George Washington rushed the ball
down to the A. u goal a number of
times to be checked by the alertnesS of

Twice, during the last few minutes

defense work. Martha Benenson, right
fullback, proved valuable in checking
repeated cnSlaughts.
Alice Graham scored the first goal
in the game, giving G. w the edge on
the match early in the opening half.
Katherine Severance evened the count
before the period closed when she
scored for American U. In the second

and held this 2-1 lead until the last
Is minutes of play when G. w. scored
again, tieing the count Twice after
this G. w. threatened seriously to add
another goal to their side of the margin,

threat, but neither was able to put

BUDGET $2,515,924
Commissioners Consider
Measures to Save Urg-
ent Needs.
SUPPLEMENTAL PLEA
MAY BE LOOPHOLE
CONSERVATION Greets Lords An
nounoement of Extra Cut
to Estimates.

Surprise and CONSERVATION reigned in
the departments of the District gov
ernment today when Brig. Gen.
Herbert NJ. Lord, director of the
Bureau of the Budget notified
the District Commissioners that the
President had authorized reduction
in the District budget for the fiscal
year ending June 30. 1880 amounting
to $2,515,924 under the already deeply
pared estimates submitted. The Com
missioners themselves had reduced the
recommendations of department heads
by $8,012.852, so the additional cut
means a total reduction under the
recommendations to the somewhat
formidable figure of $10,528. TIC.
Gen. Lords communication stated
that the President had allocated to the
District of Columbia 1882, ,107 as the
tentative maximum amount of the
1880 estimates. This amount, he en-
phasized, includes all items which are
appropriated for in the District of
Columbia appropriation act and $3,377.-
500 for permanent and indefinite
appropriations
Your regular estimates for the fiscal
year 1880, to be submitted on or be-
fore September Is, 1928 and prepared
in accordance with the instructions Of
July Is, 1928. should not, therefore.
exceed in their total the amount above
stated" the communication to the Dis
trict Commissioners instructed.
Confronted with a fiat reduction OF
S2,515,924 in their carefully prepared
estimates, the District Commissioners
today were considering measures by
which they can save urgent reQuirmentS
for the fiscal needs. They indicated that
there was no alternative but to prepare
supplemental statement showing the
additional amount which will be re-
quired. This loop-hole was left open by
Gen. Lord in notifying the CommiS-
sioners that If the $40 1862, lot allocated
to the District is insufficient to meet
these requirements, an appeal could be
taken.
In submitting their original estimates
the District Commissioners had asked
for $39 OBS, ,53l plus permanent and In
definite supplemental estimates amount
ing to $3.386,5Q or total OF s42,-
478.031. Now Gen. Lord comes for
ward with instructions that the total
estimates to be held within $39, ,962. .107,
against which is booked $3.377 500. In
other words, the Commissioners will
have to cut their estimates by s2.5I5.924
as a result of the agreement reached
between the President and Gen. Lord
at Brule.
ANY supplemental estimates submit
ted later TO the Budget Bureau on be-
half of the District government
necessarily will have TO be considered
wholly on their merits. The duty de-
wolves upon the budget officers. after
hearing, TO determine what require
ments are essential to the necessary and
efficient conduct of District affairs.

BRENNAN, ILLINOIS
POLITICIAN, DIES
Democratic Chief SucCumbs
to Infection Following
Dental Operation.

BY the Associated Press,
CHICAGO, August S.-George e.
Brennan, Democratic national commit
teeman and master mind OF Illinois de-
mocracy since the passing Of Roger
Sullivan, died today.
The death Of the veteran Democratic
chief came Ut $40 O'Clock tiiis morn
ing, following q coma of several hours
during which his sturdy constitution
alone had warded of the end which
had seemed inevitable since yesterday.
Mr.. Brennan was stricken III more
than week ago with tooth infection.
Septic poisoning developed after an OPP
Grafton for the removal of two teeth.
His physicians, however, gave him an
even chance 70 recover until Monday
night, when his kidneys ceased to func-
ton.
Aided Smith Nomination.
Mr.. Brennan was one of the stanch-
est supporters of Gov. Alfred e. Smith
for the presidency, both in 1924, when
he first sought the presidential nomi-
nation, and again this year at Houston,
when the New York Governor was
chosen to head the party's national tick
ct. 1t was Brennans suggestion that
Franklin D. Roosevelt, ever opposed to
Tammany Hail. be selected to nominate
Smith at the national convention.
Brennan, too. was given credit for the
first realization of the value of night
sessions at Houston, creating the pos
stbilities Of radio broadcasting.
Several weeks ago the Illinois chief
paid visit to Gov. Smith in New York.
Long a bulwark of Illinois democracy
and for eight years its guiding hand.
his passing on the eve of another
presidential campaign was regarded as
an almost irreparable lost by his party
associates.
For several years Mr.. Brennan had
been suffering from diabetes, and when
the poison from the infected teeth be-
gan TO spread through his system and
lung became affected, his strength
quickly ebbed. He was SO years old in
May.
Lost Leg In Mine.
Mr.. Brennan's widow and an adopted
daughter survive.
George e. Brennan succeeded to lead
ership of the Democratic party In
Illinois when Roger Sullivan died, and
from that stronghold he quickly
elevated himself to q place in the ma
uonal councils of the party.
His political sagacity was legend ever
while Sullivan was at the helm, and as
head of the Illinois organization he was
welcomed tn the rankE NJ oarfv factars
by such strategists as Tom Taggart OF
Indiana and the leaders of Tammany
Hall.
But for loss Of Leg In an Illinois
coal mine when he was 13, Brennan
might have been unknown TO politics
His mishap sent him to school, where
he prepared himself as q teacher, and
when he came to Chicago shortly be-
lore 1900 he was on his way TO political
| eminence He built up an insurance

j. S. ASKS CHINESE
TO LEAVE PROPERTY
Evacuation of American
Buildings Sought in Note
to NationaIiSts.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, China, August 8.-John
Van A. 'MacMurray. American Minister
at Peking. has sent note to the Ma
tionalist foreign minister calling atten-
ton to the failure of the Nationalist
government to fulfill promises made on
several occasions to evacuate all Amer
ican property occupied by soldiers and
otherwise, and to prevent further such
occurrences.
The note says that despite promises
by the Nationalist government. only a
portion of such properties have been
evacuated. and even additional property
has been seized.
AS q few among many" examples,
the note instances the American church
mission and cathedral. the consulate
at Marking the American Presbyte-
rian Missions and properties at Hsu-
chowfu, Tsining and Shumtohfu. which
are at present occupied by the Chinese.
The Minister said that he had been
informed that the occupation of ad-
ditional properties at Nanking and at
Chinkiang was contemplated and that
American property was being treated
ts though America were On enemy cotln-
try making war against China, whereas
It's full protection is an elementary re-
Sponsibility of the Chinese government.
The American Government, the note
says, has displayed throughout the
greatest snf5earance, hoping that Chi
neSe assurances would be made good.
The continued retention OF American
property. especially the United States
consulate at Marking. has created a
very unfavorable impression through
out the world and painfully disappoint-
ed the American Government. There
fore, 1t Is expected, the note continues,
In evidence of the good faith and po-
litical competence OF the Nationalist
government that no more American
properties shall be occupied and that
those already occupied be restored To
the free use of their rightful owners.
