%3,20O,OOO TOTAL
SEEN FORD c. BILL
Revision by Senate Next
Week Due to Restore
Cuts of House.

The District appropriation bill prob
ably will carry a total Of about
s43,200,000 after it is revised by the
restoration of mcst Of the cuts the
House made in Budget Bureau figures
and retention of the several new con-
struction projects the House added TO
the budget recommendations, it was
learned today.
This could be done under the pro-
posal favored by Chairman Thomas of
the Senate subcommittee, to put the
Federal share of the bill, which the
House cut to S2,700,000, back to the
budget figure of s5,700,000.
The items the House added above
the budget were ST 100000 to begin a
rev Police Court Building, $353,000
for an extension to Eastern High
School and s250000 to begin replace
rert of Chain Bridge. At the same
time, however. the House pared down
maintenance funds for various depart
mentS, including health and welfare,
to the amount of s697,417, making a
net increase above the budget total of
Se08,000. In seeking to arrive at q
balanced budget on the present lump
sum- payment of IS, zoe. 900, the Senate
subcommittee will find it possible to
restore the budget cuts and keep the
House construction items, because the
Budget Bureau recommendations to
the House in January would not have
used up all of the Districts revenue.
The House bill. on the other hand. with
the cut in the Federal payment, would
have left the city facing a deficit.
The Senate subcommittee made plans
today for what probably will be the
final session at pm. Monday to hear
officials of the Budget Bureau. Sena-
tor Thomas wants to ascertain the
methods followed by the budget Office
in revising estimates of the Commis-
sionerS.
After the budget officials have tes-
titled, the only remaining question
will be for the subcommittee to act
on the request of Representative Bian-
ton of Texas, who took the lead in
reducing the Federal share of the bill
in the House, for hearing before the
Senate group.
After Blanton made the request
about 10 days ago, Senator Thomas in.
dicated he had no personal objection
However, Chairman Glass of the Ap.
preparations Committee opposed tha'
procedure, and Senator Thomas vii
ask the subcommittee to decide the
question.

BUDGET UNIT O. KS
JUVENILE COURT BILL
Immediate Enactment Urged as
Proposal Goes to Chair
man Norton.

Approval of the proposed new Juve-
nile Court bill for the District was
given yesterday by the Budget Bureau,
and the measure was forwarded to
Chairman Norton of the House District
Committee with a recommendation
that it be enacted at once.
The bill, which would replace the
present Criminal Court for juvenile
delinquents into a quasi-legal social
agency, is based on a model law now
in force in number of States.
Forty-nine amendments, most of
them of minor, nature, were approved
by the District Commissioners. They
had been recommended by former
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Pretty
man. The principal changes limit
the judges authority in taking a
child away from parents; authorizes
public jury trials and public records,
and separates the offices of chief in
vestigator and judge.

PROBE
REPORT MONDAY
Special Committee Due to
Propose Emergency"
Changes in Code.

Members of the special committee
set up by the District Commissioners
to study the elevator regulations will
report back Monday to Capt. Hoel S.
Bishop, jr., on any emergency"
changes that need to be made in ad-
vance of general revision Of the code.
The committee, created as result
of the recent death Of Harvey Crowell.
13, killed by an elevator in an apart
ment house at 761l Georgia avenue,
began it's preliminary study Of the
rules yesterday, but made no effort
whatever to determine responsibility
for the Crowell boy.
Won't Continue Inquest.
Capt. Bishop made it clear that the
committee will not take up where
the coroner's inquest" left of in the
investigation. AS a matter of fact,
the committee was not charged by the
Commissioners to undertake that
phase of the situation.
Bishops instructions to his asso-
ciates conceded with the attitude of
Col. Dan Sultan, Engineer Commis-
sioner. that the immediate problem
is to prevent this kind Of thing from
happening again"
John A. Dickinson of the National
Bureau of Standards is the only ele-
vator expert on the committee. He
has been instrumental in drafting a
model elevator code for the bureau,
and it is expected the new revised
District code will embody the chief
points of the model.
No "Semi-automatic Lift"
Capt. Bishop said the existing rules
and regulations are based on that same
model. The principal difficulty, how
ever, lies in the description of the
fatal lift as a "semi-automatic" ele-
vator, whereas no authorization for
such an elevator is included in the
code. Dickinson has insisted that nc
such thing exists; that all elevators
are either automatic or they are not
automatic.
Mondays meeting will be to con-
slider temporary changes that need tc
be made at once. Later the whole
revision will be undertaken.

said, signed affdavits concerning the
occurrence and protested to the
Northeastern Regional Ofiice and to
Washington.
Regional officials were said to have
asked Madison about the matter. It
was said he admitted telling the story
in jest and suggested himself that
it might be better for him to resign.
Ofhcials said the entire matter was
handled in Rhode Island and that
no action was taken by the WASH
ington headquarters. although a copy
of the complaint, signed by guests at

MUSICIANS HEADS
IN SESSION TODAY.
Symphony Directors Meet
Next Week-0rcheStra
Fate in Balance.

