APPEAL TO SENATE.
ON BUDGET LIKELY.
Restoration of Bureaus Fig.
ures to Be Sought by
Commissioners.
commissioners.

Striving to prevent . deficit next
fiscal year, which would throw TAI
boosts into perspective, the Commits
sioners will urge the Senate to re.
store the 1887 budget items to the
levels fixed by the Budget Bureau.
There was no official statement after
the Commissioners had surveyed the
unbalanced budget reported to the
House yesterday by the Blanton group
Of the House Appropriations Commit
tee. but plans were made to seek
Senate aid If the House approves the
bill as reported.
Especially, the Commissioners will
urge restoration of 100000 which
the subcommittee proposed to cut
from the Federal payment toward Ma
tional Capital expenses, which would
reduce the sum from $780, 900 to
$2,7O0,000. They will have such an
opportunity, even under the Treasury
gag rule" on administrative officers.
IL members of the District Subcomt-
mittee Of the Senate Appropriations
Committee asked their views.
Other Items Sought.
The Blanton bill sets up definite
expectations of revenue deficit at
the end of the next fiscal year of more
than 100000 even If not an addi-
tional dollar is appropriated as a
supplement to the 1896 act. The
Commissioners revealed yesterday
they will send to the Budget Bureau
later this week proposals for supple
mental items totaling $l,4O0,OO0.
Appropriation of this sum would
boost the deficit under the 1887 bill,
as it now stands, to some $4,000, 900.
OF the supplemental items, $500, 900
is for relief, urgently needed because
present funds will be exhausted by
April Is.
The financial plight into which the
District would be thrown by the bill
prepared under Blanton's direction
is revealed in calculations considered
yesterday by the Commissioners In
special session with Auditor Daniel
j. Donovan.
Would Terminate Surplus.
These showed that a general reve-
nue. surplus of $5,250,000 remaining
at the end of the 1885 fiscal year
and an expected surplus of s3.877, 900
at the end Of this fiscal year on June
80 would be wiped out by the end of
1887, when there would be a deficit
of about s2,200,000 if the supple
mental items are approved. or def
icit of more than 100000 If all Of
them were denied.
General revenues of the District for
next fiscal year, on the present tax
basis, but not including the special items
of water and gasoline taxes, are figured
to be s30,820,000. To this is added
the proposed reduced Federal pay
ment of $2,700,000. And to this would
be added net figure for this years
surplus after deducting supplemental
appropriations. The District had al
lowed for supplementals totaling
S450,000 in calculating a surplus of
$3,877 900. The sum of proposed sup
plementals now is s950,000 greater,
which, If approved. would bring the
net surplus down to $2,927 900.
The total general revenue fund
available next year then would be
$50, ATT 900. The general revenue APP
preparations proposed to the House to-
tai s38,592,833. The expected deficit
thus would amount to $2,145,833, as
Stunning the supplemental items for
this year are granted.

Severe Crilling of Rutland
For Health Talks Disclosed
Officer Told by Subcommittee Members
to Avoid Embarrassing People,
BY Public Statements.

DR.. George c. Rutland, city health
ofiicer. spent almost as much time
explaining to the District Appropria-
lions Subcommittee why he talked
for publication on health needs as
he did in actually stating the needs
according to the record Of the hear
ings made public yesterday.
Chairman Blanton, Democrat, OF
Texas, cited number of quota
lions from DR.. Rutland that ap-
peared in The Star and asked hini
to explain each Of them.
Before he concluded Representa-
tive Johnson, Democrat, of West Vir-
gina. interrupted to ask:
"why do you persist in running
to the newspapers and making state
ments that embarrass people? Those
statements are embarrassing"
II have been asked to appear be-
fore different civic groups. and they
have asked me to discuss the service"
DR.. Rutland replied.
Warned Against Discussions.
"You ought not to discuss matters
which are going to come here In ad-
vance of the hearing" Johnson de-
clared.
But this was through the Summer
that these people asked that some one
appear before them and tell them
something about the service"
The conversation continued:
Johnson-I do not think they ought
to ask you to do it.
Ruhland-But suppose that they do.
Johnson-I would decline.
Ruhland-But look here, shouldn't
We inform ourselves with regard to
the health status?
Johnson-I want to say this, that
this newspaper notoriety, so far as I
am concerned as a member of this
committee, does not do your depart
ment one bit Of good. And you can
convey that to the other doctors.
Ruhland-But how am I to con-
troll that?
Keep Out Of It,"
Johnson-keep away from 1t. Keep
out Of it. Some people would rather
be in the newspapers and herald things
here, there and everywhere than to
60 to heaven.
At that point Representative Otter,
Republican, of Pennsylvania, broke
in to inquire
What could result from your pre-
senting the facts to the people in an

HOOVER BRINGS PROOF
HE CAPTURED SAiLFISH
Oman Head Back From Florida
With Affidavit Certifying to
Catch Last Week.

