He stepped from an airplane into the

quite as frankly as if he was still the
little white Jimmy the Indians adopt

The lonely seeking of that small waif
almost overcame the man in his realiza-

Brother and sister seemed oblivious

Dark, tanned and square

the State of Minnesota.
Every Congressman from that State

In addition there was WestlakeS

operated by Bernard A. Hemelt, %, of
the 4100 block of Third street. He was

Hemelt was released in custody of an

bears the scars of beatings inflicted by
foster parents who drove the boy to
work for them.
Westlake's mother and father, Mr..

Washington State about a year after
they abandoned hope of finding their
young son.
Since that time, supposing he was
an Indian half-breed, Westlake had
gone under the name of Indian Jim"
Wesley, and never gave up the search
for his parents.
A recent newspaper account of this
search, illustrated with his photograph,
was forwarded by a friend to Mrs.
Sheridan here and a subsequent inter-
change of letters convinced brother and
sister of the Identification.
Thus Westlake's birthday was estab-
lished as April 6. 1t will be the first
real birthday anniversary he ever knew,

his sister
On this day, also, members of the
Minnesota delegation hope to present
Westlake to President Roosevelt.
The visitor will remain here about
two weeks before returning to his wife

lives" said brother and sister in unison
Unless added Westlake, "it will be

Preliminary Plans for Reductions

Delving deeply into President Roose-

Administration officials revised yes
terday some of the figures of benefits
which they previously had said would
or would not be effected by the cuts.
They said there would be a 10 per
cent reduction in the $100 monthly paid
Civil War veterans so disabled as to

Indian War veterans.

regulations to challenge cases of pre-

II per cent of the first estimates of
governmental expenditures for the fiscal
year 19?3-1934, but since all appro-

FALSE ECONOMY HIT
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Mrs. Ernest R. Grant Says Reduc
ing Essentials Will Mean
More Patients.

The statement made last evening by
Mrs. Ernest r. Grant on behalf of the
Association for the Prevention of Tu-
berculosis, in connection with the pres
ent budget cut for the tuberculosis
Hospital and the Children's Sanatorium,
was that 1t is false economy to reduce
these essential measures for the hos
pitaliZation of tuberculosis patients, for
the reason that it must surely result in
more patients to be cared for in en-
suing years
Mrs. Grant cited high medical au-
thority for the belief that tuberculosis
meningitis, one of childhoods deadliest
foes, is directly traceable to contact
with active tuberculosis" She said
further:
During 1882 18 children were ad-
mitted to the Childrens Hospital suf-
fering with tuberculosis meningitis.
Every one of these children died Six
other deaths from the same disease
were reported during the year.
IF the woefully inadequate budget
for operating the tuberculosis Hospital,
which is now under consideration in
Congress, is permitted to pass, 1t will
result in the curtailment of the number
of patients cared for by that hospital,
which in turn means that a larger
number of such patients will have to
remain in their homes. The number
of tuberculosis deaths in the District of
Columbia has steadily risen during the
last three years."

ARLINGTON GAS RATE
FIGURES EXPLAINED
Saunders Estimates Said to Have

to D. G..
Special Dispatch to The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, April 4.-In fur
ther cross examination of Henry J.
Saunders, consulting engineer for the
Public Utilities Commission of Airing
ton County, in proceedings before the
State Corporation Commission in which
the Arlington commission Is seeking to
obtain lower rate for gas furnished
citizens OF the county by the Rosslyn
Gas Co., it was brought out today that
his computations of original and re-
production cost of the Washington Gas
Light Co. in determining the whole
sale cost Of gas transmitted and dis
tributed to the Arlington consumers
were based on figures compiled by B
M. Bachman and H. Carl Wolfe, utility
engineers, for the Public Utilities Com
mission of the District of Columbia in
1928 when that body was undertaking
to determine the valuation of the
washington company. 1t also was
brought out that these figures had not
been accepted by the District of Co.
lumbia commission because they In
turn were based on figures compiled by
another utility engineer in previous
valuation proceedings.
Mr.. Saunders, while conceding that
he had made use Of the figures of
Bachman and Wolfe, explained that
he had undertaken to check them for
verif1cation and scaled them down to
date for depreciation. From his COM
putations he deduced that the whole
sale cost Of gas furnished Arlington
consumers was 40 cents per 1000 cubic
feet.
