HUNTING THE HIDDEN TREASURE
TRYING HARD TO BREAK
DEADLOCK ON D. C. BILL

Desperate efforts are being made
by House leaders today to break the
deadlock on the District appropria-
ton bill.
Following conferences today be-
tween House Leader Mondell and SEN
ator Curtis, chairman of the Senate
subcommittee on District appropria-
tions, and between Mr.. Mondell and
Chairman Good of the House appro-
priations committee, a meeting of the
full House appropriations committee
is being held this afternoon to con-
slider the District bill
Commissioner Brownlow was at the
Capitol again today in conferences
with Senate and House leaders, i'm
pressing upon them the very severe
losses that will entail if the District
appropriation bill is not passed.
The need for Immediate work on
new school buildings and street re-
pairs was emphasized. 1t was also
salaries for District employees. which
are provided for in the appropriation
bill, are passed 1t will be impossible
to retain efficient employees.
i Senator Curtis, in q conference
with Mr.. Mondell, today made it plain
that the Senate conferees do not in
tend to come to any agreement un-
less the House ,conferees will accept
the Senate proposal
AS the conferees from both houses
have formally reported disagree
ment, on which the Senate has al
ready acted. and with no action re-
quired in the House. the District ap-
locked unless the House and Senate
leaders are able to effect some COM
promise. The matter is now removed
from the hands of the conferees.

FACED
BY DEPARTMENTS
If D. c. BILL FAILS
Heads of Branches Unable
to Contract for Purchase
of Supplies.

Practically every branch of the Dis
trict government will be handicapped
in the purchase of necessary supplies
for the next fiscal year if Congress
fails before adjournment to agree on
the District appropriation bill and
passes resolution continuing the
appropriations of the past year.
The extent to which the heads Of
departments would be hit depends
largely upon the wording of con-
tinuing resolution. it was said at the
District building today.
If the appropriations are contin-
ued only for three or four months it
would mean. District officials say.
that only one-twelfth of each de-
partments allotment could be spent
in each of these months. whereas
nearly all the branches of the city
government are accustomed to con-
tracing for the. bulk of their years
supplies during July and August.
Fairgrounds Would Suffer.
The water department would suf-
fer by such a condition. Pipe Is high
and would be difficult to get on
monthly orders.
The Fairgrounds and bathing beach
also would be seriously affected by a
continuing resolution that would per-
of their appropriations month.
The Fairgrounds department has
thirty-three assistant directors. who
work only from three to seven months
tof the year If last years annual
appropriation for these employees is
split into one twelfth month it
will reduce the compensation that could
be paid those workers.
The bathing. beach also has en-,
ployes who work only during the sum-
mer months.
Police and Ffremen Hit.
Perhaps no group of District en-
ployes would ,be harder hit by failure
of the District bill to pass than ,the
police and firemeT. If the District
bin fails they willslose. the $240 bonus
beginning Jflly l.
The appropriation bill, which car
ried the $24O bonus for federal and
District workers for the next fiscal
year specifically omitted police and
received in their basic pay. last year.
The Commissioners had succeeded in
having a $120 bonus for these city de-
tenders inserted in the District bill.
II the District bill fails the guardians
Of law and property will get no bonus;
firemen will resign during the sum-
mer months if the District bill is not
enacted before adJournment. The
young men particularly. who can find
other employment. without difficulty
probably will leave the service.
The COMMISSIONERS are watching
anxiously developments at the Capitol
and hoping that in the few remaining
hours of the session some compromise
wild be hit upon by the House and
Senate conferees in charge'of the Dis
trictDlIL -. g

Bitter House Debate
Marks Elimination of
$4,000 for D. c. Roads

There was bitter debate in the
House yesterday over the eliminat ton
of 100000 asked for repair of subur-
ban roads. which was not included in
the deficiency bill which passed the
House yesterday.
When Representative Zihlman of
Maryland endeavored to have the
item included. Chairman Good of the
House appropriations committee Sc
yerely criticised the District Com
missioners for their policy in road i'm
provements, especially for leniency
toward the street railway company
for neglect of the roadbed along Con-
necticut avenue.
Mr.. Good also criticised the state
of Maryland for being SO strict in ar
resting District automotiSts who cross
the line without a Maryland license
He said that Maryland should recip-
rocate as do other states.
Representative Zihlman engaged in
spirited discussion with Mr. Good
and said:
You can travel from Washington
to the Maryland line near Cniontown,
Pa. a distance of 200 miles, and the
worst road in all that distance is To-
Gated here in the National Capital"
He said it would be entirely unfair
to reciprocate with the privilege of
using all those fine roads in return
for passing over a few miles of very
uneven roads in the District.

WOULD PUT RENT
LAW T0F|NALT TEST.
Tenant Asks Writ of Error to
Garry Case to U. S. Su-
preme Court.

The District Court of Appeals has
under consideration today an applica-
t,on for a writ of error to take the
case involving the validity OF pc BAH
rent law to the United States supreme
Court. Application for review OF the
finding against the law has been made
by julius Block. tenant OF the r street
store of which Louis Hirsh seeks to
gain possession.
Formal objection to the granting OF
the writ is made by Mr.. Hirsh.
through Attorneys Myer Cohen. r. ID.
Daniels and William O. johnson.
Counsel for the owner claim that no
right of review by writ of error exists
under the provision Of the judicial
code unless the amount in contro-
versy exceeds $1,000. They point out
that no such money consideration is
involved in the case
the eight of an indefinite extension of
Possession not exceeding. one'.year
from october -. 1920. and IL does not
appear that such right of POSSESSION
EQUALS or exceeds in value $1,000 over
and above the rent of the premises.
Arguments Are Set Forth.
Twelve assignments of error are
set forth in the petition for the trans
fer. of the case TO the United States
Supreme Court.-submitted by Attor-
news Julius /. Peyser ana Jesse c. Ad-
kfffs.. Among the alleged errors in the
ma ajority opinion are the holding that
the renting of real estate is not affect
ed with a public use: that it Is pri-
yate business, and that Congress was
not exercising its police power legiti-
mafely. E4+
Copies of the application and OBJ
lection have been furnished the JUS
tices and an early decision is expected
on the question.

HEAVY DAMAGE IN FIRE
AT PROVISION HOUSE

Fire which started shortly before
o'clock this afternoon in the ware
room of the Auth Provision Company,
$50 D street southwest, threatened for
a time to destroy the boiler room and
ammonia tank directly beneath. The
loss had not been determined when
this report closed, although it is be-
lieved to be more than $4,000. The
origin Of the fire is unknown.
The fire gained considerable head
way in the warehouse before it was
discovered, and was eating it's way
toward the ammonia tank when the
fire department., which was called out
on double alarm, reached the scene.
The firemen soon gained control of
the situation.
Precautions had to be taken by the
firemen in their work in fighting the
flames because of the danger of a pos
sible explosion of the ammonia tank.
