READY FOR D. c.

An appropriation OF $SS ,259,195
for the District of Columbia be-
comes available tomorrow on the
beginning of the new fiscal year.
This will provide for many i'm
provements and relieve many bad
situations which have resulted from
Congress failure to pass the sec
ond deficiency appropriation bill.
The biggest personnel changes in
the local government tomorrow will
come in the office of the Corpora
ton Counsel and the Police Depart
ment.
William w. Bride. international
lawyer, will succeed Francis H. Ste.
phens corporation counsel, and
a general reorganization of that
office will accompany the change
of heads.
Ringgold Hart will succeed Rob-
ert l.. Williams as first assistant
corporation counsel. Two assist.
ants will be dropped and new ones
take their places.
Juvenile Court Change
Thomas F. Cameron, a social
service worker for the Board of
Public Welfare, will succeed Paul
j. Sedgwick, resigned, as assistant
corporation counsel, Commissioners
Sidney F. Taliaferro announced
today. Cameron will take Sedg-
w1cks place at Juvenile Court.
Forty.one promotions and changes
in assignment will become effec.
tive in the Police Department to-
morrow. The most important one

cases have piled up in both the
District and United States branches.
Altogether, in the two branches,
there are now 1900 jury cases
pending. About $50 Of these are

INDICTED T D R.
D. c. BOXING
-All :rimes starr pnoios

Another blow at boxing in Wash
ington was delivered today by the
District Grand Jury indicting the
promoters of the District Athletic
Club for the operation of a prize
fight on March %. under the CLUB
plan" at the Washington Audi
torium.
The Indictment is returned
against Joseph NJ. Bateman, presi.
dent OF the club, and Peter Coyle,
secretary. They are charged with
violating Section S76 of the District
Code prohibiting fights for which
an admission fee is charged. Theory
of the Government is that the club
plan is but a subterfuge to cover
an admission charge.
The fight was stopped that night
after four preliminary bouts had
been fought, and the principals in
the main bout had gone four
rounds. Police, headed by Inspector
Charles A. Evans. then stepped in,
declaring the main bout a draw.
and announced that the police
would take ''all."
Coyle. however. was not arrested
at that time. but will be taken into
custody as a result of the indict.
ment. All of the fighters were
taken, including Henry Lamar.

years for his operation of a similar
enterprise. Dane is now out on
pond, pending an appeal to the
