RENT COMMISSION
SHORT OF MONEY
Deficiency Appeal Planned to
Prevent Suspension in
Next Sixty Days.

The District of Columbia Rent
Commission has scarcely money
enough left to continue operation for
for further funds forthcoming as vet
This was learned today when Chair
man A. Lettwich Sinclair stated that
he was drawing up estimates for ex-
penses and maintenance to be sub
mitted to Congress for inclusion in
the deficiency bill now pending.
Mr.. Sinclair said that he had been
informed by the District auditor. D.
iJ. Donovan, that the bill re-enacting
the original Rent Commission act and
extending the life of the commission
did not carry an appropriation for
maintenance
Provides All But Cash.
The bill re-enacts the original act
which carried an. appropriation OF
$4,000. and it was thought for a
time that the re-enacting bill carried
new appropriation of this amount
much.
But. according TO District fiscal eX-
perts, law of Congress stipulates
that the amount OF an appropriation,
even in a re-enacting measure, must
contain the figures for the new ap-
preparation. In other words, the bill
extending the commissions life car
ried everything with it except cash.
The commission has approximately
$1,000 on hand. Mr.. Sinclair said. Now,
since 1919, when the original act was
passed, $4,000 has been appropriated
for the commission. Seventy thou
sand has heen used in the thirty-two
months that the commission has
functioned, giving an average of
Grafton.
Two Additional Members.
The new act. however. provides for
two additional members of the Rent
Commission. Their combined salaries
alone will be a matter approXimating
81, 900 month in all. and the need
accommodation will necessitate fur
ther expenditures. The $1,000 on
hand is not going to keep doors open
more than sixty days at the most.
and unless Congress railroads an ap-
appropriation for the commission
through the deficiency bill channels
the commission will have to stop
functioning.
The commission plans to have the
estimates for the next year in the
hands of the District fiscal experts
within the next forty-eight hours.

Trains Kids to Cry if Folks Won't
Buy

J. NJ. Overton was arrested on
five different charges Monday after
raising the ire of most of the town
by his attempt to sell a fake ma
chine OIL He had trained his two
Oldest children to burst out crying
if they didn't make a sale, and to
tell a hard luck story about their
father being sick, and starving. At
the hearing Overton denied that he
told the children to do this, but there
were no end of witnesses to prove
that the youngsters got off the same
story at every place they visited. Mr..
Overton sold Singer sewing machines
in this vicinity several years ago,
and lived in the place now owned
by Bert Henderson. They disap-
peared in the night, leaving bills all
over town. On account of the fam
lily, six children and Mrs. Overton,
a light sentence was given, $40 and
costs, and they were ordered to leave
the vicinity at once.-Osage Press.

KILLED NEAR CALMAR
Stephen Hruska Driving Oil Truck
Struck by Passenger Train
Thursday Afternoon.

The following concerning the
frghtful accident and death OF
Stephen Hruska last Thursday is
taken from the Calmar Courier.
Last Thursday, afternoon, at about
4:25 frightful accident occurred al
the railroad crossing on the Calmar-
! Spillville road, near the James Sobo-
! lik and John Zeman farms, when the
afternoon passenger train going west
struck one of the large Hawkeye
Oil Co., oil trucks, which was being
driven by Mr.. Stephen Hruska, of
Calmar, who was driving for the oil
company. Mr.. Hruska being killed
instan ly, his head and face being
frightfully crushed, and body other
wise cut and badly bruised. The
crossing is very dangerous, when
one is coming from Spillville, in
which direction Mr.. Hruska was COM
ing. There is quite a cut along the
railroad right of way, and the high
way rises quite abruptly to cross the
tracks, making it almost impossible
to see an approaching train from
the east until one is practically on
the tracks. A son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Bena, who was working near
the scene of the accident, stated
that as he saw the accident, the oil
truck was nearly across the tracks
when the train struck it, catching
the rear end of the truck and swing
ing it around completely and hitting
the front end again. The truck was
a complete wreck, there hardly being
enough left to call it an automobile.
The engine on the train was also
somewhat damaged. The train stop
ped, picked up the poor unfortun-
ate man, and backed up to the sta
ton here.
Mr.. Hruska leaves wife, mother,
several brothers and sisters to mourn
his untimely death.
The people of Calmar extend their
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved.
Mr.. Hruska was an ex-service man,
and a member of the John Halverson,
Jr., Post 266, of American Legion.
The funeral will be held Saturday
morning at Spillville, Iowa, members
of the Legion expect to attend in
a body.
