expressed that congress did not pass
the $125, 5,0OO,OO0 public buildings bill
and the $19,OO0,00O measure to take
care of first year construction, it
was pointed out that under existing
appropriations approximately S5
buildings could be put under contract
during the next year.
The location of these buildings and
the amount to be expended probably
will be announced next week, As
sistant Secretary Schuneman, in
charge of the building program, said.
Appropriation balances for the de-
ferred projects authorized prior to
the last public buildings act aggre-
gated $S,249,81724, which is still
available.
Projects for the country at large
all can be placed under contract, and
appropriations totaling $4,031,O 900 are
available for this purpose.
The navy will get along as best
it can without the appropriations
provided in the deficiency bill and
will continue work on the aircraft
carriers, Lexington and Saratoga, by
diverting funds from the increase of
the navy appropriation, Secretary
Wilbur said. He added that the 10th
congress would be relied upon to
furnish the money needed in urgent
deficiency legislation next Decem-
Der.
The modernization of the battle
ships, Oklahoma and Nevada, will be
delayed, but it is hoped to continue
construction of the fleet submarine
VA Buildings and improvements
contemplated at Quantico, Va, ma
rine barracks and at several naval
bases will be held up. The marine
corps faces a deficiency through hav-
ing. expended money for the marine
mail guard, and how the loss will
be retrieved has not been decided.
An examination of law in search
of any possible loophole that would
save a slash of 10000 men in thu
strength of the army before appro-
priations aggregating $20,000,O0O
would go down with the deficiency
bill
Into the discard also went mill
lions provided for army subsistence
and improved erations for troops. That
caused no grave concern, however,
as the law permits the creation of
deficiencies to feed the army.
Payment. of monthly allotments to
the governments 100000 war pen
sioners will be interrupted during
the months of May and June due to
the $39,000,0 900 shortage of interior
department funds which the defi
cheney bill was relied upon to supply.
The department announced that the
accrued payments would be made in
July after the appropriation for the
next fiscal year became available.
The bureau of reclamation faces a
shortage which will affect construc-
tion and repairs on the projects at
Okanogan, Wash, Riverton, Wyo.,
and Newlands, New, and the Pay
cite division Of the Boise project,
Idaho.
A situation recognized by the bu-
reau as serious is created along the
Colorado river qevees needing $4,000
for protection of the Yuma, Ariz,
irrigation project and other farm
lands from floods The department
hopes to be able to utilize funds car

tions which were not used.

WATER COMM|TTEE
TO VISIT NEW YORK
Pressure Inquiry Body Will
See Underwriters and
Demonstration.

The committee appointed by the
District Commissioners to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of installing a highpres-
sure fire protection system in the
high.value section of Washington Nill
go to New York Tuesday to confer
with officials of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters and to witness
an actual demonstration Of the high
pressure system in operation.
The object of the conference with
the Board of Fire Underwriters is TO
ascertain whether reduction would
be allowed in fire insurance premiums
if the District increases the size of
its water mains in accordance with
the recommendations in the board $
last report.
George s. Watson. chief engineer
of the District Fire Department and
chairman of the committee, believes
that the District could carry out the
boards recommendation for approx,
mately 500 900. whereas it would cost
almost $4,000, 900 to install a high
pressure system. Moreover. the ire
chief said a cut in the fire insurance
rates for undermining the water dis
tribution system would benefit the en-
tire city. while only buildings i'll the
high-Value district would bencnt from
the promised reduction for a high
pressure system.
The demonstration of New Yor<'s
high-pressure system III operation has
been arranged by the fire chief Of
that city at the request of Mr.. Wat
son. After the committees return n
subsequent trip to Baltimore is plan
ned TO witness a demonstration of its
high-pressure system, which is of a
different type from that in New York.
Congress appropriated So 5000 as
travelling expenses for the committee
to make the Investigations in other
cities.

REQUEST FOR ALIMONY
BRINGS BIGAMY CHARGE
Woman's Divorce Decree of Year
Ago Is Vacated and Prose-
cution Is Ordered.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 3O.-A woman
sought to collect alimony in a superior
court yesterday on a divorce granted
her a year ago, but before the hear.
ing had ended her divorce decree had
been vacated, her two children de-
clared illegitimate, her husband
charged with knowingly marrying a
ngamist and the woman accused of
blgamy.
The woman, Mrs. Ida Lou Jenkins
Williams Sim, appeared before Su.
perlor Judge j. B. David seeking to
collect $3.50 alimony from her former
husband, Allan Alexander Sim. AS
the hearing progressed she confessed
marrying Sim without obtaining a
dlvorce from Arthur Williams of At
lanta, Ga, whom she married in 1916.
and Sim admitted knowledge of this
TACT when he married her.
AS a result Judge David asked the
states attorney to investigate with
view to prosecution for bigamy. He
said he believed that Chicago divorce
courts were cluttered with MANY
fraudulent divorces and advocated
! prosecution of every case that came
70 light. The decision was appealed.
