6O-4O BILL Up
FORPASSAGE
Davis Confident Measure Will Be
Enacted As Debate Opens
in House.

Predicting that the House would
adopt the 60-40 plan OF appropriat-
ing for the needs OF the District
government, Congressman Davis, OF
Minnesota, chairman In charge Of the
District of Columbia appropriations
bill, called up the measure in the
House this afternoon.
MAY PAS sTODAY.
Thre hours general debate was al
lowed after which speakers will be
given five minutes each. which will
bring about passage OF the bill late
today.
Congressman Davis declared the
business men of Washington are
comparatively satisfied with the 60-40
fiscal arrangement under the bill.
Proponents of the old 5000 plan,
he said, are content to let the new
fiscal arrangement stand.
"The present bill is the largest bill
from the District ever presented to
this Congress-" said Davis.
He declared that although the com
mittee had cut the District estimates
more than S5,0O0,000 the committee
had granted every appropriation pos
sible in order TO keep up the Govern,
ment.
IF the estimates had been carried
out in full, VIC would have had to
raise the tax in the District to
see. The only thing to do was to
cut the estimates or raise the taxes.
so we chose the alternative Of re-
ducing the expenditures"
QUESTION OF RAISES.
Referring to the question of sal
aries, Mr.. Davis said that it was
| impossible for the committee to
raise the compensation of clerks I'M
/ less the committee went way outside
the bounds.
Mr.. Davis pointed out that the APP
! preparations under the present bill
were not the only funds that would
/ be provided for the District during
! the session. He declared that the es-
Inmates for the District in the sundry
! civil, legislative and other bills would
reach exactly $3,3S2 943, which would
bring the total District figures up to
| approximately S22,OOO,OOO
I'VE have hewn so close to the line
in preparing this BILL" said Mr.. Divs,
II don't believe there is 500 900 over
! the margin. The committee made no
running jump and guess in preparing
the bill, and every item was cut sys-
tematically and intelligently."
! He explained that the reason tht
committee slashed the street appro-
priations was for the purpose of iiv
| ing Sl,5OO,0O0 additional to the pub
! lie schools.

| curtail street improvement, which

DANCERS HUSBAND
|. HIT HER WITH VASE
Left Theater, Married, Ended
Up As SalesIady, Says Girl
Asking Divorce.

From the footlights of New YORK
theater to the crowded sales stand
of a Washington department store is
a far step, believes pretty Olga Pa
velka, former Gotham show girl. who
today asked the District Supreme
Court to award her n limited divorce
and alimony from Frank J. Pavelka,
an employe OF the Government Hos
pital for the Insane.
Mrs. Pavelka, whose stage name
was Olga Marion, alleges that dur
ing the three short months Of her
married life she was brutally treated
by her cX-soIdier husband, who. IT Is
alleged, once struck her with flow
er vase and on other occasions beat
and chOked her. He also treated her
with silent contempt il was
charged and after deserving her On
September 10 last filed suit here for
divorce on the grounds Of miscon-
duct.
GAVE Up DANCING.
Today the wife asked the court TO
dismiss his bill and award her lin
tied divorce because of cruelty ana
nonsupport. The Pavelkas were mar
ried in New York last June, following
romance that developed when Pa
velka was III camp in New York dur
ing the war. The bride, who gave
up her dancing to assume the rcspon-
sibilities of a housewife, declared
that Pavelka never provided her with
tho barest necessities OF life, let
alone the comforts Of home.
n
in st. Elizabeth's, Pavelka left his
bride in the latter part Of August, IL
was alleged in the answer filed by
the wife, and came home but once or
twice a week with no excuse for his
absence. The last time he was home.
she declared, he beat her, stole 5000
Of her savings from trunk, struck
her with the flower vase and depart
ed with this curt remark: I'm
through with you; l never want to
see YOU again. Get out"
LEFT HER WITH STRANGERS.
This was on September u last, she
averred, Pavelka leaving her penni-
less and in a city of strangers. She
wired home for funds, she stated, and
through the kindness of the propric-
tor of a rooming house, was allC> ed
to remain in her rooms until she OBJ
tanned a job as salesiady in a depart
ment store during the holiday crush.
When this job is finished declared
the wife, she knows not where to
turn for help, and for this reason
asked the court to award her alimony
pending the settlement of the divorce
proceedings.
The wife asked that Pavelka be or
dered to show cause why he should
not be compelled to support his wife
during their estrangemcnt.

Last Hour Selling
Depresses Market
After Short Upturn
Rally Led by Minor Steels
and Motors Fails to
Attract Following and
Sharp Reaction Sets In

Yesterdays stock market started
out as IL the recovery begun late
Thursday afternoon might carry con-
sidcrably further before the. end Ct the
session. Certain Of the steel shares
were singled out and actively pur-
chased by the professional element, and
the buying movement extended into
other parts of the list, including some
of the motors, the sugar shares and the
rails.
But the rally was not enthusiastical-
ly supported and failed to attract a
following, the market relapsing into a
state of dullness in which prices
drifted sluggishly until early afternoon
The failure of the recovery to carry
ahead offered an opportunity for re-
sumption of professional operations on
! the short side, with the result that
selling broke out afresh in the late
throughout the market. On this
break tho more popular industrial is
sues dropped in many cases under the
low prices made on the decline of
earlier in the week, and the market
closed practically at the bottom in a
state of great confusion.
Again the financial community was
at loss to account for the lack OF
confidence in the market, for there
was no news on which the revival Of
selling could be based. The social ID
minor steel issues furnished a strong
group up to the time the market
turned downward in the afternoon, be-
ing led by Lackawanna Steel, which

may be taken into merger of several

Vanadium Steel reflected active pool
operations. Chandler Motors, which
crossed $50 at its high price for the
day, was the strongest of the motor
group, but with the rest of the mar
ket gave way before the onslaught
against prices in the final hour.
Mexican Oil shares were depressed
throughout the session by reports OF
a bad situation in the republic to the
south, which may necessitate the dis
patching of American warships to
look after American interests. Mexican
Petroleum stock at 1865 was less than
5 points above the low price made on
can Petroleum issues were similarly
depressed.
Railway shares held Up fairly we'll
in the face Of the selling toward the
close.
Liberty Loan bonds were again sub
jected to pressure, although they ap-
peared to offer greater resistance to
the selling than on preceding days of
the week.
Call money was in fairly liberal sup
ply throughout the session at 7 per
cent, despite substantial Withdrawals
for government account. The leading
