FUNDS SHORT
MISS KERINS

Washington lost a large share
of it's brilliance during the last
year, due to the failure of Con-
gress to grant an adequate appro-
priation for street lighting.
Walter E. Kern, chief Of the
Districts Electrical Department,
in his annual report to the Dis
trict commissioners today, de-
clared that, owing to the reduc-
ton in street lighting appropria-
lions for the fiscal year, which
ended last June 80, it was neces-
sary to discontinue 1918 lamps
and reduce the candle-poWer Of
4,610 others.
Although reporting progress in
installing street name signs, Mr..
Kern said hundreds of glass street
signs are broken each year. He
said experiments are being con-
Quoted on a new design of illumi-
mated sign which is effective at
night and will not easily be broken.

It was real treat for Wash
ington residents today to bask
in the sun once again.
Although extact statistics were
not available, Weather Bureau
officials beliece that last week
set a record for lack of sunshine.
With a possibility of approx
mately 90 hours of sunshine dur
ing the first week of September,
Washington saw the sun for ex-
actly ST. hours-less than half a
days sunshine in seven days.
While Helios was loafing on
the job, Jupiter Pluvius was
working overtime.
Exactly TOO inches of rainfall
were recorded for the first week
of September. This is more than
twice as much as the average
rainfall for the entire month.
September, however. is noted
for its record-breaking rainfalls,
in fact, it holds the championship
with 17.45 inches of rain last
year, said by Weather Bureau Of
ficials to be the greatest monthly
rainfall on record.
This week, Weather Bureau of.
ficials say. Washington may ex-
pect alternately rain and fair
weather. Rain is forecast for to-
night and possibly tomorrow
morning. Tomorrow will be cooler.

BYRD BEGINS
RE0RGAN|z|NG
HIS FACULTY
New Advisory Board Of
Teachers Planned
At Maryland u.

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Sept. 9.
President H. C. Byrd today began
recognizing the University of
Maryland faculty to ward off any
uprising such as led to the GUST
ing of his predecessor, DR.. R. A.
Pearson.
While Parsons opponents at.
tackled his administrative policy,
faculty members will now be
given more administrative control,
as demonstrated in the rearrange-
ment of the College of Arts and
Sciences today. A new advisory
board of faculty members is also
to be set up, and a system of con.
facts with new students ordered.
The advisory board is to study
charges made by or against fac,
ulty members in an effort to elm,
mate some of the friction that
always exists in large faculty
it was said. The board is also to
confer with the president in ques-
tions affecting administration.
Mr.. Byrd said:
"There is friction in most
faculties throughout the coun-
try to some degree, often be-
cause faculty members are
given no say in university af-
fairs.
Pm going to try something
new. 1 want the faculty to share
in the responsibility. I want a
faculty board to study COM
plants from or about professors
and say whether that member
is fit to do the work."
To illustrate his purpose, he to-
day ordered a realignment of work
in the College of Arts and
Sciences. The same plan will be
pushed throughout the university
In the arts and sciences, four
divisions were named-the hui
manities, the social sciences, the
biological and physical sciences,
and the general college division,
Under these four groups, numer,
Gus departments were set up. One
example is the breaking up of the
department of economics and
sociology into the department of
public administration and the de,
partment of sociology. New de,
partments of PSYCHOLOGY an d
philosophy also were created.
Freshman and Sophomore work
is included in the General Col
lege Division, with the freshmen
divided into small groups and a
faculty member made chairman
of each to aid freshmen in their
personal problems.
In breaking up the work. Mr.
Byrd was forced to find full pro
fessors for many subjects or put
the work in charge of present
members of the faculty. The
realignment of the faculty will
not be completed until the open
ing of school next week, it was
said,

IN NEW YORK
CITY JAIL
Washington Officers
Were About to 60
For Interview

Suicide in a New York City jail
last night robbed Washington and
Maryland police of the man be-
lieved to be the slayer of two
Capital Transit Company workers
during the robbery of the Chevy
Chase car barn last winter.
The man was Anthony Cugino,
Of Philadelphia, who, police said,
was Pennsylvania public enemy
No. l. In the underworlds of
Washington, Philadelphia, and
New York he was known as
TONY the Singer" and feared
for his deXterity with firearms.
After a three-yearsearch, Gu
gino was arrested in New York
Saturday night and was sub
jected to a 12-hour grilling by
New York police in connection
with several killings.
Maryland States At torney
James H. Pugh and detectives
from Montgomery county and
Washington were about to board
train for New York when word
was received here that Cugino's
body had been discovered in his
cell hanging from rude moose
fashioned from his clothing.
The car barn hlod-up here,
which resulted in the death of
the Trnsit Company cashier,
James M. Mitchell, Sc. of this
city, and Emory Smith, AZ, of
Bethesda, a Waterman, occurred
last Jnauary 81. Over 1900 was
taken from the car barn till.
Mitchell had been shot down at
his desk and the body of Smith,
who had evidently been taken
for a ride" was discovered later
in Rock Creek Park.
According to police, Cugino who
has a brotherin-law residing
here, boosted in Philadelphia of
a "big job" he had pulled in the
Capital. Since that time, Detec-
tive Sergt. Theodore Vollten of
the Montgomery county police,
has been on Cugino's trail.

j. :. TAX HERE
MORE THAN IN
IS STATES
7 treasury in Past Year
Paid 1920 by
D. c. Residents

