With the Federal lump sum to-
ward the upkeep of the National
Capital increased from 100000
to $12,000,000, the District appro-
priation bill for the next fiscal
year was reported out Of the Sen
ate appropriations committee to-
day, carrying $43,910,855, a reduc-
ton of $1,422,262 from the total
approved by the House.
In recommending a larger con-
tribution by the United States to-
ward the Districts annual supply
bill, the Senate committee adj
hered to the stand it has taken In
preceding years in support of the
appeal Of the residents Of Wash
ington for a more equitable di-
vision of expenses.
Nearer 6O-4O Ratio.
Senator Bingham, Republican, Of
Connecticut, chairman of the subcom-
mittee in charge of the bill, said that
$12,000,000 consideration was given to
the amount of property that is being
taken off the taxable list to make way
for new buildings in the triangle and in
the municipal center area. He said that
the apportionment or the expenses
under the bill as reported is somewhat
nearer to the 60-40 ratio.
TIE 60-40 ration was fixed by law a
number of years ago, but since 1925 the

The Senate committee cut the House

600 to $1,000,000, the largest single
change made.
Teacher Transfer Eliminated.
Another important change was the
striking out of the provision which
would have required school authorities
to fill all teacher vacancies in the first
four grades of the elementary schools
next year by transferring teachers from
kindergartens, thereby reducing the
number of kindergarten instructors, in
stead of appointing normal school

! giving the net reduction of 81 ,422,412.

BAKER CLUES WANE
AS GLOOM DEEPENS
Officials Become More PesSi.
mistic With Only FIimsy
Leads to Follow.

With only few flinsy leads left to
be run down, Washington detectives,
Department of Justice agents and
Arlington County officials investigating
the murder of Mary Baker, appeared
today to be more pessimistic over the
outcome that at any time since the
crime was committed.
The most promising development In
the last "a hours was a report received
at the Detective Bureau to the effect
that man in gray cap, answering
the general description of the one seen
struggling with Miss Baker in her car,
at Seventeenth and B streets shortly
before her death, appeared in a prom
inent Washington department store sew
eral days after the crime searching for
one of the slain woman'S friends. This
man, 1t was said, had been drinking
and when he became disorderly, the
store detective elected him.
Detectives have been assignd to in
vestigate the report, but the officials
attached little Importance to it for two
reasons. One is that they cannot be-
lieve that the man who murdered Miss
Baker would be so bold as to make 1t
known publicly that he was looking foI
a friend of the murdered woman, and
secondly, the girl he was inquiring
about is not employed in any depart
ment store.

produce anything of value with one
possible exception. This is information
of the Arlington County force, who went

Oak Grove, Va. on a special mission
returning late Saturday.
Arlington County officials are guard
ing the information with utmost Secre-
cy. Jones intimated, however, that 1t
was unlikely to be of any assistance in

Jones also brought back a photo
graph of a former admirer OF Miss
Baker. He is former member OF the
Marine Corps, who now is married and
living in Ohio. Police in the Ohio town
looked into the movements OF this man
at the request of Arlington County au-
thorities and learned that he had not
been away from home in recent weeks
The Arlington County police likewise
were unable to make any connection
between the crime and the suitcase

BUDGET BOOST
FOR EMERGENCY
URGED BY HOLT
Controller Is ACtuated by
Example of Need in
Disease Epidemic.

Creation of a 100000 or $4,000
emergency fund in the 1881 city
budget was urged today by City
Controller Sterling r. Holt, TO meet
possible contingencies which would
require funds not itemized in the
budget.
Holt proposed the contingency
fund be expended only with ap-
prevail Of Mayor Reginald H. Sui
Ivan, the controller and city coun-
ell.
Various things come up which
can not be forecast" Holt said. we
might have another tornado or flood
condition requiring funds and the
city should be able to pay its bills.
Ex-MayOr L. Ert Slack had a
$4,000 contingency fund last year
to provide funds for employment of
counsel in the Citizens Gas Com
pany case and for other purposes,
but failed to list it in the 1890
budget.
HOlts remarks were occasioned by
the need for $500 to meet the pay
roll Of health department employees
who have been waging the battle on
cerebrospinal meningitis.
"They have been doing a noble
job and they'll be paid if 7 have to
advance it out of my own pocket.
We can't get the reputation of Chi
cago by not paying our own en-
ployes." Holt declared.
Additional appropriation of $25 900
probably will be asked of city
council to pay special bills incurred
during the meningitis wave.
