BUDGET TRIMMING
WILL BEGIN TODAY
Commissioners Face Task of
Cutting 100000
From Estimates.

The task Of trimming approximately

mates to bring them down to the limit

<cau. will be started by the Commits.
sioners this afternoon.
Officials indicated this morning that
they had no preconceived ideas in ad-
vance of the board conference as TO
where the deepest cuts would be made.
pointing out that the original recon-
mendations of heads of departments
already had been sharply reduced be-
fore the tentative total Of approx
mately 100000 was submitted TO
the Budget Bureau. Although it is
believed that some part Of the $1,000
600 cut will be taken from the tenta.
tive total Of S1S,5o0,000 for the opera
ton and expansion Of the school syS-
TEN, there were indications that mu-
nicipal officials have no disposition to
curtail the needs Of the school build
ing program any more than Is abso-
1utely necessary.
It Is likely that some blue pencil
ing also will have to be done on the
list OF street paving and highway
recommendations.
Requirements of the public school
system and the highway department
represent a considerable proportion
of the total District budget every
year, and it is difficult, therefore, to
take out 100000 from the entire
budget without some reductions
under those two headings.
- In any event, the Commissioners,
II is virtually certain. will take advan-
tage Of the privilege accorded by the
Budget Bureau of submitting in the
form of urgent supplementals the more
important projects that must be
eliminated from the regular esti-
mates IN getting down to the Budget
Bureau total. In submitting supple
mental items, however. the Commits
sioners must forward a statement
explaining to the budget authorities
just what would result from the
failure to approve each of the items
carried in that list.

THIEVES ROB SHOP;
CHEW0WNER'SGUM
Intruders at F Street Store
Cut Through Roof and
Make $1,000 Haul.

Burglars with a craving for chew
ing gum and an aversion to burglar
alarms. cut through the roof Of the
jewelry store of S. NJ. Selinger, SIS F
street, last night and stripped the
show window Of choice collection
Of watches, besides taking the best
pieces Of jewelry from the show cases.
Mr.. Selinger estimates the loot to ag.
gregate $1,000.
The roof is the only part OF the
store that is not heavily wired with
burglar alarm apparatus and the
thieves avoided carefully the safe and
other strong boxes. which were pro-
tected by alarms.
Seized Owners Gum.
They took time, however. to exer-
else their Jaws with box containing
"a packages Of chewing gum, which
Mr.. Selinger. had purchased for his
private consumption just before clos
ing time last night.
When he opened the store this
morning he found the floor Uttered
with gum wrappers. The intruders
took also an old pair Of pants. hang.
ing in a locker. They overlooked sew
eral thousand dollars worth OF watch
es in a wooden cabinet a few feet
away.
In cutting into the store. which was
believed to have been burglar proof,
the gum chewing burglars were shield
ed by a skylight Enclosure on the roof
They cut through layer Of roofing as
well as several boards, plaster and
lathing and dropped down on the mez-
canine floor, where the Office Is locat-
ed. Three years ago an attempt was
made to rob the show window by
smashing 1t, but the burglar alarm
went off as soon as the glass was shat
tered and the robber was frightened
away.
Watches and Jewelry Stolen.
The burglars took IS watches from
the main show window and then went
through the cases taking rings. brace.
let's, scarf pins, silverware and mesh
bags.
The only clue they left is the assur-
ance that they like chewing gum.

SIX PARTIES FAIL
TO FIND EXPLORER
Gigantic Granite Stronghold,

swer to the fate Of Lawrence s. Ash
ley, geologist and underground ex-
plorer. who disappeared within its
deep recesses Monday morning.
Nick-a.Jack Cave. 30 miles west Of
Chattanooga, held fast the one man
that possibly had lauded its wonders
more widely than any other person.
Ashley, ever fascinated by its marvels,
held the cavern in higher regard than
Mammoth Cave.
Six Search Parties Fail.
A seventh party Of explorers took
up the search for the missing geolo-
gist last night when the sixth band of
weary, bleary-eyed seekers staggered
exhausted out of its murky entrance
after futile eight-hour tramp
through the mysterious winnings, a
slow, painstaking journey through six
miles of subterranean passages, re-
vealed no trace of the missing man.
and only a cryptic sign, LISA. 1876,
scrawled on a rock far within. which
friends believed was merely guide
marker used by Ashley.
Ashley, advising intimates that he
intended penetrating deep into the
cave for further Investigations, en-
tered the cavern with only a Few
sandwiches and a small quantity OF
carbide for his lamps. both OF wnlcn
searchers conclude were consumed
hours ago. They cherish a rant
hope that IL he has escaped q watery
grave in the clear river running to
unknown avenues, he may be wan
dering alive within the impenetra-
BILE darkness. Others fear he may
have met the fate of Floyd Collins
in being imprisoned by rock slide
and held helpless in q subcavern
beyond their reach.
May Ask State Aid.
A plan was crystallizing here to-
day to ask the governor for State
aid and possibly for State militia to
assist in the rescue work.
Nick-a-Jack Cave Is situated at
the side of Cumberland Mountain,
near the Nashville, Chattanooga Il
st. Louis Railroad depot IN Shell
mound, 30 miles west OF Chatta-
nooge. It was formerly one of the
secret resorts of the freebooters who
infested this region. The main en-
trance is on the Tennessee River and
the mouth of the cave Is about 80
yards wide. 1t Is arched with granite
and the height of the center Is about
Is feet. A small river. crystal clear,
flows from the cave. which gradually
contracts to the size of the stream
and can be explored in its innermost
recesses only in a small boat. Just
how far the cave pentrates the noun
tain has never been ascertained.

UNREST IN AFRICA
| IS LA|D TO MOSCOW
Reds Charged With Attempt
to Stir Up Strife in
French Colonies.

PARIS, August ia categorical
accusation that the Moscow govern
ment and the leaders of the Third
(Moscow) International are working
together to wreck Frances colonial
empire is printed by the Matin today.
The newspaper says the Soviet mill
tary attache in Paris, NJ. Wolkoff, and
the Soviet Ambassador at Berlin, M.
Krestinsky, are collaborating to bring
about a fresh rising of the Moorish
tribesmen.
With the object of proving its ac-
cusation, the Matin prints a long
series of letters alleged to have passed
between Volkoff, Krestinsky and
"Comrade Gallaher" at London rela-
tive to supplying arms and munitions
to the Riffian tribes and the carrying
on of propaganda in Algeria, Morocco
and Tunis ito detach the natives from
France" Thus far, the paper adds, the
attempts have had little success.
1.-The treacherous Third international
and the Soviet government are insep-
arable," the Matin declares. Both Of
them are in the habit Of noisily dis
avowing inconvenient documents, but
they will not dare deny these"

Disorders I'm East Indies Traced to
Moscow Government.

By Radio TO The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1927.
AMSTERDAM. August 19.-It now
Is certain that the Communist disor-
ders which occurred recently In the
East Indies were due exclusively to
underground action Of Moscow agents.
An exhaustive inquiry. just concluded
proves that the movement was the re-
suit of broadly conceived Moscow
plan, carried out through the co-opera-
ton Of Communists in China.
Holland, faced with the problem Of
controlling colonial possessions, with
a population six times as great as that
of the mother country, is seriously
perturbed at these disclosures. Money
is alleged to have feached the natives
through religious channels-in other
words, some Of the native priests have
succumbed to red propaganda.
