The question of why the budgetary
estimates for the operation of the City

Municipal Finance Committee OF the
trade body to study and recommends

board, by authority Of the Executive
Committee of the organization, granted
after q lengthy consideration Of tht

the fundamental principles behind the
existing machinery for the formulation

Commissioners estimates. on which the

it's forthcoming session for action there
Consideration of the question OF
launching a campaign for the removal

growth of dissatisfaction among local
taxpayers over the present machinery

Bureau Has Wide Power.
The Budget Bureau now has the au-
thority to change not only the total
amount of the budget submitted by the
city heads. but also has the power, and
in the past has exercised its preroga-
tive of changing individual items sub
mitted for the financing of the work OF
various departments of the District.
Further, it is pointed out, the Bureau
of the Budget has had the power to
approve or disapprove the anticipated
Federal contribution to the District on
which the tentative budget for the city

should not have jurisdiction over the

BOSTON, October 14.-Communists
and police engaged in hand-to-hand
battle outside the convention hall Of
the American Federation of Labor to-
day. Several arrests were made.
The disorder started when police at
tempted to break up a demonstration
by the Communists after having denied
them admittance to the Hotel Brad
ford, III which the Federation of Labor
sessions are being held.
When the police arrested one speaker
who tried to address the crowd other
Communists attempted to rescue him.
A furious struggle then ensued be-
tween the crowd of Communists and
police. Police reserves sped to the aid
of the police detail at the hotel and a
number of Communists were taken
away in patrol wagons.
Police Communicated a taxicab to
carry other Communists to a nearby
police station. One taxicab was almost
captured by the mob, which leaped
upon it's running boards and nearly sue

the Communist ranks and their screams
added to the general confusion. All
traffic on fremont street at this point

When the Communists finally were

Recommendations on Paving
Assessments to Go to D. c.
Heads Today.
C0NFERS WITH AIDES
ON ACTION OF COURT
Favors Raising Money to Be Lost
Under Law by Increase in
Gasoline Tax.

Corporation Counsel william W.
Bride probably will recommend to the
District Commissioners today that all
assessments levied under the Borlan6
act for highway improvement during
the past three years be canceledT
Mr.. Bride called together MEETING
of his assistants this morning t0fdiscuss
the decision of the supremslCourt Of
the United States in refusing a writ
of certiorari to review the decision
of tn Court of Appeals. Scanceling as
sessments under the Bwiand act in two
cases. One of thoye decisions also
held that an assessment for curbine
under the act of 1894 was illegal. What
is to be done With respect to assess
ments for curbing in the future is not
known.
After the meeting today, Mr.. Bride
said his Recommendation was to b.
made to/the Commissioners this after
noon and that he did not feel it proper
to Nuke it public before comforting
with the city heads. 1t was under
Stood however, that the decision Of the
Districts legal advisers was that any
attempt to assess property under the
Borland act would probably meet with
q reverse in court, and that the best
thing to do would be to cancel al
assessments under it.
The period of three years was
selected, it was said, as that Is the
period for the running of the statute
of limitations, which bars all claims
arising more than three years prior tc
the filing of suit of this nature.
Assessments Tabulated.
The amount of assessments under
the Borland act for the fiscal years
1923 to 1880, inclusive, is $1,403, 1874 40
made up as follows: 1928 fiscal year
$477,717.23; 1929 fiscal year, $704,-
8le.75: 1880 fiscal year, $22l ,2g7. AZ.
1t is thought that this sum roughly
represents the amount involved with
the exception of certain claims flee
under special act passed February
IL, 1929. According to that act, claim
ants for cancellation Of assessment un.
der the Borland law, who filed theil
claims previous to February IL, 1880
could get refunds OF money paid or
assessments made on and after Septem.
Der /. 1915. Most of these claims have
already been adjudicated, but it Is
thought that all of them will be re-
viewed II the decision Is made to can
eel all Borland law assessments.
This would add an indeterminate sum
to the approximate figure previously
mentioned.
Mr.. Bride was asked what he woulc
recommend as a source of money tt
take the place of that to be lost by
cancellation of the Borland law assess
ments. He said that in his annual re-
port he had recommended an increase
of the gasoline tax to cents per gallon
This would result in an Increased tar
collection of about 1900 900 per an
mum, which should be enough to take
care Of the paving work and the re-
funds together, Mr. Bride estimated.
At present when claimant believes
he has been improperly assessed he may
file his claim with the District Com
missloners for reimbursement or can
collation. of the assessment The Com
missioners may cancel the assessment OF

