CANADIAN LIQUOR
HELDBLOW TO i. S.
House Subcommittee Hears
Doran Plead for Revision
of Rum Treaty.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Liquor smuggling over the Canadian
border, in the opinion of Prohibition
Commissioner Doran, presents the most
serious problem in dry law enforcement
today. To correct it, he suggests a re-
vision of the Canadian liquor treaty to
prevent Canada from clearing liquor
cargoes to this country.
DR.. Doran's statement, made public
today, was made before House appro-
priations subcommittee at hearings on
the Treasury supply bill.
The commissioner said. notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Coast Guard has
operated to break UP nearby rum rows,
there is still large movement of liquor
into the United States from European
ports, the French Island Of st. Pierre,
aud from some Central American and
Mexican ports. The largest quantity,
however, he said, comes in from Canada,
and seven-eighths of it through the De-
troit gateway.
Aids Fake Liquor Sales.
While the amount Of liquor moving
into the interior of this country has
been reduced, Dr.. Doran said the pres
ent treaty, stipulating merely that Can
ada notify this country of liquor ship
clearances from her ports, affords a
good sales background for fake liquor
labels and for fraudulent strip-stamps,
indicating bottled in bond whisky, both
in Canada and in the United States
Under the new policy of controlling
industrial alcohol production at the
source, DR.. Doran said, distilling of illi-
cit liquor had been reduced. The pres
ent supply, he added, is, to large ex-
lent, smuggled or made in this country
from raw materials, principally corn,
sugar and grain.
THAT indicates progress in enforce
ment," he said, that we think is quite
favorable and 1t has relieved the in
dustrial trade to some considerable ex-
tent of the odium of being responsible In
their trades for large diversion of in
dustrial alcohol.
The breaking down of Illicit distilling
AAOIn 4dA &c W SuldAk PA1AIo, Iklc COIIlIIllS-
Sioner said, had increased the need Of
cooperation in enforcement from local
officials. This has been forthcoming in
some sections, he added, but in others
there had been not only passive, but
active and hearty" opposition.
Maryland Withholds Cooperation.

publican, Indiana, chairman of the sub
committee, to elaborate on this point,

Inventor of Trap
For Burglars Shot
When He Forgets

Trapped by his own invention
for the detection of burglars,
William Operton, colored, 81 years
old, 2209 Ninth street, today
went to Freedmen's Hospital and
requested physicians to treat him
for bullet wound in the hand.
Operton told eighth precinct
police that thieves had been TAX
ing tools and tires from his
garage in the rear of his home.
Yesterday he decided that he
would trap the thieves, so placed
a pistol in such a position that
it would discharge when the door
was opened.
Last night he went to bed and
slept easier than has been his
habit for the past several nights.
Upon arising, he decided that he
would go out and find out
whether the thieves had bothered
his garage during the night, COM
pletely forgetting his invention.
When he opened the door he was
immediately reminded of it, for
bullet tore through his hand.
His condition is not serious.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS
ITEM IS CUT HARD
Little More Than Half of
S3,715,3OO Requested
Is Allowed.

With the smallest buildings and
grounds item since the already serious
ly retarded five-year school building
program was instituted four years ago
included in the Districts 1880 budget
as it was sent to Congress today, school
authorities found only disappointment
for their hopes to clean up" the pro-
gram within two years of its established
completion date, and further evidences
of the pending fight on the status of
the proposed new Business High School.
The pessimistic outlook on the COM
pletion of the five-year building pro-
gram was found by the authorities in
the failure of the Bureau of the Bud
get to make any efforts to catch up
on the delayed appropriations and In
the bureaus contrary act of pruning
the building and ground item even be-
low the current appropriation.
The aggravation of the situation in
volving the Business High School con-
Struction appropriation is contained in
the provision which the Budget Bureau
has undertaken to attach to the initial
100000 which it has allowed-that the
appropriation is to be granted only if
the present Business High School build
ing Is converted into an elementary
school for colored pupils.
Cut Almost in Half.
In considering the needs of the school
system the Bureau of the Budget cut
the school authorities buildings and
grounds items almost in half, allowing
only $1,960000 of the $3,7l5,3OO orig
inally sought by the school heads to 20
before Congress. The allowed buildings
and grounds item is $685., 1000 less than
the current appropriations for the same
purpose, while 1t Is less than half of
the annual appropriation authorized
under the five-year program.
Not since the first year of the build
ing programs operation has the full
$4,000,000 been appropriated by Con-
gress and, consequently, while the pro-
gram should be 80 per cent appro-
priated for. it is today approximately
SO per cent completed. Seeing the pro-
gram face further retardation under
each years budget and, at the same
time, recognizing that since the building
programs authorized items were based
solely on calculations made seven wears
in advance, certain needs which were
then thought apparent today have
become less urgent through peculiar
development of the city, the school au-
thoritieS had hoped that with the full
amount Of their estimates appropriated
this year, and similar appropriation

President Urges
Increase in Fund to
Retire u. S. Debt

To retire the public debt of the
United States the President has
recommended to Congress appro-
priation of $553,067, ,629. .02. to
come from ordinary receipts of
the Government for the fiscal
year 1880. This is an increase of
$10,624, ,921 46 over retirements
for the present fiscal year.
Higher money rates prevailing
in the early part of the current
fiscal year cost the Government
about $5,000,000 in added inter-
est, but in spite of this increase
the debt has been so reduced
during the year that interest
estimates for the next fiscal
year are 35,00O,OO0 under the

lures of $675, 100000.
