to have Q good time and spend something like $i0,000,000 the race flarrows down to six horses. They are Brevity, Bold Venture, Grand Slam, The Fighter. Granville and Col. D. R. Bradley's entry ot Bien joli and BaniSter-nobody can split them, not even Col. E. R. Bradley himself who's won four derbieS. Brevlty Loses Support
 Brevity, Joseph '. Widener's pie ture horse who was ruled firm favorite in the winter books and in the early betting here, has lost sup- port in the last 24 hours. He no longer is the horse that can't be beat, but the horse which may be beaten-not by one, but by several. His last workout was the worst Q derby favorite has ever had on the eve of the race. He sulked Q half mile in 64 seconds-the clockerS and the Wldener stable are still argu- ing about the exact time-and his handlers pulled him off the track.
 He's still the favorite and will carry most of the money, probably going to the post at anywhere from even money to 9.6 according to tho track conditions, but the smart horsemen aren't near as solid for him as they were 48 hours ago.
 DlsquIetlng Angle
 Another disquieting angle In con. nection with Brevity, Is the matter of blinkers. His stable wants them put on the post. The rules say they should be put on in the paddock. When Brevity feels blinkerS on his head, he thinks the race is ready to start. If he has to 90 to the post with blinkers on, he'll be Q nervous wreck and will leave his race in the parade to the post.
 The question mark about Brevity Is nothing compared to the doubt about the track conditions and weather. Showers are predicted for early morning. They were forecast the other day, and 1t rained ell day. The track needs almost several hours sun to dry 1t out after the mid-week rains.
 Muddy Track COmplicates
 If the sun doesn't shine, the race will be further complicated. On Q muddy track, almost anything, even Silas, might win, but the heavy bettors are going for Grand Slam if it's Q muddy track.
 The celebrities are falling all over each other. Babe Ruth, baseball No 1 free agent, is sorry he came here. Never in nearly two decades of headline fame has he been so neglected. Jack Dempsey can move around, if he can fight his way through the crowds in the bars hotel Hobbies and narrow streets and he seems to be able to still do that at 40-without being swamped by autograph seekers. Almost every- one-except that who found mint iulepg and Scotch and soda too enc ticing-wants the derby winner. 19 Horses Arc Ready Nineteen horses-lT colts and two lfllies-were named to start over- night. Only l4 or IS will go to the post about 4:40 CST time for the mile and Q quarter @4O,OOO added event which will hold almost ell of the United States under it's spell for the duration of the race.
 Some of the horses entered are in to get their owners names in print, other in to shoot at e40.OO0 with a pop-gun. and the rest--about 6 or 8, no more-really in to run c race.
 The jockey angle takes the time of many players. A quick sizeup oS them follows:

 While Hoover said Karpis had not been his departments public enemy No. 1," he had, nevertheless, been sought with every energy tn de. partmenk could bring to bear for two years. The department had offered e6,0O0 reward for information lead- ing to his capture, teh highest of its two outstanding reward offers. The postoRice department had offered S2,00O.
 Career of Karpls
 Karpis began his career as c petty thief, and was initiated into the big time criminal world in 103I, after his escape from the Kansas State penitentiary ct Lansing, by the Bar. kerS, Arthur and Fred.

 Fred Barker and his mother, Kate, were filled by Q-men in Florida in January, 1e36. Karpis had been in their hide-out Q few hours before the raid, and fled northward with Campbell to Atlantic City, where the unsuccessful trap was set for them several weeks later.
 Arthur Doc" Barker was captur- cd meanwhile, was convicted with Q number of associated of the Brem- CT Kidnapping, and Is now serving Q life term.
 Karpis' whereabouts was unknown thereafter, though agents picked up his trail in many parts of the cou1- try. He was identified in Q number of crimes, particularly the @46,000 Qarrettsville, O., mail train robbery last November. His trail grew hot ter. Yesterday afternoon 1t ended in the New Orleans apartment house.
 Kansas City, Mo-, May 2.-(UP).- The Douglas transport bearing Al- win Karpis and his Q-Ynen captors took of here at 6:30 Q. Tl1., for St. Paul after 0 three-hour stop at Kansas City airport.
 The plane was forced down here by fog after 1t left St. Louis.
 A IVA dispatcher said J. Edgar Hoover and the planes pilot said they expected they would have to ''sit down" again before reaching St.. Paul because of weather conditions. Tn that event, the dispatcher esti- mated, the plane would not reach there much before noon.

