FOUR new BUSES
VOTED FOR PUPILS
Prince Georges Education
Board includes Lines in
1880 Budget.
By GEORGE PORTER,
Stan Correspondent OF The Star.

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, March 5.
Following months of careful study
and numerous conferences between the
Prince Georges County commissioners
and the Board Of Education, the first
definite action In regard to the trans
portatton Of high school pupils was
taken yesterday, when the Education
Board ordered four new bus lines in
cluded in the 1890 budget, which will be
submitted to the county commissioners
later this week
Pupils using the new lines win be
charged $40 q year, payable quarterly
in advance. The lines included in the
budget on this basis are:
Mitchellville and vicinity to the Marl-
boro High School. Accokeek and vicinity
to the Oxon Fill Consolidated School.
Youngs Corner and vicinity to the MARI
boro Colored High School.
In addition the school board provided
that the budget specify that pupils now
being transported on bus lines TO the
Oxon Hill Consolidated School be
charged $40 a year, and that with this
fund bus line be established to trans
port pupils to that school from Fort
Foote
1t was also ordered that $4,000 be
included in the budget to continue the
operation Of bus lines now established,
under the same conditions as at pres
emit.
An expenditure of $4,000, "or so much
as may be necessary" was provided in
the budget for the erection of an addi-
ton TO the Beltsville School. This was
the only one of four building requests
included in the budget.
A strenuous effort was made to have
the budget include an appropriation for
an addition to the Bowie School, Albert
CAN'T, representing the trustees of that
school, appearing before the board yes
terday with petition bearing several
hundred signatures. The board, how
ever, considered that the sac, 1000 neces-
sary for this addition was too large a
sum to include in a direct levy and
postponed action until next year
The only other personal appearance
before the board yesterday was made by
q delegation of women from Fort Foote,
headed by Mrs. NJ. B. Brooke, seeking
transportation to the Oxon Hill Con-
Solidated School as recommended by
the board In the budget later in the day.
The entire morning session was given
20 fnal joint meeting with the county
commissioners, at which the four new
building requests and eight petitions for
bus lines were discussed.
Supt. Of Schools Nicholas Orem in
formed the commissioners that without
any OF those items the county part Of
the 1880 school budget would show an
increase Of about 1000 over last year
for an expected increase Of 400 pupils
This, however, does not include interest
of $9,532.50 on bonds issued January /,
1890.

COUNTER REVOLT
 REPORTED LOOMING
State Police Officers Still Loyal
 to PreStes

Montevideo, Uruguay, Oct. 27.- (UP)-Plans for a countet- Eolu- tion in Sac Paulo in support of Dr. Julio Prestes, president-e elect of Brazil, were reported today. '
 Reports indicated that Gen. Hastimphilo de Moura, former com mander of the federal military zone in Sac Paulo who became provision al president of the state after Presi- dent Washington Luis was over thrown, was using his authority to organize factions loyal to Prestes. Sac Paulo, capital of BraziFs rich est state, is the home of the presi- dent elect and remained loyal to the government during the revolution.
 It was understood that Gen. De Moura and Prestes are very close frisWds. Prestes was said to retain the loyalty of numerous influential, persons in Sac Paulo, including high officers of the strong "Paulista" state police.
 The fact that Prestes has not been heard from for several days increaS- ed the belief in local Brazilian quarters that his friends were await ing an opportune moment to bring him forth at the head of counter revolutionary movement.