Practicing what he breaches to his
agents about getting legal proof in
every case, j. Edgar Hoover, chief of
the Omen, has arrived back in Wash
ington from Miami with a sworn affi-
davit certifying that he really caught
a sailfish last week.
The certificate, issued by the Miami
Sailfish Club. is signed by Major A. D.
H. Fossey of Miami. H. w. Mittag,
president of the Miami Anglers Club,
and William Biers, weigh master. The
weigh master attested to the fact that
the Hoover catch weighed So pounds
and was feet Z inches long.

Smell of New York, the Republican
leader, said the tax message has pro-
claimed the official end of the breath
ing spell for business and offered
'ill-considered and reckless sugges-
tons.
In a formal statement, Smell said
the tax message docs not clarity the
administrations hopelessly tangled
budget situation in any important or
significant respect" adding:
The message also presents a new
offensive in the brain trusts subversive
warfare upon the Supreme Court Of
the United States
Smell said the administration tax
proposals appear to combine political
desperation and economic folly.
The new tax levies," he said, pro
pose an economic policy which, if
carried out by the Presidents obedi-
ent majority in Congress, would con-
fiscate for boondcggling the vital
working reserves of every industry
in the United States"
Opposition Expected.
Asked about opposition to the sug-
gested tax bill at his press conference,
Speaker Byrns replied:
"Of course, there Is. Wouldn't YOU
expect it from the corporations?
That's why it wasn't done 10 or j.
years ago-because of the opposition"
Representative Bankhead, Democrat
OF Alabama, the majority leader, said
that should the Ways and Means Com
mlttee accept such a bill, II should
think it would write in provisions for
reasonable reserve and the like"
"Oh, there is no question about it."
Byrns added.
why become so suddenly concerned
about a big reserve for corporations, +"
the Speaker asked, when it is not
done for partnerships, personal service
companies and so on? My judgment
is that the exemption shouldn't be
great"
Reserves Not Affected.
President Roosevelt was quick to
declare in press conference late yes
terday that the proposed taxes on
corporation profits would not apply
to reserves set up to cover depreci-
alton and to provide working capital.
What he aimed at, he indicated,
was profit which is held by corpora
tions in the form of surplus. He
argued this was a means of escaping
taxation and was unfair to small
stockholders who need the dividend
money.
Assailing the Presidents plan on
the House floor yesterday, Representa-
= tive Smell said accumulated SURPRISES
enabled many corporations to carry
on and give employment"
The President, talking on this point,
said reserves would not be taxable
and could be used in lean years to
pay wages or dividends. One aim of
the program, he said, is to increase
the velocity Of money.
He argued that many corporations,
capable of declaring dividends, failed
to do so because the people control
ling them preferred not to distribute
profits. Their control, he said, pre-
vented any one else from getting any
thing out of the companies.

Bob Tow Gains
Fifth Victory

CHICAGO, March 14.-Big Bob
Tow, giant 2O2 pound heavyweight
from Alexandria, Va, scored his
fifth straight tournament win
when he defeated Louis La Page
of Paterson, N. j., weighing 1874,
in a six round bout at the Sta
dium last night.
Tow started slow against his
smaller opponent and found it
hard to solve the low crouching
tactics of La Page.
In the closing part of fifth
frame Tow got to Louis and had
him in bad condition at the bell.
The last round saw the Virginian
stagger La Page twice during the
round and only the hanging on
tactics of La Page saved him from
a Knockout.

Scholastic fans will remember
this youngster if they go back to
the 1885 football season. He de-
veloped as a talented little back
field man for the Eastern High
School eleven toward the close
of the campaign.
Now Roy Michael is "out" for
track. AS might be expected, he
is a dash man and promises to
become quite a point scorer for
Coach Artie Boyd's entry in the
coming spring meets.
Right now, Michael is training
as best he can in the "Armory"

Coach Artie Boyd to give the
signal for outside work, as then
he will be able to show more of
his budding ability as a sprinter
