Budget Need Emphasized by
Campaign to Suppress
Crime.
ADDITIONAL FORCE
AND EQUIPMENT AIM
District and Federal Officials to
Resume Study of 1886 Esti-
mates Tomorrow.

A half million dollar increase in
the appropriation for the Metropoli-
tan Police Department for the next
fiscal year will be considered by Dis
trict and Federal officials tomorrow
when the Budget Bureau resumes
study of the proposed 1896 District
budget.
The need for an expansion of the
police force has been stated by sew
eral officials recently since the civic
campaign against crime was inaug-
urated after the mistaken identity
Staying of Allen B. Wilson by gunner
believed to have sought to put a
reputed gambler ION the spot"
The S511,000 increase in the ap-
preparation over the total for the
present year is calculated to provide a
modest increase in the number Of po-
licemen and the purchase of some
additional police equipment.
Budget Figures Raised.
The budget as formulated by the
Commissioners, 1t is understood, does
not carry all the increase proposed by
police officials. They had sought a
total Of 141 additional police. Thirty
five of these were to replace those
dropped two years ago under an econ
omy decision by Congress. One hun
dred others were proposed to expand
the force and six more were sought
to provide officers for the suggested
reopening of the old No. police
station
Details of the Commissioners bud
get have not been revealed, since this
is forbidden by budget rules There is
reason to believe, however, the budget
now provides only for restoration OF
the IS positions.
The Commissioners revealed re-
Gently that the 1896 budget calls for
a total appropriation Of S3,625, 300 for
the Police Department. This is s51l,-
900 more than the current year ap-
preparation. The department, in its
original estimates, however, asked for
a total Of s3,945, ,684, or 1891, ,242 more
than the item in the current act.
Hearings on the school budget fol
next year were completed yesterday
Sewers and Fairgrounds.
The first thing scheduled for to-
morrow's session = Is completion OF
study of the estimates for the sewers
and playground departments. II
time permits tomorrow, officials will
consider estimates of the District Fire
Department, which total 81 384 $50
This figure is some 100000 more
than that appropriated for the pres
ent year
The Health Department estimates
will be taken up either late tomor-
row or Tuesday. They total S436, TOO
as compared with the $396,519 ap-
preparation for the present year.
Judging from the present rate OF
progress of the hearings, it is indi-
Gated the review of the budget may
be finished by Saturday. Budget
Bureau officials then will mark up
changes and hold the document until
it is ready to be sent to Congress
by the President.

D. A. R. TO FIGHT
TAXES IN COURT
Petition to Be Filed in Dis
trict Supreme Court to
Block Levy.

The Daughters of the American
Revolution tomorrow will carry to
District Supreme Court It's fight to
keep Constitution Hall free from tax
alton.
Lawyers were prepared last night
to file a suit to enjoin the District
Government from proceeding with the
threatened advertisement and tax
deed sale of the hall for failure to
pay a levy of s20,9os.
D. A. r. headquarters was busy
yesterday assuring alarmed members
of the society at various sections over
the country that 'the threat OF sale
is merely a formality provided by
law in connection with the collection
of taxes"
Answer Claim.
At the same time the D. A. r. is
sued a strong rejoinder to officials of
the Washington Auditorium, who ini-
tiated the move to force the institu-
ton to pay taxes. The claim was
made months ago that Constitution
Hall was in direct commercial COM
petition with the Auditorium.
The reply to the claim of wash
ington Auditorium officials stated:
1.-The (Washington) Auditorium is
frankly a commercial property in
which are held dance marathons,
wrestling matches and similar events,
also the auto show"
The contrasting clientele of the
Constitution Hall was listed as IAN
address by the President of the
United States, concerts by the Ma
tional and Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestras, commencement OF
George Washington University, lee
ture under auspices of the National
Geographic Society"
Petition Cites Uses.
The petition prepared by the
D. A. R. for court attention declares
that Constitution Hall is not a COM
mercial enterprise, that it does not
advertise or solicit for events to be
held there, that its tenants are linn
tied to those cultural objects fostered
by symphony orchestras, concert re-
citals and occasions when the Presi-
dent appears before conventions held
in Washington.
The organization will rely upon seven
acts of Congress placing the property
in the tax exempt column so long as
it is used by the D. A. r. for the pur-
poses Of the society.

