Report Scores Utility
Holding Companies

CINCINNATI, Oct. 13.-Stricter
regulation Of utility holding COM
panies and affiliateS was urged in
a report to the convention Of the
National Association Of Railroad
and Utilities Commissioners sub
mitted by John F. ShaughneSSy,
Nevada, utilities commissioner
chairman of the committee on
intercorporate relations.
The report proposed for discus
sion the following findings:
"That investors have been de-
ceived and afforded no prOtec-
tiOn against exploitation Of ir-
responsible groups.
"That investment trusts and
private groups have assumed
financial responsibility beyond
their experience and ability, and
should never have been per-
mitted to enter the field.
"That the investments and
security accounts of many local
utilities have been increased,
operating expenses enlarged and
net earnings diminished by
holding company requirements
and exactiOns.
"That there is no publicity Of
their accounts and practices and
in some cases they refuse to dis
close them.
"That control Of this char
acter Of financing is both a
Federal and a State function for
protection of the operating
utility against ruinous holding
company practices.
"That to the extent that such
holding company control results
in forcing loans, security issues,

Wallace Summons State
Chiefs on Forestation

Called to Washington by Sec.
retary of Agriculture Wallace,
State forestry officials from all
parts of the nation are here to-
day to formulate a program of
reforestation for State lands.
Out of this plan will come work
for 25O,O00 men going to the
State and National forests this
summer.
Major R. Y. Stuart, chief of
the Forest Service, outlined the
plan of procedure and named a
steering committee" of technical
advisors to meet with the four
regional committees.
w. Frank Persons, representing
Secretary of Labor Perkins, en-
phasized that the first enrolment
would include unemployed forest
workers in the vicinity of the
projects as well as city unem-
ployed. Each States quota is
based on population.

S7,400 ROBBERY.
WAS PLANNED
CAREFULLY
Police Believe Same Gunmen
Attempted Connecticut
Avenue Crime

That the five holdup men who
yesterday took $7,400 at the
Washington Mechanics Savings
Bank at Eighth and G Streets
Southeast, may have been con-
nected with the gangsters who
last october attempted to hold
up the Connecticut Avenue
branch of the same bank, was
the theory of detectives investi-
eating the robbery today.
Employees of the Southe east
branch last night identified three
of the robber gang from police
pictures of notorious Philadelphia
racketeers.
Abandoned Car Found
The robbery had been carefully
planned in advance, from all in
dications.
An automobile in which the
holdup men made their escape
was abandoned at 18th and D
D Streets N. E. A small caliber
rifle was in it. The car bore New
Jersey tags.
Yesterdays holdup was the
fourth to be staged at branch
banks of the Washington Me-
chanic Savings Bank Company.
Police believe robbers who took
$4,000 last January from the
East Capitol Street branch and
$4,000 last June from the Georgia
Avenue branch are not the same
as those who figured in the hold
up of the other two branches.
The holdup Of the Connecticut
Avenue branch was frustrated by
tear gas released by a teller.
Gas Attack Thwarted
The robbers showed that they
expected such a move. When J.
c. williams, a teller, made a mo-
ton to step on tear gas button,
one of the holdup men threatened
to riddle" him.
A final check.up on the banks
losses showed they were much
smaller than was at first believed.
Ezra Gould, president, said the
loss of $7,400 was comparatively
small considering the amount Of
money deposited in the South
east branch yesterday.
An insurance company pre-
sented check covering the entire
loss.
Gould praised the courage Of
Williams in refusing to unlock a
drawer in a vault where a large
sum was kept. Williams told the
robbers he did not have a key.

TAKOMA RULES
TEL|ST|NG

A general registration Of all the
1900 voters in Takoma Park was
authorized by the town council
at a special meeting last night.

eral registration shall be held

registration officers will register
their names on April Is and 26
from Z a. m. to p. m. and z
p. m. to 10 p. m.
The council also voted to drop
the referendum on paying council
members an annual salary be-
cause of the opposition growing
against the proposal. The new
police ordinances were also adopted
to be effected Immediately, and
copies of the ordinances, similar
to those of the District, were
given police officials this morning.

