BUILDING PLANS
HIT BY NEW
REDUCTION
Education Budget, One third
Of District Total, Slated to
Suffer, Haycock Reminds

With the 1884 school esti-
mates pared to the bone be-
fore their submission to tie
District Commissioners. a fur
ther slash under the $1O,0U0,-
600 reduction announced by
the District heads for the mu-
nicipal estimates will prove
disastrous to the development
of the local public schools; it
was asserted today by Robert
L. Haycock, acting s,trerin-
tendent of schools.
The school estimates, as sub
mitted by school officials, total
$13,899, 1884, which is only slightly
more than the 1888 budget, al
lowing $12,162,73O. The schools
request five land purchases and
20 building projects, with an esti-
mated cost of $2,918,920.
Costs Kept Down
In accordance with the warn.
ing of Auditor Daniel J. Dono-
van, chairman of the D. E. econ.
omy committee, the strictest econ
omy was observed by school
officials in preparing the esti-
mates.
Because the high school budget
comprises one-third of the entire
District budget, the $10,000,000
slash will seriously affect the
schools, Mr.. Haycock pointed out.
Lump Sum Factor
A great deal depends on whether
Congress allows the usual $780,
900 Federal lump sum to the Dis
trict or whether it cuts this
amount to the $S,55O,0OO of this
year, he said.
The estimates as submitted by
the various District department
heads totaled $48,124,226. The
revised report of the Commission
ers and the economy committee
will be j the hands of the Bureau
of the Budget by September /.

BUILDERS WANT.
WAGE GUT TEST.

A request of the Building
Trades Employers Association for
test case" under the prevail
ing wage scale provided by the
Bacon-Davis law, which it con-
tends will prove that the present
scale is out of balance with exist,
ing conditions, was referred by
the District Commissioners today
to Corporation Counsel William
w. Bride for report.
The association asked the COM
missioners to cite a specific case
before Secretary of Labor William
Doak as referee. pointing out that
changed conditions in the labor
market has caused a definite
downward trend which should be
officially recognized.
The associations letter declared
that the Washington Building
Trades Council has agreed with
the employers organization to
recommend to it's members reduc-
tions of 10 per cent for trades
receiving $40 a day and less and
IA per cent for trades receiving
more than $10 per day

BUSINESS HIGH.
RELIEVES JAM

The most serious congestion In
the District colored schools will
be relieved with the opening of
the old Business High School,
Ninth Street and Rhode Island
Avenue Northwest, to two colored
school units, it was learned to-
day from Robert L. Haycock. act
ing superintendent of schools.
With the completion of the new
$1,500,000 Roosevelt High School,
Thirteenth and Upshur Streets
Northwest, which will replace the
business school in September. the
old building will be opened to
Cardozo High School and new
elementary school unit.
Cardozo High will move from
its present quarters at First and
M Streets Northwest. to the Busi-
ness High and l6 rooms of the
building will be allocated to the
new elementary school.
This will leave the M Street
building open for new Colored
Junior high school unit, which
will be created in the fall.
The elementary school, Nj.
Haycock explained, will do away
with several portables at the
Cleveland and Garrison schools
and will relieve part-time classes
in various schools in that section.

While general lookout is
being made in cities along the
Atlantic Coast for William
Bullock, colored, of Fountain
Inn, S. c., alleged slayer of
Patrolman George w. Shinault,
Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glass
ford, superintendent of police,
today ordered all police sta
tion flags at half staff in
memory of the dead police
man.
Shinault, who three weeks ago
shot and killed William Hushka,
war veteran of the B, E. F., was
shot and instantly killed last night
as he stepped into the doorway of
house at 80 F st. N. w., where
a fight was in progress between
a colored man and woman.
Didn't Draw His Gun
Accompanied by Pa tr olman
Ralph D. Edwards, Shinault re-
ported to the scene of the fight
after just answering a call to
Union Station Plaza where James
Nichols, 31-year-old Georgetown
University instructor, had dropped
dead of an attack of epilepsy.
They had sent the dead man to
a hospital and had just returned
to their radio car when ordered
to the F Street address.
Edwards drove the car. AS

house Shinault jumped from the
car and ran to the doorway where

1t is good that one policeman at least cannot
make fortune while on duty Perhaps there are
several thousand like him, and this is only who is
so enamored of law-enforcement that, after having
patroed and warned and arrested all day in uniform,
he slips into multi for little more and more profit

marksman, did not have a chance
to draw his gun. He was pro-
nounced dead at Casualty Hos

Pistol Is Missing
Police were told that Bullock,

was the one that fired the shots
that killed the policeman.
At Casualty Hospital it was
found that Shinault's service
pistol was missing, and police
are of the opinion it was stolen
by someone in the crowd that
gathered around his body after
he was shot.
Following the Staying, police
arrested Susie Fletcher, 81, whom
Bullock was beating, according
