D. c. CASH BILL

FOR PASSAGE
$44, 100000 Budget Awaits
Final Approval in Senate;
Other Measures Up in House

Giving District Of Columbia
legislation the best chance 1t has
had during the entire session both
the Senate and House today pro-
ceeded to consideration OF local
bills. Committees are also to be
active throughout the week wind
ing up hearings and making re.
ports on measures that have been
pending foS sometime.
Before adjournment today the
Senate was due to pass the Dis.
trict appropriation bill, with it's
unprecedented total of approx.
mately $44,000,000. Only one con.
troversial item in the measure re-
mained to come to a vote this
afternoon. That is the 100000
allowance for the Farmers Prod
uce Market in the Southwest sec.
ton. Chairman Capper, of the
District Committee. urges tire
Senate to reject this provision.
holding that such market is
not needed and the funds would
be practically wasted. However,
Congress authorized the sum dur
ing its past session and the ap-
preparation is merely carrying out
that mandate.
TydingS Is Opposed
Another opponent of the mar.
ket item is Senator Tydings of
Maryland, member of the District
Committee. who regards the pro-
posed Southwest site as too far
removed for the use of Maryland
farmers.
Before the end of the week
Senator Capper will ask that the
District Committee either reject
or report out favorably three i'm
Dortant bills that have long been
before the committee-thes street.
car merger bill. the alley elimina-
ton bill and the Howell bone

Acting Chairman Mcleod, CT
the House District Committee,
was to call up a part of the Dis
trict calendar this afternoon. al
though the program was that
only non-controverSial matters
would be reached tooay.
On next Monday and the Mon
day following the District Com.
mittee is to be given more time
and seeks to clear the calendars
of such important bills as the

Murder of RecLuse

NEW YORK, May IL GN.SD.
A murder mystery fit for a pic
tional detective ace was presented
to police today.
Jacob Willis, 70-year-old re-
cluse, was found beaten to death
in his apartment. His rooms
were ransacked but nothing was
taken. The murdererS didn't even
disturb a valuable diamond tiepin
he was wearing nor large sum
of money in his pocket.
The aged victim had no known
enemiOS. His main enjoyments
were throwing pennies to neigh
borhood children and going to
the movies. He lived alone, his
wife and son having died some
years ago.
Before he died he held up two
fingers. Police inferred from this
that there were two murderers.

The weapon had never been re-

Commonwealth Attorney Will
liam c. Cloth, of Arlington
County, declared today that all
clues which had accumulated
during the week we're run out
Saturday night and yesterday by
himself, Sheriff Howard Fields
and members of Washington
Headquarters homicide Squad.
Cloth asked that the public,
which wants to see the murderer
of Miss Baker apprehended and
punished, be not too optimistic
over the man hunt that is now
in progress Off the principal sus.
pect. All they have against this
man now, he pointed out, is a
chain of circumstances. At the
same time, Cloth said, he will
have quite a lot of explaining to
do when and if apprehended.
FIees From City
The suspect, who answers the
general description of a man
whom Park Policeman Hammond
claims he saw taking to the
Baker girl many times during
the two months prior to the muir
der, skipped OUT when he
learned that police ere checking
up on his movements.
He was traced to Philadelphia,
but there the trail seems to have
been lost. A general lookout"
was sent broadcast by Washing
ton police to the principal cities
of the country.
AS a result of this lookout"
police last night received a wire
from Atlanta that man answer.
ing in some respects the deScrip-
ton Of the suspect had been
found hanging from a billboard
rafter in the terminal station at
that place.
Atlanta police described the
man as weighing about 18O
pounds, while the suS ect's weight
is $50. The suspect has dark
hair while the suicides hair is
said to be reddish brown. The
suicide is about seven years
younger than the suspect.
The present tip was furnished
by The Times.
The Times preliminary inves-
t1gation was actuated by the strik-
ing similarity of the man to the
one seen talking to the Baker
girl and of his character, habits
and knowledge of the country
where it is believed the murder
was committed.
Removes Burden of Proof
The strongest circumstance
against him is his Skipping

to investigate his movements on
the day of the murder. Com

LEGION, FACING DEFEAT, MAKES
 FINAL EFFORT
Manning to Pitch in Third Game in Effort to Stay
 Loss of Series

With it's back against the wall the American Legion baseball club was preparing today to fight its way out of the shadow of defeat in the Little Worlds Series, the third game of which is scheduled for this evening. The Moose, having won the first two games, were con- fident of taking the third and de- ciding contest, making it clean sweep.
 Pete Schmitz, who pitched and won the first game Sunday, will assay to repeat that performance tonight. Big Mac will do the re- ceiving. Macs work back of the plate has been outstanding in the series. Manager MacKinnon will start the third game with his lineup unchanged.
 He had no doubt about winning tonight. The Moose is playing a brand of ball that can't be equalled by any team or combination of teams in the league" he declared. The pitchers are working fault lessly and the flelders are giving them bangup support. The boys are all hitting the ball and taking advantage of every break"
 Cunningham's victory last night didn't surprise McKinnon. Tn the last three games he has pitched against the Legion team, it has gotten exactly nine hits and no runs at all. He blanked them once without a semblance of hit, so I expected him to win as he did last night"
 Manager Sabin and Field cap tain Bobby Coughlin of the Vets were prepared to head bunch of desperate ball players on the field tonight. They realize they have to play real baseball to win and are banking on a reversal of batting form tonight to take them out of what looks like almost sure defeat in the series.
 Manning, who was hit hard in the opening inning last night but finished in great style, will be on the mound again tonight. Sabin declared Jimmy can turn back the rampant Moose tonight. The rest of the lineup will be virtually the same as last night.

Soon after reaching here last evening the Sitka made trip with pas sengers to Tulsequah.
 Today the Sitka and Petersburg are engaged in cannery service, for estry inspection trips and sight seeing flights over Taku and Men denhall Glaciers.

Intricate and beautiful bead and basket work, designed and made by Eskimo maidens hundreds of years ago, intrigued the attention and elicited the praise of a pretty English girl, and war implements of Alaska natives of an age long since gone were viewed and appraised by British experts, versed in the latest scientific methods of com- bat, at the Alaska Historical Mu- scum today. Capt. H. R. Moore, D. s. O., commander of the British Cruiser Dauntless, twelve other of ficers off the vessel, Mrs. Moore and Miss Barbara Moore, wife and daughter respectively of Captain Moore, spent an hour this forenoon at the Museum. They were shown the countless relics on exhibition by the Rev. Father A. P. Kashevaroff, curator, who explained to his dis tinguished guests the historical and artistic aspects of the various ob- jects.
 Mrs Moore and Miss Moore evin- ced great interest in articles that had been wrought or woven by feminine hands of long ago. Cap- tain Moore and his companions in service, directed special attention to antiquated arms and to accounts of historic events connected with activities of the Hudson's Bay Con- pany and of the English Navy in this part of the world.
 That the visitors were pleasantly entertained was evidenced by the remark of one of them that the time allotted for the call had passed all too quickly.