FEDERAL UNITS
invoke SLASH

Slashes are already under way
in Federal units in connection
with the new and drastic budget
cuts just ahead, and further in
formation revealed today as to
their extent and character indi-
Gates that they will be even more
severe than had been anticipate.
Rductions that will be required
in the Hoover budget will run be-
tween $500, 100000 and 5000, ,00O,-
90, and in addition to the pay
cuts, totaling $1OO,O0O,000, to be
made under the Is per cent slash
provided in the economy act, the
PoStoffice Department, it is said,
will be expected to absorb $780,
100000 more of the reduction,
Agriculture nearly $75,000,O0 In
terror about $29, ZOO, 900 and Com
merce $10,000,00O.
The tremendous slash in the
Department of Agriculture appro-
priations now in prospect will
mean the extinction of much
scientific work. The extension
services and experimental work of
the department. will be practically
eliminated, and it is expected that
the 16 bureaus will be consoli-
dated into six or seven. Whole
bureaus are likely to be scrapped.
The bureaus of Animal Indus
try, Dairy Industry, Chemistry
and Soils, Entomology, Agricultu-
raj Engineering, Agricultural Eco
nomics, Home Economics, Plant
Quarantine, and Public Roads are
among those which will be strong
1v affected.

To HEARING
Budget Slash in Construction
for Future Stirs Ire of
D. c. Citizens

School administration officials
and members of the board Of ed
ucation will flight with all their
might" to impress the Senate
District Appropriations subcom-
mittee with the necessity Of re-
storing construction and person
mel items in the drastically
slashed school appropriations for
1884, it was announced today.
DR., Haden johnson, president
of the board, who today received
spontaneous" invitation from
the appropriations subcommittee
to appear at the hearings Mon
day morning, declared that the
school heads would insist on. res
toration of the construction pro-
jects. He said:
"The future generation is
being born under a tremendous
handicap. The least we can do
is to provide them with an
adequate education. And we
need the SchOOlhOuSe accom-
mOdatiOns to do it right. II
we don't build for them now,
they will be more handicapped
in the future"
INVITED TO HEARING
In view of the drastic slashes
made in the school budget, 1t
was planned to ask for a hear
ing before the Senate group.
The invitation came before tile
equest was made.
Serious consequences will result
if the money asked for additional
teachers is not restored to The
bill, DR.. johnson said.
The protests Of washington cltl-
zens against the proposed cut in
the school appropriation, criticiz-
ing the curtailment of funds as a
death blow to education, will be
carried to President Roosevelt and
to the Senate District Approprla-
tions subcommittee.
Mass Meeting Held
Denouncing the House of Rep
resentatives and the Budget Blu
reau for ripping" the public
school system of washington by
the drastic cuts in expenditures,
citizens representing numerous
organizations, rallied to the de-
fense at a mass meeting in the
Roosevelt High School last night.
Selma Borchardt, legislation
chairman of the Teachers Union,
sounded the keynote of the n eet-
ing when she declared:
"A monetary indebtedness
can be liquidated. An indebted
ness to the children cannot"
Speakers emphasized the idea
that economy at the expense of
child welfare and education is no
economy.
Col. Charles I. Stengle, presi-
dent of the District Public School
Association and former Represen-
tative from New York, declared
that the action of the Budget Bu-
reau and the House was a "high-
handed assault on the rights of
American citizens to decide how
best to spend their own money" "

work in the national forests.
On Monday, it is hoped that
100 men will leave Washington

Beginners Eager
Things got off to rather a slow
start today because so many
young men, anxious to go to work
in the forests, are not fully ac-
quainted with the rules of the
game. Consequently, Captain
wharton an dtwo recruiting serg-
eantS, at headquarters, are kept
busy explaining.
All the men who go to camp
must send part of their allotment
of $50 a month back to de-
pendants. Even at that they
will have plenty, since they are
getting their food and clothing.

Today they found the alarm
had been set off by a bird.
There was no attempt by any
one to break into the house.
After the third trip reserves
from the precinct said they
believed it would save trouble
if the house were torn down or
the alarm disconnected.

BEER INF ANGUS,
CRIES HOWARD

While the thirsty citizenry Of
10 States and the National Capt.
talreveled today in the return OF
beer, no hosannas were being
sung by the organized drys.
Here's how the National United
Committee for Law Enforcement,
Clinton N. Howard, chairman,
characterized the history-making
event:
"The GROWING infamy Of the
ages, with the single exception
of the curcifixiOn Of the Son
of God by the politicians of
Jerusalem, is the crucifixiOn Of
the Constitution by the Seventy
third Congress, now in session,
by and with the advice and con-
sent of the President of the
United States, i legalizing by
statute what is prohibited by the
Constitution, to become opera
tive on Black Friday, April I,
1888"
In a long statement of several
thousand words, Howard scath-
ingly denounced Congress for
legalizing beer, concluding:
Like HerOd, who slew the in
nOcentS of b tn e h m, this
