TO SAVE SCHOOL
$6,ol0,0(O FUND
Commissioners Welding Blue
Pencil to Meet Budget
Demands.
BALLOU PRESENTS
VIEWS OF BOARD
Superintendent in Final Plea for
Essentials of Educa-
ton Program.

The District budget. for the hscal
year beginning next July, which has
been shrinking gradually for many
weeks, is receiving it's last trimming
at the hands of the Commissioners to-
day. When the city heads lay down
their blue pencils this afternoon tney
hope to have the estimates down to
the limit of s245OO,O00 stipulated by
the bureau of the budget.
Supt. of Schools Ballou was closeted
with the Commissioners today, to pre-
sent the views of the board of educa-
ton as to which school items should
be eliminated The original estimates
of the school board called for sS.4Oo,-
600. When the city heads were ad-
vised by the budget bureau that the
total estimates would have to be cut
from s27, 100000 to S24,500,00O they
asked the school authorities to trim
their requirements to S5,500,OOO.
Other Cuts Promised.
After the school board had laid
the urgent needs of the school sys-
tenn before the Commissioners. the
District heads agreed to make deeper
cuts in some other projects In ordeK
TO give the schools more. By this
revision, which is being made today,
the schools will get in round num-
bers, S6,O00.000.
This means, however. that street
improvements, new sewers, ana otner
municipal improvements have had to
suffer a further curtailment, In norder
that the total of the budget would
not exceed the limit fixed by the
budget bureau.
After today's conference corps
of clerks in the office of the Com
missioners will buckle down to the
ioyful task of putting the book or
estimates in final shape for trans
mission to the Treasury Department
not later than Friday morning THESE
clerks have checked and rechecked
the long list of items that make up
the budget 80 many times in the
mast six weeks that they can see dol
lar marks everywhere they look.
Budget short Of Needs.
A budget of s24,5O0,000 does not
come near meeting the essential needs
of the District. and is approximately
$4,000, 900 less than the estimates as
submitted to the budget office last
wear. Next to the reduction of more
than s2.O0O,0OO in the original school
estimates, the most serious cut had to
be made in the list of streets that
reed new paving. This list called for
$1,000. 900, which, it is said, the Com
missioners had to reduce to approx
mately 100000.
For much-needed new sewers the
engineer department sought 1000,
which likewise had to be cut almost
in half The Commissioners are bank
ing their hopes on the hearing which
Gen. Lord has agreed to give them. at
which time they will endeavor to
persuade him to restore some of the
money eliminated for streets. sewers
and schools.
The budget director or one of his
assistants will make a personal in
spection of the highways Of. the city
before sending the estimates to Con-
gresS.

Insignifcnnce Of Acts. &,
A few isolated acts of violence
among 100000 men on strike are in
significant in themselves. Mr.. Rich
berg declared. They would occur
even in an army under military disci-

100000 men would have to have
courts-martial to deal with such
cases, yet the existence of the army
could not be called conspiracy be-
cause of those scattered affairs"
The monotonous reading was en-

forms of torture against some Of the

union man captured by men said to

cussed half dozen various forms of

in his shoes and forcing him to walk
before their automobile. or tying a.

finally compromised by only beating

Mentioning the sucker which
grows after the tobacco, leaves have
been gathered, he said the 18th
Amendment had gathered in all of
the saloons but a crop OF moonshin-
ers. and bootlegger suckers had
sprung up. When the Christian
breath gets abroad these suckers
will die. Instancing what prohibit
tlon has done, the speaker said that
with 1900 men on strike in Coroin,
only two were seen drunk in FIVE
months. Bootlegging and moonslin-
ing are the greatest menace to
American civilization, making un-
safe and tending to the destruction
Of the greatest law ever put on
your or any other statute books.
DR.. Hammond quoted statistics
, to prove that prohibition is a won
derful help in city law and order.

Cruelty to animals before prohibi-

hear of a purity crusade or a reviv-
al that did it? Yet some doubt pro-
hibition. 1t has cleaned unhappy
women off the streets as never be-
fore. England with saloons has a
$4,000 increase of cases of arrest
for drunkenness.
'I have been connected with

speaker. We shall never finish the

Australia is a splendid Common