FEDERAL WORKERS
URGED TO BATTLE
FOR TWO REFORMS
Extension of Classification
and Stronger Merit Sys-
tenn Sought.
HARRISON SUPPORTS
RESTORATION OF PAY
Senate Leader Advocates Return
to Salary Scale "As Soon as
It Can Be Done"

A warning against assuming that
"the battle for the rights of Federal
employees already is won," because OF
the prospect for pay restoration, was
sounded yesterday by Miss Gertrude
McNally, Secretary-treasurer OF the
National Federation of Federal En-
ployes, in a letter to the locals of the
federation all over the country.
There are two other improvements
that must be accomplished-Strength-
ening of the merit system and exten-
sion of ssification-otherwise ANY
victories Federal employees achieve are
necessarily superficial" she empha-
sized
The pay issue also attracted the at
tention yesterday of Chairman Harri-
son of the Senate Finance Committee,
who said he favored return to the
basic salary scale "as soon as it can
be done" The Mississippi Senator,
however, refrained from predicting
whether this would be as of January
l, for which the employees are con-
tending, or July l, the date set by
President Roosevelt.
OnCe 1tCStOIdtlOHs
Harrison's expression was the first
from the high command of the Sen
ate since the Presidents statement on
pay Thursday. A year ago, the Miss
issippian spurred action toward pay
restoration by his telegram to the
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor here. favoring it. When
President Roosevelt vetoed the COM
bined pay-veteran benefit measure,
however, he voted to sustain the Chief
Executive.
In her letter to the unions, Miss
McNally said:
Until the merit system is strength
ened, until it is safe from the kind Of
marauding attacks it has sustained re-
Gently, until the theory that to the
victors belong the spoils no longer is
put into practice on a wholesale scale
in the Federal Government, no pro-
gram can be soundly and solidly based.
Classification Stressed.
"a thorough-going system Of clas-
sification of positions is an equally
fundamental essential. Classification
is the keystone of the whole structure;
until it is achieved all progress is
bound to be as spotty as it is eph-
emeral."
From another quarter yesterday
came the suggestion that Govern
ment employees would rather have their
80 days of annual leave restored and
the Board of Appeals bill passed than
to have the last 5 per cent of their
pay restored at this time"
This view was voiced by Mrs. Mar
garet Hopkins Worrel, president of
the League of the American Civil
Service.
The present leave restriction of IS
days is hardship on the workers,
while the appeals body would furnish
needed tribunal before which they
could lay grievances, she said.

premiership an artist must serve.
hope it will encourage thousands of
shy amateurs who let their desire to
paint die because the training seems
too long and hard task"
But what do the round lenses do?
Cross trained them on girl in an
ornate sweater. The details of her
face and her clothes were blurred
to those peering through the lenses.
But the colors and mass stood out
vividly. There was created the effect
a finished artist would produce after
he had learned to stroke his brush
freely.
Cross evolved the idea after years
Of teaching at the Massachusetts, Nor
NAL School of Art and at the Boston
Museum School.
He grew tired Of drawing for the
students" He felt some of them would
never learn to see for themselves. Then
he read some memoirs by Sir Joshua
Reynolds, the British artist.
Invented Snow PIow.
1.-THE only way to paint successfully
is to blur the vision." Reynolds had
written. That gave Cross an idea.
He had always been inventive. There
is a rotary snow plow now in use
which he invented.
He designed this drawing glass. He
mailed it to people who had no art
teacher. They mailed back their
paintings, pictures with free drawing
and clear color.
Cross felt he was staggering out Of
a teachers wilderness. So he laid
down his own paint brush and dedi-
Gated the rest of his life to making
the world really see."
Several school systems have adopt
ed his idea, and many established art
lists have returned to school under
this man who makes them teach
themselves.

Rowan, an artist of credible repute,
sketched some objects on a desk top.
