P0T0MACHIGH,
FLOOD FEARS
SECUTED
3 Feet Above Normal
at HagerstoWn as
Ice Breaks Up

Despite reports from Hagers-
town, Md, that the Potomac is
three feet higher than normal in
that vicinity, rivermen here and
farther upstream today secuted
the possibility of a flood.
Throughout the winter authori-
ties who have watched the prankS
of the stream for many years have
maintained that only a sudden
thaw in the Snow-covered noun
tainS around Harper'S Ferry, fol-
lowed by severe rain, could raise
the river to dangerous proportions.
At Harper's Ferry it was re-
ported that the Potomac is sweep
ing along normally, and that the
small amount Of snow on the hills
is disappearing gradually without
swelling the stream.
The Shenandoah was also said
to be quiet.
Hagerstown reports that the
temperature rise during the last
two days will break up river ice in
that locality by Thursday. Tribu-
tary streams were said to be rising.
At Seneca, Md, 20 miles above
the District line, rivermen declared
"all's WE'LL" predicting that the ice
would break up without damage.
Attendants at the intake station
at Great Falls asserted that danger
is improbable. While the river Is
one foot above normal at that
point, there is little ice except
above the dam leading to the in
take for the conduit leading to
Dalecarlia Reservoir.
Harbor police here laughed when
asked if a flood is expected. The
Potomac around Washington is
flowing in routine fashion, they
said,

0VERSTREE 7
FREE TO RUN

Way was paved today by the
District Commissioners for Police
man H. M. Overstreet, Fourth
Precinct. to conduct his campaign
for the presidency of the United
States when they accepted his
resignation from the police force.
But Mr.. Overstreet didn't wait
until the resignation was accepted
formally before launching his
campaign. He called at the Dis
trict Building yesterday to draw
down what money was coming to
him, but was informed this could
not be done until an order approx
ing the resignation had been
signed.
The dark horse" in the presi-
Dental race let it be known he
wanted the money to open his
campaign in Harrisburg, Pa. It
was reported that he went to
Harrisburg last night and made
campaign speech, leaving instruc-
tions with District officials to
mail him his check so that he
could come back to the District.
Policeman Overstreet was ap-
pointed in 1892. He submitted
his resignation last week to Capt.
Jerry Sullivan, of the Fourth pre-
cinct, saying he was going to
campaign for the presidency and
didn't want to embarraSs the
Commissioners by retaining his
job while doing so.

Trial of 81 alleged bootleggers
on conspiracy charges, which has
been in progress in District Su-
preme Court for the past two
weeks, passed into its second phase
at noon today when the Govern
ment announced that it had COM
pleted its case.
AS the Government rested, the
equity division of the court was
docketing a divorce action filed
against John Manoi, one of the
principal defendants in the con-
spiracy trial, by his wife Mrs.
Marian M, Manoi of I'LL Fourth
st. S. E.
Mrs. Manoi, through Attorney

court that she married Manoi, an
Italian subject, on December 6,
1925, and they have one child.
She named correspondent.
While Manoi has always dressed
and conducted himself "as a
gentleman of leisure" Mrs. Manoi
says she has been informed that
for the past four years he has
been engaged in the bootlegging
business.

Alcohol Tax Unit, was the last OF
81 witnesses who testified for the
Government in this, the largest

THEBUDGET
Hazen to Accompany
Civic Leaders In
Plea to Bureau

Full support of the District Com.
missioners today was thrown be-
hind the movement originated by
the District Medical Society to
have estimates originally made by
the city heads for public health
restored to the municipal budget
for the 1887 fiscal year.
This action was taken after q
group of IA medical, church and
covic organization leaders, who
were appointed a committee to pc
tition aid for the city heads at a
mass meeting February Is, called
at the District Building and pre-
sented their requests to the city
heads.
Grave Emergency
At the conclusion of the meet
ing, Commissioner Melvin C.
Hazen agreed to accompany the
committee to the Budget Bureau
and request that original estimates
sent to the bureau by the city
heads for the 1887 fiscal year
health program be restored.
He also agreed to send a letter
to the bureau urging this same
end. The letter is to accompany
resolution adopted by the COM
mittee, citing the slashes in the
estimates for the health and pub
lie wslfare departments and de-
claring such cuts created a grave
emergency in the health program
for the District.
The resolution was read to the
Commissioners By DR.. Prentiss
Wilson, of the District Medical
Society. 1t pointed when the prep
aration Of the budget was in its
early stages, department heads
were called upon to submit esti-
mates of needs for the coming
year and to hold the estimates
down to minimum.
Budget Figures
The Health Department asked
for $605,000, which was cut to
$4,000 by the Commissioners
and Slashed to $507,O0 by the
Budget Bureau. Public welfare
items which the committee was
concerned with were:
Adult tuberculosis hospitals, in.
cluding the one at Fourteenth and
UpShur Streets Northwest, original
estimate, $602, 900; cut to $429, 900
by the Commissioners; $316,O 900 by
the Budget Bureau.

torium, Glenn Dale, Md, original
estimate $283, 900; cut to 1927 900

mate $789,000; cut to $7O6, 900 by
the Commissioners; $679 900 by
the Budget Bureau.
SS,OOO,OOO Cut Off
The committee contended that
even the original estimates sought
by the department heads were not
adequate and up to ordinary
health standards.
Commissioner Hazen explained
that some $8,000,0O0 were cut
from estimates of all department.
heads and added both the health
department and welfare board
had to take their cuts along with
other departments.
In addition to urging the COM
mittee to go before the Budget
Bureau, Commissioner Hagen also
urged the members to appear be-
fore the Senate Appropriations
subcommittee for the District
when it opens hearings on the Dis.
