EMERGENCY FUND
SLATED FOR QUICK
ACTION TOMORROW
Amount Recommended for
Passage Not Yet
Revealed.
S6O8,OOO DECLARED
NEEDED UP TO JULY !
Welfare Leaders Seek $3.000,000
to Garry Burden for 1887
Fiscal Year.

Plans were made at the Capitol to-
day to rush through the House tomor-
row a special deficiency appropriation
for emergency relief in the District.
A bill authorizing the emergency
item already has been approved by
the Deficiency Subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee. The
amount recommended, however, has
not been revealed.
The full Appropriations Committee
will meet tomorrow at 10 am. to pass
on the subcommittee recommended
ton and indications are the deficiency
bill will be reported to the House
without further delay.
s6O8,0O0 Is Estimated Need.
The Commissioners figured that
S6O8 900 is needed to meet the relief
budget for the remainder Of the cur
rent fiscal year, ending June 80. The
Budget Bureau reduced the figure TO
$3.50 900, but the Commissioners and
welfare officials told the Deficiency
Subcommittee at hearing last week
that this amount would only care for
l000O unemployables until July l, and
that aid for the 10000 employables
would have to be cut of entirely after
April /.
Representative Bacon. Republican,
of New York, a member Of the De-
ficiency Subcommittee, is known to
have urged an increase above S250000.
PInhonon nf tho AOrrN-
priations Committee. however, has op-
posed a larger amount.
While concerned over the need Of
larger appropriation Of District
funds for relief in the next fiscal year.
welfare officials emphasized again to-
day they will be forced to drop ap-
proximately 10000 persons from the
rolls April if only S250,000 is ap-
proved for use to July !.
s3,0Oo,OOO Sought for 1887.
When given an opportunity before
the District subcommittee of the Sem
ate Appropriations Committee, Dis
trict officials are expected to urge
that the relief appropriation for the
fiscal year beginning July be raised
from sl.5o0,O00 to 100000 or more.
OF more immediate concern, how
ever. is the drastic action that will
have to be taken by next Tuesday if
the requested deficiency item is not
approved. or at least unless there is
assurance it will be passed promptly.
If only s250,000 is granted for
use between now and July l the
District will be able to care for only
the "unemployables" on the relief
rolls. All told there are 9,l0o cases.
OF these, 4.l68 are claSsed as 'un-
employables." They represent 1858
individuals.
10000 Are "EmployabIes.'
There are 4,SOO cases clasSed as
"employables." representing 10000
persons.
Officials have said that with only
$3.50, 900 additional they will be able
to meet the needs of only 9.958 un-
employebles and will be forced to stop
payments forthwith to the 20.300
other individuals.
On April 1 District Iofhcials say
they will have left for USE only some
$l25 900, or no more than necessary
to meet needs of the unemployable
cases for no more than a month. II
no additional funds are appropriated.
therefore. it is said, all relief opera
tions would collapse before funds for
the 1887 fiscal year become available.

7 SHOPPE MURDER
CONFESS|ONSARE
READ TO JURORS
Police officers Testify Jor-
dan Made Them in Pres
ence of Witnesses.
HAUNTED BY VICTIMS
FACE, DETECTIVES SAY
Defendant, on Stand, Makes De-
NAL, Terming Confessions
Bunch of Lies
RY w. II. SHIPPEN, JR.


