BLEASE TO FIGHT
POLICE PAY RAISE
Against Increase as Long as Pratt
Heads Department, He
Tells Robson.

With Senator Cole Blease, Democrat,
of South Carolina, on record against
raising the pay of the police as long
as Maj. Pratt is at the head of that
department, the Robson subcommittee
is scheduled to convene at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon to give further consid-
Grafton TO the policemen and flremen
salary bill.
Senator Blease, who has attacked
Mai. Pratt a number of times while
discussing local affairs in the Senate.
made known his position toward police
salaries yesterday afternoon in talking
over the salary bill with Senator Rob-
sion.
Although he is willing to agree to a
raise for the firemen, Senator Blease
declared he would fight increases for
the police both in committee and on
the floor while Maj. Pratt is superin-
tendent.
The proposed increase will be in
dorSed at the hearing by Mark Lans-
burgh, spokesman for the Merchants &c
Manufacturers Association, of which he
is president.
The merchants body recently went
on record in favor of increased pay, con-
tending that salaries should be raised to
be more in keeping with salaries paid
similar public employees of other large
cities of the country.
1t was declared also that higher sala-
ries would attract men of higher char
acter to the service.

CITIZENS ARE TOLD
OF DISTRICT TAXES
North Capitol Association Ad-
dressed by W. P. Richards,
Assessor.

Brief talks on civic matters by Will
liam P. Richard, assessor for the Dis
trict, and Frank c. Daniel, principal
OF Mckinley High School. featured
meeting last night of the North Capitol
Citizens Association.
In discussing real estate and taxa
ton problems in the District, Mr. Rich
ards pointed out that so per cent of
the city property tax is drawn from
the Northwest section, condition in
dicative of the unprecedented property
development in that territory during
the past decade. Mr.. Richards further
pointed out that 10000 taxpayers dur
ing last year were delinquent in making
tax returns.
In concluding, Mr.. Richards stressed
the need Of more space for the as
SCISSORS Office, stating that crowded
working conditions lessen efficiency.
Discussing the development of high
school courses in recent years, based
upon practical training, Mr.. Daniel
said that the vocational school is
successful result of this new educa-
tional trend. This type of school, he
said, since 1t stresses practice rather
than theory, gives the student positive
working ability.
A resolution, condemning police lax
ity in enforcing parking regulations at
street car stops in the community, con-
cluded the meeting.

GLASSMAN GARAGES .
WILL BE PADLOCKED
Judge Stafford Rules Nuisance Ex-
listed Which Owners Could
Have Seen.

From the $50 Edition Of Yesterdays Star.
Justice Stafford of the District SUI
preme Court today ruled that there
existed a nuisance within the meaning
of the national prohibition act at the
two garages conducted By Herbert
Glassman at 2101 Fourteenth street
and 1909 L street and said he would
order the padlocking of both places
for one year.
The court held that Francis w. Hill
and Henry Sherry, owners of the two
properties, even If they did not have
actual knowledge of the use being made
OF the properties, were liable under the
law when they had reasonable cause to
believe that the law was being violated
and did not take the trouble to make a
personal investigation.
"A watch of one week." said the
court, would have disclosed that great
truckloads of whisky were being brought
into the garages at all hours of the
nlgnt. This was not case of a few
bottles OF whisky being found in a
premises. When landlords learn they
are liable for failure to make thorough
investigation after reasonable cause to
believe the law has been violated they
VIII not. trust to an inquiry by an
agent who accepts the word of the
lessee that there are no law violations"
Injunctions will be granted against
Herbert Glassman, the proprietor; and
his brother, David GlaSsman, and 10
other defendants who are said to have
been employed at the two garages.

Of Premier Chautemps that the new
French delegates would arrive tomor-
row ready to take up the work where
it was left OF last week by the down.
fall of the Tardieu ministry.
1t was understood the conversation
was general and did not touch on
questions of policy.
Paris Reports Are Pessimistic.
At the same time, news reports reach
ing London from Paris made it appear
doubtful whether Chautemps would
gain a vote of confidence tonight and
these cast a new gloom over conference
circles.
Prime Minister Macdonald, assuming
that the French delegation will arrive
OF the heads Of delegations Thursday
morning.
The British spokesman today said
that a three-power pact-that is, the
United States, Great Britain and Japan
has never been considered as a way
out of the difficulty arising from the
French political crisis. He said such
pact would not be considered construc-
tive inaSmuch as 1t was recognized that
an effective disarmament agreement
must include France.
Indeed, he said, such fact would
be a drawback when the disarmament
question finally comes up at Geneva.
The spokesman added that the dele
gates were SO hopeful and confident
flve-power agreement would be reached
in London that reports of other treaties
could be considered only as casual talk.
Mediterranean Pact Outside Scope.
Regarding a Mediterranean pact, he
said, no formal proposal for such had
ever been made. He said, however,
there had been vague references to the
political background of the disarma-
ment situation. He emphasized that
the only place where Mediterranean
pact could be formally discussed was
at a conference attended by all Medi-
terranean countries. Therefore a
Mediterranean security pact was def
nitely outside the scope of the London
Conference.
The spokesman also stated there was
no intention of engaging the scope of
the London Conference to include the
freedom of the seas, neutral rights and
related questions.
The experts subcommittee was again
in session at st. James Palace today.
1t was understood to have reached a
virtual agreement on all points arising
from the question of special ships not
included in specified categories. Final
touches were being put upon its re-
port this afternoon for presentation to
the first committee.

HOOVER ABOL|SHES
OLD BUDGET PLAN
Preliminary Estimates De-
CIared Unnecessary Under
Strict Economy Policy.

Abolishing preliminary estimates"
President Hoover, through his Bureau
of the Budget, has notified all depart
ments and establishments of the Gov
eminent that in planning for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1882, he empha-
sizes the need for the strictest economy
in Federal expenditures"
Notice to the Government heads has
been sent out at an unusually early
time of year by j. Clawson Roop, di-
rector of the Bureau of the Budget.
He announces that the official call for
estimates will be furnished soon. Pre-
liminary estimates will not be required"
declares Director Roop. 1t is big
change from past procedure.
This move by the administration is in
line with the policy discussed at the
White House by the Government fiscal
chieftains, yesterday.
No Specific Limitations.
1.-THE President asks me to say that,
while he desires to emphasize the need
for the strictest economy in Federal
expenditures" said Director Roop, che
does not wish to indicate any specific
limit upon the total amount within
which the estimates of appropriations
for any department or establishment
will be submitted, but rather to invite
attention to the increased responsibility
which, this procedure places on the
heads of departments and establish
ments to cooperate with him in realiz-
ing this economy by giving the most
careful scrutiny to each item in the
estimates"
ct is contemplated, said Col. Roop,
that the estimates of appropriations
will be accompanied by explanations
and justifications of each item, and
statements showing increases requested
over the appropriations for the fiscal
year 1881, the order of priority for such
increases, and probable supplemental
estimates for the fiscal year 1881. De-
tailed instructions concerning the prep
aration of the estimates and accom-
panying papers viii be furnished at an
early date"
The biggest change effected by this
early announcement to Government
heads is that it abolishes the time hon
ored precedent of preliminary esti-
mates" which heretofore have been
submitted.
Bureau Made ALLEGATIONS"
Under the procedure used by previous
directors of the Bureau of the Budget,
the departments and establishments
have been asked to submit preliminary
estimates. These went to the Bureau
of the Budget, which put them all
together, and resubmitted them to the
departments, with what was known as
ALLEGATIONS" The departments were
supposed to bring their final estimates
down to these ALLEGATIONS, which were
always several million dollars short of
the preliminaries
