Word that the colonel, who is so
years of age, was gaining ground
with surprising rapidity was con-

physicians had been in consultation.
They were DR.. James F. Coupal, the
Presidents personal physician; DR..
A. M. Cram of Bridgewater and DR..
Charles Swift of Rutland. Earlier in
the day DIR. A. L. Chute of Boston,
who yesterday performed the opera

CUT IN RUM FORCE
GUSTS 100 AGENTS
400 Here to Be Dropped as
Order for Nationwide Re-
duction Goes Out.

A sweeping reduction in the mobile
prohibition agents forces and the
dropping of 400 persons from the
Washington prohibition headquarters
personnel is planned under the newly
ordered decentralization program of
the Treas asury Department.
The field enforcement. which will be
under % administrators throughout
the country, will employ 200 general
agents, instead of the 900 now on the
rolls.
Whether the 200 men will be select
ed from the present force or made up
entirely of new men has not been de-
cided, although the more efficient of
those now employed will be absorbed
into the new mobile staff These men
will operate out of the administrator
headquarters as investigators on big
cases and E. c. Yellowley, chief of
general agents, probably will super
wise their operations from Washing
ton.
State Forces To, Be Cut.
How the reorga nization will affect
the 1000 prohibition agents now op-
Grating under State directors is yet
to develop. but inasmuch as they have
been handling small cases which
officials expect now to leave largely to
state and local enforcement agencies,
it is believed this staff also will be
materially reduced.
The cut of approximately two-thirds
in the Washington force will be felt
most severely in the three important
divisions-law, permit and industrial
alcohol-where some section heads, as
we'll as clerks and other employees, are
to be dropped. The work of these
divisions after August l will be ad-
ministered by the new zone chiefs.
Few of the central Office employees
are expected to be transferred to the

priority for such positions will be

ployes to be dropped in the abolish

no damage was reported. The shocks
extended as far north as Bakersfield.
Santa Barbara's hotels usually are
not crowded this time OF the year, as
Winter is the big season, yet there is
a brisk influx of tourists the year

Judge Gus A Schuldt, presiding mag

Chief Justice Walter I. Mccoy of the
District Supreme Court. stating that
jury trials in the Supreme Court
Building, commencing July 8.
These rooms, Circuit Court No. /

with respective rooms for judges are
open for use until September l, when
1t is believed the dockets will be so

that the regular routine business of

of the opinion today that demands for
jury trials after a few weeks will be
met inside of two or three days, in
stead of the slow procedure necessi'

At the same time Judge Schuldt re-

S62,OOO,OlO SPENT
FOR BUILDING HERE
Construction Activities Dur
ing Fiscal Year Break
All Records.

AS the fiscal year closes tomorrow
the Nations Capital will have estab-
lshed the greatest building boom in
its history surprising all its previous
records and placing Washington ahead
of many of the largest cities in the
United States in regard TO growth.
With two more days to go. the rec
ords of the building inspector show
that the huge sum of S62,000,000 was
spent during this fiscal year for new
construction, surprising the record
year 1928 by almost s4.5OO 900 and
last year by more than So, ,5OO.0 900.
While the local authorities expected
big business in the construction field
here this year, the big increase and
the unprecedented boom here have
drawn the attention of the entire coun-
try TO Washington. This calendar
year. although only six months ad-
Vanced. is already more than three
quarters the total of last year and
two-thirds the total of the record fis-
cal year in 1923.
May Reach $4,000, 900
Col. John ". Oehma mn. the building
inspector, places $4,000, 900 as CON
servative estimate for new building
during the present calender year. The
rapid growth of the National Capital
can be readily shown when it is real
lied that this fiscal year shows a total
nearly five times that of 1904. when
construction amounted to $13,960 SOS.
With two days TO go, the exact total
for this year is S61 ,960,66S. Last year
it was $40 .403. .207. and the previous
record year of 1928 showed a total of
S57.S3S,63S.
Housing facilities for more than
10000 people have been built besides
great business developments. During
this last fiscal year approximately
4,200 houses and 1l9 apartment houses
have been built. In 1904 only 1144
houses were built and ~ small apart
ment houses. In every field of build
ing Washington has leaped ahead of
other cities. With a total last month
of more than $1,000, 900 the National
Capital ranked sixth among all the
cities of the country and this month
with a total of more than $4,000. 900
it is expected that the National Cap
ital will step further up the list.
Inspection Force Increased.
So great has the volume of building
been that the building inspector has
been forced to ask for eight additional
men in his department. This means
four more field inspectors and eight
more clerks. The present force of ten
inspectors are now forced to make
from 10 to 16 inspections a day.
The growth of Washington is well
indicated in the following table show
ing building here in various years
since 1904. In the 1904 total S.. .0O0, 900
is included for the Union Station.
