DISTRICT PREPARES
FOR CUT IN BUDGET
Commissioners May Learn
This Week Financial Out
look for Next Year.

The District Commissioners NAV
learn from the Budget Bureau this
week to what extent, if any, the ten
tative estimates for next year will have
to be cut.
The tentative figures of the Commits
sioners for next year aggregate S36, 500
900. Although no definite information
has been forthcoming, it is believed
likely that total may have to be
reduced
If the budget officials do find it
necessary to order curtailment Of
the original estimates, there will still
remain the possibility of the Commits
sioners being allowed to submit a list
of supplemental items, as was done a
year ago.
Last summer the city heads pre-
pared d preliminary budget of some
thing more than s32, 1000, 900 This had
to be trimmed to between s25 900, 900
and s26, 900, 900, but the Budget Bureau
granted the city heads permission to
submit supplemental requests amount
ing to s7,o00,Oo0. Some of these supple
mental items were finally inserted in the
estimates before they were transmitted
to Congress.
AS soon as the District officials re-
ceive word from the Budget Bureau as
to the amount they will be allowed to
ask, they will begin a restudy of their
original figures.

When various types of planes were
being considered for the proposed non
stop transcontinental flight, more than
a year ago. friends of Douglas urged
that his torpedo plane be selected in
preference to the transport plane de-
signed by Fokker, the brilliant Neither
lands aeronautic engineer. The fact
that Douglas was under contract to the
Naval Bureau of Aeronautics, while the
transcontinental flight was under the
auspices of the Army Air Service, may
have been a factor in the selection of
the foreign machine.
Won in Competition.
At any rate, when the Army desired
the best plane available for the world
flight it considered all types and makes
There was really no competition. The
Douglas world cruiser was the unani-

fact, the Douglas torpedo plane of the
Navy with interchangeable landing
gear, wheels or pontoons, and other re-
finements

Titled the American machine. They

congestion in the shopping district
by taking the cars off the Street. A
st. Louis firm has written to me that
its shopping garage has not only at
tracted patronage and afforded ac-
commodation for its patrons, but that
the fees for parking and looking after
the cars of others than their custo-
mers pay all expense of the service
rendered to their store patrons. and
in addition the night parking of busi-
ness vehicles and theater patrons
brings in tidy income.
Ideal Parking Garage.
The ideal parking garage is so ar
ranged that a steady stream of autos
may enter and pass up inclined planes
on an easy rise of half a story at a
time, and even to the roof. Certain
precautions are taken to prevent COL
lisions, and in ascending or descend
ing the driver can see the floor level
above and below him.
On account of the uses of these
buildings and the type of construction
and finish, there is no other kind of
building which will afford as much
income and at the same time help so
much to relieve the congestion in the
downtown section of the city. The

NATIONAL HOPES

Aubert of Paris, at Williams

is profoundly convinced
that Europe is too close to a century
reconstructed now on a principle
which would take account of eco
nomic phenomena at the expense OF
national aspiration, national security
and democratic IDEALS" declared
Louis Aubert, political editor of the
Revue d'Paris, at the Institute of
Politics tonight.
The spokesman Of the French dele
cation in his lecture warmly defend
ed the treaty of Versailles and
Frances subsequent position. He as
sailed the common view which holds
his country responsible for every ap-
pearance Of resistance to Innovation
as if Europe were a theater or
of which France holds
all the strings"
Repeating that no plan for Eu-
ropes reconstruction could be rested
on the sole basis Of economic neces-
sity, NJ. Aubert stated that prosper
tty is returning to Europe and that
its people have recovered their peace
of mind and settled down to work
because national aspirations nave
been satisfied. According to the t1g-
ures, he added. unemployment is on
the decline and the excess OF exports
over imports has increased. In
France during the first four months
of 1924, he said, this excess reached

At the open conference on dis

miral w. l. Rodgers attacked the
American draft of the treaty OF dis
armament and security which has
just been outlined by one OF its au-
thors, Prof. J. T. Shotwell OF Column
bia University, on the ground that
it Is based on an assumption that all
the peoples of the world are ami
mated by the same adherence or war
as DR.. Shotwel.

miral, that the United States will
desire war before her population
reaches 2o0.oO0.OoO, but after that,
if there remains any manhood in our
race of mixed descendants, they will
assuredly do so to keep their place

concern him only slightly and he is

LIQUOR PLANT SMASHED

Constables and prohibition agents

through the rain on the rock head

from the bridge to note the slightest

after riding out most of the storm.

Lieut.. A. H. Thiessen, Army
weather expert, is sending daily re-
ports to the cruiser Milwaukee, and
the weather certainly can be pre-
dicted for the eight hours required
for the flight from Ivigtut to Indian

can hardly miss the ice tickler at

landmark from the air and visible

PATTEN, CLARK win
Mayor Wilson Says He Has
I Won, When He Goes Home
to Bed at 3 o'clock

Mayor William c. Wilson, claiming
victory in his contest for reelection
with former Alderman Albert G.. Wa
ters, announced at 2:30 o'clock this
morning that he was satisfied that
he had been elected and was going
home to bed" At that time COM
plete returns had been received from
but five districts in this city, these
giving Wilson $50 votes and Waters
789, a lead of 81. There were eigh-
teen polls still to be heard from and
it was difficult to prophesy what eff
feet upon the standing of these candi-
dates these results would have.
Mr.. Waters, when communicated
with at his home at $3.50 o'clock this
morning was not willing to either
concede the election of Mayor Will
son Or to claim victory for himself.
He pointed out that only about one
half of the vote had been counted
up until 2:30 o'clock and he had de-
cided to go to bed and wait for the
final returns about 6 or z o'clock in
the morning.
The election of Alderman Thomas
Patten, in the third, and Joseph
Hornsby. in the firsr. was assured at
! the hour of going to press and in
dications were that Alderman John
j. Clark was a winner in the fifth
ward where Michael Trygar was
giving him a warm battle. The
count had not been completed in the
fifth ward when the extra went to
press.
Recorder Pickersgill was leading
Eugene Mullen for recorder by 200
votes at 3:30 o'clock this morning.
County Clerk Bernard M. Cannon
was 1873 ahead of County Treasurer
f. William Hilker in the county
clerk race with five polls complete
in this city.
The 1926 Board of Aldermen will
be identical with that now in power
as far as the political makeup of
the board is concerned and only one
change in the personnel will be not
ed. This change will be in the first
ward representative, John E. So
field. the retiring alderman who is
the only Republican on the council,
being succeeded by Joseph E. Horns
by, another Republican.
Alderman Thomas Patten easily
defeated his Republican opponent,
Maurice Cohen in the third ward
and Alderman John j. Calrk, after
hard fight, came out victorious by
a small but safe margin over Mi
chael Trygar. Republican. William
Olsen. the Democratic aldermanic
candidate in the first ward was the
only Democratic candidate for that
position to meet defeat.
Recorder Pickersgill's reelection
was never in doubt. his Democratic
opponent Eugene Mullen at no time
polling sufficient votes to threaten
the present Republican incumbent.