With the future Of the National
Symphony Orchestra dependent on
agreement, officials of the Musicians
Union and directors of the Orchestra
Association today were planning sep
arate meetings to consider their re-
spective positions.
The Board of Directors of the union
will meet in executive session this
afternoon. The matters to be dis
cussed have not been revealed. The
president, A. C. Hayden, however, has
stated the union cannot reconsider its
announced stand in opposition to the
orchestra's Board of Directors, since
the latter group has made demands
which the union could meet only by
disregarding the terms of its charter
from the American Federation of
Musicians.
Board Meets Next Week.
Following a conference with repre-
sentatives of the orchestra, Walter B.
Howe, secretary of the Orchestra ASso-
citation, announced a meeting OF his
Board of Directors will be held early
next week, Howe has been notified
the orchestra members will remain
loyal to the union and will continue
to stand firm in their opposition to
recent action by the board, which the
men claim violates the union contract.
Essential issues in the controversy
are the ousting from the union of
George Gaul. personnel manager of
the orchestra, and the question of
importation of musicians to fill posts
which the association considers can
not be adequately filled from local
ranks.
In statement issued last night.
C. C. Cappel, manager of the Or
chestra Association, reported IA men
were brought from other cities to
play in the symphony during the sea-
son just ended and that every one
of the importations had been agreed
on by the local union officials.
Want IA Full Members.
Cappel added that the association
desires to have these. IA men become
full members of the local union, but
union officials have protested and
thereby are forcing the orchestra di-
rectors to import players each sea-
son. The IA men imported this year
must leave Washington, now that the
season is over. he said, and when the
orchestra is reassembled the associa-
ton must go to the difficulty and ex-
pense of finding other musicians who
are willing to come to the Capital for
one season.
Not only is this procedure expen-
sive," Cappel declared, "but if the
orchestra is to progress artistically, it
cannot be changing its personnel each
season, especially since these import
ed players are for some of the most
important positions in the orchestra. u
In discussing the problem further,
Howe supported Cappel's statement
and asserted that the Orchestra Asso-
citation is absolutely unwilling to
solicit funds from the public to carry
on the activities of the National
Symphony Orchestra unless its artistic
growth can be assured"
Howe further pointed out that the
| rule of the A. F.. M. referred to by
the musicians in explaining their op-
position Is one which can be waived
by the local union officials.

$685. SUPPLEMENT
;s SOUGHT IN MEASURE
100000 Contribution to Jobless
Compensation Fund One Of
Chief Items.
The House Subcommittee on Ap-

The House Subcommittee on Ap-
propriations will complete hearings
Monday on the Districts supplement
tai and deficiency estimates totallng
1896, ,528.77.
Mai. Daniel J. Donovan, auditor
and budget officer, has been called as
the principal witness. Heads OF sew
eral other District departments also
are expected to testify.
The deficiency and supplemental
estimates cover a large number OF
District departments. One OF the
chief items, amounting to 100000,
is for the Districts contribution to
the unemployment compensation
fund.
$4,000 for Underpass.
Another large item, totaling $4,000,
chargeable to the gasoline tax fund,
represents the Districts share OF the
cost of construction of an underpass
beneath the railroad tracks in the
vicinity of New York and West V1r-
einia avenues northeast. The Dis
trict will pay only the cost of the
approaches.
Other major items include S55,Oo0
for collection and disposal OF refuse;
s41,751.l1 for the public schools;
100000 for the District Workhouse
and Reformatory; S93,03744 for the
National Training School for Boys;
SOL 500 for medical charities; $4,000
for the tuberculosis Hospital; s9,399
for the Home for the Aged and In
firm; 100000 for the Water Depart
ment, and $4,000 for refund of paw
Ing assessments.
The $4,000 appropriation for con-
struction of the underpaSS was rec
commended by the Budget Bureau be-
cause the Baltimore g. Ohio and
PENNSYLVANIA Railroads are ready to
start work Immediately. The work
will require six or seven months to
complete.
Grading Cost Extra.
"It is, therefore, necessary" said
the Budget Bureau, 'for the District
to be in a position to proceed with
the improvement of the approaches
outside of the railroad right-of-way
at a date sufficiently in advance Of
completion of the structure to insure
the use and drainage of the same
when completed. The estimate Of
$4,000 does not include any grading
or paving within the railroad right-of-
way. as it is an obligation of the rail-
road to perform this work"
The 100000 for the Water Depart
ment will merely make an appropri-
alton for that amount available in
the 1887 fiscal year for replacement
of pumping equipment at the Nc
MILAN pumping station.

intendent of schools; Miss Sibyl
