LEADERS TO RUSH
D. c. MONEY BILL
Measure Appropriating $685.
100000 Will Be Considered
in House Tomorrow.

The S33.7O0.000 District appropria-
ton bill. carrying funds for support
of all branches Of the municipal gov
ernment for the fiscal year beginning
July ! next. comes up for considera
ton in the House tomorrow. with
prospect that final action will be
taken by the House on Wednesday.
House Leader Tilson intends to ask
unanimous consent to dispense with
the business of calendar Wednesday
in order to complete action on the
District budget. which will be fol
lowed for the remainder of the week
by the legislative appropriation bill,
not yet reported from committee.
No important fights against the
District bill are in sight. though it
is expected Chairman Zihlman of The
District legislative committee and
Representative Moore, Democrat. of.
Virginia. will oppose the provision
which requires approximately 5000
school children from nearby Mary
land and Virginia to pay tuition for
Washington schools. Prac-
tically all of these children live in
Mr. Zihlman's and Mr.. Moores dis
tricts.
There will be another wrangle over
the question of school sites. The APP
propriations committee has written
into the bill a limitation on the
amount which may be paid for such
sites in the future. 1t has been con-
tended by school authorities and Dis
trict officials that if this limitation is
approved by Congress the five-year
school l-building program might as well
be abandoned. 1t is probable that
some amendment may prevail which
will take care of this situation.

COL. BELL ASSA|LS
WATER SUPPLY BILL
Says Secretary of War
Should Not Be Given Control
of Arlington Rates.

Although the Senate and the House
have passed the bill providing for
the extension of the District water
supply into the sanitary district of
Arlington County. Engineer Commits
sioner Bell today voiced his objection
to a provision in the measure which
places the distribution in Virginia
under the jurisdiction of the Secre-
tary Of War.
Such an arrangement Is mani
festly unfair to the people Of the
District" he said.
The Secretary of War has not con-
trolled the distribution of water In
the District nor does he fix the water
rates, Commissioner Bell explained,
so, therefore. he sees no justification
in the bill to give him authority for
jurisdiction in Virginia.
Investment Cited.
The Federal Government and the
District have a capital investment in
the water supply system, he contends.
and therefore the District should
have some say as to the method of
computing rates for the water users
of Virginia.
In computing rates for the resi-
dents of Virginia, the expenditures
for the aqueducts and filtration
plants, he said, should be given due
consideration. Likewise because of
the fact that the maintenance of the
system is paid from the water rev.
enues of the District
$31, 100000 Expenditures.
The estirsated expenditures of the
water supply system to June 80. 1927,
according to a statistical summary
prepared by Mr.. Bell shows that the
amount approximates $31. 100000.
The Federal Government has an
equity in the supply system of Sill
100000, the District government
$S,700,00o and the Water Depart
ment s11,6O0,000, according to Col.

Supreme Court Ruling in e.
feet Sustains Officer in
Fight Against MCCarl.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States refused today to review the
case of Controller General McCarl
against Comdr. John F. Cox, y. S. n,
involving the right of the controller
general to withhold the pay Of Comdr.
Cox to satisfy an alleged Indebtedness
of S1,754S5 to the Government.
Comdr. Cox sought an injunction
to prevent the controller general from
Withholding his pay, denying the al
legd Indebtedness. In the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia
Comdr. CoXs plea for an injunction
was granted, and this action was af'
f1rmed later by the Court of Appeals
The action Of the Supreme Court to
day in effect SuStains the decision of
the lower courts. although the Su-
preme Court action really was to
decline to review the case.
Final Decision Asked.
The Solicitor General did not sub
scribe to the petition for certiorari and
brief in this case because of his con-
viction that the only authority given to
the accounting and disbursing officers
~ existing statutes to withhold the pay
of an officer of the United States to
satisfy a counter claim is where the
Government s claim arises through
the O1f1Cef failure 10 account Ipf
public moneys intrusted to his care.
And on the further contention that
If the accounting and disbursing Off
GERS have no lawful authority to stop
an officers pay. the courts have power
to interfere by injunction or manda-
mus, the Solicitor General declined to
subscribe. Nevertheless, he joined in
the prayer that the Supreme Court
review the case in order to aid in the
administration of the Government s
business.
The claim against Comdr. Cox OF
indeht edneSs to the United States
grew out of allowances made under
a wartime law to permit an allow
ance for quarters and subsistence for
dependent mothers and wives and
children.
Many Officers Involved.
The hrief filed bv the controlle,
general asserted that it was disclosed
in many cases that such dependency
had not in fact existed during the
period for which the allowance was
obtained and therefore the pay and
allowance account of the officers con
cerned was dehited against the pa!
and allowances then becoming due
Finally. an order was issued to with
hold 20 per cent of the officers cur
rent pay.
The controller general declared
that there are large number OF
officers in the Navy ascertained by
the general accounting office to he
indebted to the United States in the
same way as Comdr. Cox.
