HEARING
NEXT MONTH
ON LIQUOR
Believes Residents Would Go
Along With Nation;
Against War Policy

Senator William H. King DD,
of Utah, chairman Of the Senate
District Committee, today created
a sensation at a meeting of the
District of Columbia Federation
of Womens Clubs when he eX-
pressed himself in favor of
wet District of Columbia after
the federation had heard re-
port denouncing the repeal
amendment.
The Senator declared that he
is in favor of "home rule" and
that his opinoin is that Wash
ington is desirous of being wet
along with the rest of the nation.
Will Call Hearing
He said that during next month
he will call the District Com
mittee together to hold hearings
on the liquor problem in antici-
patton of the action of the thirty
sixth State on December Z IN
repeating the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
Several District residents, he
said, have approached him, ask
ing that Washington remain dry.
The consensus of opinion, how
ever, he asserted, as a result of
his observation, has been for the
return of liquor to the long dry
District of Columbia.
The Senator's statements fol-
lowed a report from the law en-
forcement committee in which
the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union, which is affiliated
with the federation, denounced
the action of the 33 States in
ratifying repeal.
Is Opposed To War
Senator King, Straying from
his announced topic on District
legislation, announced a vigorous
opposition to the "militaristic
policy" which this nation and
others have been following in
recent years. He asserted:
"ThiS nation has nothing to
fear in the way of war. I can
see no reason for our hugh ex-
penditureS for the Army and
Navy.
81 feel that now is the time
for the American people to in
dicate to the world that they
stand for peace and are un-
alterably opposed to war;"

40 ARE SEEKING
D. c. JUVENILE
COURT POST
Candidates Mostly Women;
Misses Bentley and Taggert
Prominent on List
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

Candidates for the much-con-
tested position Of Judge OF the
Juvenile Court of the District OF
Columbia to succeed Kathryn
Sellers have reached grand total
of 40, it was learned today.
Although numerous candidates
for this post have been named
with a few more prominently
mentioned, it was not known that
such large number were seeking
the judgeship.
Appointment of a new judge
has been delayed long in view OF
the large number of candidates
The battle for the appointment
has waged furiouSly since the
Hoover administration.
Candidates Mostly Women
The number Of candidates in
cludes few men, but women
predominant in the field.
Miss Fay L. Bentley, director OF
school attendance and work per-
mitS in the District, has been
prominently mentioned, as has
Miss Eta Taggert, local attorney
and now lieutenant" in the local
Blue Eagle organization.
Under the Hoover regime, Miss
Pearl Mccall, Assistant District
Attorney, was named for the post,
but opposition arose in the Sen
ate and the appointment was
withheld.
List Battles Roosevelt
At the present time, however, it
was learned that the administra-
ton is baffled over the large num-
Der Of candidates.
Although the names Of a good
number of the applicants are not
available, it is understood that
some of them are known to have
been Republicans in the past.

ACT
FOR DISTRICT
IN MAKING
D. C. Officials Begin Draft
For Congress; Amount to
Be Provided UnreVeaIed

District officials have begun
drafting deficiency legislation to
be presented at the coming session
of Congress to provide for certain
financial obligations which have
arisen since the passage OF the
District appropriation act Tor the
current fiscal year.
The exact amount which Will be
sought in the deficiency bill is not
known, but the inclusion OF GER
tain items is expected.
To Pay Traffic Police
One of thtse items will provide
for the paying of salaries to street
railway crossing policemen. This
expense has formerly been borne
by the local traction companies,
but will be removed from them
when the street car merger be-
comes effective on December l.
Since the annual total OF sal
aries paid these 81 policemen is
$4,000, it is probable that ap-
proximately 100000 will be needed
for this purpose during the seven
months of the fiscal year which
will remain after the merger be-
comes effective.
Trolley Paving Costs
The second item to be included
will be for paying the cost OF paw
ing between street car tracks. This
previously has been paid by the
traction companies, but will come
out of District funds after the
merger. The amount that will be
needed for this purpose has not
been estimated.
It has not been decided whether
the $1,7OO,00O which is expected
to be needed for relief work dur
ing the remainder Of the fiscal
year will be included in the de-
ficiency bill or will be sought as a
grant from Federal relief funds.

"PORK PIE" HATS
NOT FOR SNIFFLERS

Those saucy little pork pie" hats
which perched daringly upon the
heads of beauties of the naughty
90s are back again.
Turned up all around and often
trimmed with tufts of fur, or feath-
ers, these little hats are worn well
forward, leaving the starboard and
aft of the head exposed to the cruel
winds of winter. These smart wom-
en-, who do not fear the cold. prob
ably will wear :'pork pies," but for
those who sniffle there are other
models.
There is one in particular which
covers quite bit of scalp. 1t real
ly is q combination of two smaller
skull-caps. such as women have
been wearing. One fits over the
front of the head and the other
overlaps and covers the back Of the

hat because her neighbor does.

Credit Wisconsin Man
With Ice Cream Sundae

According to the Two Rivers
(Wis.) Reporter, the modern Ice
cream sundae was invented by
George Hallauer of that city. E. G.
Bernes, retired Two Rivers confec-
toner, is quoted as saying that
trimmings on ice cream dishes
were not known 40 years ago.
Chocolate sirup was used only for
flavoring sodas.
One night young George Hallauer
dropped into the Bernes Ice cream
parlor. He ordered ice cream and
then noticed the chocolate sirup
bottle. He asked for some on his
ice cream.
Don't spoil a dish of ice cream"
said Mr.. Bernes.
"Oh, I'll try it," said George, the
pioneer.
He tried it all right, and liked
it, anu pretty soon the whole town
was asking for ice cream with
stuff on it."
A competitor Of Bernes resented
the fad that increased the cost, to
the dealer, of an ice cream portion,
so he announced he would only
serve the new dish on Sunday.

National Defense Bill
Cut Under 600 Millions

Washington.-The cost of the
American national defense estab
lishmenf will run below S60O.000.-
0OO during the 1884 fiscal year II
estimates now being prepared by
the bureau of the budget are en-
acted into law M the short session
of congress. Inquiry disclosed that
the navy budget for 1894 has been
reduced to slightly above $300.O00..
OO0. while that of the army will be
considerably below $3OO.OO0.OO0.
According to recent report of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce American national defense
expenditures for the 1897 fiscal year
were $695. .OOO.0O0. During the cur.
rent fiscal year appropriation for
national defense. counting new
shore stations. military posts, and
new warship construction. amount
ed To $644 .OO0.0OO. On the basis of
confidential figures not yet released
for publication the appropriations
TO be asked for national defense In
1894 will imount to around $3.50.
0OO.0O0.
For the most part the reductions
will be effected through cutting Ger.
tain classes of pay. curtailment of
new construction activities. and a
general tightening upon expendi
lures. a few shore activities and
army posts will be closed. but very
little saving Is anticipated through
this avenue of economy. A cut of
LOO marines will save a million
and a half for the navy.
