WALKER PLANNING
APPEAL TO COURT
Defense Lays Groundwork
for Legal Action in Case
Governor Orders 0usting.
Rv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, August 13-The
courts. and not Gov. Roosevelt, may
have the last word in the Walker case.
That the defense intends to turn to
the courts II the Governors decision Is
against Mayor Walker has been indi-
Gated by the legal exceptions taken to
two of Mr.. Roosevelt's rulings at the
hearing in the executive chamber on the
charges against the mayor.
The defense has challenged the Gov
ernor's right to scrutinize the mayors
first term and also his admission of
Hofstadter Committee findings as evi-
dence. John J. Curtin, Walkers at
torney, took exceptions yesterday on
both these grounds.
There was no hint as to how such an
appeal would be taken. ...
Move to Halt Hearing.
Legal steps to restrain the Governor
from entertaining the Seabury charges
against the mayor or from oust{ng
Walker already have been taken by
George Donnelly, a home rule ad-
vocate, on the ground that the Gov
ernor has no authority to sit in
judgment. 1t Is based on the fact
that the State constitution does not say
specifically that the Governor shall have
the power to remove the mayor of
city. The constitution says merely that
cities shall have the power to adopt
local laws relating, among other things,
to the mode of selection and removal"
Of their officials.
However, a special provision Of the
New York City charter, believed based
on this part of the constitution, brings
the mayor and the commissioner OF
pollce under the law as 1t relates to the
removal OF county officials, ON which
the constitution Is very specific This
has never been ruled on by the courts.
Will withhold Decision.
While the Governors counsel holds
the executive has the authority to sit
IN Judgment on the mayor, the chal-
lenge OF this right has already resulted
in the Governor agreeing to withhold
his decision until after the Supreme
Court meets August l9 to rule on the
question.
Donnelly merely secured an order
calling on the Governor to show cause
why he should not be restrained. There
was no restraining writ issued, and the
Governor could have gone ahead and
announced his decision prior to the
show-cause hearing, but he agreed to
withhold it until that cate as a mat
ter OF judicial courtesy. He did not in
dicate how soon he might make his
decision after August 10, or what ac-
tion he might take should the court
ruling be against him.
The hearing was in recess today until
Monday. Gov. Roosevelt was in Hyde
PARK and Mayor Walker had gone to
New York Mrs Walker. who has been
i'll, remained at her Albany hotel. The
strain of the first days hearing, Thurs
day, which she attended, was more than
she had expected.

Commissioners Make Esti-
mates for 1894 Fiscal
Period Public.
ECONOMY COMMITTEE
REPORT Is WITHHELD
No Funds Will Be Sought for Con.
tinuation Of Municipal Center
Work, Report Indicates.

The District Commissioners late yes
terday made public requests Of their
various department heads for appro-
priations for operating the municipal
establishment in the 1884 fiscal year.
Totaling s48. 8.124,000, they represent g
slash Of approximately 100000 from
the total of $57,000,0oo requested by
the department heads for operations
during the current year.
Although the estimates have been
revised both by the Economy Committee
and by the Commissioners themselves,
the Commissioners decided not to pub
lish the Economy Committees revised
budget, although Daniel J. Donovan,
chairman of the committee, had an
nounced several times previously that
his committees report would be given
to the press.
Differ With Results.
Dr. Luther H. Reichelderfer, chairman
OF the board, last night said that the
Commissioners were well satisfied with
the committees work, but that they had
differed with the results reached with
the committee in many respects and had
decided not to make the report public
The twice-revised estimates win now
go to the Bureau of the Budget, which,
after extended hearings. will submit
them to Congress. Under the budget
act the Commissioners are not allowed
to divu,ge their own budget requests.
The budget requests, as a whole, are
extremely conservative, and it is not
believed that there will be any very
drastic slashes before they reach the
Budget Bureau. Department heads
had been warned to hold their esti-
mates to the minimum, and in most
cases this warning was faithfully OBJ
served.
Municipal Center Left Out.
One striking feature Of the estimates
Is that not a penny was asked for
continuance Of the work on the munic-
ipal center. Apparently this project
has been abandoned, to be taken up
again in more prosperous times. There
is an appropriation of $22z, 900 for this
work In the current appropriation act,
with an authorization for the use Of
$1,278,000 of unexpended balances of
previous appropriations, making total
OF 81 500, 900.
An accompanying table shows In the
case of each department or account
the amount appropriated for the cur
rent fiscal year, together with the
amount requested for the 1884 fiscal
year. There are also detailed accounts
Of the items requested for the cityis

Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
At least another 100000 900 reduc-
ton In Federal expenses is expected of
the next session of Congress by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
Henry T. Hartman, president of the
Chamber, said SO in statement today
as the Executive Committee of the nom
governmental agency met.
Federal appropriations for this year
are $500 000, 900 less than those for last
year, he said, adding:
Analysis of the appropriations made
by Congress for the current fiscal year
- makes 1t clear that 1t Is reason
able to expect Congress, during the
coming Winter to reduce them
further by at least . . 100000, 600" ;"
Favors 1925 Pay Scale.
He suggested that Federal activities
in existence now and In 1925 be placed
on the same basis, including salaries.
as in 1925: that public construction and
public works be reduced $500, ,0o0. 600;
that veterans administration appro-
priations be slashed s100,000,000, and
that $3.50, 900 900 be saved by abandon
ment Of only part Of the activities
which the chamber has repeatedly
opposed for the reason that they are
improperly competitive with private
enterprise.
Hartman said the public works saw
ings estimate was based upon conclu-
sions of the Federal Employment Stab
ilization Board that Federal expendi-
lures for these purposes would be 1924
900, 900 for the current year.
Saving on Construction.
Because he believed that much. OF
this years $500 900, 900 appropriated for
the purpose could not be spent until
next year, Hartman contended the
S2OO. 600 900 reduction in appropriations
could be made while still leaving large
construction outlays.
The saving in veterans appropria-
tions. he argued, could be obtained
without reducing any benefits paid for
service-connected disability, partly on
the basis of reduced cost Of admins
tration
He recalled appointment Of joint
congressional committee, which is to
investigate and report to the coming
session of Congress on possible veterans
reductions.

NEW ISSUE RAISED
IN ECONOMY BILL
Trade Commission Uncertain
FurIoughed Employees Can
Be Dismissed.

Another problem bobbed up today in
administration of the economy bill
when it was made known that the Fed
eral Trade Commission is proposing to
ask Controller General McCarl II en-
ployes on indefinite furlough as a
savings proposition may be dismissed.
The Trade Commission has go whose
services are no longer needed and who
were furloughed indefinitely that their
salaries might be used to take care of
other workers. Under McCarl's ruling,
however, one-twelfth of this money
must be impounded. unless the workers
could be cut of the pay roll entirely,
and the commission needs this money,
amounting approximately to $4,000.
Uncertain on Policy.
Ordinarily, any employe may be taken
out of service when there is no further
work for them. but the economy bill
directs" that furloughs be used where
it is a question of making savings tc
spread employment, and the commission
consequently. it was said, does net know
Just where 1t stands.
II these employees may be taken of Of
the rolls, about 10 or IL others who are
needed must stand an additional cut, 1t
was said
The so in question have been en-
gagged in the extensive chain stores in
quiry which the commission has been
conducting, but which is just about
cleaned up now.
Five-Day Week Ended.
The Federal Farm Board recently cut
off IS experts" as an economy move.
The Civil Service Commission today
came off of the five-day week, follow
ing McCarls ruling that where the leg
islative furlough Is thus absorbed, the
pay deduction must be one-eleventh in
stead Of one-twelfth.
