Teddy " ROOseVelt's
Acts Hel ped at Yard

Old-timerS at the Washington
Navy Yard always had a soft spot
in their hearts for Teddy RooSe-
welt.
For, 1t was recalled today by
Thomas F. Dornin, Of los Seventh
st. s. E., former Navy Yard
worker who now is retired, it was
President Teddy Roosevelt who
gave the Navy Yard workers "a
break"
"T. r." he said, made himself
popular at the Yard first by grant
ing, without solicitation, an hour
off on Saturdays for Navy Yard
workers. Later he made this pop
ularity solid by granting, again
without solicitation, a half day
holiday on Saturdays for Navy
Yard workers. That was in the
days before Government en-
ployes generally enjoyed half holi-
day on Saturday.
Mr.. Dornin, now II, was unusu.
ally active in machinist union az
fairs both here and in Richmond,
Va, where he started learning his
trade in 1882.
Such was his interest In union
matters while he was in Richmond
that he was the first president Of
the Virginia Federation Of Labor
and presided over the organiza-
ton convention Of that federation
in 1895.
Coming to the Washington Navy
Yard in 1901, his recognition as q
great union worker was rapidly

INAUGURATION
'DUCATS' GONE

There will be a lot of disap-
pointed people in Washington
January 20.
A heavy increase in request for
tickets to the Inauguration cere-
monies in front of the Capitol have
led officials today to announce
that the stands will not be able to
hold any more people than they
did in 1882. The only difference
will be that members of the House
of Representatives will have seats
instead of standing room. This
however, will not provide any
more room for visitors who desire
to be within hearing distance when
President Roosevelt takes his oath
of office.
So far the only actual arrang.
mentS made have been the let
ting Of the contract of the stands.
The Congressional Committee in
charge of seating arrangements
and the reception Of dignitaries
will not meet until next month.
No new arrangements have
been made for policing the cere-
mony under direction of the SER
geant of arms of the Senate and
House, Chesley W. Jurney and
Kenneth Romney, but it is ex-
pected that the plans worked out
for last Inauguration will be re-
peated. Besides the Capitol police
the Plaza will be guarded by Sec
ret Service men, a special detach-
ment from the Metropolitan Po-
lice and corps of Marines.

It was largely through the ef-
forts of Miss Sophia HoeneS, Balti-
more, that the University of Mary

this vicinity. AS a freshman three

the first cheering squad at the
university, and after serving for
three terms is head of the team.

g D. f. BUDGET
S00NWILLG0
T0C0NGRESS

The Districts 1898 fiscal year
budget today was being whipped
into final shape for presentation
to Congress by the Bureau Of the
Budget.
With economy as the watch
word, the bureau devoted 16 days
to hearing recommendations from
the District Commissioners and
the municipal department heads.
Particular attention was paid to
estimates dealing with the school
system and the Health Depart
ment.
Estimates Pruned
Fears by the District officials of
encountering a demand for a flat
percentage reduction in the esti-
mates because Of the Presidents
move to balance the Federal
budget were removed as the hear
ings ended.
Facing the most serious finan-
cial problem in the Capitals his
tory. the Commissioners pruned
estimates Of department heads
totaling $59,e55, 1853 and sent two
budgets to the Budget Bureau this
year. One budget, allowing only
items for operating expenses,
totaled $42,944,948. The second
budget, detailing the operating ex.
penseS and only the most sorely
needed Of capital improvements,
totaled $48,091,475. The current
appropriation bill totaled $45,-
037,910.
Lump Sum Undecided
The District Commissioners and
the Budget Bureau alike were up
in the air" as to the Federal lump
sum contribution for the coming
budget. This knotty fiscal relation
problem this year will be settled
by the special committee appointed
by President Roosevelt to work out
a more equitable fiscal relationship
between the two governments.
The lump sum in the appropria-
ton bill is five million dollars.
The Budget Bureau must whip
the local bill into shape and send
1t to the Government Printing
Office before the Christmas holi-
days. It is expected that the spe-
cial fiscal committee will not sub
nit its report until later in the
month.
Until the committees report on
the lump sum is available, both the
Commissioners and the Budget
Bureau will use five million dollars,
the amount Of the present contrt-
button, as a calculating basis.

REA CUTS COST
OF RURAL
POWER
International News Service

One year old, the Rural Elec-
trification Administration today
has provided means for putting
electricity into 265 rural homes,
SO of them in one Iowa group.
But before the end Of the year,
at least 24,126 farm homes will
be supplied with electricity, car
ried over 6.405 miles of line, at a
cost of $7,145.412, the office Of
Morris, l.. Cooke, administrator,
maintains.
Contracts have been approved
for that amount of work in 19
States. Additional allotments have
been made for 6,045 miles of line,
at a cost of $4,612, 100. Contracts
are being received almost daily
now on the 40 projects involved
in these allotmentS, and are being
approved as soon as checked by
REA engineers and attorneys.
Cooke today said:
MANY Of these lines can be
built this year. How many miles
of line will be built, and how
many farms provided with
electric service, I would not
even venture to predict.
zone big utility company in
the East already has built
more miles of line this year, in
the first four and One-haR
months, than it did all last
year. They are beginning to
realize that rural electrifica-
tion is here, and are acting ac-
cOrdingly. They are beginning
to understand, too, that CO.
operatives are not antagoniStic,
but are supplementary to their
services, reaching fields they do

ON TAX
SPREADS IN
SENATE

A sharply divided Senate Fl
nance Committee, rebellious
against White House orders, met
today to decide whether to further
increase corporation taxes or to
approve the pending 642-million-
dollar tax bill.
President Roosevelt's plea for a
budgetbalancing bill apparently
was going unheeded even among
a majority of the Democratic mem
bers of the committee. This was
due to a general mistrust Of Trea-
sury estimates of revenue expected
from the proposed new rates and
by decided opposition to using the
tax bill as a regulatory measure
to force corporations into distr1but-
ing income in the form OF dlVl-
dends to stockholders.
The House adopted the prin-
ciple advocated by Mr.. Roosevelt
by writing into the bill a scale of
penalty taxes on undistributed
corporation earnings. The Senate
committee scrapped the entire
House program and adopted two
flat rates, one a tax Of 1S per
cent on corporation net earnings,
the other of z per cent on undis-
tributed earnings.
Presidential opposition to the
flat rates was based openly upon
the charge they would fail to raise
sufficient new revenue to balance
the Governments ordinary budget.
The President told Democratic
members of the committee that
while the bill raised only 642 mil
lion dollars he desired $40 million
dollars Of permanent new revenue
and SIT million dollars Of tempo
rary revenue, the latter collectible
over a period of three years.