A total of $12,784,920.49 was
paid into the Federal Treasury by
residents of the National Capital
during the fiscal year ended June
30, 1895, according to a prelim.
mary report released today by the
Bureau of Internal Revenue show,
ing all taxes collected during that
year.
This was more than the people
of 18 States contributed in that
fiscal year and was an increase of
$1,515,622.63, or 13 per cent over
the amount paid by District resi-
dents and corporations during the
previous fiscal year. The Dis,
trict's share represented one-tWo
hundred and fifty-eighth of the
total Federal tax collections.
Proof that the District is club
town and one in which people
"go places" is revealed in the
figures showing the amount of
taxes paid for club dues and ad
missions to theaterS, roof gardens
night clubs and other such places
of entertainment.
Taxes on Club Dues
For taxes on club d1eS. the
District paid 55,722.64, which was
more than was collected in 81
States, while the $248.187.33 paid
in the District as taxes on admis'
sions was more than the Govern
ment received from 38 States.
Largest source of Federal reve
rue from the National Capital
was the individual and corpora
ton income taxes. which for the
last fiscal year Melted the Treas
ury $8,195, 64723. This was more
than the collections in q States
OF that total, $3,188,429.30 was
paid by individuals, while $5,0O7,
.217.93 was collected from corpora
tons.
This is the reverse of the situa
ton as a whole throughout the
country, the Bureau of Interna
Revenue report showing thai
slightly more was collected from
individuals than from corpora
tions last year
The second most profitable
source to the Federal Golfers from
the District is the estate tax, this
city contributing $1,973,617.22 las
year, which was more than 81
States paid under this heading.
Twenty-four States paid less
Federal liquor taxes than did the
District. The collections h ere
amounted to 1881 ,475.85, while the
+ $415,277.18 the District paid lr
capital stock taxes was more thar
the bill in II States.
The next highest amount col
lected from District source was
1851, 1889 in gift taxes, which
was more than 80 of the States
paid.
Dividend Taxes
Although a relatively mino1
amount; the 4,O4104 the Distric
paid in dividend taxes was more
than the collections made by the
Federal Government from thai
source in 80 States.
Other amounts collected II
taxes by the Federal Government
in the District during the fisca
year 1895, which go to make W
the more than $12.00O,000 total

SAFETY RAZOR
INVENTED BY
SEN. NJ AD00
California Senator Gets
Patent on His
Brani-Child

Along with Benjamin Franklin,
Thomas jefferson and Abraham
Lincoln, Senator William Gibbs
McAdoo CD, of California, re-
Gently took his place as states
man-inventor, when the United
States Patent office granted him
a patent on his brain-child-an
improved type" of safety razor.
To the laymen, Senator McAdoo's
invention looks not unlike the
ordinary variety of safety razors.
But the Senator's invention
must have some distinguishing
feature-otherwise he wouldn't
have received the patent.
To Promote Science
Contrary to popular opinion, the
Patent Office does not waste time
investigating the merits of new
and sinplified back-scratchers or
alarm clocks, which go off when
the clipping of the milk-wagon
horses hoofs jar supersensitive
photoelectric cells. 1t is utility
which controls now, as it did when
Benjamin Franklin insisted, at the
Constitutional Convention in Phil
adelphia, that the Constitution
contain what is now Section 8 Of
Article /:
ITO promote the progress Of
science and useful arts by Sc.
curing for limited times to
authors and inventors the ex-
elusive rights to their respec-
tive writings and discoveries"
But when Franklin's ideas were
incorporated into that historic
document, the securing of a pat
ent was more complicated than
it is today. Provided an inventor
can satisfy the Patent Office
that he has secured ANY new
and useful art, machine, manu-.
facture or composition of matter,
or any new and useful improve,
ments thereof" the patent is his
on the payment Of a $50 fee.
The First Patent.
In the early days of the Patent
Office, all patents had to have
the approval of the President of
the United States. the Secretary
of State and the Attorney Gen
eral.
In his office at the Commerce
Building, Mr.. Kerans treasures a
copy of the first patent ever is
sued in this country. Dated Janu
airy %, 1871, the manuscript
grants one Francis Bailey, OF
Philadelphia, rights to matrices
of printed type" and certain
methods, not before known and
used. said invention appears to
be useful and important to pro
mote the progress of useful arts
1t bears the signature of George
Washington, then Presi d n t.
Thomas jefferson, his Secretary
of State and Edmund Randolph,
who at that time was Attorney
General.
The word "importang" is not a
typographical error. 1t is one OF
the historic misspellings which oc'
casionally make old manuscripts
desirable. AS Mr.. Kerans put it:
President Washington no doubt
was more anxious to help along
the Big 6 than he was to improve
his copy-reading."
Names of Franklin and Jeffer
son appear frequently on those
early records of the Patent OF
flee. And the signature OF
Abraham Lincoln is affixed to an
application for a patent on a de
vice to alter the draft of boat
"such as buoyant chambers fol-
vessels of steam propulsion"

BAR DRAFTIN
SALESLAWS

Uniform sales laws for the Dis
trict of Columbia moved toward
enactment today with meetings
of two special committees of the
District Bar Association for study
of the legislation.
One committee, led by Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts, who
introduced uniform sales act
for the District in the last ses-
sion of Congress, is drawing up
another sales measure for preSen-
tation in the next session.
With Attorney Arthur j. Hill
land as chairman, the second
committee is working on a con-
ditional sales law. Patterned after
similar legislation now in effect
in many States, the law would
require recording Of any condi'
tional sale involving more than
$500 and would require renewal
of liens after a reasonable time
had expired since payments came
due. The proposed law would
also provide for dual recordings
of auto liens.
