The commits sion under its existing rules has no ppropriation but an amendment to the charter is to be submitted to the legislature which will provide a budget. In anticipation of favorable action, the commission will prepare a list of estimated expenses to be submitted to the board of finance and taxation.
 If the charter amendments are not reached in the general assembly be- fore March, the board of finance and taxation will find itself in a quandary since 1t cannot be definite ly known just what the tax rate will be. If the budget is included and does not pass the assembly the tax rate will be higher than is necessary to meet the expenses of the city.

London, Jan. 27.--The electric lighting, heating and other engineer ing services at Buckingham palace. the houses of parliament, Hampton Court and Kew Gardens are being run by volunteers today owing to the strike of the engineering staff of the office of works because of the employment of non-union man in the eastern division.
 Early today 220 men struck and 1t was expected 900 in all would be involved later. Volunteers, always nearby in cases in emergency, were called on to do duty and will keep the electricity going in the royal apartments, but with King George and Queen Mary still at Sandring- ham their majesties are not likely to be affected by the discontent of their subjects unless the strike is extended.
 The heating furnaces in the houses of parliament will be closed down this afternoon.

Publisher Accused Of Using
 > Mails to Deiraud

New York, Jan. 27.--The curtain rises today in the federal court on another act of tho case of Broad way Brevities, in which stage stars and other notables of the roaring forties have described how they paid for advertisements in the magazine to present further unfavorable mem ton in the publication.
 stephen G. Glow, publisher of the Brevities, and three of his advertis- ing solicitors are on trial on charges of using the malls to defraud.
 Peggy Joyce one of the witnesses, testified at yesterdays session of the trial that she paid $2O0 for the re- production of her picture in the sheet with the express understanding that Glow would discontinue de- rogatory comments about her. Counsel for the defense. in cross- examining Miss Joyce. read an item from Brevities headed "Peggy's An nual donation" containing caustic reference to the size of the tips she was said to have given stage hands and other employees at the theater where she was appearing.
 Money flows like glue from Peggy, the way it does from Harry Lauder and Ed Wynne," the article said. Miss Joyce .reddened during its reading and when it was finished she jumped to her feet.
 T consider that the greatest in suit have ever had" she said. And they put that in, too, after had given them s20O not to do such things"
 Under cross ss-examination, Miss Joyce admitted that she once at tended a theater performance with Glow and that he had visited her at her home. She denied that she had ever received from Glow & tele- gram with reference to Hove and kisses" The federal prosecutor read to the jury a later item in the publication describing Miss Joyce as "beautiful, sweet and charming"
 Tex Rickard, sporting promoter. testified to giving two checks of s125 each to advertising solicitors of the publication to stop the appearance of nasty" things about him. and that after payment of the checks there appeared an article headed "Rickard the Great" in which he was praised as man who "enriches charities"

Roll was found al- most unconscious by members of the harbor police, who searched the is- land after finding skin drawn up on the shore.
 Roll, 0 member of the crew of Q dredger anchored in the harbor. was blown ashore on the island in the gale of last Thursday night while trying to reach his vessel. The gale which continued through Friday and Saturday prevented his return. Sig nals of distress went unnoticed by harbor craft. Police notified of his absence Sunday, searched the harbor without result until discovery of the skiff led to his rescue. Hospital au- thorities say that a magnificent con- stitution and good physical condition previous to his experience will en- able him to recover.
