HEARINGS OPEN
ON "a BUDGET
OCTOBER ID
District Funds for Year to Be
"Cut to Bone";; Revenue
Loss Brings Slash

- Hearings on the 1884 Dis
trict appropriation bill will
begin at the Bureau of the
Budget October 10 and prob
ably last for two weeks while
the Commissioners recon-
mendations are being con-
sidered.
Reductions in estimates sub
mitted by District bureau chiefs
to the Commissioners were $48,-
$4,000, a cut of approximately
$10,000,000 in the estimates
which were suggested for the cur
rent year. The Commissioners are
said to have pruned even further
so that the recommendation for
1884 will be slashed to the bone.
Losses Expected
Revenue losses this year and
expected curtailments next year
make necessary the drastic cut in
proposed appropriations, officials
say.
The Budget Bureau will study
the financial condition of the
District, determine whether any
unexpended balances remain and
decide what recommendation will
be made regarding the amount
of Federal contribution to local
funds.
u. S. Aid Pared
After long and bitter controversy
between the House and Senate in
the last session, the Federal con-
tribution was fixed at $7,775,0 900
for the year instead of at $9,50O,-
900 as had previously been con-
tributed. The entire subject will
probably be rehashed at the next
term of Congress after the Budget
Bureau makes its recommends
ton.
Regardless of elections in No
vember the Congress which con-
Venes in December will be the same
as at the last term and is expected
to have unaltered views on Fed
eral contribution.

CAFE EMPLOYE
HELD IN THEFT

Miss Katherine Glover, one of
the managers of the Allies Inn,
exchanged friendly greetings with
an employe of the inn, Henrietta
Jackson, colored, when they met
on the street some days ago.
But the meeting became less
friendly when Miss Glover, a mo-
ment later, spied a topaz pendant
which belonged to her around
Henrietta's neck. according to
testimony today before Police
Court Judge Gus A. Schuldt.
Miss Glover today asked that
the employe, who was charged
with larceny, be placed on proba-
ton. The woman had a previous
good record. Judge Schuldt took
the case under advisement.
Miss Glover testified that the
pendant was taken from a bu-
reau in her room at the inn.

ably been told that the Follies are
great American institution and that
the name of their founder should be

But you cannot forget that the first
