D. c. SUPPLY BILL
COMES UP MONDAY
House Appropriations Com.
mittee Expected to Report
S41,0O0,000 Total.

Preparations were made by the
House Appropriations Committee to-
day to report the 1896 District supply
bill Monday.
The full committee will meet Mon
day morning at 1890 to give its ap-
proval to the bill as framed by the
subcommittee headed by Representa-
tive Cannon, Democrat, of Missouri
Immediately afterward the measure
will be placed on the House calendar
and probably passed by the middle Of
the week.
Members of the subcommittee nave
indicated that the measure will follow
closely the recommendations of the
Budget Bureau and carry apprcpria-
tions totaling about $41, 900 900. The
subcommittee, however, Is understood
to have made several changes in the
budget report, increasing some items
and reducing others, without mate
rally altering the total figure of SAL
900 900.
Due to the incompletion OF the tax
study being made by Treasury experts
at the direction of President RooSe-
velt, the bill will be reported with a
provision fixing the Federal obligation
to the expenses of the District at
$500 900. Chairman Cannon ex-
planned this figure can be changed
later either in the House or Senate If
the President recommends an increase.
The Sal 100000 budget is prede-
Gated on continuation of the existing
$1.50 tax rate and will completely
wipe out an estimated surplus of more
than 100000 in the general reve-
nues of the District at the close of the
present fiscal year.

GRAIN FUTURES ACT
QUESTIONED IN SUIT
Chicago Securities Dealer Asks
Court Test of Legality
of Commission.

The first court test of the authority
of the Grain Futures Act Adminlstra-
ton Commission, composed OF three
cabinet officers, was filed in District
Supreme Court today by Thomas M.
Howell, a stocks and securities dealer
of Chicago.
The suit alleges Howell has been
charged with violating the grain fu-
lures act of 1922 by conspiring to
manipulate the price Of corn on the
Chicago Board of Trade and by keep
ing improper records Of his transac-
tions. He has been summoned to ap-
pear January IA at hearing in Chi
cago, and, if found guilty, he may be
refused trading privileges on the lead
ing security and stock exchanges of
the country.
Asserting this action is unconstitu-
tional, he asked the court for an in
junction to prevent Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wallace, Attorney General
Cummings and Secretary of Commerce
Roper, the members Of the commits
sion from proceeding with the case.
Howell asserts the proceedings are
illegal because they are judicial in
character, although the commission
does not constitute court. Through
Attorney John Walsh he also claims
he will be required to submit papers
and records at the hearing in viola
ton Of the protection afforded him
in this respect by the Constitution.

Loses IL, House.

The Mcleod amendment to the in
dependent offices appropriation bill,
providing immediate restoration Of the
remaining per cent of the Govern
ment pay cut, was killed In the House
today on point Of order.
AS soon as the amendment was
offered for consideration Represent
ative Woodrum, Democrat. Of Virginia,
in charge of the bill, made point Of
order that it was not germane be-
cause of its legislative feature.
His point was sustained by Repre-
sentative Parsons of Illinois, who was
presiding.
Woodrum pointed out that the inde-
pendent offices bill carries appropria-
tions for the next fiscal year, and that
the Mcleod amendment would have
to be classed as new legislation since
it provides appropriations for the cur
rent fiscal year.
Mcleod then announced he would
offer his pay restoration plan as an
amendment to the first deficiency ap-
preparation bill-whereby such oppo-
sition could not be raised.
