Jan. 16.-The legislative budget
committee in hearings now being
conducted daily before the commit
tee is especially delving into what
use has been made OF the contingent
fund allowed the various State de-
partments. There seams to be. a
sentiment among members of the
committee that a State officer living
out of Dover has not the right to
take from the contingent fund
money for his transportation TO and
from Dover. i Is said there IS no
law providing for contingent fund
to be used for this purpose.
state Treasurer Thomas S. Four
acre was the first offisial to appear
before the committee today. Be

office about two weeks ago, his dep

salary OF the Treasurer, $500 for
the deputy and 5000 for a con-
tlngent fund for each of the next
two years. making a total OF $500
a year. the same as was received the
past two years.
Chairman Collins asked Mr.. Led
enham II It was customary for the
treasurer TO take from the contin-
gent fund money for his transporta-
ton to and from Dover. He replied
that It was. State Treasurer Four
acre, however, remarked that for the
information of the committee he
would not use any OF the. contingent
fund for his transportation but would
pay his own transportation. Chair
man Collins replied he was glad &c
hear that"
State Auditor ]. NJ. Harrington and
his assistant Mr.. Hubbard were also
before the committee. Mr.. Harrlng-f

Evidently unable to obtain narcotic
drugs in any other way, thieves
broke into the store of the Spruance
Drug Company, Second and Monroe
streets, few days ago and are said
to have taken everything of that
description found in the store.
That the thieves were familiar
with drugs and that they knew the
location of the narcotics in the store
is shown by the manner in which
they worked, as we'll as the drugs
the thieves got small amount of
money from the cash drawer. The
police have the names OF several
suspects. 9
The thieves are not thought to be
drug addicts but men engaged IN
supplying narcotic drugs to the
trade in this city. One of the
men under suspicion is said to
travel in limosine with a
chauffeur. He is said to have
visited the ''Bloodheld district"
shortly after the store robbery and
called at various houses in that dis
trict, posing as physician. He car
ried with him a small medicine chest
and was not suspected at the time
by those who saw him, but later de-
that this man IS a wholesale dealer
in the narcotic drugs and that por-
ton OF his stock dispensed in

1t Of adequate auxiliary sea equip
ment in event of war. That such
provision should be made follows
as matter Of economy. interest and
patriotic craftsmanship.
Having reached this point, logic
presses Congress to enact the best
legislation that can be devised to
meet maritime needs. In the alb
sence Of other plans for meeting
such needs, the administration plan
must stand approved as the best
before the nation. The failure OF its
opponents to offer any substitute is
sufficient proof of the superiority Of
the method OF aid urged by the ex-
ecutive.
Something must be done to aid
American shipping, II II is to meet
the requirements of the nation,
commercially and militarily. and. as
nothing better or as good has been
offered, It is an unacceptable con-
clusion that Congress should enact
the pending measure into law. This
places the burden of fulfillment on
the majority. It has the power to
put through the measure and 1t can
not fail TO do so without mourning
responsibility for the consequences.
While delay in the past has been

action on the shipping bill is time
~ and will be received as encour-
aging news by those who expect
Congressional action on the mer-
chant marine problem to measure
up TO national need. The two
Houses were called in extra session
by the President to further legisla-
ton dealing with the maritime
needs of America. Shipping con-
ditlons that now prevail speak for
themselves, and in so doing become
convincing evidence in support Of
the Administrators contention that
the establishment and maintenance
OF American shipping commensur-
ate with the demands of the exist
ing situation calls for legislative aid
along the lines OF the plan that It
Is urging on Congress.
While II Is the duty OF Congress

opportunity to state their conten-
IONS and advance their arguments
so that all measures may have fair

prevent the blocking OF legislation

tons that amount to the same
thing. The time for action was
short from the beginning OF the
present Esssion, and there is now no
time to spare. A glance at the cal
endar Is enough to convince the
most indifferent member OF the ma
