OF FTEDAL MAY GET
u. S. REVENUE POST
Appointment of Assistant
Commissioner of Prohibi-
tion Is Seen.

ALT Oftedal, assistant prohibition COM
missioner, probably will be named by
President Hoover within the next few
days as collector of internal revenue at
San Francisco.
Mr.. Oftedal's departure could not be
interpreted as the beginning of any
kind of a shakeup, 1t was said. AL
recent rumors that the prohibition unit
was to be reorganized and that Assist
ant Secretary Lowman in charge of pro-
hibition enforcement and Prohibition
Commissioner Doran would resign have
been fatty denied at the Treasury and
White House.
Rumors have been af1oat for some
time that Oftedal was being conSid-
cred for the job, but the matter has
been coming to head and today ii
was virtually considered certainty
that Oftedal will be appointed.
Coming up through the Government
service, Oftedal was for years in the
special intelligence unit, Internal Rev.
enue Bureau, which investigates irreg-
ularities in tax matters. Through this
work he became thoroughly familiar
with the workings of the Federal sys-
tenn for collecting the revenue.
For years he was special agent In
charge of the intelligence unit on the
Pacific Coast, with headquarters in San
Francisco, and was co-ordinator and
supervisor of all prohibition activities
along the coast, including the prohi-
bition unit, Coast Guard and customs.
For about two years he has served
as assistant prohibition commissioner
with what Treasury officials appear to
consider marked ability.

HOOVER MAY APPOINT
ST. PAUL DAIRYMAN
w. F. Schilling, After White House
Visit, Believed offered Farm
Board Place.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
w. F. Schilling. president of the
Twin City Milk Producers Association
of st. Paul, Mimi, held an extended
conference with President Hoover to-
day and it is understood he was Of
fered place on the Federal Farm
Board.
At the conclusion of his interview
with the Chief Executive, Mr.. Schilling
declined to say what had taken place,
but said that some announcement could
be expected from President Hoover to-
morrow.
AS president of the Twin City AS
sociation, Schilling has had extensive
experience in cooperative dairying. A
place on the board was offered origi-
nally to w. S. Moserip, secretary-treas-
urer of the same organization, but hV
declined because of the press of per-
Sonal business affairs.

The second portable of this group
was found in very poor condition. The
wood sills and pilings showed evident
signs of decay, brought on. 1t is be-
lieved, by the absence of down drain
spouts, which permitted the roof water
to splash in heavy streams at the cor
ners of the building. The water formed
in puddles around the building, envel-
cping the timberS in places.
Inspection of the down-spouts, which
are not connected with sewers, in
dicated that even when they are in
place these drains merely carry the
rain-water out onto the playground,
where it must evaporate or soak in.
The indications were that these drains
had been out of position, damaged, or
lacking for many months.
Walking Shakes Walls.
As the inspectors plodded the floors
inside the buildings, the walls and de-
tached equipment shook under the
vibration of their weight.
The third portable of this group was
found to be in much the same condition
as the second. The fourth was in a
slightly better condition. The first
building was little better than the
second and third, but had been consid-
eTdply weakened Dy constant removal
from one site to another
Municipal Architect Albert L. Harris
received the school boards request for
the inspection of the buildings by his
office shortly after 9 o'clock this morn
ing, and five minutes later he had ap-
pointed a committee of two engineers
to perform the task. Those named by
Mr.. Harris were John A. Long, engi-
neer in charge of the District repair
shop, chairman, and Harold H. Marsh,
chief structural engineer of the munich
pal architects Office.
Mr.. Harris also requested Henry
Storey, superintendent of repairs, to
accompany the inspectors as an OBJ
server and for the purpose of supplying
information on these structures to the
two inspectors. The inspecting body
was completed with the enlistment of
j. ]. Crane, first assistant superintend-

ent of schools, in charge Of buildings
and grounds, who was invited to make
the inspection as the representative OF
the school board.
Following inspection of the Jefferson
group the engineers went to the Syphax
School at One-half and N streets SOUTH
west, where they viewed other portables.
From Syphax the party went to Con-
gress Heights, thence to the Birney
School, expecting to conclude today's
work at the Ketcham School.
May Finish in Week.
When informed Saturday that the
Board of Education proposed to request
the inspection, Mr.. Harris said he be-
lieved the work might be completed in
a week, but following their introduce
ton to the task this morning the en-
gineers actually making the inspection
were inclined to believe the time needed
would approximate two weeks. Mr..
Harris said today he was aware of the
eSaeee therefore, was 81 unwilling to sacrifice any
time in getting it under way.
In choosing Mr.. Marsh and Mr.. Long
for the inspection Mr.. Harris said he
acted with the idea of avoiding the
naming of any District engineer or re-
pair shop man who had had previous
actual contact with the portables Thus
he hoped to obtain an unbiased report
of the condition of the structure.
The inspection is being made at the
request of the Board of Education,
which proposes to base its decision on
future use of portables here upon the
findings of the committee. 1t has been
the practice heretofore to, transfer the
portables from one site to another as
now narrnonarf cnhn0l h,tjl1ipnc Ir,oro
erected and as new demands for school,
house facilities arose in other localities.
Damage to the portables by storm and
the gradual but constant weakening of
them by moving caused school officials
under DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent. to ask the board whether that
policy was to be continued or the future
congestions were to be met with part
time classes.

