Budget Estimates for 1892,

resent 1927, $50 Increase.
FUNDS ARE REQUESTED
FOR BUILDING SITES
1880 Item Is Urged for Equip
ment, Including Additional
Water Tower.

Funds for construction of three new
nre engine and truck houses and for
purchase of three building sites are
asked by the Fire Department. in its
estimates for 1882.
For the entire department, the new
budget calls for an appropriation of
$2.541 AGO, an increase of S2s7 $50. I'd
compared with the 1881 needs.
Considering the success with which
the Police Department has met in the
operation of its new teletype system of
communication, Fire Chief George s.
Watson has asked the Commissioners
to allow his department $21, 300 for
similar equipment connecting all sta
tons with headquarters. The teletype
II regarded as a great improvement in
the expeditions sending and receiving
OF reports, which are printed stimuli
taneouSly at all stations. An appropria-
ton OF $117,500 also is sought for the
purchase of new equipment and an in
crease of $4,000 is needed for the re-
placement of $4,000 feet of old hose.
$254,O00 for New Houses.
Estimates for new houses include
$168, $50 for construction and equip
ment OF new homes for No. 16 Engine
Company, at Twelfth and D streets, and
No. 8 Track Company, at Fourteenth
and Ohio avenue. A site and house for
Twelfth street and Rhode Island avenue

iS oefiV0afoI
OF the total appropriation sought by
the Fire Department 100000 is pro-
vtded for salaries. This Is an increase
Of $4,000, due to longevity payments.
Included in the total Is the sum of
e10,607 to cover salary lapses in the
1881 bill for the personnel of Engine
Company No. 81, new company, which
. to be organized and for which a
Anilding previously had been author
tzed. This company will have q cap
tain, one lieutenant, one sergeant and
is privates.
Ask $4,000 for Repairs.
Repairs to apparatus call for $45, 600,
o reduction of 81 ZOO from last year.
Since much of the hose is rotting and
bursting, due to years of service, $21 900
is asked to replace all hose purchased
prior to 1924. This 10000 feet Of hose
will greatly facilitate the work Of the
firemen, who have suffered frequent de-
lays and inconvenience at fires during
the past year due to trouble with worn
out hose. Only 81 900 was provided for
new hose In the 1881 bill.
The expenditure of Silt, 500 for new
equipment calls for five aerial hook and
ladder trucks at SIS, 900 each; five COM
bination hose wagons at $4,000 each
and an additional water tower, motor
driven, at $4,000. The department
now has only one tower, it was point
ed out, and there is always danger that
it may be out of service when most
needed.

THIEF GETS GEMS
VALUED AT S,7b
Hotel Room of Mrs. Charles
Deming Entered While
She Dined.

A thief, who apparently was q clever
professional, admitted himself to the
fifth-fioor suite at the Carlton Hotel of
Mrs. Charles Deming of New York while
she was at dinner last evening, and
escaped unobserved with jewelry valued
at $3,775.
When she returned to her rooms after
the evening meal she found her trunk
thrown open and the premises in dis
order. The jewels were missing from a
dressing table where she had left them
in a handbag an hour previously.
Detectives could find no marks on the
door, and presumed entry had been
gained by picking the lock. The trunk
had been jimmied and searched, but
none Of its contents was removed from
the room.
Mrs. Deming, the widow Of a promi-
nent New York attorney, listed the
stolen articles as a platinum bracelet
set with diamonds and worth $4,000, q
pearl necklace with an emerald clasp
worth 81, 900 ana a platinum chain, set
with diamonds and aquamar1neS, valued
at $275.
Detective Sergt. Larry O'Dea made a
careful search of the room from which
the jewels were reported missing with
out finding any fingerprints or other
clues. Police today were working on
the theory that the thief saw Mrs.
Deming with the jewelry and watched
her until the chance arrived to enter
the apartment.
Mrs. Deming was absent from her
room only about an hour while at din
ner on the ground floor. Although at
tendants were questioned, no one had
observed any suspicious persons on the
floor.
The New York woman. who resides
at the Plaza Hotel there, spent most of
last Winter in Washington and arrived
here Wednesday for another visit.
