and is one of the most promising
young duckpinners in the United
States.
Inge was one of the foremost
bowlers ins Washington before
moving to Richmond to take over

BROWNING PINS
BILLY BARTUSH

Jim Browning had another mat
bout to his credit. This time it
was over Billy BartuSh, whom he
met last night in the feature of
Joe Turner's wrestling show at
the Auditorium.
It took Browning Al minutes to
defeat his opponent, but he &C
complished the feat with a plain
scissors hold-a hold that was far
from the spectacular hold he usu.
ally defeats opponents with, the
airplane scissors.
Bartush gave more than the
usual amount of battle, and that
was all. It just happened he was
up against one of the toughest
foes in the wrestling game.
Vic Christy tossed Steve Znoski
after 11a4 minutes of graphing.

Beaver drew, as did Son Jennings
and Henry GRADER and Henry
Wagner and Al Bakhsh.

common knowledge that every
man on the ball club is for sale.
With the money acquired through
the sale of Cronin, the local
organization should be able to
get the players it will require.
A pitcher or two and Washing
ton should be ready for a sue
cesSful season.
Speaking of the Cronin deal, it
is known definitely that Frisco
Joe discussed the possibility Of
his going to Boston long before
official knowledge of the deal was
professed at headquarters. Joe
evidently knew that Boston
sought his services long before the
public even guessed the fact. The
ball player with whom Cronin
discussed the subject offered to
bet that the deal would go
through.
IF Yawkey wants you, price
will be no object, and If the price
is right, you'll only see Washing
ton as a tourist" said this player
whose reasoning was correct.

That even a Presidents birthday can't

secure service earlier. served the papers
on Doherty in the Shoreham Hotel
shortly before he descended to the ball
room for the celebration.
The suits were filed by Attorneys Al

Charles F Guerin and Ada NJ. Buxton.
Donaldson asked Sl4.535 for services

he contended. wasn't of the value rep

Appropriation Will Enable Group

Fiscal Year.

Appropriation of s26667 to enable
the District Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board to begin functioning Immediately
was voted unanimously today by the
House.
The appropriation was recommended
as emergency legislation by the Appro-
priations Committee, which originally
had considered a recommendation by
the Budget Bureau to make available
a total of S87.793, which would include
funds sufficient to operate the balance
of this fiscal year and throughout the
1885 fiscal year, beginning next July l.
The committee. however, decided to
recommend appropriation of funds only
for the remaining five months of this
fiscal year.
The legislative action came as Dis

CAPITALS BANKS
GAIN BY $4,0O0,0OO
Controllers Report Shows Big Ad'
vance Between October and
End of Year.

Total resources of all operating banks
and trust companies in the District
showed a gain of more than S4,0OO,0OO
between October and December OF last
year, according to a report made public
today by Controller Of the Currency
j. T. O'Connor.
Total resources of the 21 banks and
trust companies in this city grew from
1852 837 900, according to the bank call
of October 25. to S267697.000 at the
end of the year.
This is considerably smaller. of course.
than the total resources for the "a
operating banks reporting at the end OF
1882 total resources of S316.263. 900. The
difference between the "a banks at the
end of 1882 and 81 banks at the end
of 1888 is accounted for by the failure
of 10 banks to receive licenses. the clos
ing of the inSolvent Commercial Ma
tional Bank and the reopening of seven
of the unlicensed banks into the new
Hamilton National Bank merger.
The report shows that at the present
time there are nine national banks here
with total assets of Sl5554 900; seven
savings banks, total assets Sl6.758 900.
and five trust companies with assets OF
$e5.395 900

cember, while time deposits fell off

The demand deposits of Washing

Government deposits, other public
funds and deposits or other banks,
grew from sl11.508.000 in October to

PAY LOSS RESULT
OF HOLIDAY ORDER
McCarI Ruling Bares Appar-
ent Catch in Recent Ex-
ecutiVe Edict.

President Roosevelt's order excusing
Federal employees from work on two
December % and 80. "as an
evidence of appreciation of splendid
service" they had rendered when the
new administration was getting under
way, had catch in it-or so Controller
General McCarl believes.
The upshot is. that man employed
at the. Department of Justice loses three
days pay-that for the Saturday and
Sunday preceding New Year day and
for the holiday itself. during all of
which all Offices were closed. Three
women in the Civil Service Commission
also will lose their pay for the Satur-
day and Sunday. the controller gen.
eral held, although their case is slightly
different from that of the Department
of Justice worker.
Additional Pay Loss.
Depending on the Presidents order,
the Department of Justice employe. it
developed today. took leave without
pav from December 26 to 20. then dis
covered when pay day came around
that he must lose pay also for Decem-
ber 80, 81 and January l, because a De-
partment of Justice regulation requires
such a leave charge for Sunday and
holidays declared to be legal holidays by
law or executive order occurring at any
time except at the beginning Of period
Of leave without pay
The employe protested application OF
the regulation, contending he was ready
to return to work on the 30th and
could not be held accountable for Presl-
dent Roosevelt's generosity which closed
the office on him. He even cited prev
ious decision by the controller general
in support of his contention.
Regulation Must Apply.
McCarl held there might be some ex-
ceptions. but that in this instance the
Department of Justice regulation must
apply.
In the case brought up by the Civil
Service Commission. two of the women
were on leave for a set vacation, en-
bracing the 30th and 31st, and conse-
quently we're not entitled to pay for
those two days, while the third loses
pay for New Year day, for her leave was
to extend beyond that date.
Along with these decisions, however
the controller general rendered another
which gives a break to regular per diem
employees, whom he said are entitled
to their double compensation for holi-
days, even though they may be paid
from emergency funds. This question
was raised by the Secretary Of the In
terror. .------.----.----..

TOXIC. January 3l.-The min
lister of the navy told the House
Of Representatives today that new
auxiliary vessels of the japanese
Navy would outrank those of the
United States at the end of 1886.
Admiral Mineo OSumi. the head
of the navy ministry, offered sta
tistics to show how the two navieS
would compare when the present
naval treaty expired
In the House of Peers. Kenkichi
YoshizaWa, former foreign minis
ter, said that if the Japanese and
American Navies were to dictate
the programs with which their
respective governments enter the
naval conference scheduled for
1885, "a rupture would be in
evitable, leading, if the peSSl-
mists' view is accepted, to inten-
sifled naval competition-even If
a war is averted."
In view of these dangers he said
perhaps it would be better to abandon
the conference altogether, unless pre-
liminary negotiations should show the
possibilities of an agreement"
Koki Hirota, foreign minister. who
was present, expressed a general but
vague concurrence with YoshizaWa's
views.
The admirals statement was pre-
sented in writing in response to per-
sistent questioning by representatives on
the relative sea power of Japan and
America.
Only L. S. Compared.
Admiral Osumi did not mention the
navy of Great Britain or of any other
power, but confined himself to a COM
parison of the japanese and United
States navies at the end of 1886. when
the present naval treaties may possibly
expire.
