CITY OFFICIALS TAKE
UP 1926 PROJECTS
Board of Charities and Engineer
Department Consider Next
Years Estimates.

Although the ink is hardly dry on
the District appropriation act for the
fiscal year beginning July /, many
branches of the municipal govern
ment already have begun to figure UP
what they will need for the fiscal
year 1926.
The Commissioners have not sent
out the formal order for the prepar-
alton of estimates. but some or the
agencies are getting their expense
accounts in preliminary shape.
The board of charities, which pre-
pares the budget Of expense for the
jail, werkhouse and various cnarl-
table institutions, met this mormnS 2
for q tentative discussion or next
years estimates.
Mai J. Franklin Bell. engineer
Commissioner. held a conference this
week with his department heads, at
which the program of work for the
coming twelve months was gone over
and the preparation of new estimates
discussed.
The city heads probably will wait
fer some word from the budget bu-
reau before issuing formal notice
to department heads for the submfs-
sion OF estimates.

Keen Interest Aroused by Prospects
of Ishii as Envoy.

Toxic dispatches indicating the prob
able selection of ViScount kihuhiro
Ishii as ambassador to the United
States were received with keen inter
est in official quarters here today. but
comment was withheld pending re-
ceipt of formal notification of the
change.
viscount Ishii. it was said. is well
known in the United States, both for
his wide experience in the diplomatic
field and his great knowledge of
American-Japanese relations. In the
negotiation of the Lansing Ishii
agreement relating to China he was
in the public eye for many months.
He has an especial knowledge of i'm
migration questions which have arisen
between the two countries.
withheld comment for the time being.
1t has been indicated, however, that
Ambassador Hanihara would retire
after completion of his work in con-
nection with exchanges between the
United States and japan on the i'm
migration question.
Toxic advices have said that Am
bassador Hanihara would be given a
lead, but in diplomatic circles 1t has
been taken for granted that passage
of the immigration bill with its ex-
clusion provision made it certain that
he would leave the post permanently.
The question Of an American ambas-
sador to succeed Cyrus +. Woods at
Toxic still is pending before the state
Department. Minister Schurman at
PekinS has been mentioned in con-
nection with the post, but no ofncial
confirmation has ever come from the
department as to whether he hao
been chosen.

REMOVAL OF FRENCH
FROM SARRE ASKED
Germans Protest to League, Fear.
ing Effect on Plehiscite at End
of Fifteen Years.
Ey fhe Associated Press.


GENEVA. June 11.-Germany has
Protested to the league of nations
against the presence of French
troops in the Sarre Valley. the Ger
man coal region, in which France
was given by the treaty Of Versailles,
the exclusive rights Of coal mine ex-
ploitation for fifteen years.
Sir Eric Drummond, general secre-
cry OF the league, laid the German
note embodying this protest before
the council of the league at the open
ing session Of that body today.
* Fears Effect on Vote.
Germany complains that the con-
tinued presence of the French forces
will exercise an unfortunate moral
Influence upon the plebiscite which
will decide the future of the Sarre
territory at the end of the fifteen
year period. The district now is un-
der league of nations administration
whether there shall be maintenance
OF the rule set up by Versailles
treaty, union with France or union
With Germany.
tIhe FTench had argued, the Berlin
nDte says, that it was the duty of the
FTench troops to protect the coal
mines as the property of France, but
this, in the German view, is viola
tfGn of the treaty of Versailles.
FHrthermore, if the French govern
nient is permitted to protect the
French mines with French troops,
Germany is equally entitled to claim,
she argues, that the property of the
German reich and of the German
state to which the Sarre basin be-
longs-namely the railways, forests
and administrative buildings-should
be protected by German troops
II Want Occupation Ended.
tGermany requests that the French
orcupa ton be brought to an end,
and that local gendarmerie be con-
ssituted to take the place of the
French forces on police duty. The
NOTE asks the council to fix at once
the date for the withdrawal of the
French troops
1.-THE council today postponed con-
sideration of the note until the
Ikugult session, but it adopted a
RESOLUTION expressing satisfaction
With the Sarre governing commission
fnr having increased the gendarmerie
according to the wishes Of the coun-
Gil.
Measures were adopted by the
council for dealing with the famine
conditions in Albania and to assist
in the fight against the international
traffic in women and children.

SHIP BOARD VETOES
GULF TRADE MERGER
Rejects Fleet Corporation Heads
Plan, Holding It Would Hurt
q. S. Shipping.

The cooperative spirit which was
promised at the time the functions OF
the Shipping Board and Fleet Corpo-
ed enforcement resolution has re-
ceived another jolt. it was indicated
today. after the board had turned
down the recommendations of Presi-
dent Palmer for consolidating the
governments gulf trade routes. .
Mr. Palmer took over the job OF
merging the cargo services at the
time the separation was effected, and
felt for the first time the effect of the
boards veto power when his plan to
amalgamate the North Atlantic
United Kingdom routes were reject
ed, because the Fleet Corporation
head recommended the withdrawal OF
eleven ships from the trade.
The board now has sent back to
Mr.. Palmer his recomm endations for
merging the gulf services, which are
operated by nine managing agents, to
Europe, the far east and South Amer
ica. The plan calls for a reduction in
tonnage from 104 to s5 vessels. and
the curtailment in the number OF
operators from nine to I seven, by
eliminating Page and Jones of Mobile
Ala, and combining Trosdal, Plant
and LaFonta and S. Scitcovich
Co. into one line operating out
of New Orleans. Approximately 81
800, 600 year would be saved by the
arrangements.
Seek Gulf Trade.
The board. in passing on the rec
concentrations, held that a greater
saving could be effected by rurther
reducing the number of operators
rather than the number of ships and
the retained agents allocated addi.
tional tonnage, thereby reducing
overhead costs. To curtail the num-
Der of vessels, the board believes
would actually result in some of the
Gulf trades falling into foreign
hands. 1t called attention to. the
United Kingdom consolidation, under
which the original five operators
were reduced to two, and expressed
a belief that a further reduction in
the operators in the Gulf trade could
be brought about without seriously
affecting the cargo business and
trade names already established.
Although disputing the contention
that more operators can be dropped
in the Gulf merger on the ground
that the routes carry, with the ex-
ception of two operating to South
America, in different directions all
over the world and probably would
result in top-heavy berths MI
Palmer will call another meeting OF
his consolidation committee in an
effort to arrive at a plan which will
be more in line with the boards
wishes.

3,39S such injunctidns have been in