Two confessions signed by Thomas
Jordan were read to a jury in DIS
trict Supreme Court today, as the
prosecution prepared to close its case
against the 29-year-old former bus
boy, who is on trial for the hold-up
murder of a Garden T Shoppe cashier.
Police officers testified that Jordan
voluntarily made the confessions in
the presence of witnesses. The Gov
ernment is seeking the death penalty
for Jordan in the Staying of Mrs.
Lizzie S. Jaynes, ST.
Witnesses told the jury Jordan de-
scribed himself as tormented by his
own conscience and haunted at night
by the ghostly face of his victim.
This testimony was given by Lieut..
Herman MATHS of the Mount Vernon,
N. Y. detective force and Sergt. Aub-
rev M. Tolson of the Washington
homicide squad.
The shooting occurred on the night
Of Good Friday. April 3, 1881, after
two bandits with hoods pulled over
their faces had seized sl0l from the
restaurant CaSn register.
Admitted Shooting.
In a statement signed here after
his return from Mount Vernon last
Spring, Jordan declared he fired the
fatal shot. Il was backing from the
door" the statement said, with my
gun trained on the woman at the cash
register.
Either some one opened the door
behind me suddenly or I got the jim
Jams. l fired one shot before We
ran"
Jordan. in his confessions. said he
was accompanied by an unidentified
man and Miss Edith Dodsworth, for
mer waitress at the restaurant, To-
Gated on Columbia road near Eight
eenth street. Jordan said the waitress
had been discharged from the res
taurant and plotted the robbery. He
said the woman waited outside in a
car while he and the stranger stuck
up the joint"
Jordan signed one of the statements
when he was arrested in Mount Ver-
non.
Most of the Governments case
against Jordan had been concluded
today.
Confession Is Denied.
The prosecutions evidence was in
troduced to show that Jordan, for
mer bus boy, confessed.
This confession, it was alleged, was
made after Jordan fell in love and
wrote to United States Attorney Les
lie c. Garnett to learn if he had been
cleared of suspicion.
The defense put Jordan on the stand
after Assistant United States Attorney
Roger Robb asked permission to read
the alleged confession to the jury.
Jordan declared the confessions a
bunch of lies"
Mrs. Jaynes was shot through the
abdomen with a small-caliber auto
matte. She did not realize she had
been wounded and worked for sew
eral hours before going to her home.
Mrs. Jaynes died in the hospital less
than week after the shooting.

APPEAL DISMISSAL
Government Brief Presents
Picture of Alleged
Gaming Office.

The Government asked the Supreme
Court today TO dismiss without hearing
the appeal by Sam r. Beard and about
dozen associates protesting conviction
and sentence for conspiracy to violate
the Districts gambling laws.
A detailed picture of the alleged
gambling headquarters here was pre-
sented to the highest court in the
Government brief. 1t claimed DO
central office telephones and numerous
private lines were found in G street
office building by police and Federal
officers when they raided the head
quarters.
The Government said this spot had
been occupied for number of years
by an organization purporting to be
engaged in disseminating racing in
formation"
Before the raid, the Government
said. officers had heard voices broad
casting horse race news and taking
horse race bets"
rs Loaded Dice Found.
In addition to other betting para
phernalia" the Government said 25
loaded dice were found during the
raid"
The Supreme Court was told that
none of the men who have appealed
, their sentences testified at the trial.
Answering an argument that the
search had been unlawful" the Gov
eminent said Beard and his associates
ARE not in a position to object be-
cause they did not prove the premises
belonged to them and, therefore, there
had been no invasion of their consti-
tutional rights"
The Government said the search was
legal because at the time of the raid
many of the private telephones we're
ringing-after officers broke down the
/ door and bets were coming in. The
Government said Beard. at this mo-
ment. instructed the others to tell the
police nothing"
Evidence obtained by tapping tele-
phones also was defended by the Gov
ernment. It said this had been offered
at the trial not ''for the truth Of the
statements overheard; but for the fact
that the conversation took place"
Affidavits Are Fought.
Afidavits obtained from three Of the
| jurors after the trial should not be con-
sidered, the Government said, because
"the jury was told and each afiant
stated individually that he or she
found the petitioners guilty on each
count"
Alleged statements by the jury fore
man that Sam Beard was the big
shot among the gamblers and that
Beard had served a sentence for in
come tax violation" we're said by the
Government not to be basis for i'm
peaching the verdict of a jury.
THE case was fairly tried" the
Government said and lower Federal
courts of the District gave careful
consideration to the contentious urged
by the petitioner and found them
without merit"
