 0F BLACK EMPEROR
Is Nearest Approach to City in
 All Ethiopia

Washington, D. C, May 2,-Ad- dis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia (Ab- yssinia), and residence of tn" worlds newest emperor, Ras Taffari Makonnen, is described in com munication from Wlfred H. Osgood. 10 the National Geographic Society, and released from the society's Washington. D. C. headquarters.
 Struggled against the hills at all altitude of S,1O0 fe9t, Addis Ababa has a beautiful situation and q fine climate, with cool clear nights and glorious days of brilliant but not oppressive sunshine,' says Mir. Os- good.
 Streets Swarm with Natives
 '"The name of the capital means new flower.' It is the nearest ap- proach to q real city in the coun try and the only place much affect cd by modern influences.
 The main streets Of the capital literally swarm with the dark na- tives in their picturesque costume Of white cotton cloth. They are all harefooted or, at most, wear very simple sandals, and the majority are bare-headed, although the red fez, and especially the turban Of the Moslem, appear with considerable freQueI.-y.
 There arc so many~pcople abroad that one feels 1t must be a gala sea son of some sort, but the visitor learns that much of the coming and going may be accounted for by the fact that in a feudal country the Job of being a vassal consists large Iv in running errands or wandering and sitting about doing nothing.
 The streets in Addis Ababa are fairly wide, but very winding. and the city IS spread over a large area In the business section there ere a few buildings of substantial character. and western civilization has made it's usual contribution of corrugated iron: but the dwelling places are mainly in native style, with matched conical roofs and dirt floors.
 Mixture of Ancient and Modern
 The automobile has arrived and proved it's usefulness 10 such an eX- tent that some 800 are now in use, and the work Of grading and i'm proving streets is actively under way. Outside the city, however. the automobile, as vet, cannot go.
 Small trade IS carried on by Turks. Arncnians, and Hlndrs, who have been suffered 10 come in; and altogether the place presents q curious mixture Of the ancient and the modern, together with cer- tain pioneer features due to the fact that the city was founded scarcely more than 50 years ago.
 "Hyanas howl at night and For1 cars honk and rattle by day Camels in long lines sway along under heavy loads; mules and donkeys, horses that range from native scrubs to the finest Arabians, cattle. sheep. goats dogs-all kinds Of domestic animals except pigs-help 10 fill the streets.

PROMOTIONS
PROVIDED IN
NEW BILL
Opponents of Amendment Are
DispIeased With Plans for
Compromise; Will Fight

The Wood "rider" eliminating
all Federal salary increases IN
1892 is officially dead, it became
clear today when the agriculture
appropriation bill was reported to
the House.
AS substitute, the House Ap-
preparations Com mittee has
brought forth compromise
whereby no funds are appro-
priated for pay increases in the
Department of Agriculture during
the coming fiscal year, but Fed
eral employees are to be promoted
within grades, with accompany
ing salary increases, whenever
there are vacancies.
Program Is Abandoned
This compromise was originated
by Representative Smell Of New
York and does not carry out the
three-year salary increase pro-
gram placed before Congress by
President Hoover and the Bureau
of the Budget.
Approximately $223,OO0 is de-
Quoted by the House Appropria-
tions Committee from the esti.
mates sent in by the Budget
Bureau to carry out the 1882 pro.
gram for salary increases in the
Agriculture Department.
Opponents Dissatisfied
Opponents of the original Wood
amendment are dissatisfied with
the compromise offered by the
Appropriations Committee today
and will fight it on the floor Of
the House.
They are confident that they
will be able to defeat it as de-
cisively as they beat the Wood
amendment to the Interior De-
partment bill last Saturday.