increase the tax burden of District
taxpayers.
Maverick Recalls Law.
In the midst Of his discussion
Representative Maverick. Democrat,
of Texas, asked whether there is
still on the statute books law which
requires the Federal Government to
bear 40 per cent of the Districts
expenses. Otter. however. skipped
the question and passed 1t on to
Blanton, who failed to answer it
directly. but insisted Congress has
the right to appropriate any amount
1t so desires for the District every
year.
Otter also criticized the tax rate
in the District, the 2-cent gasoline
tax and the 81 license fees for auto
mobile tags, and intimated that the
tax assessor had not obeyed the law
in making assessments on full valu-
alton of real estate. And when asked
why he had voted for a $4,000
reduction in the Federal payment
toward District expenses, he said:
The Lord helps those who help
themselves. The dilatory attitude and
unconcern showed by District officials
at our hearings convinced me they
have no real regard for the need of
the District. The time has come when
the Federal Government, instead of
assuming a paternalistic attitude to-
ward the District, should put the
city on its own"
Otter likewise said the subcommit-
tee was justified in recommending
cuts in the salaries of public assis-
tance executives, and added:
Il will go to the public schools.
Now I'm going into a hornets nest.
We have heard q lot about the
heinous crime we committed last year
when We asked the teachers to re-
frain from matchmaking children
with communism.
III only communism were presented
factually. question whether would
oppose that. but it is my contention
as result OF the disclosures at the
hearings, that the method pursued
here has not been for the purpose
Of presenting the facts of communism.
1t was the method Of those who were
trying to advance the cause of COM
munism and of those who are trying
to place communism In the most
favorable light to the high school
children Of the District"
/ A few minutes afterward, Otter
said information had come to, him
that there are teachers in the schools
who would be glad to have the bars
let down" so they would not be re-
stricted to presenting the facts of
communism, but would be free to
indoctrinate communism.
The red rider he declared, "was
the only way In which the bars could
be put up"

j. S. CUT
SIZE OF NAVY GUNS
Would Reduce Maximum to
"a Inches if London
Conferees Agree.
By the Associated Press


LONDON, March 6.-An authorita.
tive source stated today that the
United States delegates to the Naval
Conference had offered to cut the
maximum size of battIeship guns from
16 to IA inches If Great Britain, Japan,
France and Italy would do the same
before the end of 1886.
II such immediate response Is not
given to the offer, they asserted. the
United States delegates to the Naval
maximum Of 16 inches.
The delegates Of France were un-
derstood to have accepted the offer in
principle, and the British were ex-
pected to follow this lead.
The offer was an alteration in the
position of the Americans, who pre-
viously had agreed without reservation
to 14-inch maximum.
The move puts the size of guns up
to Japan and Italy, for 1t requires
those nations signatures to a special
agreement before the Washington and
London naval treaties expire in De-
cember
The Americans contended that
straight reduction in caliber, as pro-
posed, would put the United States at
a disadvantage, because it would not
know what Japan was going to do.
The recent agreement retaining the,
spresent 35,000-ton ma ximum for bat,
tleships stands unchanged.

