SMALL BUDGET
To CLOSE D. c.
|NC|NERATOR
Southeast Plant Will Cease
Action June 30; Highway
Laboratory Also Hit

The first effects of the re-
trenchment by the District neceS-
STATED under the greatly reduced
supply bill for 1884 was seen to-
day as Major John c. GotwalS,
engineer commissioner, began
plans for the closing, on June 80,
Of an incinerator and the High
way Department laboratory.
The Southeast incinerator will
be closed because there will be
no operation funds during the
coming year. It will remain locked
up until July l, 1884 and will be
reopened then only if the 1885
supply bill carries funds for its
operation.
Closing of the Southeast in
cinerator leaves the District with
only one plant for the burning of
refuse. This plant, located in
Georgetown, will take care of the
refuse from apartment houses,
small hotels and private homes,
collected by the District.
Commercial refuse, from large
hotels, restaurants and like insti-
tutions, which has heretofore
been taken to the incine- tor in
private trucks, can no longer be
handled, Major GotNals said. It
is expected that this trash will be
burned on private dumps, as was
done before the District had
facilities to handle it.
The Highway laboratory will
also be locked up for at least a
year. This laboratory has been
used for the testing Of roadway
materials, such as concrete and
asphalt, to determine their dur
ability. -he Bureau Of Standards
will be asked to make these tests
in the future, Major Gotwals said.

Lie DetectOr
Broken By
Mopper

What did Eugene Minoux,
president of the Georgia Ave-
nue. Business Mems Association,
say that put the ''lie detector"
out of commission?
The question is puzzling the
Central Business Mems AsSo-
citation, which last night was
host to all presidents of the
various business mems associ-
ations in town.
The men were tested on the
lie detector and when they
told the truth, a whistle blew.
When they didn't a horn blew.
When Minoux took his place
at the machine, he said some
thing and the thing blew up,
shooting an electric shock
through his body. He said he
couldn't remember what he said.

did some work aboard the U. S.
patrol boat Dart.
When he was paid off he was
docked $5.13, and on complaining

DISTRICT PROBE
To CARRY ON

Although the House failed to
appropriate $4,000 needed to fur
ther an investigation of District
affairs during the summer, the
probe is not definitely off, but
will be undertaken during the
regular session of Congress.
This was announced today at
athe House District Committee
offices in the absence of Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton CD of
New Jersey, committee chairman,
who is at her home in Jersey
City recovering from a severe
illness.
Plans for carrying on the in
vestigation during the summer
had all been completed and would
have been followed if Chairman
Norton had not been stricken
during the closing days of the
special session, it was said.
Chairman Norton, her office
said, had made all arrangements
to put through the resolution to
appropriate the needed funds, but
was too ill to discuss them with
other members of the committee.
Representative Vincent L.
Palmisano (D.) of Maryland, who
was named to head the special
investigating subcommittee, called
off the inquiry earlier this week
when it became apparent that the
funds would not be made avail
