PAY FOR PRINTING
/: BUDGET AN ISSUE
Mr.. Dawes Figures May
Have to Go to Congress
in Typewriter Form.

Finding out who is to pay for the
printing of the first budget which is
to go to Congress in December is a
problem that the bureau of budget is
wrestling with, so far without result.
The matter was put up to the con-
troller general of the United States,
who laid down certain laws. and left
it to the budget director to take his
choice.
Whether the budget will be sent to
Congress in typewriter form. and
then wait for weeks while 1t is
printed, or be printed in advance SO
that every one interested may study
1t without delay is a question that the
budget bureau Is trying to have some
one settle.
View Of Controller General.
The controller general, following
the suggestion of the budget bureau,
says that If the budget is to be sub
mitted as a message OF the Presldent
of the United States, then Congress
must pay for printing 1t. However,
the controller says that as the budget
bureau is a branch of the Treasury
Department, it can be done under the
printing allotment for that branch OF
the government If the Secretary of the
Treasury will certify in writing that
nary and necessary conduct" of the
business of the department.
The law of January IL. 1895. pro-
vides that Presidents message be
printed Immediately upon receipt by
Congress This would seem to be
the law in the case, unless the Sec
retary of the Treasury makes the
certification pointed out by the con-
troller general.
Problem Is Presented.
As the budget law says the budget
shall go as a message of the Presi-
dent, the charge for printing will be
against Congress- and, therefore. there
is no one in the administrative branch
with authority to direct the print
ing.
1t is probable. it was said, that ef-
forts win be made to have the con-
gressional printing committee author
ize the printing in advance of the
converting of Congress- as 1t was
pointed out that unless this was done
it will be weeks before copies can be
II this course is decided upon. copy
will begin to go to the public printer
Immediately.

Fails to Determine Cause Of
Dirigible Collapse.
BY the Associate Press.

HULL. October 4.-The catastrophe

Humber river on August "a, in which
more than forty persons. including six
teen Americans, lost their lives, was
due to. accident, according to the ver-
dict reached by the coroner's jury at
the resumed inquest here today. There
is no evidence as to the actual cause
of the disaster, the verdict says.
This verdict was rendered in the
case of Lieut.. Commander Charles G.
Little of, the American Navy, which
was the first to be considered by the
ccroner's jury.
The coroner announced that he had
dealt fully at the previous hearing
with all the formal evidence, identi-
fcations and other matters of the
sort,- and said it was now the duty
of the jury to find whether in its
opinion the circumstances of the ap-
palling disaster indicated any degree
Of criminal negligence or criminal
culpability, and, If SO, to what de-
gree.
If the jurors, added the coroner, de-
termined that the disaster was acci-
dental and there was an entire absence
of aRy- such negligence they must
inqui Re, as to what precautions should
be taken to prevent a recurrence of
such a catastrophe.

10,947 D. c. Dogs. :
TO co UNMASKED
Their "Day" Begins October
9, When They Get Freedom
+-''.
of City for All Winter.

There is an old saying that every
dog has his day, and for the canine
residents of Washington that day will
be Sunday, October 8.
In accordance with an order passed
by the Commissioners early in the
summer. dogs may go unmuzzled on
the streets from October 9 to July 9.
During the balance Of the year they
must be muzzled or attached to
leash.
1O,947 Dogs Registered.
According to the records Of the col
lector of taxes there are 10,947
licensed dogs in Washington this
year. and it is more than likely that
every last one Of them will be turned
out by his master Sunday morning
to enjoy the first day of freedom
from a muzzle.
For a number of years past dogs
have been required to be muzzled
throughout the twelve months. The
new board of Commissioners has taxi
en- the view that muzzles are not nec-
essary during the winter months.
1O2 Persons Bitten.
Records obtained from the health
department today show that since
July l. 102 persons have been bitten
by dogs, and for the same period of
last year practically the same num-
Der. 1O3, dog bite cases were reported.
From July to September OF last
year not single dog which bit a Pc
destrian was found to be rabid. This
year, however, five out of six dogs
that were examined for rabies were
found to be suffering from the malady.
Health officer Fowler, 1t is known,
was opposed to removing muzzles
from dogs even during the winter
months, fearing that the animals
would bite as quickly in December as
in August.

PRESIDENT IN PLEA
FOR STATE JOB AID
Urges Governors and Mayors
to Make Greatest Possible
Efforts to Supply Work.

President Harding has issued an
appeal to the governors and mayors
throughout the nation to lend every
unemployment situation. This appeal
to the heads of the states and the
municipalities was suggested by the
pronouncement Of the Unemployment
conference that the solution Of the
unemployment problem depends to a
large extent upon local communities.
The statement in full. as sent to the
governors and MAJORS and as made
public at the White House, follows:
President's Plea.
1.-THE conference which l recently
summoned to Washington to advise
as to the unemployment situation has
demonstrated that an unusual volume
of unemployment exists and that
pending the recuperation of trade the
situation cannot be met, in due re-
gard to our obligations and necessi-
ties, without a much more than usual
organization throughout those states
and municipalities where unemploy-
ment has reached considerable pro-
portions.
"The conference has recommended
plan of organization which has the
support of commercial. manufactur-
ing, professional and labor represen-
tatives of the country. 1t Is highly
necessary that more accurate knowl-
edge should be had. through such or
ganization, Of the volume and neceS-
stiles of the unemployed. 1t is es-
sential that the cooperation of all
sections of each community should
be brought into action behind such
organization to provide work and as
sistance that we may pass through
the coming winter without great suf-
fering and distress.
Communities Hold Key.
'Tt Is of national importance that ev-
cry community should at once undertake
such organization in order that the ma
ton might be protected as a whole.
Moreover the thorough commitment to
such a task is sure to start a thousand
activities which viii add to our common
welfare.
II, therefore, appeal to the governors
and MAJORS Of the nation that they
should take the steps recommended by
the conference.
.'In order that there may be a unity
Of action by all the forces which may be
brought to bear. whether governmental
or private. the unemployment conference
Is establishing an agency in Washing
ton through which appropriate co-opera-
ton can be promoted, and through
which reports on progress and sugges-
tions may be given general circulation
and cooperation. I trust this agency
will be supported in this endeavor."