The greatest thing in the

And because he has friends,
the life of Charles Trammell,

Young Trammell is critically
i'll of a rare form of anemia at
his home at 463 N st. S. w.
Blood transfusions were the only
thing that would save his life,
DR.. s. M. Grayson. his physician
declared.
Sunday five young men ap-
peared at the office Of DR.. Tomas,
M. CajagaS, pathologist, and ex-
planned that they were friends Of
young Trammell and wished to
volunteer for a TRANSMISSION.
Yesterday eight more friends Of
the ill youth appeared and made
the offer. And today II more
friends came forward.
Already young Trammell has
been given two transfusions and
has shown improvement. His
malady will require more, but the
doctors are encouraged by the
numbers of friends who have
come to his aid.

MAJOR GOTWA[S
FISCAL PLAN
PRESENTED !.
EquabIe Scheme for FinanC-
ing District Heard by House
Investigation Com mittee

At conclusion this afternoons
hearing on the fiscal relations
between the Federal and District
Governments, indications were
that the sessions would conclude
before the Christmas holidays.
A few more witnesses were to
be heard this week.
Two witnesses were examined
today. They were Major John
c. Gotwals, Engineer Commis-
sioner Of the District, and Her
bert Janvrin Browne, economist,
who said that in 1912 he was q
special assistant Of the House
District Committee.
Gotwals Plan Heard
Major Gotwals said:
81 think an equitable SOlu-
tiOn of this problem would be
to separate the operating costs
and Capital expenditures Of the
District, permitting the District
to bear the ordinary expenses
and the Federal Government to
defray all other expenses. This
in reality. is rather an uncOn-
sciOus application Of the various
principles. $3.50. 6O-4O. and
lump sum, Of Federal cOntri-
buttons"
Economist Testifies
Major Gotwals said the Dis
trict budget for 1882 was built
on q supposed Federal contribu.
ton of $9,500,000, pending con-
crete determination by Congress.
For the past six years, the Fed.
eral contribution has been set at
$4,000, 900 but in the current bill
the compromise sum Of $4,000, 900
was reached.
Mr.. Browne asserted that the
chief trouble in the taxation
methods of the District is that
land escapes the taxation burden
and improvements on the land
have to pay the price.

CHOICE OF SITE
AROUSES IRE
Of HEADS
Hurley and Adams Utterly
Opposed to Building New
Structure in the Southwest

A split in President Hoover's
Cabinet today blocked action by
the Public Buildings Commission
with respect to the site for the
projected War and Navy Depart
ment building.
Such a wide difference Of
, opinion developed that the COM
mission hastily adjourned after
meeting a few minutes. Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon,
Secretary Of War Hurley, and
Secretary of the Navy Adams sent
word that they would not be
able to attend any meeting Of
the commission before Saturday.
Today is the regular Cabinet
meeting day at the White House.
Fight Is Waged
Behind the scenes the Fine
Arts Commission is waging a hard
fight, supported by powerful
groups in the War and Navy De,
partments, to prevent the South
west site for the new building, the
location on Maryland Avenue, be-
tween Third and Sixth Streets
Southwest, from being chosen.
Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion is the dominant figure in the
situation and he favors the
Southwest site. He is supported
in his stand by Senator Smoot,
chairman Of the commission.
Secretaries Are Opposed
Secretaries Hurley and Adams
are utterly opposed to accepting
|1this location for their new home,
on the ground that it is in
accessible. They are supporting
the Fine Arts Commission in ask
ing for a site in the general sec
ton west Of the present State,
War and Navy. Building.
AS a result of the controversy,
1t appeared probable today that
action with respect to the site
win be delayed until the next
Congress. # the Public Buildings
Commission finally decides upon
} the Southwest site, it will face a
bitter fight in both the House
and the Senate, because the Army
and Navy group are almost
soHdly arraigned against it.
Officers Study Plan
It became known today that
an interdepartmental group Of
Army and Navy officers appointed
to study the problem of futureI
housing problems for the ser-I
vices recently made a report
showing unalterable opposition to
the Southwest site, which is now
regarded as being purely a
Treasury Department proposition.
UnleSsf some settlement is
reached in the near future, it
appears probable that President
Hoover will be called upon to
express his views with regard to
the building plan.
