BANK PAy-0FF
UNDER WAY

Payment of a third installment
to depositors and creditors Of the
closed Commercial National Bank
at Fourteenth and G Streets
Northwest began today.
This installment, following pre-
vious payments of 20 and 80 per
cent to creditors, gives an addi-
tional 10 per cent return on the
original amount owed by the
bank to the creditors.
The sum of 5000, 900 will be dis
tributed in this installment to
some $4,000 creditors and de-
positorS.
When the banks doors opened
this morning the payoff was light
but steady. Officials estimated
that the half dozen tellers would
be able to handle the demands
Of depositors without undue de-
lay. No line formed at the pay
ing windows during the early
hours.
From the statement of the
receiver. it would appear deposi-
tors will get another dividend,
though not in 1896.

SENATE PLANS
HEALTHFUND
HEARINGS
Thomas Group to Give
D. c. Heads Time
On Dire Need

WaShington'S medical fraternity,
the District Commissioners and
any civic bodies interested in an
increase in the public health funds
in the 1887 budget will given a
full hearing in Congress it was
promised today.
Despite the tactics Of Represen-
tative Thomas L. Blanton (D0
Texas, chairman of the House Ap-
propriationS Subcommi tee for the
District, ample opportunity will be
provided for a thorough discus
sion of the matt ,r in the Senate.
Senator Elmer Thomas CD of
Oklahoma, chairman Of the Sen
ate Appropriations subcommittee
is ready to hear the views of any
persons concerned when the bill
comes into his hands after 1t
passes the House.
Senator Thomas said today that
because of his other pressing
duties he was not able to make a
personal detailed study of the
needs Of the District and had
therefore adopted the policy of
relying on the District Commis-
sioners to give him all information
as to the financial needs Of the
District.
When his attention was called to
the rule forbidding the Commis-
sioners to plead for more funds
than are allotted in the budget,
Senator Thomas said:
Il have read something about
the fight over the public health
situation in the House. The.
like to fight Ove~ there some
times for the fun Of fighting.
"Since I have made it .
policy to rely implicitly on the
report Of the District COmmiS-
SiOners, the city heads will be
absOlved of their duty to ad-
here to the rule against Lring-
ing up matter not in the
budget II ask them Specif-
ieally about q certain subject.
81 lave not personally &c
ceived any calls or letters on
the matter but when the bill
comes up before my committee
If any members Of the medical
profession or civic bodies wish
to bring up the matter, we will
have the District COmmiS-
SiOners there and ask them
about it. i will be guided by
what they havc to say"

D. f. MEMBER
FC0NGRESS
FAVORED
Both Parties Expected
To Include Provision
In Platforms

Possibility that both the Repub-
hcan and Democratic platforms to
be drawn at the June conventions
will carry plankS calling for the
election Of a delegate to Congress
from the District Of Columbia ap-
peared today.
It already has been learned that
both Democratic and Republican
members of the House who expect
to be delegates to their respective
national conventions are seriously
considering offering resolutions for
such a purpose when their conven-
tions are in session.
Data Gathered
Both have expressed keen inter.
est in such a proposal and have be-
gun gathering considerable data
on which they will base their argu-
mentS for the inclusion Of such Q
plank, If they finally determine to
make such proposals.
These members have declared
that granting the District the
right to elect a delegate to the
House would provide Congress
with a better means of determin-
ing the sentiment Of the people Of
the National Capital and would
provide the people with a focal
point to which they could take
their grievances.
They point out that, although
members of the House and Senate
District Committees give as much
time as possible to the problems
Of the local government. 1t Is i'm
possible for them to make detailed
studies of these issues because Of
the innumerable other duties
which they must perform in be.
half Of their own constituents ana
in studying important national
legislation.
Citizens Views Unknown
The present method Of turning
to the District Commissioners for
recommendations on legislation Is
satisfactory, they explain, from
the point Of view Of determining
the policy of the National Admin
istration on these questions, but
the Commissioners are not IN a
position to know definitely the SEN
timent Of the local citizens on the
questions affecting them.
At present, Congress must rely
on the citizens organizations and
other civic groups for this sound
ing-out process, but many mem
bers of the House and Senate
have asserted that they do not
believe this comes nearly as close
to affording a means Of determin.
ing the desires of the people as
would be the case if an elected
delegate were in the House to
make that his duty.
The delegate would have no
vote, but he would have the privi'
lege of taking the House floor
from time to time and making the
desires of the local people known,
as well as the privilege Of offer
ing amendments to legislation
pending in the House.

CONCESSIONS
SOUGHT BY
RANSPECK
Accumulation of Sick
Time to 40 Days
To Be Asked

Action on the Government EN-.
ploye leave bills, which is expected
to send them to conference be-
tween the House and Senate. will
be taken in the House today.
Representative Robert Ram
speck CD of Georgia, chairman
Of the House Civil Service Com
mittee, explained that there are
some minor points concerning the
Senate amendments which he
desires to clarity in conference,
even If it is not possible to gain
a concession from the Senate con-
ferees on several Of the major
points. He Is not at all satisfied
that the Senate cannot be per-
Suaded to yield on some Of these
latter issues, and will make every
effort in that direction.
FDIC Status in Doubt
One of the relatively minor
points which he desires to clear
up, he explained, is that under
the Senate language he is fearful
that the employees Of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation
would not be permitted to come
in under the benefits of the legis-
lation.
Mr.. Ramspeck pointed out thst
the Senate amendments provide
that the act shall apply only to
organizations wholly" owned and
controlled by the Federal Govern
ment. The FDIC, he explained,
is a Federal corporation, but
some banks have bought stock in
the organization, and he fears
that If the Senate language is
strictly adhered to the employees
Of this unit will be outlawed from
the acts benefits,
Curb on Leave Opposed
He added that he is especially
interested also in the Senate
amendment which would reduce
the accumulation of sick leave
allowed under the House bill from
120 to so days. He said:
''The Senate amendment, if
enacted, would penalize the
empIOye who doesn't use his
sick leave when it is available
and later is afflicted with .
serious illness which causes him
to be away from his work for
several months.
'T do not think this is the
proper way to grant this leave,
and / shall make an effort to
see if we can't obtain o cOnces-
sion from the Senate ON this
point.
"By giving the empIOye accu-
mulated sick leave up to only
so days, there is no incentive
for him to save his sick leave,
and it is probable that many
employees, under such conditions,
would take sick leave when it
was not absolutely necessary
just in order to be sure to use
it all up.
'T am convinced we would do
the Government as wen as the
emplOye q better service If we
permit the accumulation up to
12O days"
