud
: get system for the District.
In its report the special committee
said in part:
Receiving Increased Attention.
The subject of a national budget
system is receiving increasing atten-
ton both from Congress and from
the general public. Under the system
of making appropriations which has
been in vogue for many years there
has been much overlapping and dupl-
cation. Various committees of Con-
Eress have presented appropriation
bills for different operations of the
government. and in many instances
the work done under these appropria-
tions in the several bureaus and de-
partments has been duplicated.
1T is quite universally conceded
that there ought to be some change
in the method of estimates. auditing
accounts, and especially in the effort
to establish some relationship between
the income and the outgo of the ma
tion. There are a great many propo-
sails looking toward this end. Econo-
mists do not all agree on all plans.
hnf fhov q nnif the need OF
some plan.
"Of the plans so far submitted to
Congress the committee is of the
opinion that the Good bill is the most
practicable. This plan briefly pro-
vides budget bureau, an accounting
department and a joint committee on
receipts and expenditures in the gov
eminent"
Recommend Action.
The committee recommended the
following action, which was taken:
THAT the chamber place itself on
record as favoring a budget system of
governmental estimates and expendi-
lures.
That the chamber heartily ap-
proves the action of the United States
Chamber of Commerce in urging the
budget system upon Congress.
That the chamber approves the re-
cent action of the House in authoriz-
ing the special committee on budget,
which shall carefully consider all
plans proposed and shall submit rec
concentrations to the House not later
than March /. 1920.
That the chamber will continue its
efforts along this line to the end that
this much-needed improvement in the
financial machinery of the govern
ment shall be an accomplished fact"
Seven new members have been add
ed to the rolls of the chamber. They
are Joseph r. Brooks. Robert Hardi-
son. Writ Taylor. John e. Francis, w.