Scouts Stranded On Long Island
 Use Special Train On Trip Home

Caught on Long Island when the sound became too rough for the ferry boat to venture out of port. five Boy Scouts and a scoutmaster' from this city who had gone on the annual pilgrimage to Theodore Roosevelt's grave at Oyster Bay Sat urday rode back around through Ney York to Stamford on special u ain and arrived back in New Brit ain at o'clock yesterday morning after a day of memorable excite mcnt.
 The five boys, all members Of Troop 4, left this city early in the morning, making the trip to Stam- ford with Scoutmaster Robert G. Sackett of Troop 26, a former mem Der Of Troop 4. There. fortunately. MT. Sackett left his automobile, and the group took the ferry across to Long Island. joining with hundred. of other scouts from Connecticut, New York and other states in pay ing the annual birthday anniversary tribute to Roosevelt.
 When the time for the return trip came the wind had whipped the sound waters into such an angry state that the ferry captain would not accept the responsibility for talk ing a boat load across, so the Con- necticut scouts appeared stranded. But they got in touch with national headquarters in New York city, and two hours later a special train was made up.. This brought them around over Hell Gate bridge and into Stamford at midnight. From her2 the local youths telephoned worried parents, and then they re-entered MT. Sackett's car and made a quick trip home.

EMBASSY THEATER

Sizzling! Whizzling. Action! Fun. Clara Bows in town in Her We'd ding Night" a deliciously romantic farce-comedy, written by Avery Hopwood, king of farce. Her We'd ding Night" ends tomorrow night at the Embassy and vowed the house Saturday and Sunday. It's laughs at the start, the middle and love at the end. It's a Bow knockout.
 Imagine Clara Bow as red headed film star in France. where. because she doesn't understand the language, she unwittingly becomes the bride in a wedding ceremony in which the groom is masquerading under an assumed name. Thus she becomes the wife, by proxy, of a man she has never seen.
 Charlotte Greenwood, in Love Your Neighbor," is another big laugh. Gerald Sullivan keeps the audience in good humor with his popular songs. Other short subjects of entertainment merit are offered 10 complete an excellent bill.

BILLION NEEDED
 IN VETERAN WORK
Total Rises Despite Efforts to
 Cut Appropriations

Washington, Oct. 27 R,-A bil- lion dollar outlay will be needed next year to meet the governments increasing bill for veterans con- pensation and pensions.
 Despite efforts of the, administra- ton of veterans affairs to keep es- inmates below the billion figure, de- mands for pensions ospitaliza ton and compensation under the laws created by congress last spring have brought the total to staggering heights.
 $1OO,OOO,OOO Bureau Needs
 Preliminary estimates for the vet crans' bureau alone for the next fiscal year indicate probable in crease of more than s1Oo,OOo, ,0O0. Appropriations for the bureau last year amounted to about s550,000,- ooO, and, with the added demands, the numerous new hospitals and att tendant expenses, the cost of opera tion next year is expected to amount to nearly s665, 100000.
 The annual outlay of the pensions Jul Sdu, IiluilllS and Civil War claims, already has amounted to more than $200,O0O, 1000. With the increased pensions for Npanish- American veterans and their dependents authorized by the last congress, substantial increase in expenditures is anticipated. Use by veterans of all wars of the various branches of the national home for disable volunteer soldiers is expect ed to increase their annual nain- tenance costs by many millions.
 Three Agencies Before
 Until congress authorized the con- solidation of the national soldiers home, formerly under the war de- partment, and the pensions bureau, under the interior department, with the independent veterans bureau, the annual veterans bill was split three ways, but totaled about $S00,- 100000.
 Congress will receive the first combined estimate early in January.
 With the exception of the con- solidated treasury-post office annual supply bill, which usually is in eX- ce of a billion dollars, the appro- priations to be requested by the veterans agency will exceed all others. Under present plans they will aggregate more than the com- bined costs of maintaining the mili- tary and naval establishments and the interior department,

 Youthful HOldup Man

Boston. Oct. 27 (UP)-A for mer policeman's strong-arm tao tics proved too much for two young gunmen who held him up at his Roxbury garage late last night.
 One bandit held Jonathan Con- linson at gunpoint while the sec- ond started to search his pockets. Suddenly Conlinson felled the gun holder with a punch or the jaw and directed well-placed kick at the confederate.
 The would-be robbers fled, pur- sued by the ex-policeman. Con- linson stumbled over an oil can and the fugitives escaped.
