HAzEN HAS PLAN
FOR OLD HOSPITAL
Budget Hearing Told Tuber.
culosis Property Would
Aid Education.
BY DON s. WARREN.

Use of the old tuberculosis Hospital
property at Thirteenth and Upshur
streets for educational and recrea-
tional purposes, including new home
for the Wilson Teashers' College, was
proposed today by Commissioner Mel
vim c. Hazen as the city heads
opened the final session of their hear
ings on the 1888 budget requests OF
their department executives.
Hazen's statement came in response
to opposition voiced by Mrs. Horace
]. Phelps Of the Petworth Citizens
Association to use Of the site for any
sort of hospital purpose after the
present building Is vacated next jan
uary.
Meanwhile, talk OF additional taxes
continued to be injected into the
budget suggestions. William p
Thomas Of the Bladensburg Road
Citizens Association, while urging
provision of two new schools in his
section, proposed that the Commits
sioners advocate imposition of a spe-
cial school tax.
Weight Tax on Autos.
Witnesses at the hearings already
have before them nat declaration
by Budget Officer Daniel ]. Donovan
favoring adoption Of graduated
weight tax on motor vehicles, as a
substitute for the present personal
property tax on automobiles. as a
means of collecting an additional
81 .000, 900 a year from car owners.
While the Commissioners have not
committed themselves to Donovan's
proposal, made late yesterday. they
indicated by their questioning Of wit
nesses they are casting longing looks
at such q means Of boosting Dis
trict revenues.
The Commissioners are hoping for
q substantial boost of the Federal
payment next year, and say they will
make heavy slashes in the $58,000,-
convinced additional District tax rev.
enues must be found.
Hyde View on Gas Tax.
The contention that restriction of
gasoline tax funds to highway pur-
poses was unsound came from Dor
sey W. Hyde, formerly secretary of
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce, which now Is consolidated with
the Board Of Trade. Hyde appeared
as spokesman for group of organiza-
tions in or near Georgetown in sup
port of funds for night school opera
ton in that community.
When Commissioner Hazen asked
him what the Commissioners should
do with the 1898 budget, which ex-
ceeds present expected revenues by
nearly $18,000,000, Hyde said:
Speaking as an individual, I would
say there are certain needs that must
be met. do not care If taxes are
raised. would stand for more taxes.
Suggesting that gasoline tax funds
be diverted to general expenses of the
District, he agreed with Hazen that
the gas tax is one Of the easiest to

The Fascist radio station at Seville,
Spain, reported today that $50 govern
ment militiamen had been killed in
Madrid when insurgent planes bombed
their barracks and other strategic
points.
Strong columns Of Catalan reinforce
ments have arrived in Madrid, the
station added in reports sent from
Rabat in French Morocco.

from Jarez de la Frontera, said Fas-
cists had occupied Santa Barbara, near
San Sebastian, and that $50 govern

From Burgos came announcement by
Fascist commanders that their forces
had advanced 10 miles closer to Madrid
on the northern front.
San Sebastian Surrounded.
San Sebastian, with defenders fight
ing in the streets, was reported en-
circled late today by 10000 Fascist
troops and $50 pieces of artillery.
The reinforced troops and field
guns were moved up in preparation
for a major assault at dawn tomor-
row, following the governments re-
lection of Gen. Emilio Mola's sur
render ultimatum.
Refugees to st. Jean de Luz,
France, said shells were fired at San
Sebastian's outskirts today. They re-
ported disorders in the streets of the
Basque resort, with even the life of
Gov. Ortesa threatened.
Fascist armies and jealous militia
men of the united left front inaugu-
rated the ninth week of the civil war
today with bloody fighting southwest
of Madrid and chaos in the streets of
San Sebastian.
Government forces, struggling to
stem the advance on the capital in
the Talavera de Ia Reina sector, de-
clared their positions were i'm

defeat of Fascist advance yesterday.
Grim, black, Fascist bombers roared
overhead, blasting at the government
lines.
Street Fighting in City.
Refugees from the northern resort
of San Sebastian told of street fight
ing between Basque nationalists and
anarchists, the dissenting defenders,
while Fascist big guns plopped shells
in the city's outskirts.
The defense high command coldly
rejected an insurgent threat to blow
San Sebastian to pieces" unless it
surrendered quickly, but the trouble
within the city grew out of Basque
determination to prevent its destruc-
ton. no matter what happens. The
anarchists want to burn San Sebastian
rather than let it fall in Fascist hands.
On the other hand the Fascists,
blaming Anarchists for the burning
OF Irun before it fell, have refused to
promise general amnesty to the San
Sebastian defenders, even if they give
up.
In Toledo itself, on the southwest
ern front, hundreds of desperate Fas-
cists, all but entombed in the she'll
battered Alcazar atop the city, made
q sudden sortie on SQUADS of govern
ment workers who were trying to tun-
mel into the building. They were
beaten back, however, after brisk
fighting in the darkened streets.

They need a catcher more than
they need anything else. 1t is

that Frank Pytlak is back in tip

mains that Pytlak was on the mar

would gamble on him regaining
"that perfection Of condition" so
widely advertised in Cleveland.
Lack Major Caliber
Charley George, the hefty Greek
from Brunswick, Ca, who was
with Albany last year; Joe Becker
of the San Francisco Seals; and
Bob Garback of Toledo's Mudhens
are the young catchers trying for
a place with the Indiars. That
is not the strongest lineup you
might name for a major league
club.
All things considered, the In
dians will present practically the
same team this spring as that
which closed the 1885 season.
There are no recruit infielders on
the roster. Only one outfielder
will make his bow. That is j. ].
Gleason of New Orleans, the In
dian farm.
Al Milnar, stricken with appen-
dicitis in training camp last year,
will be back again. This young
lefthander is heralded as a most
promising youth, with a real fast
ball and a peach Of a curve.
Steve O'Neill will attempt to go
through a season with only five
infielders, a very good trick if he
can do it. Not that playing ball
every afternoon should be a trial
on the men who choose that
method of making a living, but it
is rare that some bad luck does
not overtake a club.
Berger'S Berth Doubtful
Hal Trosky, the hitter of long
flies over the right field fence, will
be at first. Either Bozie Berger
or Roy Hughes will be at second
base. If Berger cannot improve
in his hitting, the probabilities
are that he will not get very far

Hughes seems to be the more nat.

bad News" Hale, the third
baSeman, is Slugger and good
defensive player, while Bill Knick'
erbocker is all right at ShortStop.
There are few better Shortstops in
the field today.
Earl Averill and Joe Vosmik are
fixtures in center and left fields
respectively. If Bruce Campbell
can retain his strength after a
truly miraculous recovery from
meningitis, he probably will be
in right field again. If he is not
there, then Milt Galatzer will hold
down the position.
Johnny Allen, acquired in trade
from the New York Yankees, may
help the Indians, and indeed,
should help them. Allen is fast
ball pitcher Of more than average
ability. When he starts that side
arm fast ball popping, he usually
wins. Harder, of course is one OF
the aces of the league, and is still
in his most effective years.
Oral Hildebrand, the angular
right handler, is entitled to rank
with the best on ability, speed and
physical attributes. He is not con
siStent, however,
