IN SENATE
SEEKS BUDGET
BALANCING
New Condition Fights Relief
Bill, Demands President
Amortize Huge Debt
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service


While Administration leaders
sought compromise on the pre-
vailing wage controversy over
President Roosevelt's 4,800-million-
dollar work relief bill, a bi-
partisan Senate coalition today
organized a drive to force the
Government to start balancing
the budget"
Coalition leaders privately
charged the Government would
have the Stupendous Indebtedness
of $4,000 million dollars by the
end of the next fiscal year. They
declared the reported public debt
of $4,000 million dollars was but
a portion of the Governments
total outstanding indebtedness.
The higher sum, they added, in
cIuded such debts as the unpaid
soldiers bonus. postal savings,
guarantees Of the bond issues Of
emergency agencies and out
standing currency.
Special Sinking Fund
The coalition will offer an
amendment to the Presidents
bill, forbidding expenditure Of
any part Of the 4,ss0-milliondol-
lar work fund until the Admin.
istration has taken steps to amor
tie the debt by imposing new
taxes and segregating the revenue
in a special sinking fund.
The issue raised would be
whether the Government shall
take steps now to balance its bud
get, as promised by both parties
in their 1892 platforms before
spending another huge sum.
The Presidents bill faced q
tortuous legislative future. All
efforts to compromise the differ
ences between Mr.. Roosevelt and
the liberal bloc Of the Senate
on the wage issue have failed.
A counter proposal, offered by
Senator Robinson CD of Arkan.
sas, with reported presidential
blessing, was given a cool re-
ception by the liberals, who in
sisted they were battling for a
great principle which could not
be compromised.
Bitterly Attacked
Several other threats endanger.
ed the bills future. One was the
drive of conservative Democrats
to discard the whole work pro-
gram, slash the appropriation to
ST 1880, 100000 and confine its use
to direct relief and the sort Of
"made-work" now familiar to all
communities. Some observers be-
lieved this would be the final fate
of the bill.
Other attacks will come from
the initiation and silver blocS.
The inflationists, led by Senator
Wheeler (DD of Montana, want
to pay the 4,800 million dollar
cost through issuing U. S. Treas
ury notes, which would be retired
over a long period of years.

nOunced that the jurist's cOndi.
ton was "a bit weaker" Mr..
Howe said the attending doc
tors we're still administering
oxygen, but were not alarmed.
An atmosphere of cheerfulneSs
was apparent today at the big red
brick house at 1920 I Street, where
former Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes was fighting what seemed
to be winning battle against
bronchial pneumonia and his
nearly "a years.
With his ninety-fourth birthday
anniversary due next Friday, the
jurist whose decisions have caused
him to be hailed throughout the
world as the personification of lib
eralism was still teasing his nurses,
riding" his physicians and jok-
ing with callers. From the bed
side the morning bulletin said
only:
Condition unchanged"
But the real news of what
those closest to him regard as a
remarkable fight for life came in
reports of his own mental atti"
tude and reSurgent vitality.
La Toilette Calls
Senator Robert M. (Young
Bob La Toilette of Wisconsin,
first of the days callers, COM
mented on this as he left:
"Justice Holmes is showing
an amazing vitality. This has
been one of his characteristics
as long as 1 have known him."
One of those who is greatly
concerned over his illness, but
convinced he will recover, is
Margaret Cottingham, $500 block
T st. N. w., who has been a
maid in the Holmes household
since the Justice and the late
Mrs. Holmes first came to Wash.
ington in 1902, at the time cf
his appointment to the Supreme
Court.
For several days the Justice
stayed at a boarding house of
which she was the proprietor
Thereafter she and Edward
Holmes, his nephew, found the
house in which he has since
lived. and when the Justice and
his wife moved in they asked
the boarding house keeper to
come with them. She did so.
She said today at the house
81 am terribly worried, but
just feel certain that the JUS
tice will pull through all right.
He is such a marvellous man."
Concerning Mrs. Holmes, Miss
Cottingham said:
"She was lovely, good
woman. She will have been
dead six years come the last
day of April"
Hughes Is Caller
Shortly before noon Chief JUS
tice Charles Evans Hughes called,
remaining at the house for 10
minutes. He said:
"All I can say is that he is
showing extraordinary vitality"
Asked if he had seen the for.
mer Justice, the Chief Justice
said:
81 should rather not say"
A few minutes later Associate
Justice William Hitz of the Dis
trict Court of Appeals dropped in.
He was unable to see the patient
Leaving the house, he told re-
porters that he understood the
doctors regarded Justice Holmes
as ever so slightly improved over
yesterday" but still "as sick as
any man can be-"
Scores of passersby, including
both motorists and pedestrians
stopped momentarily during the
day to inquire as to the patients

colin lets his lue Bird loose on
the beach, he probably will go
after new mark.
Should he not realize his objec-
tive of a new record today, Mr..
Sturm said Sir Malcolm probably
will make the run tomorrow.
AS the giant Blue Bird was
towed to the beach from its garage
where it has been housed for weeks
awaiting favorable beach condi.
tions, thousands thronged the
ocean dunes along the lengthy
race course to witness the spec.
tacle.
Weather conditions were pro-
nounced ideal. The visibility was
good and a slightly cloudy sky
game sufficient light without glare
to make the course clear. The
beach, however, was not in the
best possible condition, but Sir
Malcolm, irked by over four weeks
of inaction, was eager to go after
the record.
After inspecting the beach he
said he would make the run but
would not indicate at what speed.
He said:
"It will depend entirely on
how the car and beach feel"
In previous runs, however, the
Britisher has announced he was
making trial spin, only to open
the throttle wide and set a new
record.
Wife Watches
AS Sir Malcolm waited at the
upper end of the course for his
mechanics to give the Blue Birc
its final tuning, Lady Campbell
and their daughter, Jean H.
stood in the watch tower over
looking the record mile to watch
the speed dash.
Both said they were confident
he would set a new world record.
Prior to Sir Malcolm'S appear
ance on the beach siren from
the fire tower sent forth two wild
ShriekS, the signal announcing
that the Blue Bird would be taken
to the beach.
With this the 600 city and
county employees who prepare the
beach for the speed dashes leaped
into action.
Flags were staked the length OF
the course. the oil stripe was
quickly laid, and the beach was
blocked off and patrolled as q
safety measure.
