MILITIA CHIEFS
RECEIVED BY
COOLIDGE
MiIIlon-DoIIar Armory for D.
c. National Guard Is
Urged

Interest in the development of
the State militia organizations was
given a nation wide impetus today
when President Coolidge received
Maj. Gen. George C. Richard, chief
Of the Bureau Of Militia, and the
adjutant generals or practically all
of the States. This is the first
general conference held here since
the reorganization of the National
Guard was undertaken following
the disbanding of the expeditionary
forces at the close of the war.
With Washington as the center
of military activities, militia au.
thorities agree it should be pro-
vided with an armory second to
none in the country in appoint
ment. The erection of such a
building to house the local militia
organizations is being considered
by General. Lord. director Of the
budget, to whom the matter has
been submitted by President Cool
idge. Construction Of the armory
has been endorsed by Secretary Of
War Weeks. Conservative esti.
mates place the cost Of such a
building with its required equip.
ment at approximately $1,000, 900.
General Lord has been asked to
prepare an estimate of the cost
and submit It to President Coolidge.
His report may be expected at any

SENAT { IS

HOUSE
Jones Sees End Of 60-40 Re-
Iation-Fixed Appropria-
ton Probable

Compromise on the chaotic sit
uation created by the destruction
of the 60-40 District fiscal ratio
in the House leomed in the SEN
ate today. u
The only way out of the tangle,
in the view of Senator Wesley
Jones, member Of the Senate APP
preparations subcommittee. Is to
accept the House action SO far as
the new fiscal principle involved.
is concerned, and make the best
bargain possible for Washington.
Senate View Defended.
In defense of this view, Senators
point out that the District Commits
sioners have not objected to the
Federal government paying a fixed
sum as its share of the upkeep of
the District Of COLUMBIA, provided
this fixed sum was an equitable one.
1t is the opinion Of Senator Jones
that $S,000,000 is entirely too low
as the Federal share of the rev.
enues Of the city. He is inclined
| to bslieve that any fixed contribu-
ton should be considerably above
this amount.
IL became known today that a
| movement is on foot in the Senate
to hold an investigation into the
local tax situation with the plan
of fixing an equitable tax rate in
the District and having the Federal
Government supply the difference
between the revenue yield from
such a tax and the total appro-
priations given to the District. Sew
eral Senators are of the opinion
that the District would fare well
under such a working agreement
and that Congress in many in
stances would appropriate sums in
excess of the 60-40 ratio, now pro-
vided by law.
Hearing Not Set. .e.
Senator Phipps, chairman of the
District Appropriations Subco unit
tee, has not yet fixed any time for
the opening hearing upon the Dts
trict appropriation bill. He, is
strong champion Of the 60-40 plat,
and he may interpose objections to
the compromise movement Initiated
in the Senate.
1t is possible that he win be
willing to see the District bill dead
locked over the beginning of the
next fascal year rather than TO
surrender to the House on this vital
principle. $50.
There is general opinion crystal
LIKING In the Senate, however, that
the Cramton amendment ultimately
will be adopted on the basis Of a
fixed contribution by the Feder.sl
government to the District a opno-

B. & O. INCOME, SAVINGS.

BALTIMORE, May 90 (SpeciaD.-
The April statement of operations Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. just
made public, shows gross operating
revenues were s3,101, 1885 less than
in the corresponding month a year
ago. Drastic cutting of expenses,
1854 ,907.S0 having been saved on
this item. reduced net revenue from
railway operations only $1.226,21S.15.
OF the saving in expenses $1,461.-
S42.91 was in maintenance of equip
ment and $694,479.0S in transporta-
ton.
For the four month period net rail
way operating income aggregated
S9,235,302 which for this period Of
the year was, with the exception Of
1928. exceeded only slightly in one
other year in the history of the COM
pany.
That there should be the apparent
marked difference between the net
railway operating income for the
four months to April 80. 1924. when
compared with the same period Of
1928 is due to the fact that in 1929
there was an exceptional volume of
business moving under most favor
able conditions, whereas in 1924 the
Baltimore and Ohio. in common with
other carriers in the eastern district,
not only experienced a decline in
traffic but the food conditions, which
were particularly severe both in
March and April in the territory
served by the Baltimore and Ohio,
seriously interfered with the normal
flow of traffic and caused additional
expense in it's movement.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. May 29.-With further
rains west and southwest, wheat
prices averaged a little lower today
in the early dealings. A decline at
Liverpool tended also to ease values
here. On the downturns, however.
moderate buying on the part of COM
mission houses developed and helped
bring about a rally. After opening
from Il to y lower, with July
LOTS sa1.o7A to 1.07A and Septem-
ber los to 1.0Sh, the market recov-
cred to about the same as yesterdays
finish
end evening up on accounts gave
lift to the corn market. The OPEN
ing, which ranged from Il decline to
y advance, with July 76A to 76S
was followed by a material rise all
around.
Oats were firmer, sympathizing
with corn. Initial prices were un-
changed to Il off. July 441s to 44A
but then slight general gains took
place.
Provisions were quiet and without
any significant change in price.
Subsequently purchasing of Sep
tember delivery on scale orders had a
bullish effect on the wheat market
as whole.
The bullish character of the Iowa
state crop report, together with
smallness of country offerings, up
held the corn market despite tran
silent setbacks due to profit-taking.
