lice homicide squad.
William Bullock, 33. the man wanted,

cation easy, Sergt Wilson said.
Shinault was killed when he went
with fellow officer to house in the

REALTORS CALLED
IN PHONE INQUIRY
Appraisal Committee Mem.
bers to Testify in Rate
Hearing Today.

Harold E. Doyle and John F. Maury
members of the Appraisal Committee
of the Washington Real Estate Board
will be presented as witnesses on land
values by the Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Co. this afternoon when the
hearing before the Public Utilities Com
mission on reduction OF Washington
telephone rates is resumed.
The company began the introduction
of it's case yesterday with testimony
from Harry c. Gretz, general auditor
as to the financial condition OF the
company up to June, 1882. The figures
produced earlier by the commission
stopped at December, 1881.
Revenue Held Cut
Exhibits introduced by Mr.. Gretz
showed net telephone revenues for 1881
were S2.262, 2,522. For the II months
ended June 80, 1882, they had faller
to S2120,492, an the year 1882, on the
basis of the first six months figures
will show further decline to sl,946,962
Introduction of the dial system on
some of the exchanges has not had the
effect of reducing telephone expenses,
largely, it is said, because of the in
cidence of large homecoming expendi-
lures, increased taxation and increased
traffic expenses. The telephone ex-
penses for the same periods mentioned
above were S7,100,564, S7,43l, $50 and
s7,790,O46. This upward curve has more
than offset the rising telephone reve-
nues, which, again for the same periods
were reported as s9,363 086, s9,552, ,05l
and $9,737, ,008.
Plant Account Increases.
The average plant in service during
the periods was reported as $50, ,594 887
S31,384,551 and $31,9l4,254. The COM
bination of declining net revenues ano
increasing plant account resulted in de-
clining returns on the property in serv-
ice, according to the Gretz exhibit, The
figures for the same periods being TAI
per cent, 675 per cent and 6.10 PEI
cent.
One of the exhibits contains calcu
lation of the effect on the ratio of re-
turn to plant in service had the in
creased Federal taxation been in effec
during the whole of the three periods
The returns then would have been 7.20
6.55 and 594 per cent, respectively.

Library Provides
For Readers While
Furloughs Are On
5 Subbranches to Close,
but Patrons Can Keep
Books in Interim.

Forced to close five subbranches from
August % to September 10. inclusive,
in order to comply with the provisions
of the economy act, the District Public
Library announced today it would per-
NIT patrons of these branches to OBJ

to close the branches to cover the re-
quired furlough schedule.
The agencies affected are the Chevy
Chase, Tenley, Conduit road. Eastern
High and Woodbridge subbranches.
Books borrowed before August %
from these branches may be returned

New Structure Would House
Monkeys, Great Apes, Ro-
dents and Small Animals.
LIBRARY SEEKS FUND
FOR BIGGER QUARTERS
$53 200 Sought by Traffic Depart
ment to Extend System of
Signal Lights.

A request for new building for small
mammals, to cost S25O,OoO, is largely
responsible for the increase in the es-
Inmates of the cost of running the Zoo
in 1884 over the amount appropriated
for 1888, the estimates, made public
today, show. The total appropriation
for 1888 is S228,880 and the estimates
for 1884 are $4,000.
The house is for small animals, ro-
dents, gibbons and great apes. The es-
Inmates state at at present there are no
quarters at all to exhibit these interest
ing species and this building is most
needed.
Want Big Buildings.
1t is the idea of the Zoo officials to
gather the animals into a few large
buildings rather than into large num-
Der of smaller structures, to better pre-
serve the natural beauties of the park.
The institution already has large bird
house and snake house. No increase In
the personnel or extra money for step
ups is asked. Various repair and land
scaping jobs account for the balance
OF the difference.
Among the estimates made public
yesterday, those for the Free Public
Library are $566,800, as against a 1888
appropriation of $422,200. DR.. George
F. Bowerman, public librarian asks Tor
81 new positions in the library sys-
tenn. He seeks $4,000 for preparation
of plans for the construction OF two
additional wings to the central library,
which would be constructed over
four-year period at a cost OF S6oO,OOo.
Staff Held Cramped.
The library staff and readers are
quite cramped in their present quar-
tiers and part of the force has over
flowed into the Metropolitan Methodist
Church building. at John Marshall
place and C street. Use OF the site Tor
the two wing extensions has been ap-
proved by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
Another request is for $4,000 to be-
gin construction of the Georgetown
Branch Library, project which VIII
ultimately cost S150,0O0. The Budget
Bureau reported this item favorably
last year. but it was struck out by Con-
gress. A request for $4,000 for prepa-
ration of plans for a library for the
Petworth section also is made.
Estimates of the Department OF
Vehicles and Traffic rose 5l,840 over
the 1888 appropriations to S2E3,220. OF
the 1884 estimates, s53200 is asked for
improving and enlarging. the traffic
light system.

POSTAL OFFICIALS
DISTRIBUTE WORK
Jobs Spread Out Among Sub.
stitutes Where Possible,
Mead Is Informed.

The Post Office Department is ad
herring to its policy of distributing sub
stitute work for clerks and carriers
among all substitutes rather than on
seniority alone where this rule is FEAST
bic from a service standpoint. the de-
partment today informed Chairman
Mead of the House Post Office Commit
tee Where the work cannot be divided
advantageously to the service the usual
practice is to give preference to the
senior men. the department advised.
The department also informed Mr..
Mead as to the situation regarding
clerks in second-class Offices which were
relegated to third-class Offices on July l..
Seek Jobs for Clerks.
On this question First Assistant Post
master General Coleman wrote
In past years where offices we're rel
egated to the third class, the depart
ment, in a few instances, was able to
find places for the clerks, but this year
such a course has been impossible due
to the fact that 1876 Offices were reie-
gated to the third class and the fur
ther fact that in many OfnceS tnere
was a surplus of employees. In those
instances where it is necessary to NIL
vacancies, it is the departments pur-
pose to transfer employees from offices
which are overmanned or have sur
plus employees.
Unfortunately. no solution has been
found to take care of these worthy
clerks who lost their positions through
no fault of their own"
Economy Program Blamed.
In referring to the substitute problem,
the department told Mr.. Mead his
understanding is correct that the policy
of the department is to appoint add
tional regular carriers whenever eight
hours service is required permanently
on an auxiliary route, but If it should
happen, as under present conditions,
that the amount of mail on a route
decreases so that only six hours or less
are required for adequate service, then
substitute service is utilized.
Representative Mead, who has pro-
tested the Post Office Department ban
on military leave, yesterday was ADVISED
by Postmaster General Brown that the
governmental economy program was
responsible for this action.
