banteringly added: II have some Of
your blood coursing through my veins.
Now, what relation are we?"
All through her convalescence, Mrs.
Borah said she's been reading about
the health heroes who inhabit the RAM
bling red brick laboratory on the Poto-
macs bank, particularly Paul De
Kruef's book about them-"Man
Against Death"
She said she wanted to meet more
of them, and to see them working with
microscopes and test tubes, rabbits and
rats, making discoveries that would save
lives-as miraculously as hers had been
saved
So, with Armstrong and the surgeon
general as guides, she explored rooms
filled with cultures and cages, queer
odors and queerer experiments.

DEFICIENCY BILL,
WITH S6O5,A9 D. C.
ITEMS, FORWARDED
More Than Half of Total Is
for Adjustments on Street
Projects.
$217,399 FOR REFUNDS
UNDER B0RLAND LAW
Details of Appropriations Request
ed to Be Made Public When
Measure Reaches Congress.

The second 1888 deficiency appropria-
tion bill, bearing items totaling $605,349
for the District was forwarded today to
the Budget Bureau by the District
Commissioners Immediately following
completion Of the estimates by Maj.
Daniel j. Donovan, District auditor.
Details Of the new appropriations re-
quested will be made public when the
measure has been transmitted to Con-
gres by the bureau. The known re-
quirements placed on the District gov
eminent by reason of law and court
decisions, however, show that 1925, ,399,
or more than half the total is for re-
funds or adjustments to be paid to
property owners for street improvement
leVies which they already have met.
Street Improvements Refund.
Included in the requested deficiency
appropriations is an item for S217,399
for refunds to property owners of pay
ments made for street improvements,
this resulting from operation Of the new
Borland law, which was enacted Febru-
airy 20, 1891 This act directed the
District Commissioners to refund with
IN the limit of appropriations by Con-
gress to persons paying such levies, the
excess over the amounts due under
reassessment of the properties.
Reassessments of such properties has
been made and Congress has been asked
TO appropriate the necessary funds to
make the refunds. Several thousand
property owners, 1t Is estimated, are af-
fected by the reasseSsmeht and the ap-
propriations now asked.
The new law was enacted as a result
Of decisions by the District Court of
Appeals, adverse to the District, in cases
brought by owners protesting the
amounts of levies for street improve
ment. The new law set up new basis
for such benefit assessments.
Item to Cover Judgments.
Also included In the second deficiency
bill Is an item for 100000 to cover
judgments against the District handed
down In District courts involving ap-
peals from assessments for street i'm
provements within the time limit Of
three years following approval of the
new street assessment law.
The bill also carries an appropriation
item Of ST., 1888 to cover judgments made
against the District government In court
and not associated with the street as
sessment matter.
Last year In deficiency bill, It Is re-
called, there was an appropriation item
OF S145,O 200 to property owners for as
sessments for street improvements.
The first 1888 deficiency bill, which
now is in Congress, provided for an ap-
preparation of $625, 700 for emergency
relief purposes.

FUND TO BURY BABY
Child Suffocated Accidental
Iy Is Held at District
Morgue.

The body of Edward Hudgins, two
month-old victim of an accidental suf-
location, lay at the District Morgue to-
day while his 16-year-old mother, Alice

The infant was boarding with Mrs.
Aolhnhofer and supported through an
order OF the Juvenile Court by Edward
Grinder, 80, 900 block of New York ave-
nue., who was adjudged the father.
The girl mother told authorities she
had no money to bury her baby, but
would do her best to raise the sum in
a few days. Meanwhile, the body was
being held at the Morgue and will be
buried by the District If the mother
does not claim it.
Mrs. Zollinhofer said she took the
child into her bed because of the in
tense cold Wednesday night and was
not aware anything was amiss until she
lifted the covers from the baby on aris-
ing yesterday.
Takes Child Boarders.
Mrs. zollinhofer, herself the mother
Of seven children, said the accident was
unavoidable. The woman, a widow. is
caring for three other child boarders as

Mrs. Zollinhofer that action would be
taken against her unless she obtains

issued free, but only to persons properly
qualified to care for children. Mrs

LARGEST STORK NEAR AQUARIUM
FOR BIRTH OF 100000 HERRING
Eggs Expected Begin Popping Open Like Popcorn by
Middle of Next Week.

The largest stork ever to visit Wash
ington was reported lowering over the
Commerce Department Building today,
as attendants in the Bureau of Fisheries
aquarium made speedy preparation for
the birth of 10000 lake herring in a
small hatchery in this exhibition room.
Ten Of the wholesale number of eggs
were Matched this morning, warning
Director Fred G. Crisinger that he
would have on hand by next Wednesday
a gigantic birthday party.
Officials estimated that by the mid
die of next week eggs would be popping
open like popcorn in roaster, and
they asserted that it will be the great
est exhibition of its kind ever staged
here. Several years ago, in its old
aquarium, the bureau hatched out 500,-
600 shad, but this is the first time it
has ever ventured into the $50. 900 class.
Each of the 10 babies born today
carried q knapsack on his back with
four days supply of food. As they came

out of the eggs held in two large jars,
they fell into small tank, and began
swimming around like they were quite
used to their surroundings.
Four days from now they will drop
into larger tank, where aquarium
attendants will begin to feed them. The
same procedure will follow when the
main army begins to hatch next week.
The little fellows will be kept on ex-
hibition until they have grown about
three inches, and will then be emptied
into the Potomac River, officials said.

officials for the herring hatchery was
set up with anticipation of wholesale
birthday during Inaugural week. How
ever, it was explained today that the
water from the city main supplying the
hatchery proved too warm and hastened
the visit of the stork. The eggs were
shipped here from the Cape Vincent
station in New York State Their
mothers are now reported icebound in
Lake Ontario.
