SURPLUS PROBABLE
IN YEARS CLOSE
Gloomy Predictions for Remain
der Of 1880, However

Washington. June 30 P-The
close of the fiscal year of 1880 at
midnight tonight will find a surplus
of approximately s20O,ooo,000 in the
Golfers of the government and
gloomy predictions prevalent for
the year of 1881.
At the close of business on Thurs
day a total of s4,151,057.206 had
been collected and s3,93S,536 ,S37
spent leaving a favorable margin of
s2l2,520,000. No large payments
were in sight for the closing days
of the year.
Sees Probable Deficit
In opposing the enactment OF the
johnson Rankin Veteran Relief bill
Secretary Mellon said present lndica-
lions pointed to a deficit a year
from now. Appropriations for the
coming year aggregate about 81
boo,0O0,000, "a sum greater than the
estimated government revenue.
The same situation has prevailed
IN the past, however, and the gov
eminent, nevertheless, has shown
surplus at the close of each hscal
year since the budget system was
Instituted.
OF the present surplus, 100000
600 is the result Of foreign debtor
nations making their June Is pay
ments in cash instead of govern
ment securities. "A sharp squirt in
customs receipts just prior to the
time the Hawley-Smoot act became
law, also influenced the total.
Collapse Effect Slight
Income tax payments shovel the
Wall street collapse of last fall af-
fected the returns Of but conpar-
alive few of the millions OF tax pay
ers. 1t had been expected the break
. in security prices would cause
material reduction in incohe tax
receipts.
4 The surplus at the close Of the
sfscal year OF 1929 was $lS5 $4,000.

Treasury Relinquishes the
Task Tonight to Mitchell
and Assistants-Confer-
ence of Governors Will
Be Called by Leader.

Washington. June 80 LP,-Re-
bition laws will pass tonight into
the hands of the nations legal
agency.
At midnight the department of
Justice, following President Hoovers
plan for Strengthening the admins
tration Of the dry statutes, will take
over the prohibition bureau from
the treasury and inaugurate its en-
forcement campaign.
The move will place Attorney Cen
eral Mitchell in the command Of the
dry forces. He will be aided by AS
sistant Attorney General Youngquist,
as the administrative officer and
Amos w. w. Woodcock, and Howard
T. Jones, also lawyers, as director
and assistant director of the division
of prohibition.
Wants State Cooperation
Calling for state cooperatives, Mr..
Mitchell last week said that when
the eighteenth amendment was
adopted it was not contem plated that
the federal government would create
an enormous police force such as
would be necessary to enforce the
law if state authorities did moth
ing
He added he would put forth
special effort 10 confer with authori-
ties of each state TO secure that de-
gree of law observance and enforce
Htnl 10 i
only through the united efforts of
the state and federal governments"
1t is reported he will seek to have
conferences called between governors
of state and dry officers to evolve
methods OF more rigidly enforcing
the law. Other reports have it that
the attorney general will seek an in
crease in the number of prohibition
agents with a view to tightening the
enforcement in wet districts of the
country and will concentrate upon
those spots.
The transfer of the prohibition
bureau will take away from the
treasury for the first time the
handling of the liquor problem Be
fore the cdoption of the Eighteenth
tered the Internal Revenue law
which collected taxes from the
liquor business AID since that time
has not only had the enforcement
of prohibition but the handling of
the industrial alcohol and medicinal
liquor manufacture.
Controls Industrial "Alky"
Under the transfer the treasury
will retain control of the industrial
alcohol and medicinal liquor,
though the department OF justice
is given equal authority over the
issuance OF permits for manufacture
and use of industrial alcohol.
The change will take approx
mately 27oo employees from the
treasury TO the department of JUS
tice. OF this number 100 are pro-
hibition agents who are expected to
concentrate their efforts upon the
capture of large illicit distilleries
and rings which are handling in
toxicants rather than devote atten-
ton to minor bootlegging.
Physically, however, there actual
~ will be no transfer of the per-
sonnet from their present offices.
Bot>>, the industrial alcohol division
OF the treasury and the prohibition
division of the Justice department
will retain their present offices in
the Southern Railway building here
and the only change will be for
Director Woodcock and his assis-
tant to take over their offices in
that building.

ESCAPES TAX SALE
Trustees Authorized to Raise
. Funds Necessary for
$4,000 Payment.

The Smith Building. which formerly
housed the sumptuous ofices Of the
F. H. Smith Co.. escaped being sold
for taxes yesterday when Justice Fred
erick L. Siddons, in District Supreme
Court, authorized the trustees to raise
funds necessary for the payment Of
approximately $4,000 in overdue taxes
and penalties.
Herbert L. Davis and Charles S.
Baker who have been handling the
affairs of the Smith Building, under
the direction of the court, yesterday
filed a special report stating that out
standing real estate taxes, with penal
ties, amount to nearly $4,000. The
court ordered the trustees to proceed
to raise whatever sum is necessary to
pay the amount due, thus preventing
the issuance Of tax title deed to the
property.
1t was reported that the Smith Build
ing, located at 815 Fifteenth street, is
rented in excess of IS per cent, above
the first floor, and that the trustees
expect. In the near future, to submit
definite proposition to the court looking

GIRL CONFESSES
FAKE ABDUCTION
Says She Scratched Hands
and Tore Stockings to
Back Up Tale.

A 16-year-old stenographer, tipping
her own confession, admitted at police
headquarters last night that the sensa-
tional story she told of her abduction
by three men In an automobile, who
wrapped her in q blanket and threw her
in the rear Of the machine, was a story
of her own concoction.
The girl, Miss Netti Cliff, of 912 Vir-
ginia avenue, told police after question
ing that she scratched her own hands
with a nail file and tore her stockings
so that police would believe her story.
Miss Cliff, who first told her story to
first precinct police, stated in her con-
fession that she concocted her story to
make her boy friend like her all the
more"
She readily admitted that the story
Of Katherine Deegan, 18-year-old girl,
who several days ago said she was kid
mapped, taken to Baltimore and later re-
turned because "she was not the right
girl" inspired her to tell police the
story.
It was only after Detective Sergt.
Dennis Murphy questioned here for
nearly half an hour that she admitted
her story was untrue. The girl said, II
am very sorry I caused the police any
trouble"
Miss Cliff said she visited various
stores on F street and about o'clock
went to the theater It was there. she
said, that the Inspiration of connecting
the story dawned.
Il went TO the ladies' room and put
my clothes on backward. Then I tore
my stockings and scratched my hands
with nail flle. then went to the first
precinct and reported the story of my
kidnapping"

Little City Aid Here.
THE most recent volume of the Gen.
sus Bureaus Financial Statistics OF
Cities having population of over 3d.
000,' shows that the public library here
had received, as heretofore, diSpro-
portionately small percentage of money
spent for municipal maintenance as
compared with other cities" DR.. Bower
man continues. I'm all these American
cities an average of 1.3 per cent of all
municipal expenditures was devoted to
libraries. that in cites over 100000
population an average of IL per cent of
all maintenance expenditures was for
libraries, that in cities over 500, 900
to 100000 population an average of LIS
per cent of all city maintenance ex-
penditures was spent on libraries. In
Washington but 90 per cent Of the Dis
trtct's maintenance expenditures was in
1927 devoted to library maintenance, or
less than three quarters of the average
of all cities. 1t is quite evident that
the public library is receiving for its
maintenance q disproportionally small
share Of the District tax money.
