BRUSSELS, August II CP.-Anger
and bitterness continue to mark the
comments of the Belgian press on the
conference at Washington between the
American war debt commission and
the Belgian mission.
The optimistic tone of semi-official
statements made in Brussels before
the conference, which encouraged the
hope that favorable conditions would
be made for the payment of Belgium's
debt to the United States, is resented
as having misled public opinion. The
Nation Beige says that promises have
been broken, and that Prez lent VIII

on the suggestion of French news
papers that Belgium and France form
a united front for the solution of their
war debt problems, says that every
thing must be tried to prevent Bel

guardianship, as is threatened by the
debt terms offered by the United

S3,O(O,ODD SLASHED
FROM ESTIMATES
All Items Cut From D. C. Fig-
ureS to Go Back as
SuppIementaIs.

In carrying out the order of Budg-
ct Director Lord to cut more than
SO 100000 from their tentative esti-
mates for next year. the Commits
sioners, ii is understood decided to-
day to ask in the form of supplement-
ais for nearly all of the propjects
eliminated.
The city heads went into confer
ence early this morning with Daniel
j. Donovan District auditor. and
when they adjourned at noon they
had practically completed the task of
bringing the regular estimates down
rom S39, 9,SG6 To the figure set by
the Budget Bureau of S36 $50, 900.
Some Items Dropped.
While few items were dropped
entirely. it was reported that most
of the big projects taken from the
regular estimates were at the same
time placed in the list of supplement
tal estimates to be sent back to the
Budget Bureau This would indicate
that the supplementals will. total close
to SO coo 900.
Although the list of items making
up the second installment of the five.
year school building program had to
be cut deeply. it was learned that all
of the school building items stricken
from the regular budget will be re-
submitted as supplemental items.
The total amount for school buildings
and grounds in the tentative esti-
mates, it is believed. was in the
vicinity of S4,000.000. To what extent
this figure was reduced in the cutting
progress today was. not revealed. but
Will make strong efforts to have these
stricken school items allowed by the
Budget Bureau when hearings are
held on the supplemental items late in
September.
Spread to All Classes.
1t also was learned that the Com
missloners made every effort to
spread the reduction of $4,000, 900 over
as many classes of work as possible
1t was not possible. however, for them
to go into any of the small details of
the various departments because
these routine items were kept down
to what the Commissioners regarded
as rock-bottom figures in the tentative
estimates.
This means that practically every
item eliminated was for some new mu-
nicipal development, such as erection
of buildings and purchase of grounds.
1t is believed the Commissioners are
retaining some money for additional
construction work at Gallinger Mu-
nicipal Hospital, although it may be
less than. was included in the tenta-
tive estimates.
There were reports today that the
Chain Bridge was one of the items of
new work that went over to the sup.

May Check Cuts.
Although the Commissioners decided
in general way this morning how
the reduction would be distributed
they may hold one or two more ses.
sions TO check up on the eliminations
agreed to tentatively today
1t is understood that a few urgent
items that came to the attention OF
the Commissioners after the tentative
estimates were completed were placed
on the list of supplemental items
which Gen. Lord gave them the privf
lege of preparing when he ordered the
origial budget reduced.

Famous Yellowstone Geyser
 Slightly Slows Up Activity

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL Park, July 2S. (P)-Even Old Faithful, sup posed to be the most constant, and certainly the most celebrated gey- ser in the world, is undergoing chang es. This year Old Faithful is erUpt- ing every 67 minutes and his out bursts last for about five minutes. In the memory of living scientists this geyser became active every 50 minutes, and there is much specula- ton as to changes beneath the earth surface which are slowing down this old wonder.
 Many geysers in the basin of the Fire Hole River, the greatest geyser area in the world, have ceased shoot ing entirely within the last 50 years, while others which were formerly in active are again shooting. Old Faith full still sends steam and water into the air to a height of 150 to 200 feet and is surrounded day and night by throngs of tourists awaiting his out bursts.

Mr.. McDavitt said, due to the fact that

which is larger than that last year, and
he estimated the yield as practically the

for this.

JURY INDICTS
Sen. WHEELER
IN WASHINGTON
Two Companions are In
cluded in Charges of
Conspiracy in Connec-
ton With Oil Permits
(By The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, March 81
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana, Gordon Campbell and
Edwin S. Booth, were indicted
here today by a federal grand
jury on conspiracy charges.
Mr.. Campbell is an oil land
operator in Montana. Mr.. Booth
is a former solicitor of the in
terror department.
The indictment is the second return
ed against Wheeler and Campbell, they
having been indicted in Montana on
charges involving allegations that Mr..
Wheeler improperly represented Camp
bell before a government department
The new indictments are based on
charges relating to the securing of oil
land permits in Montana and relate to
transactions alleged to have taken place
while Booth was in the interior de-
partment.
Initiation Of the grand jury pro.
ceedings here some weeks ago caused a
furry in the senate, where some of
Senator Wheeler's friends declared an
effort was being made to transfer him
across the continent for trial after he
had been once indicted in his home
state on the same sets of facts.
Attorney General Stone replied, how
ever, that the new case was entirely
Independent of the Montana proceed
ings. and related to acts which took
place in the District of Columbia. These
acts as detailed by government counsel
included an attempt by Senator Wheel
er acting with Campbell, to secure OF
land permits through cooperation with
Booth.
The Montana indictment. which was
returned several months ago, also re-
lated to land permits. but the specific
charge made in that instance was that
after his election to the senate, Mr.
Wheeler illegally accepted a fee for act
ing as counsel for Campbell in practice
before the interior department.
A senate committee, headed by Sen.
ator Borah of Idaho, after hearings in
which Booth and others testified, ex-
onerated Senator Wheeler from wrong
doing. The government pressed its
case in Montana, however. and date
during April was fixed for the trial.
