 District Has No Money

Boston, March IS P-The entire criminal machinery Of the federal government in this district will be without adequate operating funds for three months because of the failure of congress to pass the de- ficiency bill. This warning was re- ceived here from Attorney General Sargent today and an emergency conference between judges and heads of the various federal depart ments here was called for this aft ernoon.
 Work without pay by judges and other officials was seen at once, but of even more importance. in view of the fact that it may result In a complete inoperation of justice. was the fact that funds for witnesses. jurors, support of prisoners and other expenses do not exist.
 Mr. Sargent's letter gives repeated warning that no overdrafts will be permitted for the fiscal year of 1927. which ends on July 1. The federal courts therefore face a period of three months. April, May and June, when they will be with out anywhere near adequate funds.
