ly After Arrival

Bringing Lieut.. A. j. Carpenter,
new temporary commander for the
patrol boat Morris, the U. S. c. c..
Cyane, arrived at Juneau late Sat-
urday afternoon, with mail from
Ketchikan.
The Cyane, commanded by Lieut..
Comdr. w. r. Richards, has been
undergoing repairs at drydock in
Puget Sound and came direct to
Juneau from Seattle, except for a
short stop at Ketchikan. The Cy-
ane has just been completely over
hauled. except for a few minor de-
tails which will be attended to when
she makes run to Seattle some
time next month.
The Cyane brought no mail from
the States. as it had been sent on
the Princess Louise. Immediately
after the arrival here of the Cyane,
Lieut.. Carpenter took over the COM
mand of the Morris from Boat
swain P. E. Lloyd, and that vessel
which had already been loaded with
mail, proceeded TO the Westward.
The Cyane bears two new mod
ern instruments of navigation which
have just been installed. A new
master gyro compass, with three
repeaters, allows striking of true
north without interference of the
magnetic pole. The instrument
points to true north at any speed
or position Of the vessel, and does
not respond to interference of met
ais. The three repeaters are placed,
one on each wing, and one on the
bridge.
The other new instrument aboard
the Cyane is an electrically con-
trolled fathomer, which shows the
depth from the bottom of the hull

As Years. Serrice for District
Rounded Out by Maj. Donouan
auditor Began as Clerk
in Assessors Office
at 5000 a Year.
RY DON s. WARREN,


Back in the horse e-and-buggy" days
of 1891 mere STRIPPING of is years
started to work for the municipal
government as clerk in the assessors
Office. His salary was 5000 year.
The STRIPPING of those days now IS
one of the most important cogs in the
municipal service. He holds the most
titles of any official on the city pay
roll, draws one of the largest salaries
and can-and does-quote floods of
facts and figures from history on Dis
trict finance and law.
In short, he is Maj. Daniel j. Dono-
van. Friday he observed his 45th an
niversary in city service, but said
nothing about it. In fact, he tried to
keep it quiet. Consequently the ami
versary went unnoticed by all District
officials, except a few in his confidence
The major passed the day struggling
over the toughest job Of his long ca
reer-preparation of the budget for
the next fiscal year.
Nine Years Yet to Go.
Maj. Donovan is only 60. despite his
45-year career. He can serve the gov
ernment for nearly nine years before
reaching retirement age. That would
mean more than SO years with the
District government.
Maj. Donovan has been auditor for
the last II years. He seems to thrive
on the daily struggle with accounts
and the continuous problems of budg-
cts. He is in better health now than
he was 10 years ago.
To get back to the "horse-and- bug
gy'' days. The fiscal year during which
he entered District service, expendi-
lures totaled about s6,000,000. Wash
ington was a village then. The Dis
trict budget for the last fiscal year
amounted to more than $4,000, 600
about TOO per cent greater.
Back in 1892 the Federal payment
to expenses of the National Capital
was s2,s6l .469, or approximately equal
to half of the general tax collections
from District residents. For the pres
ent fiscal year Congress has pro-
vided but s5,O0O,O00, or less than
double what 1t was IS years ago.
Had Representative Blanton Of
Texas had his way, the payment for
this year would have been cut down
to s2,7oo,o00. or back to where it was
in the "horse-and-buggy days"-or
below where it was when Maj. DON
ovan started his 45-year career with
the District.
Maj. Donovan's influence Is felt in
all District departments. Not only is

5,681,O0O NEEDY
AIDED IN MARCH
w. P. A. Report Indicates In
crease in Total Receiv-
ing Relief.
nv the Associated Press.

By tnt ASSoclateu FTeeS'
A report indicating that more needy
unemployed were receiving help from
the Federal, State and local govern
ments In March this year than in
March, 1885, was made public yeSter-
day by the Works Progress Admins
tration.
The W. p. A. estimated that $780,
600 families and single persons-in
addition to the 3,751,000 who had
Federal work relief jobs last March
were on direct relief in that month.
The combined total is 5,6S1 900 cases,
while previous F. E. r. A. reports
showed 5,463,6 received relief Of
some kind in March, 1885.
The nearly 100000 families and
single persons on direct relief were
largely being handled by States and
local communities this year, whereas
a year ago they were under the F. E.
r. A. program.
Yesterdays w. P. A. report said
employment by all work relief agen-
cies declined to 3.303.559 on June 81.
1886 this figure including 2,255, 1898
w. p A. jobs.
Decline to Amplify Report.
w P. A. officials declined to ampli-
fy the report, except to say that the
3,751.000 employed on work relief
projects last March included many
who had not actually been on relief.
The report said Is per cent of works
program employees on June 81 were
not from relief sources.
Officials said they had only esti-
mates of the direct relief rolls in
many States because care Of needy
persons unable to work had been
turned back to States and communi-
ties last December. Leftover Federal
funds, however. supplied $4,000, 900
of the cost of direct relief since then.
The report estimated direct relief
cases declined from 2,l50000 in jan
. uary this year to $4,000 in March,
adding:
The large decrease during the year
was caused chiefly by transfers to
the works program, the majority OF
; which took place in November and
December. 1885. The slight decline
; from January to March, 1886, may be
attributed in part to works program
and private employment, and also to
I, the decline in funds available for
general relief and to the increase in
the number Of persons receiving bene-
fits under the social security act"
Table Draws Attention.
A table showing the percentage OF
relief labor employed by different
agencies drew attention in view of
President Roosevelt's recent insistence
that P. w. A. projects use more
workers from relief rolls.
On June 81. the table said, 704
per cent of the workers on P. w. A
projects. and SIS per cent Of those on
p. w. A. low-cost housing develop
mentS were not from relief lists.
About IS per cent Of the 2,255, ,89t
w. P. A. workers, however, were list.
ed as formerly on relief.

cent Of the 259,405 high school stu
dents receiving S6 month from the
