FLEMING ASKS
BANKERS TO
AIM HIGH

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j.. June
23.-Speaking before 400 banking
officials here at the Graduate
School Of Banking, Robert v.
Fleming, president Of both the
Riggs National Bank of Washing.
ton, D. c., and the American
Bankers Association, expressed
confidence in the future Of Amer
ican banking.
He said he based this faith on
the prevailing spirit found among
bankers throughout the country.
He added:
1--WE can put banking on a
plane as high as any other pro-
feSSiOn if the American Bankers
Association and State banking
associations can make banking
clear and understandable to the
people, take fair and temper
ate attitude and be conStruc-
tive in approaching economic
and legislative problems"
Tonight'S session marked the
opening of the second term of the
Banking Graduate School, which
is conducted jointly by the Amer
lean Bankers Association and
Rutgers University.
Declaring that in the present
campaign year candidates are
much more important than plat
forms, w. M. Kiplinger, Washing
ton business writer, talked in
formally on whats Ahead in
Washington"
Addressing the students as citi-
Zens, rather than as bankers, Kip
linger urged them not to let par
tisan feelings bias their political
judgments.
Outlining for the students the
steps and working procedure Of
both Houses of the Congress,
Fleming said:
"The task of legisIating for
126,O0O,OOO people is tremend-
Gus one and is evidenced by the
fact that in recent years ap-
proximately 10000 bills have
been introduced annually in the
two Houses

APEX BUILDING TEST
BEGUN BY WORKERS
Foundation Conditions Will Be
Revealed for Proposed Tri-
angle Structure

Operations began today to test
foundation possibilities for the pro-
posed Apex Building, which would be
erected at Seventh street and Consti-
tuition and Pennsylvania avenues,
completing the Federal Triangle.
A power shovel. a steam hoist ard
a gang of men started work on test
pits and piles to discover what sort
of subterranean conditions Govern
ment building experts must reckon
with in designing the proposed founda-
tion. It was recalled that underground
water from the old Tiber Greek ham,
pered construction of other buildings
in the Triangle.
Plans for the Apex Building have
been under way for years and now are
said to be nearing completion. The
design for the structure has been
changed from the original to point"
the Triangle toward Capitol Hill and
to eliminate certain features thought
to be too ornate.
Funds for construction are available
and bids may b advertised this year.

Hail Project as Desirable
and Necessary.

Bids for the construction Of paved
runways, taxi strips and aprons at
Washington Airport, involving the lay
ing of approximately 100000 square
yards of macadam, grading and drain
age, are. being opened today by Samuel
j. Solomon, airport manager.

throughout the day, Solomon said.
The contract will be awarded as soon
as the bids can be examined and
the responsibility of the low bidder
or bidders ascertained. The contrac-
tor will be allowed so working days in
which to complete the project, the
largest single improvement program
in the history of local air transport
operations, involving around 100000.
No Complaint Made.
Although the main runway is to be
constructed across Military road al
most at right angles. involving a fill
nearly two feet across the present
highway, Solomon said he has not re-
ceived any complaint against the
proposed construction.
He said that he has asked the De-
partment of Commerce for an opinion
on the construction project. Under
law enacted by Congress last Spring,
jurisdiction over the policing of the
section of Military road across the
airport was transferred from the War
Department to the Commerce Depart
ment, although physical jurisdiction
over the right of way remains with
the War Department.
Col. John M. johnson, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce, said today
that the proposed airport construction
project had been referred to his Office
and that, from the standpoint of the
Commerce Department, the proposed
construction seems regular and GER
tainly a desirable and necessary prof.

The contract will call for the con-
struction of the runways on founda-
tion Of crushed rock, with two top
courses of crushed stone, emulsified
asphalt and sand and final sealing
coat of asphalt, making what is ex-
pected to be a solid, durable all

between 10 and II am. In his own
apartment on the fourth floor. Mrs.
P. d. Miller, on the same floor, called
police.
Chased Dog Into Hallway.
Meanwhile, Wiley chased the dog
into the hallway and down the stairs
until he reached landing between
the first and second floors. There he
sighted two women in the lobby.
Dailey's wife, and Miss Helen Kreti-
son, 5029 Illinois avenue, a friend of
Mrs. Daley.
Sensing the danger, Mrs. DALEY
pushed Miss Kretison out of the door
and followed quickly just as Wiley
fired three shots through the lobby.
Daley emerged from his f1rst-floor
apartment, saw Wiley on the landing
and got behind him by climbing a
fire escape to the second floor. From
there, he jumped on Wiley and to-
gether they rolled down the stairs
to the lobby. Wiley lost consciousness
just as two policemen entered to take
him into custody.
Treated for Wound.
After treatment at Emergency Hos
pital for cut. on his head, he was
taken to the second precinct police
station and from there to Gallinger.

