SUSPECT NAMED

Acting on the theory that a

deputy internal revenue agent.
during a still raid Tuesday at
Forestville, Md, agents from Balti-
more and Washington today re-
cruited the aid of Maryland State
and Prince Georges county police
in searching for a man whose de-
scription the wounded man gave
his cohorts.
Deputy Thomas is said to have
told Superiors that he was con-
fronted by a man whom he at first
thought was another agent, and
came face to face with him before
the shotgun was discharged into
his groin.
The description was given local
police in the hope that they would
recognize a native who fits the
description.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Thomas is said
to be somewhat improved" at

The new escalators in the Hecht

installing 20 new elevators and
will facilitate the movements of
shoppers in going to various

recovery in Washington has been
favorable under NRA and de-
clared that this upswing will con-

u. S. Surveys
Pay in Cash
Petition

AS a result of numerous petit
tions urging that payment OF
Government salaries be made in
cash, a committee in the Treas
ury Department is studying the
situation with view to possible
change, it was learned today.
Questionnaires have been sent
to officials in the Government
departments and independent es-
adjustments asking whether the
employees prefer cash or check
payment and whether those who
handle the pay rolls have any
preference.
The Treasury committee mean
while is studying the general
question whether cash or check
payment of salaries is preferable,
and if check payments are con-
tinued what steps should be taken
so that the employees may get
their checks cashed easily.
It was said at the department
that it probably will be several
weeks before the committee is
ready to make recommendations.

BUDGET
FACES SLASH

The District Commissioners have
practically concluded delibera-
lions on the Districts $51, 900, 900
budget for the fiscal year 1886,
and before the end of the week
will have reduced that figure by
at least $1O,000,000.
Every department under the
District government will suffer a
slash in the estimates submitted,
the expectation being that the
proposed new school buildings and
the extra 100000 for direct re-
lief will be the principal objects
of reduction.
1t is expected that the Commits.
sioners will forward to the Bureau
of Budget requests for appropria-
tons not much greater than the
current appropriations amounting
to $38,000,OO0, which includes ST.
100000 in pension funds, trust
funds etc.

Captain Whitehurst's plan could
be put into effect Immediately,
since it would cost only $4,000,
and that amount is available
from the Districts general funds.
Assuming that the commission
today approves the Whitehurst
plan, the project then would be
put before the National Park
Service. Consent of this agency
must be obtained before actual
construction work can begin.

ing and the ground surrounding

ment. Administration of the build
ing is under the jurisdiction of
the National Park Service. For
the District government to OBJ
tain ground for the widening Of
F Street, therefore, it would be
necessary to have the permission
of the National Park Service.
This agency in turn is con-
fronted with a peculiar situation.

Fine Arts Commission.
The Fine Arts Commission be-

building and widening of the
street by at least 10 feet is the
feasible plan.
However, it is possible for the
National Park Service to grant
the necessary land without the
consent of the Fine Arts Commits

matter of this kind, is not vested
with legal authority but acts only
in an advisory capacity.

Immediate elimination of the
traffic congestion on F Street be-
tween Seventh and Ninth Streets,
and widening of the thoroughfare
to accommodate two-way traffic,
will be considered today at q
meeting of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
The commission will have be-
fore it two plans. One, which is
generally considered the ideal So
luton to the problem, is removal
of the steps leading to the F.
Street entrance to the old Patent
Office Building and an appreci-
able widening of the street. This
plan would cost about 100000.
The other plan is one submitted
by Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, d.
rector of the Highway Department
of the District of Columbia. While
it is generally admitted that this
plan is far from adequate, its sup
porters contend that it would
serve as makeshift plan for elimi-
nation of congestion.
