of the Street

Work began today i'm the prepara-
uonS FOR the re-paving of North Gar

crossing to the city limits, and will be
pushcd ON to conclusion AS rapidly as
possible.
The first job in hand was the cut

between the edge of the paved side
walk and the gutter so as to make
way for the widening of the street
The street surface is to De extended
westward distance of as much as
three feet in some places. In others
the widening will be very little.
1t is understood the steam shovel
will arrive about Wednesday of this
week and will be put to work in ex-
cavation for the foundation of the
street.
Contract for the job was recently
let by the State Highway and Public
Works Commission for something in
excess of $4,000. IT is financed with
Federal road funds, due to the fact

city as far north as Andrews avenue.

ing cut down. A detOur Of several
Nlocks will have to be provided when
the tearing up of the old pavement is

ment authorities Of an affidavit

Speeches Cited
DR.. Miller pointed out that

Gated that "the negro gets his
rights through revolution or

presided without interference.
When Representative Charles

gestions?:

Peace Cross and shorten distance

Turn off Washins ton and Ralti-
more Boulevard into Medison

son Avenue across B. & o. rail
road, turn south one block into
Jefferson Avenue, follow Jefferson
across Edmonston Road and on
through Wildecroft to Defense
Highway at mile post 81 from
Peace Cross. This would help
traffic conditions on Washington
Baltimore Boulevard and Defense
Highway.
The distance from the Wash

he raped the "vicious" parole system,
recalling that Baby Face" Nelson,
who was public enemy No. l until
Justice agents guns got him, had been
paroled.
One out of every eight persons ar
rested in kidnapings, Hoover testified,
had received clemency either through
parole, probation, pardon, respite or
leave" from Jail.
Increase Big Factor.
The committee said the actual in
crease in funds for the Justice De-
partment, exclusive Of salary restora-
ton, was only approximately $1,516,-
600. Around $31 900 additional was
allowed for an increased staff to de-
fend the Government in customs cases.
A slight increase was given, also, for
enforcement of antitrust laws.
The committee figured the Com
merce Departments non-salary res
toration increase at only $153,299.
The Aeronautics Bureau was allowed
$5,90S, 300, an increase Of $398, 900
over 1885 appropriations, but $500
less than budget estimates.
The Commerce Departments major
increase was Of $29,950 over budget
estimates, or $182,400 for promoting
commerce in Central and South Amer
lea. The committee explained the
$4,000 boost over 1885 funds was
based upon information that the
territory to the south of us presents
a good field for trade exploitation and
that a reasonable outlay Of expense
by the way Of furnishing trade data
to American exporters will bring an
ultimate return to the Government In
the form Of income taxes many times
more than the amount appropriated.
A reflection Of recent ship disasters
was contained In the committees
recommendation that the Bureau Of
Navigation and Steamboat Inspection
be given the entire $1,598, 900 esti-
mated by the budget, or $233,l36 over

PUBLIC is BARRED
AT VALLEE HEARING
Judge Clears Court, Then Takes
Crooner and Wife Aside to
Discuss Case.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 4.-The
much postponed dispute between
Rudy Vallee, crooner, and his es-
tranged wife, Fay Webb Vallee. over
money matters came to trial in Su-
preme Court today. and forthwith
went into the conference stage.
Shortly after Justice Salvatore Co
till0 cleared the court room Of spec
tators, he retired TO his chambers
with the principals and their at
torneys.
This is not a hippodrome-it is a
court room" said Justice Cotillo in
excluding the public. People have
been calling me up for seats. They
want front-row seats, mind you"
Then he suggested the conference.
Il have thought about this matter"
he said. "And I want to tell the
Vallees just what I think about it."
The action Is an attempt by Mrs.
Vallee to have set aside a separation
agreement by which she gets 500 a
week from Rudy. She contends he
should be able to give her more
money, charging that he misrepre-
Sented his financial status when the
agreement was signed.
