ROOSEVELT SIGNS
D. C. SUPPLY BILL
$35,411,177 Made Available for
Running Local Government
Next Fiscal Year.

President Roosevelt has signed the
District supply bill. which makes
available s35.411,177 for running the
local government for the fiscal year
beginning July / next
This appropriation is $24S,000
more than the amount asked for in
the budget estimate, and it exceeds
the current appropriation by about
s2,OOO,OOO,
In the bill there is provision for
a lump-sum contribution by the Fed
eral Government of $5,700,000. Out
OF this the District must repay
81 300, 900, representing 20 per cent
of the loan under the Public Works
Administration for sewers and park
improvements. BY requiring this re-
payment the Federal Government
contribution will actually be cut down
to $4,364 900, the lowest in the his
tory of the fiscal relations between
the two governments.
Among the larger increases in the
bill are a total of 81 1000, GOO for emer-
gency relief: an addition of about
$700 900 for school building and
ground projects; increases in items
for treating tuberculosis. and $150,000
for branch public library in George
town.
One of the most serious cuts was
made in the appropriation fer the
Public Utilities Commission, which
will result in reducing the activities
of this body as well as causing at
least IA employees to lose their posi-
tionS. Next to the Utilities Commits
sion cut, the most serious reduction
was for street lighting The House
allowed $700, 900 for this purpose. the
Senate raised it to $837, 400, but in
conference it was cut back to
s768, TOO. District officials are of the
opinion that this curtailment in
lighting will result in elimination of
number of lights on the highways
Of the city.
In the bill the Commissioners are
allowed to make a 25 per cent cut
in water rates and raise the present
metered allowance Of water to be
used on the minimum rate It also
reduces the rate of assessments for
laying sewer and water mains and
hberalizes the use of funds fer the
tuberculosis Hospital.

Il started for a purpose.
Most of it can be traced to
well organized inside campaign to

That seems to be the real explana-
ton for the recent Republican fill
buster in the House, although it is
being warmly denied.
Two very influential lobbies started
out to kill these bills some weeks ago
Instead of issuing statements and
conducting the usual lobbying cam
paign. these two went to work on the
sly with certain Congressman to
create a situation whereby those two
measures would be dropped until next
session.
The campaign against the labor
bill is being led by an association
OF manufacturers and the Con-
greSSmen NTH ,uhou they deal.
The strategy against the home
mortgage bill lis being planned by
certain Congressmen supposed to
be privately connected ,Dith build
ing and loan associations.
The Democratic leaders know what
is going on, but they are not alto
gether unsympathetic with the cam
paign At least they are not personally
strong for the two bills.

Wreckage Of Eastern Liner
Located In Catskill Mountains

LIVINGSTON MANOR, June II.
UP) - Wrecked in struggle
against fog and furious updrafts
in the Catskill mountains, the
great American Air Lines Condor
transport was found near this vii
lage today, mass of twisted metal
and charred fabric, with it's seven
occupants trapped and killed by
fire.
William H. Hallock, small-town
pilot who flies from the Montgom-
cry airport, and who knows the
dangerous territory hereaboutS,"
made the discovery near gully
after two-hour search of the
highly dangerous terrain. He sue
ceeded where huge corps of air
and land searchers had failed.
Hallock, skimming close to the
tree tops in the heavily wooded
hills, descended to within 100 feet
of the wreckage. There was in
sufficient flat ground nearby on
| which to land, but he circled the
wreck and saw no living persons
either in or around the plane
"They were all dead" Hallock
told the United Press. They didn't
have a chance to escape. The ma
chine itself is mass of burned
wreckage."
A large investigating party headed
by the coroner, left at once by
automobile, to penetrate to the
wreckage. Il doubt" Hallock said,
IF they can ever discover the real
cause. 1t is my opinion however.
J that the pilot was struggling to
lift himself out of the fog and
escape the treacherouS currents in
the mountains, when he was pock-
eted and crashed"
The plane had smashed through
heavy tangle of trees and under
brush. 1t was not visible from the
skies unless a chance aviator flew
as Hallock did, dangerously close
! to the ground.
But we know this territory"
Hallock said, "and we are familiar
with the currents around Mon
gaup ParS, where the plane was
! found"

