 World Conference
 . Washington, May 13-OP)- Summarizing the conferences with foreign envoys during the last three weeks. Secretary of State Hull said today that they had greatly accentuated the chances of a final attack on the depression at the world economic conference.
 The secretary said the talks had shed light on the objects and pur- poses of the conference and had promoted a better understanding of the problems to arise in Lon- don.
 As a result of this preparation, Hull anticipated that the promary objects of the conference might be attained within two months. In this statement he showed himself more optimistic than some of his advisers who have privately pre- dicted that four or five montrs might be required for the London meeting.
 Hull declined to discuss his talks with foreign statesmen in detail. sonfining himself to gen. eralizations.
 He said the American delega- tion to London probably would sail from New York May 31 aboard the steamer President Roosevelt. The personnel of the delegation, he added, has not been decided upon definitely. From other sources however, it was understood that Hull himself will be chairman.
 Having nearly concluded the series of preparatory economic talks with Major Powers, Hull ex- poets to begin next week a series of conferences with the resident envoys of the smaller nations. Vir- tually every countxy in the world has been invited to exchange views with the United States on the work of the London confer ence.

CASES GAIN

Use of policemen to make buys
in liquor cases is gaining in favor,
to judge from cases filed in Police
Court today, of which a large
percentage were made by police.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney David A. Hart refused to say
whether this practice is the out
growth of proposed legislation
which would prohibit the use of
Federal funds for paying stool
pigeons" He admitted, however,
that the bill, if passed. will prac-
tically paralyze local enforcement
since all raids on private homes
here must be predicated on pur.
ChaSes of liquor.
One drawback to the use of
policemen, however, will be lack
of funds with which to buy liquor.
as the bill also prohibits use of
Federal money for this purpose.
Among cases brought in today
were two in which Policeman o.
j. See. Eleventh precinct,
claimed to have bought liquor
from the defendants. Those
charged are Myrtle Jones, 35, the
1900 block Nichols Ave. S. E.,
and George w. Parker, 26, and
Paul Feirdend, 81, of the 5000
block Nichols Ave. S. E. They
demanded jury trials.

Two Junior High Buildings
Needed to Ease Conges-

Congestion in w a hin g o n
Junior high schools would be
greatly relieved If two items for
schoolhouse construction, stricken
from the public school estimates
by the Bureau of the Budget,
were included in the 1884 appro-
priation by Congress, it was
pointed out today.
Explaining that the estimates
were prepared with the utmost
economy in mind, school officials
stressed the need for the Jeffer-
son Junior High and the Junior
high in AnacoStia.
The estimates of $315,000 for
the jefferson and $225,0 for
the Anacostia school were ap-
proved by the District Commits
sioners but cut out by the Budget
Bureau.
Several of the junior high
schools. it was explained. carry
enrollments in excess of their
capacity.
Of estimates for $2,543,920 for
buildings asked ~ the schools,
only $937,000 remains in the
budget now before Congress.

Tangible Tax Rise Expected
to Bring In 100000;
"Lump Sum" Faces Cut

Closing down Washington's two
incinerators and dumping of gar
bage in nearby Virginia was un.
der consideration today by the
House Appropriation subcommit-
tee for the District of Columbia
to meet the $1,25O,OOO appropria-
tion necessary for unemployment
relief in the District during the
present year.
This proposition, along with
several others, will be reduced to
writing late today at a meeting
of the subcommittee when it be-
gins marking up a 1884 District
supply bill.
Based On Tax Rise
Another proposition is based on
an increased tax on tangible prop
erty, which is expected to bring
in increased revenues approximat-
ing 100000.
Closing down of the incinerators,
one of which is located in
Georgetown and the other near
the Navy Yard, according to es-
Inmates, will save several hundred
thousand dollars over and above
the additional cost of transport
ing garbage to Virginia dumps.
Take Up lump Sum-
At the meeting today the sub
committee also is scheduled to
take up the question of the
Federal contribution to the Dis
trict. The subcommittee favors
the sum of $7,775,OOO, but has
been told that an effort will be
made on the floor to reduce it
to $6,500,000, the sum recon-
mended by the Mapes committee.
The committee feels that it
must impress on District resi-
dents the fact that the $625 900,
appropriation for relief contained
in the deficiency bill which went
back to the President today, and
the other $625,000, which will
be included in the 1884 supply
bill, is not to come from the
Federal Treasury. For this
reason, the members believe
there should be some additional
tax or curtailment of District
service.

Schools Hardest Hit
BY Economy Moves

A survey of municipal budgets
throughout the country reveals
that public schools are suffering
the most from the widespread at
temptS at economy.
Bankers are seen to exercise
the greatest control for the worst
on most school budgets. In New
York, it is pointed out, demands
have been made on the city for
cuts in the school expenditures.
The bankers are reinforcing this
demand with the ultimatum that
unless it is agreed to they will
lend no more money to the cities.
Conditions throughout the coun.
try indicate that numerous modi-
fiCationS will be made in the
school program, including cuts in
the number of school hours and
days, with the result, it is pointed
out, that American children will
be deprived of the educational
opportunities formerly provided
them.
