BUDGET HEARINGS
TO Be HELD EARLY
House Committee to Meet
Before Session on D. c.
and Federal Set.ups.

month before Congress recon-
venes in January, members of the
House Appropriations Committee are
to be called back to Washington to
begin hearings on the 1887 Federal
and District budgets.
The budget activities, under tenta-
tive plans disclosed today, will start
the first week in December SO when
Congress returns, 1t will have sew
eral appropriation bills ready for con-
sideration.
committee in turning out the supply
bills will depend entirely on the
Budget Bureau, which Is now at work
on the estimates OF some Of the
Government establishments.
ID. C. Budget to BE Late.
Last year the District budget was
among the first considered due to
several unusual situations. This year,
however, 1t probably will be among
the last. Ordinarily, the District
budget, the smallest the committee
has to consider, is sidetracked until
hearings are completed on the esti-
mates Of the various Federal depart
ments.
1t so happened last year that the
District budget was among the first
received by the committee from the
Buget Bureau. And it also happened
that the subcommittee, which handles
the District bill, was one of the few
that was organized. The other sub
committees, with the exception Of the
one headed by Representative Wood
rum, Democrat, Of Virginia, which
considers the independent Offices sup
ply bill, had to wait for Congress to
convene in January TO begin work be-
cause Of an incomplete personnel.
This year, however, the subcom-
mittees all are intact and will remain
so throughout the session. And the
Budget Bureau has indicated the
budget parade will be led by some
of the large Government departments.
The subcommittee, which will cor
slider the 1887 District budget, will be
composed OF Representatives Cannon
Missouri; Blanton, Texas, and Jacob
son, Iowa, all Democrats, and Otter
Pennsylvania. Republican.
A delay OF month or so In be-
ginning consideration OF the District
budget will not have any particular
significance, because the appropria-
tons for the 1887 fiscal year will not
become available until next July /.
Even though the District bill got an
early start last year, 1t was among
the last of the appropriation measures
to clear the legislative hurdle. due to
a protracted deadlock among House
ana Senate conferees over various
items inserted by the Senate.
Buchanan Enjoying Rest.
Chairman Buchanan of the Appro-
priations Committee has gone to his
Texas home for q rest before return
ing to Washington to direct the franz
ing of the appropriation bills-a task
that undoubtedly will be more difficult
than ever because of his determine
ton to cut down Government ex-
penditures and balance the budget, II
possible.
Orders already have gone to the
Budget Bureau to trim estimates to
the bone, and If tradition is followed,
the Appropriations Committee will
make some additional reductions be-
fore 1t sends the various supply bills
to the House.

cars have been carried many feet from

when we found the water still
rising we made our way to the rail-
road track. Placing ourselves behind
the grade, we dug holes into the earth
under the cross ties, so we would pro-
tect our heads from the flying debris.
This was the only way we could IND
to keep our brains from being crushed
out. We stayed on the railroad track

Sick and Injured Aided.
"At daybreak Tuesday We found a
tank car full Of water, which offered
refuge from the wind, and a number
of others built a fire and made coffee
for the sick and injured. There we
remained until later In the afternoon,
when we were rescued through the
others, who took us across Snake

We then were placed on trucks and
brought to the mainland.

even q rough estimate OF how far he
is going in reducing the personnel OF
these agencies, but he made it plain
he Is going to demand something sub
stantial. He made this evident when,
in a reply to a question, he recalled
that when the N. r. A. was dealt its
death blow. there were 1900 employees
on his rolls and that short time
afterward this number had been cut
to $780, He said even this does not
suit him and that further reductions
must be made in the personnel of that
agency.
The director of the budget will care
fully check all rolls Of employees, ana
the salary of each, and by January l
he will decide how many are necessary.
Praises III. o. L. C.
Mr.. Roosevelt went on to explain
that as these various emergency
agencies get into the management
stage there will be consultations for
the purpose of saving money and to
promote efficiency. He added that the
cost Of managing some of these
agencies, especially those which have
been operating so-called credit bust
ness, should not run much higher
than the operating costs of private
concerns in similar business. He said
private mortgage concerns operate on
q certain percentage of profit and he
feels that these Government agencies
soon will be able to do the same.
The President apparently was not
inclined to engage in a detailed sum-
mary of what agencies he considered
most responsible for improved eco
nomic conditions, but he did call at
tention to the contribution of the
H. o. L. c. He pointed out that
100000 homes had been saved from
foreclosure: that more than a mil
lion farms had been saved to the
owners and that 1000 banks had been
rescued. Besides this, the President
pointed with pride to the reduction in
credit rates. He recalled that Dor
rowing costs have been reduced to an
average of per cent.

Danish Vessels Top Masts
Broken 0ff-Crew. Be.

A second vessel is ashore in the
Florida hurricane area. the steamship
Leise Maersk, according to dispatches
received at Coast Guard headquarters
here
This ship, belonging to the Isbrand-
stem Moller Co. of New York, was
SAID to have drifted ashore in the
hurricane inside of Alligator Reef
and was standing on coral sand bot
tom. Both topmasts were reported
broken, with considerable other dam
age to the vessel, but the crew was
said to be safe. She is a ship out of
Denmark, of 5000 gross tons. as
compared to the 5000 gross tonnage of
the Dixie, the first ship to be stranded
in the storm. The Dixie is ashore
20 miles north of the Danish vessel.
Guard Ships on Job.
Additional Coast Guard ships were
ordered out of the Norfolk division
and from Mississippi Coast Guard
stations today to assist in the relief
work.
The lives of fishermen in at least
20 small fishing boats in the Gulf of
Mexico were believed to have been
saved by a new system Of warning
given them by a Coast Guard am
phibian plane flying out of st. Peters
burg.
Piloted by Lieut.. Watson A. Burton
Of the Coast Guard, this plane COW
cred a wide area in the Gulf along
the prospective path of the oncoming
hurricane and spotted at least 40 OF
the small boats.
According TO a signal system which
had been communicated to all fisher
men by mail in advance, the pilot
dropped from his plane near each boat
or group of boats a small wooden block
flying a yellow pennant as an emer-
gency warning that hurricane was
on the way and for those boats to
scurry for shore. They were all re-
ported to have made the coast safely
before the hurricane struck.
Cutters Standing BY.
Early this afternoon Coast Guard
headquarters announced that two cut
tiers, the Saukee and the Carrabassett,
were standing by the Dixie and other
vessels. including the powerful new
165-foot patrol boat Pandora, were
speeding to the rescue.
Coast Guard planes, including the
huge flying hospital ship, Arcturus,
were surveying the storm area. but
Coast Guard officials said the weather
probably was too rough for them to
land. These planes, however, carry
all kinds of warning devices, radio
and food supplies and are of great
value in reconnaissance work.

still others twisted their feet in pain

There the first clear story Of the

Charles Van Vechten, who was not
