ENJO|NS BUREAUS
TO LOWER EXPENSE

The Harding administration has no
intention of letting up in its aim to
enforce economy in the opera ton of
the government. This was made clear
at the White House following the
cabinet session yesterday, when it was
decided to make an appeal to bureau
and division chiefs to continue keep
ing down expenses. even though there
may he available appropriations on
hand which art unspent with the end
uf the fiscal year, June 80.
The administration is aware that
since the beginning of the govern
ment there has been general prac-
tics on the part of governmental Off
cials to take stock of available funds
at this time of the year and to lose
10 time in spending the moneys be-
fore the expiration of the fiscal year.
Unexpended balances Discussed.
One White House spokesman, in
discussing this matter yesterday, said
that many officers of the government
look upon il as crime to turn un-
expended appropriations back to the
Treasury. Such funds, if not spent
before June 80, are lost forever. is
said to be the belief of many of these
officers.
AS result of the cabinet discus
sion yesterday these departmental
officers are to he impressed with the
necessity for keeping down expenses
and to stop the practice of reckless
spending of funds at the close of the
fiscal year

FINED $3.50 ON ~
TRAFFIC CHARGES
Williams Pays Heavily After
Leading Police Chase for
Three Days.

A new record was established in
the Traffic Court yesterday. wherein
defendant was charged and convicted
of violating twelve distinct traffic
laws and regulations and was fined
d total of $3.50.
The defendant. Alfonso Williams.
colored, had previously put up s27a
collateral. He operated a small two
seated runabout and gave the police
of the city a wild chase for three
days before he was caught.
He was convicted of five separate
charges of violating the speed regu-
lationS, and in each case Judge Me
Mahon fined him $50, or a total for
that offense of $3.50. He was con-
victed of failure TO obey the signal of
a police officer to stop in three in
stances. and in each of those cases he
was fined $40. or total of $50. Two
convictions We're scored against him
for operating his car with an open
muffler. In both cases he was fined
$40, or 500 total. He was fined $40
for operating his car with dead
license tags and another $40 for
operating his car without the required
operator s permit.
Several days ago Bicycle Policemen
c. r. Bremmerman and G. n Poole
of the second precinct attempted to
stop Williams operating his car at
a high rate of speed. They chased
him. but he got away. The next day
they came across Williams and an
other chase followed with Williams
getting away again. The third day
a general lookout was sent to all
the police of the city, with the re-
suit tnau Williams was captured. The
chases took in all parts of the city.
Judge Mcmahon i'll passing sentence
said that Williams appeared to have
no respect for law and order or the
safety of life and property. and less
respect for the police officers sworn
to enforce the traffic laws. Williams
attempted to prove an alibi. but failed
to convince the court that il was not
he that was operating the fast-hying
and elusive automobile.
