TOTAL OF 1895, 900, 900
PROBABLE FOR THE NAVY
Approximate Amount in Bill to Be
Reported Tomorrow-No Cut
in Officers List.

The naval appropriation bill. which
probably will be reported to the House
tomorrow, carries approximately
1896. O0O, 700. a reduction of about $685.
000, 900 from the amount appropriated
a year ago and 100000 less than
departmental estimates.
Members of the appropriations sub
committee that framed the bill say
this would necessitate a reduction of
the Nays enlisted personnel from a
present possible maximum of $4,000
to a maximum of 100000, but would
permit a continuation of the Nays
building program at the same rate as
during the current fiscal year.
Chairman Kelley of the subcommit-
tee says that a force of 100000 regu-
lars would be ample for the Nays
needs during the year beginning
July 1.
There will be no cut in the number
OF officers, according to Representa-
tive Kelley. who said the subcommit-
tee believed every one of the $500
now in service should be retained.
Use of only modern craft, in the
subcommittee opinion, would cut
down the amount of repair work at
various shore bases and would per-
init a reduction in land forces and
the possible abandonment of some
stations. No provision Is made in the
bill for the abandonment of any of
the Nays land bases.
Representative Kelley said that the
amount carried in the appropriation
bill would permit monthly expendi-
ture of approximately S7,500,000 on
the Nays construction program dur
ing the coming fiscal year and would
not necessitate the abandonment of
any projects already started.

CONFUSION marks
SCHOOL CHANGES
Second Semester Begins
With Teachers and Officials
Striving for Order.

The beginning of the second semes-
ter in the District public schools to-
day found virtually all of them in a
generally upset condition, with the
teachers and officials making every
effort to adjust them. Hundreds of
children We're transferred from one
classroom to another, and many others
shifted to different schools.
Pathetic scenes marked the trans
1err1ng in several schools. when chill
dren devoted to their teachers were
parted. This was particularly true at
the o Street Junior High School, where
several girls were discovered crying
aloud because they had been separated
from their section teacher.
According 10 school officials it will
take several days to regulate the
school machinery SO it will run
present academic year. Meantime, the
entire school system will be in a more
or less confused condition, due to the
mldterm reorganization.
Comparatively few additional chill
dren were enrolled in the elementary
schools today. according to first fig
ures sent into administration head
quarters. In fact, officials believe
that not more than 300 new pupils
will be registered in the graded
schools.
The already overcrowded high
schools, however. felt the effect of the
midyear promotions. Figures obtained
today show that S33 new students
were registered in these Institutions
Central received 275 of them, bringing
the school total enrolment up to
nearly 3,10O, the largest in it's history
Business enrolled 200, Mckinley 14S,
Eastern $50 and Western so. The o
Street Junior High School registered
more than 100 new students
To accommodate the large enroll
ments all of the high schools started
In today on the two-shift system of
operation. In most cases the fresh
men students were put into classes
attending school in the afternoon
while the higher students were put
in classes attending in the morning.

DECLINE IN Junk
HITS THE DISTRICT
Price Drop May Force Deficit
in Trash Collection
Service.
ONLY $4,000 LAST MONTH
$4,000 Average Derived During
First Half of Fiscal Year-Con.
tract Expires on July l.

Sudden decline recently in the value OF
waste paper. bottles and other forms of
junk leaves the District facing the pos
sibility of a deficit in the operation OF
the trash collection service at the end of
the fiscal year, it was learned at the Dis
trict Building today.
Maj. F. S. Besson. assistant engineer
commissioner. and Morris F. Hacker.
supervisor of refuse collection. stated
that only $4,000 was derived last month
from the sale Of material salvaged from
the trash cans of the city. whereas dur
ing the first half of this fiscal year the
proceeds from salvage averaged 81. 900
q month. In one month last summer
$22, 900 was derived from salvage. Maj.
Besson estimated roughly that the def
cit would be About $4,000 at the end
of the year in July. If the prices received
from salvage do not increase. If the
values of waste paper. cans. rags and
bottles go up, the deficit would be less.
Taken Over by District.
More than a year ago the contract
ing firm which owns the present trash
plant near Mount Olivet cemetery was
forced by high costs of operation to
discontinue the collection of city
refuse. and the District took over
the pant unuer the TERMS VI tne
contract.
This contract expires July 1. after
which the city has three alternatives:
To seek bids and again make "a. con-
tract for trash collection; 20 rent

tinue under the present system OF

1t is believed likely that the sec
ond plan will be adopted. 4 previous

ton.

ton for the operation Of the trash
plant for the balance of the fiscal
year. but this. with only $4,000 a
month from salvage, will not, it is
stated. meet the cost Of operation.

Steps to establish community

support the charitable and social or
CARNATIONS of the city, probably will
not be taken before the end of this
year. in the opinion of Commissioner
Mabel 7. Boardman. stanch advocate
OF the idea d
Miss Boardman pointed out that
1t Is too late now to attempt to
finance the charitable work of Wash
ington for the current year on the
single budget or community fund
olan. She also voiced the belief that
he city should be made thoroughly
familiar with every detail of the sys-
tenn before it is put into operation.
James II. Garfield's Address.
Representative business men and
charity workers gathered at the Will
lard Hotel yesterday afternoon and
heard James X. Garfield, son of the
former President, explain how Cleve-
land. Ohio. has perfected the COM
munity fund after ten years of grad
ual development.
The primary object of a commu-
nifty fund is to have one united cam
paign a year to raise the amount
needed by all Of the city's institu-
lions and societies. instead of the
present method of each organization
conducting a separate drive.
Mr.. Garfield said the community
fund is source of protection, both to
the societies and the public. because
cit practically guarantees to the
former the money they need to carry
IN their work. and it relieves the
business men and other citizens of the
annoyance of receiving an appeal
rom a different charity every week
in the year.
Points Out Advantages.
Here are some of the advantages of
the community fund. as pointed out
by Mr.. Garfield:
1t relieves the active charity work.
ers from the worry of raising the
funds with which to carry on their
activities. thereby enabling them to
devote all their time to relieving the
needy.
It distributes the burden of support
ing the city's charities among thou
sands Of the inhabitants instead of
among hundreds.
1t establishes a spirit of co-opera-
ton among the charitable organiza-
tons OF different classes and religion.
In Cleveland. Mr.. Garfield. declared,
united in forming the Federation Of
Philanthropy and Charity, under the
auspices of which the community fund
is raised and expended.
Method OF Raising Fund.
The complete needs Of each organ
ization for the entire year are drawn
up into one budget, he said which
represents the full amount the city
must give to charity during the twelve
months The federation then raises
the amount needed in an intensive
seven-day campaign.
Introducing Mr.. Garfield, Commits
sioner Boardman declared that every
phase OF charitable and philanthropic
work has progressed in this country
except the method of financing those
organizations which had not been inn
proved upon until the community fund
plan was worked out.