and their constituents.
The House subcommittee handling
the District appropriation bill rec
commended an appropriation of $484,-
ITO as cor trasted to the budget rec
ommendation of $507,970.
Lower Than Average.
3 Meanwhile 1t was disclosed by the
Census Bureau that Washington's per
capita expenditure was only $1.10 In
1884, as compared with the average
OF $1.30 for the group of cities be-
tween 100000 and 1000 population.
The only cities in this so-called
group No. 2, including Washington,
with lower per capita expenditure
for health we're New Orleans. La, 81
cents; Kansas City, Mo-. 50 cents:
Indianapolis, Ind, 81 cents: Houston,
Tex. 40 cents, and Portland, Greg, so
cents. Newark: N. j., topped the
group with $3.50.
Washington was next to the bottom
of the list as regards the percentage
of health service expenditures Of all
general departments of the municipal
government. Washington's percentage
figure was 1.6 in 1884, while the only
city in group No. 2 with lower figure
was Portland. Greg. with IA per cent.
In 1888 the District Of Columbia
per capita expenditures we're $l06,
but In 1925 they were only II cents
per capita for health, the survey
showed.
At Bottom in 1926.
In 1925 this city had the dubious
distinction of occupying the very bot
tom of the list with regard to per
cent Of all general department ex-
penditures. Only Ia per cent Of
the District of Columbia revenue went
to health service In 1926 with Port
land, Greg, also sitting on the bot
tom with the same figure.
The total expenditure for Washing
ton in 1884 under this category was
listed at $545,173.
The $1.1o per capita for the year
1894 was lower than the average for
cities in group No. 2 of Washington S

for the larger cities in group No. 3,

FARM POWER BILL
IS SENT TO HOUSE.
Kings Fight Fails to Halt
$42O, 600, 900 Rural
Light Program.
BY the Associated Press.

The $420, 100000 Norris rural elec-
trification bill was passed by the SEN
ate and sent to the House yesterday
despite warnings by. Senator King,
Democrat. Of Utah, that the Nation
Is rushing madly into consolidation
Of all power In the Federal Govern
ment."
King yainly presented a substitute
to trim the expenditures to $40 O.000, 900
q year for 10 years, but said even as he
argued that his case was futile"
At White House conference earlier
in the week, Senator Norris, Repub-
lican, Of Nebraska, author of the bill,
agreed to scale the 10-year program
from $l00. 900 900 a year for 10 years
to $50 1000. 600 a year for the first two
years and $4,000 900 for the remain
ing eight years.
May Lend to States.
Norris agreed to one of Kings de-
mands by reducing from 40 to IS
years the maximum life of loans for
rural power projects.
The bill would establish a new Rural
Electrification Administration and EN-
power it to lend to States, rural mu-
inequalities, utility districts, farm CO.
operatives or limited dividend cor
porations to install and operate gen.
Grating and distributing systems where
none now exist.
In order to provide a market for
the power, farmers would be financed
in purchasing and installing household
and farm electrical equipment. Their
loans would be repayable over a five
year period, or a period equal to two
thirds the life of the equipment bought
Walsh Amendment Accepted.
While the original bill directed that
10 per cent OF the annual appropria-
tion be distributed to borrowers among
the States In proportion to the number
OF farms without electricity, the bill
revised at the White House confer
ence trimmed this to SO per cent and
gave the administrator authority to
apportion the balance at his discretion.
He was subject to limitation, how
ever, that mot more than 10 per cent
Of said unallotted annual sums may be
employed in any one State, or in all
Of the territories"

M members OF Congress and all
IV employees of the Capitol and
L congressional office buildings
cost about $3.50 per capita per year,
the money appropriated by Congress
from public funds. In contrast, Rep
resentative Blanton describes as gen.
erous the 80 cents per capita allotted
by Congress to the District Public
Health Department. ,--
In contrast also Is the finding Of

Medical facilities in the legislative

rank of captain in the Medical Corps
Of the Navy, who supervises q staff
of three medical assistants at the

DR.. Calver, as a captain In the navy,
draws salary and allowance of ap-
proximately $1,000 from the Navy De-

$6, 500 year. The three assistants,
enlisted men in, the Medical Corps,
who have been detailed to service at
the Capitol, draw Navy salaries and
allowances approximating a $5,400
total.
Each year the legislative appro-
priation bill carries a provision for
contingent expenses of Office of at
tendant physician amounting to
$4,000. Medical supplies, equipment
and monthly allowance not to ex-
ceed $50 each to the three enlisted

tered through the appropriations for
