For the pay of school officers,

of Sc additional teachers, including "A

PASSENGER-cARRYINC MOTOR
VEHICLES.

1T will be recalled that in former
years the appropriation acts for the
District have had running all through
them provisions for the purchase,
maintenance. operation and exchange
of motor propelled, passenger carry
ing vehicles and for allowances to
officers and employees for providing
for official purposes their own private
cars. The current appropriation act
required that the estimates for the
fiscal year 1926 for such purposes
should be consolidated and that has
been done. The appropriations are
proposed in the consolidated form
submitted in the budget and every
one now readily can see just what is
being expended for such purposes
The details of the appropriations are
set out in the budget. The commit
tee has made the language of the
appropriations more specific and has
transferred to, the Paragraph relating
to purchase, exchange and main
tenance two or three items carried
elsewhere in the budget through in
advertence.

POLICE FORCE.

In consideration of the require
ments Of the Police Department the
committee chiefly was concerned with
finding, If practicable, a solution of
the unsatisfactory situation here
touching the direction and control of
traffic and with finding a more effec-
tive means to curb these reckless
driver. Additional policemen alone
will not supply the remedy. Much
of the traffic difficulty grows out of
the lack of proper direction of traffic,
which can be remedied by regulation
and more policemen. Some of 1t is
due, however, to the narrowness of
certain thoroughfares in congested
areas, from which relief must await
provision for widening them.
ITO reach the traffic offender of the
reckless type, beyond providing for
additional policemen, involves action
without the jurisdiction of this COM
mittee. This type of offender goes
into court and demands a jury trial.

CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS

There are but two items that stand
out prominently in a comparison of
the budget estimates and the bill
with the current appropriations for
the many activities or agencies fall
ing under this general heading. The
first relates to the new District
Training School (Home and School
for Feeble M;nded). for which an ad-
ditional appropriation of $4,000 has
been requested and is proposed (S1,-

ond is on account of the INDECENT in
sane of the District OF Columbia, who
are accommodated in St. Elizabeth S
Hospital, for which object an addi-
tional appropriation of $4,000 has
been recommended and is proposed.
It is highly probable that as to the
latter item the budget has not recon-
mended an adequate amount.
For the District Training School
the appropriation proposed would
make available the remainder of the

DR.. Frank Johnson Goodnow, pres

some of those associated with him in
the management of that famous insti-
tuition of learning and research, are
laying plans that, as he expresses It,
will make Johns Hopkins solely uni
versity rather than a combination of
college and university. This means
that the first two years Of college
course would be abandoned and the
efforts Of the institution would be
concentrated on graduate work. Doc
tor GoOdnow is convinced that there
is room in the United States for at
least one such university. The bach

diplomatic service in 1891, being given
a position in the Italian consulate in
Berne, Switzerland. Five years later
he was advanced to the place of first
secretary of the ministry to Egypt,

CEN. MILES DIES
WHILE AT CIRCUS
Veteran of Three Wars
Falls Dead During Show

Washington.-Li Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, retired, famous American SOL
der. dropped dead Of heart disease
here.
Death occurred while General Miles
was attending circus performance,
at which Mrs Coolidge also was pres
ent.
His old foes, the Indians, were just
entering the arena as he was stricken.
The general had apparently been
in the best of health. He was eighty
six years old
The old Indian fighter was sitting
on the third row of the circus stands
when he tainted, falling into the arms
of DR.. Arthur w. Craig, who was inn
mediately behind him. Doctor Craig
and others removed him to a position
under the seats and then to a point
outside the tents, where he died.
The general was accompanied by
Mrs. w. B. Noble, mother of his daugh-
ter-in-law, and several Of his grand
children. The opening of the pageant
of the circus had just begun when he
collapsed.
The body was removed to the Cas-
ualty hospital. where Acting Coroner