are permitted and the walk lights
flash on with the green lights for
automobiles. At Twelfth street, where
right turns are permitted the walk
light flashes on several seconds after
the green.
Many of the pedestrians, 1t was OBJ
served, violated the regulations only
after a struggle with their conscience.
There was the women with the green
hat and fur collar, for example, who
did not rush across the street as soon
as the green light flashed on. She
stood poised patiently on the curb
while others brushed by and hurried
across. Finally, however. she could
stand it no longer and with a quick
glance around she, too, stepped out
into the stream of pedestrians. aiding
them in holding up a line of cars
trying to break through and make q
right turn.
Van Duzer Has Faith.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer believes the walk lights could
be of real service if pedestrians would
only use them properly. They would
make street crossing safer and speed
up motor traffic as we'll. But he
admits there isn't much use in putting
up any more unless they are obeyed,
and there seems to be little prospect
of that without putting policeman
on the corner to see that they are.
When they were installed about three
months ago, and a policeman was
stationed on each corner, people
obeyed them. About a week later,
however, the policemen were assigned
to other tasks. For a while pedestrians
obeyed them from force of habit, or
perhaps because they thought the
policemen were still on duty. Grad
ually the observance declined until it
has reached close to zero.
Walk lights?" said one man, stand
ing in the shadow of one. Yes, I heard
they were around here somewhere"

DISTRICT BUDGET
HEARINGS TO OPEN
ON SEPTEMBER 10
Commissioners Invite Civic
and Business Groups to
Present Views.
$58,027,433 is ASKED
BY Department HEADS
Estimates Would Amount to
$l4,413,523 More Than
Appropriated This Year.

Public hearings on the 1888 budget
estimates submitted by District de-
partment heads, who are seeking a
record-breaking net appropriation of
$58,027,433, will be opened by the
Commissioners at 10 am. Septem-
Der 10.
Organized civic and business groups
today received invitations from the
Commissioners to present their views
on any item. They we're asked to Sc
! lect a spokesman, to put their views
into writing, if possible, and to be
brief.
The groups were urged to notify
Godfrey M. Thornett, acting secre~
tary of the Board of Commissioners,
how much time each would want. A
list then will be prepared scheduling
the appearance of the spokesmen for
each.
Have Asked for Time.
The Washington Taxpayers Asso-
citation already has asked for time and
announced it would demand deep
slashes in the requests of the depart
ment heads. A SO per cent boost in
taxes on real and personal property,
including automobiles, would be neces-
sary to cover the estimates submitted
by but seven of the departments, the
association declared. These are the
schools, welfare, fire, police, health
and traffic departments and the Free
Public Library.
The $58,027, ,433 budget proposed by
the department heads would amount
to $14.413,523 more than was aRpro-
priated for this fiscal year. The Com
missionerS have indicated the original
estimates will be cut heavily. primari-
ly because the District faces a deficit
at the end of this fiscal year of more
than 100000.
Donovan Makes Estimate.
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor, estimates the District this
year will spend nearly $4,000, 900 more
than the revenues it will collect. The
larger deficit will be avoided because
Of a surplus carried from the past
fiscal year.
A major item in consideration is
the uncertainty of what will be the
Federal payment. A commission re-
Gently named by President Roosevelt
now is studying this problem, but its
recommendations are not expected to
be placed before the President before
January.

them started to cross the street willy
nilly, but was halted by her COM
panion, who put restraining hand
on her arm, and said:
Wait, Eileen, you're not supposed
to cross until the walk light flashes
on" With an amused smile at the
crowds milling past them in their
eagerness to get across the street, walk
light or no, Eileen and the other two
waited.
Men simply could not be bothered
with waiting for anything. except an
approaching car, and sometimes not
then if the car appeared to be going
slowly enough to stop if they dashed
across its path.
Many persons, men and women
crossed while the walk lights were on,
but that was by coincidence, not de-
sign. For a moment it appeared that
the walk lights were being observed
better at Thirteenth street than at
Twelfth street. but analysis proved
the theory wrong. At Thirteenth
street no turns, either right or left.
