GOES OVER
S|TUA ION.
WITH LORD
Officials Believed to Have I'm
pressed President With
{ City's Needs.

District officials have made
"a strong impression" upon the
President and the bureau of the
budget heads in their appeal for
an increase from $24,500,O00 to
$30,000,000 as the limit allotted
or apportioned to the District of
Columbia government for the
next year.
Gen. Herbert NJ. Lord, direc-
tor of the budget, gave this en-
couraging information at the
White House today after he had
conferred with President Hard
ing for nearly an hour. He
added however, that he did not
discuss the Districts plea in
particular, but rather the whole
problem of apportionment.
Likely to Grant Request.
1t was indicated by General Lord
that the request Of the District Com
missioners for an increase approNi'
mating Sc, ,OO0, 900 would receive the
most careful attention of the budget
officials, and that the extra allow
ances, particularly for schools and
street improvements, would doubt
less be granted.
Samuel J. Prescott. vice chairman
of the Republican State Committee,
discussed the budget allowance fer
the District, in considerable detail
with the President as the representa-
tive of the District commissioners.
He carried to the President specific
pleas and outlined in detail the
basis for the Commissioners request
for additional funds.
Mr.. Prescott stressed what he de-
scribed as the deplorable condi-
tions" in the school system.
especially the lack of schools to meet
demands. He informed the President
regarding particular localities in need
of greatly improved facilities. and
was asked to submit further informa.
ton on the subject, Mr.. Harding be
ing intensely interested to maintain
high standards in the school system.
Knows Some Bad Spots.
The President is also interested in
the streets and highways of the
District. having personal knowledge
OF some of the more wretChed spots
in the Capital. He is understood TO
be desirous of much-needed repairs
in certain sections, and it is believed
ne will respond to the request of the
Commissioners for necessary funds
for the purpose.
Mr.. Prescott did not care to dis
cuss in any detail the Presidents
convictions regarding the appeal for
an extra allowance, but indicated
that the Executive was much inter-
ested in the claims Of the Capitals
welfare, and would soon seek from
the bureau Of the budget some gen
eral information.
Senator Ball OF Delaware, chair
man of the Senate District commit
tee, also saw the President today
and incidentally urged some of the
claims set forth by the District Com
missioners for extra allowances.

In selecting prospective

jury, the commission drew the
names of f. c. Wagner, of
1924 Eighth street northwest,
and Freddie V. Davis, 237
Eighth street northeast, never
suspecting that they were
women.
The two were served with
summonses by deputy marshals
to appear yesterday in the
court preparatory to being eX-
amined, and sworn in to do
jury duty. When their names
were called and they both
responded there was quite a
little surprise for the court as
we'll as for the public. Lawyers
present were curious whether
the women would serve or not.
The question was easily solved.
When the clerk of the court
asked the usual question
whether the talesmen had any
reasons to offer to the court
why they should not serve, the
women asked to be excused,
offering no specific reasons.
Justice Stafford granted their
request without asking any
questions.