REVENUE Of
STATE SHOWS
SHARP DROP

SACRAMENTO, June II. U.p)-
California will receive $1,707,750
less this year than it did in 1888
as a result Of heavy slump in
Public Utilities and Insurance
company taxation revenues, the
State Board of Equalization reveal
ed today.
Public utility tax receipts have
shrunk $1,143,834, while insurance
company revenue to the state has
decreased $563,815 under last years
figures.
1T is evident" the board said,
that business conditions during
the past year have made it i'm
possible for the state to hold its
own in revenues without increas-
ing the tax burdens on those types
of enterprises subject to special
levies for state purposes. Without
the sales tax. it is clear the states
financial structure would have be-
come paralyzed. The steady de-
cline In utility and insurance taxes
would have produced chaos.
Every type of public utility ex-
cept telegraph companies and short
steam railroads showed a loss in
gross receipts in 1888 as compared
with 1882. The sharpest loss was
experienced by car companies,
whose tax payments will be IA
per cent less than they were last
year. Revenues from electric rail-
roads decreased 9.58 per cent; long
steam railroads 8,57 per cent; tele-
phone companies 6.93; express COM
panies Alb and gas and electric
companies 49,"

MEXICO CITY, June 11.-Panic-
stricken gulf coast residents waited
helplessly today for hurricane TO
strike the rich Tampico oil fields
after spreading destruction IN FL
Salvador and Honduras and killing
hundreds of persons.
Moving northeastward, the storm
was due to strike the Tamaulipas
state coast tonight or Tuesday.
Government meteorologists hoped
it might do little more damage
than that of an ordinary wind and
rain storm But the population, only
beginning to recover from the ter
rifle storm of last summer, was
fearful.
The hurricane has spread devas-
tation in Ell Salvador and Honduras
and swept across the Yucatan pen
insula of Mexico, thence to cross the
gulf toward TamaulipaS state which
comprises the Tampico oil fields.
United Press dispatches reported
heavy casualties in Ell Salvador. No
estimate of the exact number OF
dead was possible because of dis
ruption of communications and
prostration of many villages.
But piecemeal messages from pro-
vincial villages and towns to San
Salvador, the capital accounted for
more than 300 dead and many miss
ing.
All over Central America high
winds have followed torrential rains
that in some parts have lasted
without a break for a week, and
that have sent rivers over their
banks.
On the Tampico oil field coast, the
population could do little but wait
the storms arrival tonight or to-
morrow. Already rains were peltlne
the district, and the wind was roar
irg. Many persons slept in the open
Were danger from wreckage was
less likely, to wake this morning ano
find wind and rain increasing men,
acingly in intensity.

THOUSANDSOF
LIVES LOST IN
EL SALVADOR
Disastrous Storm Feared Nov
ing Into Mexico Where Ad-
ditional Loss Due.

SAN SALVADOR, June IL. U.P
Relief workers today estimated
the dead at 1000 in the hurricane
which devastated this area last
week. They emphasized that the
total was a rough estimate pend
ing an official check up.
Reports of relief workers and
aviators, however, made it certain
that the death toll would be huge.
One pilot reported he flew over
the stricken district and found
only a few buildings standing at
Acaiutla. He said an unidentified
steamship had been sunk at the
mouth of the Rio Lempa. Only
the top of one funnel showed
Many bodies were floating near
the wreckage and other bodies
were sighted on shore.
The pilot said a railroad train
had been hurled from the tracks
and carried 100 yards by the hur-
ricane. The train wreckage, upside
down, could be plainly seen, he re-
ported.
Flood waters were as deep as 20
feet in many places and covered
a huge area.
Lakes Guija and Coaterpeque
rose 20 to 80 feet and the bodies
of hundreds of cattle were seen
floating there and on the swollen
rivers. Most of the damage was
caused along the lakes and rivers,
although some villages were des-
troyed by avalanches from the high
volcanic mountains.
