WILL ASK FOR FUND
TO START HOSPITAL
Commissioners to Include
Item of About $3.50, 600 for
Contagious Project.
HOLD NEED IS PRESSING
Cannot See Way to Include Entire
$70D.0OD Needed in Present
Estimates.

The District Commissioners have
for next year a part of the sum re-
Quested by the health department for
erection of a contagious disease
building at Gallinger Hospital, it was
reliably reported today.
The health office suggested about
100000.
Upon careful consideration the Com
missioners are said to have concluded
that the proposed hospital is needed
urgently and they will ask for some
thing more than s250,000 to start the
project next year.
River Front Renovation.
1t also was reported today that they
will ask for small fund with which
to have a definite plan prepared for
the long contemplated renovation
OF the Washington Channel river
front
This estimate would be used merely
to have outlined a general method
to be carried out in future years as
appropriations could be obtained.
The Commissioners for some time
have regarded the appearance of the
city side of the channel as out of
harmony with Potomac Park on the
opposite side, but there has been such
demand for more urgent appropri-
atoms that the rebuilding of the
water front has had TO be sidetrack ed
District officials feel that the first
step should be to have some one
skilled in waterfront planning map

Improvement the mmissioners have
felt that some provision would have
to be made for waterway commerce

Chain Bridge Item.
1t is understood the city heads gave
some thought to a request for funds
to replace the old Chain bridge across
the upper Potomac. but the item is
sal id to have been one of those strick-
en- out in reducing the estimates to
the limitation of s35,500,000 agreed
upon.
The preliminary figures making up
the above total for the fiscal year
1925-26 will be transmitted to the
Budget Bureau late today or tomor
row. 1t probably will be two weeks
before the Commissioners are ad-
viSed as to whether further cuts will
have to be made.
The purpose in asking for funds to
erect a municipal hospital for conta-
gfous cases is to eliminate the neceS
sity for making contracts with Car
field and Providence hospitals to ham
die these patients for the health de-
partment.
Both these institutions have ad-
vised the health department that
they cannot afford to continue pro-
viding this contagious disease servic,
at the prices heretofore paid by th'
Commissioners. The Commissioners,
In turn. are limited in the amounts
they can pay by congressional ap-
propriations. ~
While neither hospital has yet
made a contract for the current tls
cal year, officials are hopeful that
satisfactory understanding will be
reached. In the case of Garfield,
Health Officer Fowler is waiting for
certain members of the hospital hoard
to return to the city. In answer to

BERLIN PERMITS FLOUR
AND GRAIN SALES ABROAD
Embargo Lifted to Relieve Farmers
Unable to Sell Products
at Home.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 15.-Ihe embargo on
German grain -four and grain prod
ucts has been removed by decree
of the ministry OF agriculture, which,
however. promises to curb the ex-
port Of these products if ut assumes
alarming proportions"
The government justifies its action
by pointing out the difficult situation
of farmers who are unable to DISPOSE
of their products at home.
The Vorwaerts attacks the govern
ment's measure as comm unistie and
as copied after Russia and asserts
that IT will result in raising the price
of home grown grain now under
world market prices to world prices.
This, the newspaper says. will work
grave hardship to tho German

BANDITS ROB SHIP MAIL.
Robbers on Belgenland Open 356
Registered Letters to Germany.

HAMBURG, Germany. July 15.-
Three hundred and fifty-six registered
letters destined for Germany were
opened on board the steamer Belges-
land by robbers, who for some time
have made the tranSatl tlantic mails,
especially letters destined for Ger
many and Austria, unsafe. OF the
Belgenlands consignment of regis
and 32S had their contents filched.
Investigation has shown that the
mail robbers have many helpers
among members of the ships crews.
During recent months even unreg-
istered letters destined for Germany
and Austria ~have often been opened
apparently in the belief that dollars
have been enclosed for the benefit of
suffering relatives in central Europe.

Belief in immortality gives the

Times Writer Scores Pepper
as Rip Van Wrinkle
Senator.
Bv WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

~ ASHINGTON. April 10.-Simul-
Wl taneously with the publication
of the Dawes report on Ger
man reparations, one of our senatorial
Rip Van Wrinkles woke up long
enough to opine the time has now
come for the United States to take a
hand in international affairs.
This time it was Senator Old Guard
Rip Van Wrinkle Pepper OF Pennsyl-
vania. who introduced a resolution
inviting President Coolidge in effect to
request all the nations to resign from
the League of Nations and the World
Court and meet with US in Brussels
to discuss some new world peace plan
which will not conflict with G.. o. p.
stump speeches in 1920.
Apparently Senator Peppers sleep
began back in 1899, about the time
the Hague Peace Conference, for he
refers to that fiasco as a good idea
for the world to rally to now.
Present One Won't Do
Senator Pepper agrees we ought to
have a world court. But the present
one won't do. 1t is under the League
of Nations, he says. apparently I'M
aware the League of Nations happens,
at the same time, to be the whole
world, excepting Afghanistan, Russia,
Germany, Mexico and the United
States. Any new world court would
necessarily have to be under pre-
cisely the same nations, since there
are no others.

it up, and John Bassett Moore of New