Bacteria Isolated
That Causes Death
From Appendicitis
az the Associated Press.


MARBURG, Jugoslavia, Octo-
Der 14.-Dr. w. Pfannenstiel to-
day notified the National Medi-
cal Association that he had sue
ceeded in isolating and cultivat-
ing a specific bacteria responsible
for the phenomenon of decom-
position of the appendix in ap-
pendicitis.
This culture, upon introduction
into the intestines of mice, in
variably produced death from
appendicitis. On the other hand,
having produced acute appendi-
citis, DR.. Pfannenstiel was able
by use of an anti-toxfc serum
cultivated from virulent specific
bacilli to reduce Inflammation
and the mice recovered.
The physician has no doubt
that his serum will modify acute
appendicitis in humans and pre-
pare them for a subsequent
harmless operation.

CITY OF UBERABA TAKEN

Capture Gives Them Control of
Triangular Part of State Of
Minas Geraes.
BY the Associated Press.


RIO DE JANEIRO, october a.
Radio messages intercepted by the gov
eminent here today indicated that the
position of Brazilian revolutionists in
the states of Minas Geraes and Parana
was becoming difficult.
One sent from Bello Horizonte, capt.
tai of Minas Geraes, told revolutionary
headquarters in the south that the in
fiux of great number of federal troops
had caused the abandonment of the
Bello Horizonte sector.
Have the government of Minas
Geraes take other measures" the rebel
message concluded.
Economic Situation Hard.
Another intercepted message was from
the chief of the rebel forces in Parana
to Getulio Vargas, head of the revolu-
tionary movement at Porto Allegro, and
declared that the situation in Parana
was difficult from an economic stand
point and that 1t was necessary that
supplies be shipped Immediately.
The government announced that fed
eral troops had captured the important
city of Uberaba, thus taking over the
triangular portion of Minas Geraes
which lies between the states of Goyaz
and Sac Paulo.
Save for the slowing down of bust
ness, caused by the banking holiday
decreed by the government, Rio de
Janeiro presents a normal aspect.
Precautions Continued.
Military precautions continued, how
ever. The captain of the port today
ordered that all night traffic in Rio
Harbor cease except for those securing
special permits. Government vessels
and ferry boats will operate as usual.
The chief of the Rio de Janeiro State
Police today issued an order forbidding
the sale of hard liquor, saying that this
was necessary to avert possible disturb
ances. Cafes were not required to close,
however.

Not Really Chinese Dish

The truth seems to be that there 10
no such dish as chop suey known In
China, although it is commonly served
as Chinese throughout the United
States. This has come about In a
curious way. 1t originated at din
ner that Prince LII Hung Chang gave
in New York when he made his trip
around the world. Prince Lii carried
his own chef with him, and the menu
was strictly Chinese. One of the
dishes especially delighted the wife of
the guest of honor, and she asked III
what it was. Prince Lii called in his
chef, and the chef replied in Chinese,
at is creation Of my Own-a chop
suey." The words chop suey" mean
a mixture or hash. Prince Ii said
In English, at is chop suey." The
American woman spread the news Of
the chop suey, the wonderful dish. The
name was taken up by the Chinese
restaurants in America, and today
chop suey is the chief concoction that
they serve.