Funds, Held indispensable, Are
Allowed by Commissioners.

approximately 100000 in excess of
the tentative total of $48, 100000 orig
inally fixed by the Commissioners
the Districts financial budget for the
1881 fiscal year is being put in final
shape at the District Building today for
| transmission to the Bureau of the Bud
get.
The 100000 was added, It Is under
stood, as the result of eleventh hour
| dltional funds for improvements re-
garded as indispensable in the 1881
| fiscal year.
Urgency Is Recognized.
The Commissioners, it was said,
| recognized the urgency of these i'm
provementS and allowed the items to
be included in the estimates, although
they will carry the tentative budget
| figure above the amount originally set
when the budget making work was
started nearly two months ago.
The $25,000 additional asked by the
Public Utilities Commission for an in
| crease In its personnel is believed to
be one of the last minute items repre-
sented in the 100000 increase. The
commission made this request about 10
| days ago when 1t became aware of the
| desirability of a closer check on the
accounts of the public utility corpora
tions, which it said was not possible
with the existing personnel.
Donovan Is Framing Report.
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor and budget officer, who is pre-
pairing the tentative budget in final
form for consideration of the Budget
Bureau, also Is framing supplement
tary report to accompany 1t. The sup
Elementary report will contain detailed
explanations of the reasons for the in
creases sought above the appropriations
for the 1880 fiscal year.
The tentative budget as it goes to
the Budget Bureau will be in skeleton
lied form, and the supplementary re-
port. it was explained. will make it
comparatively simple for the budget
officers to check the new items as we'll
as the annually recurring items, which
have been enlarged for the 1881 budget.
Largest Budget i'm History.
Maj. Donovan is expected to complete
and the budget will be sent to the
Budget Bureau next Monday. the date
on which the District and all depart
ments of the Federal Government have
been ordered to submit the 1881 tenta-
tive estimates.
The s48,2Oo,ooo budget for, 1891 is
the largest in the history of the Dis
trict, exceeding by $500 900 the
amount appropriated for the current
fiscal year in the regular appropriation
act.
The 100000 appropriated by Con-
gress shortly before its Summer recess
for the purchase of part of the site
for the new municipal center, however.
will be charged to the appropriation for
the current fiscal year, which will bring
the total up to S44.500,000. This figure
probably will be further raised to about
s45 100000 In December if the Commits
sioners carry out their present plans to
seek a supplemental appropriation OF
S500000 at the regular session of Con-
gress to begin the construction of two
proposed temperature incinerators.

PO|NCARE HOLDS
WAR DEBT TRUMP
Premier May Approve Accord
and Force Confidence
Vote in Parliament.


PARIS, July 8.-After two weeks of
political maneuvering, the question of
ratification of the Mellon -Berenger
debt settlement with America still ap-
peared today very much up in the air
Premier Poincare, despite a show of
force against him in the Chamber of
Deputies, appeared to hold the trump
card. with which he may secure rati-
fication at any time he wishes, possibly
at big price.
That trump card was his power to
ratify the debt accord by decree and
then go to Parliament and ask approval
of his action. Few political observers
believe such action would result in an
unfavorable vote on the confidence mo-
ton which would follow.
Position Held Advantageous.
While the tendency generally was to
belittle the chances the opposition has
of gaining a vote in the chamber favor
the ratification itself, many thought
this was what the premier eventually
would do, although several other
schemes have been offered the govern
ment.
It was pointed out generally today
that M. PoincareS position was quite
advantageous. He has the cabinet unam-
imously behind him. and French SEN
timent, while not wholly approving the
debt settlement, deplores anything re-
motely suggestive of reputation.
The government has let it be made
clear that its opposition is not reserva-
tions to the atification-which it feels
justified, as well as its opposition-but
to inclusion of the reservations in the
ratification measure itself. The govern
ment quite probably would concur in a
separate resolution saying the same
thing, that is that France would be
bound by the debt accord only so long
as the reparations payments from Ger
many were forthcoming.
Effective Date Draws Near.
1t hardly appeared today that debate
on the ratification could take place be-
fore July 16, leaving but two weeks for
ratification in time to evade payment
of the $400, 100000 surplus war stocks
bill, which will come due August l, un-
less the debt accord is approved and 1t
is included in that general settlement
The opposition, meanwhile, has not
been idle. A general meeting Of the
"Croix de Feu" (cross of fire associa-
tions) yesterday adopted an order OF
the day pledging themselves to combat
