Something more than 81 ,ooo, 900 has
been slashed by the Bureau of the Bud
get from the estimates for the OPERA
ton Of the District Government during
the fiscal year beginning next July /,
according to the best information avail
able yesterday.
There are reasons to believe the Bud
get Bureau officials have eliminated
from the proposed 1885 appropriations
more school items In addition to the
sum requested for the completion of the
proposed AnacoStia Junior High School
1t became certain a week ago that
funds for completing the Anacostia
bulldmg-for which Congress specifi-
cally granted starting appropriation
In the 1888 act-had been eliminated
After the city heads had approved the
plans and were about to advertise for
bids from contractors, the program was
suddenly halted after Budget Bureau
officials had rendered their decision on
the proposed 1885 bill.
This raised a question as to the fate
OF other building items in the proposed
budget. Several were at stake, includ-
ing funds for additions to the Browne,
Deal and Powell Junior High Schools.
District officials, in keeping with strict
rules Of the Budget Bureau and Con-
gress, have refused to discuss the mat
ter until the estimates have been for
warded to Congress and published.
Independent investigation. however,
indicates that the item for the Browne
Junior High School has been approved
but that the item for the addition to
the Deal Junior High School has been
oil IN ofl cd l. Il;
what has happened to the item for the
gymnasium for the Powell School.
Extensive plans are being carried for
ward for developments of the Browne
Junior High School and the related
buildings, the Phelps Vocation School
and the Young School. Just recently
contract was let for extension of sewer
facilities there. Also District officials
are proceeding with plans for the
grading Of land there to make possible
development of an athletic field, later
to become a part of a proposed sta
dunn.
There have been no apparent activi-
ties as would be expected in connec-
ton with the addition to the Deal
Junior High School,
Because Of continued District activi-
ties in connection with the preparation
of the projects. it is believed the
Budget Bureau has approved items for
completion of the proposed Woodrow
Wilson High School in the Reno sec
ton, the contagious ward building at
Gallinger Hospital and the new CAL
vert Street Bridge over Rock Creek,
for which starting appropriations were
made available by Congress in the
present or 1884 act.
The District budget. as approved by
the District Commissioners, had a total
of $39, 484,858.15, which would have
been allowed under continuation of the
present real estate tax rate of 81 so,
and for restoration of the Is per cent
cut in the pay of District employees.
The proposed measure also provided
for a fiat rs per cent cut in charges
for District water service.

BRENTWOOD DEATH
PROBED AS MURDER
Inquiry Takes New Turn
After Money Is Missing in
Cozens Killing.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BRENTWOOD, Md, December a.
Prince Georges County police tonight
were investigating a murder theory in
the death yesterday morning Of Frank
Cozens, Al, Brentwood salesman, whose
body, with two bullet holes in the chest,
was found in garage in the rear Of his
home. The garage was filled with
monoxide gas.
While police could find no motive
for suicide, they cited the possibility
of murder in the fact that a consider
able sum of money, which some esti-
mates made as high as $500. was miss
ing from Cozens' pockets.
Autopsy Indecisive.
DR.. Oscor La Vine of Mount Rainier,
who performed an autopsy, said the
result indicated only that the death
could have been either suicide or
murder.
Neither bullet, Dr. La Vine said
pierced the heart, though both were
close. Death was caused by a hemor-
rhage in the lungs, he said.
The bullets were fired from a pistol
pressed close to Cozens' chest, DR.. La
Vine said
The investigation Of the case Is being
carried on by Deputy Sheriff Ralph
Brown. who said he was undecided
whether it was suicide or murder. He
did not anticipate any early arrest.
Wounds First Overlooked.
Cozens' body was found by his son
in the garage between his automobile
and the door. The engine of the car
was running. Mrs. Cozens Immediately
called the Bladensburg Rescue Squad
which attempted to revive CoZens
with an inhalator, believing the case to
be only monoxide gas poisoning. Later
the two bullet wounds were found anc
police were asked to investigate.
Members Of Cozens' family told po-
lice that when he left his house this
morning CoZens had large sum OF
money in his pockets. Police did not
find the money. They have not de-
termined whether Cozens' pockets had
been rif1ed or whether he had disposed
of the money before his death.
A pistol was found lying near the
body

ter T. Mccarthy yesterday. and attor-

by Monday.
A fifth case, that of H. B. Hans
borough. also brought up on appeal, was
continued by the court at the request
of the defendant, who asked for q
separate hearing, because he believed q
different question was involved in his
case. Hansborough told the court he
had applied for a permit in proper
form, and that his farm had been in
sected by the board of supervisors, and
1t was his understanding the permit
would be issued
The other defendants through their
attorney took the position that the en-
tire ordinance is unconstitutional be-
