and, as he neared the men. he was knocked to the ground. Neighbors called for the police as the men ran away. Officer Lawrence Doolan, sent out from headquarters to in yestigate, found the two men rest ing on the railroad tracks near Cur tiss street and arrested them, bring ing them to headquarters where they were questioned by Acting Captain Joseph Strup. They admitted hav- ing an argument with Costello.
 Olson, when telling of the affair, to Officer Strup, is said to have re- marked that Costello struck the first blow. He said that Costello was in jured in the fight that ensued. Hos pital authorities advanced the thought that the injured man struck his head on concrete sidewalk or curbing as he fell, so serious were his hurts. Costello IS suffering from abrasions about the body and black ened eyes besides the brain concus- sion and skull fracture.
 Olson and Jacquette, held for tr,al today without bonds, will be gwen preliminary hearing by Prosecutor Anthony J. Rich tonor- row. The case was continued today as the court awaited the outcome of Costello's injuries.

BINGHAM MAY URGE
FISCAL COMMISSION
Permanent Group May Be
Sought by Him at Next
Session.

Rejecting over the contest waged re-
Gently between the Senate and House
regarding the Federal contribution
toward District expenses, Senator Btng-
ham, Republican, of Connecticut, is in
clined to believe there should be per-
manent commission on fiscal relations,
made up of representatives of all par
ties interested in the question.
Senator Bingham, who headed the
Senate conferees in their successful fight
to obtain some increase in the Federal
contribution this year, said today he Is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of propos-
ing such a commission at the next
session of Congress and suggested that
its membership might consist of two
Senators, two House members, one cabi-
net member, a District Commissioner
and one resident of the District.
Senator Bingham had a resolution
pending in the Senate District commit
tee when Congress adjourned for a
commission somewhat along these lines,
but under that resolution 1t would have
gone out of existence after making its
report In the closing days of the ses-
sion it was decided not to press for
action.
The Senator said that a permanent
commission would consider changing
conditions and report each year re-
garding the subject.
Any proposal for joint commission
would require action by the House as
we'll as the Senate, and since the House
will not reconvene until December, 1t
is not regarded as likely that such a
commission could be created in time to
make a report in connection with the
next District bill, which will be drafted
early in the December session.
Senator Jones, Republican of Wash
ington, chairman of the Appropriation
Committee, also has a resolution pend
ing in the District Committee for a
commission of three members, to con-
flne itself to preparation for Congress
OF an annual statement on the value of
Federal and private property in the
District. Senator Jones did not offer
this as a complete solution of the prob
lem, but thought that it would be help
full information for Congress to have
to be considered along with the other
factors in the fiscal relations question.
Meanwhile, Washington Is awaiting
with interest the forthcoming appoint
ment by Speaker Longworth of the
special House committee of seven
members authorized just before adj
journment to study fiscal relations and
report to the House.

D. c. Candidates Not Ger
titled Since Examination,
Pratt Charges.
81 UNIFORM PERSONNEL
APPOINTMENTS HELD UP
Earnest Efforts of Department to
Give Promised Service Declared
Baked by Commission.

Delay of the Civil Service Commission
in certifying candidates who took the
last examination for appointment to
the police force is embarrassing" to the
department and preventing it from
functioning at maximum effectiveness,
Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent,
announced today as the Commissioners
took under consideration his compre-
hensive plan for reorganization of the
force
With 81 vacancies in the uniform per-
sonnet and funds available to fill them,
Maj. Pratt said he has been unable to
get any definite information from the
commission as to when the men who
took the last police examination will be
certified for appointment. The exami-
nation was held April 81.
This condition is embarrassing to
the department" Maj. Pratt declared,
because it cannot keep the compile
ments at the various stations filled, de-
spite the plea made to Congress that adj
ditional men are needed to police the
District and give to the citizens that
character Of service to which we be-
lieve they are entitled"
Vacancies Exist Since March is.
Maj. Pratt pointed out that some of
the vacancies have existed since March
is, more than month prior to the
examination, and that the department
made strenuous efforts at that time to
keep the personnel up to its full strength
by appointing men from the eligible
list of the Fire Department.
Twenty mine of the 81 vacancies, Maj.
Pratt declared, existed before the be-
ginning of the current fiscal year July
and the others have been created by the
1891 appropriation act which gives the
department IL additional privateS and
provides for the promotion of a number
OF men because OF an item creating Is
new lieutensncies.
Five hundred and thirty-five candi-
dates took the last examination, and
about 20 of them succeeded in passing
the prescribed mental and physical
tests Some OF these, it was said, likely
will be eliminated by the character in
vestigation, the third and final step in
qualifying men for appointment to the
force. Thus, Mai. Pratt explained, the
existing vacancies most likely will COM
pletely exhaust the new eligible list
created as result of the April 81 ex-
animation, making it impossible for the
department to fill any vacancies which
may occur before another examination
can be held and the candidates quail
fed.
Believes New System Needed.
The situation, Maj. Pratt believes,
calls for the adoption of a new method
of creating police eligible lists, so that
the names Of qualified candidates can
be held'tn reserve, enabling the depart
ment to fill vacancies as soon as they
occur Such system was in operation
several years ago, he said, but was
abandoned.

A hat may be wearing apparel, but 1t

ploye cannot charge its cleaning in

according to Controller General Nc
Carl.
This fine distinction between hat
and clothing was drawn in the case of

In his decision today Controller Gen.

In explaining why, the controller
general pointed out that the standard

low $40 a week for laundry on the
average and 81 rs a week on the average
for cleaning and pressing Of clothes"

DECLARES HAT NOT CLOTHING
IN REFUSING CLEANING BILL
McCarl, Denying Expense Item, Says Headwear Not
Included in Travel Expense Provisions

Mr.. McCarl. "it has never been the
practice to regard such provision as
including the cleaning of hats. The
term cleaning and pressing is to be
taken conJunctively as indicating what
Is meant by clothes and must be re-
garded as limiting the term to such
items OF wearing apparel as are ordi-
narily pressed or cleaned and pressed
at frequent intervals. the reason for
considering such item as a part of
reimbursible travel expenses preSum-
ably being either that such cleaning
and pressing are done without expense
when not in travel status. or that
the conditions of travel necessarily re-
quire that the pressing or cleaning and
pressing be done at more frequent in
tervals.
such presumptions do not ordinarily
arise with respect to the cleaning of
hats. but be that as 1t may, it must
be held that the term clothes as used
In the provision in paragraph So of
the standardized Government travel
regulations relative to cleaning and
pressing clothes was intended to have
only that restricted application which
had been given to the term by admin
istrative and accounting oficers over
long period Of years in constituting
former travel regulations containing q
similar provision"
