Limited Press Staff Correspondent )
 New York, June 16.-UP)- Climaxing a climb that started in the cellar, the Chicago Cubs held the undisputed leadership of the National league today.
 The Cubs got off to a bad start. On May 27 the Cubs had won 16 and lost 16 for a 800 average. Of their last IS games, they've won 15, the fastest pace any major league club has set.
 The Cubs are the third team to lead the National leagu ethis sea- son. Pittsburgh got off flying and held the lead until the Giants dis lodged them June 6. The Giants held sway until yesterday.
 The Cubs bounded into the lead by defeating the Boston Bees, 5-4. The Bees knocked their old jinx, Tex Carleton, out of the box in the fourth inning and wiped out a go deficit with four-run rally, but Clay Bryant came to the rescue and baffled the Bostonians. He al- lowed only one hit in five innings, scoring his fifth straight victory. He has pitched 19 consecutive innings, and has retired 57 out of the last 62 batters who faced him. Galan's double and singles by Collins, Demaree and Hack brought the Cubs from behind to victory.
 Carl Hubbell failed to finish his fifth consecutive game as Pitts burgh triumphed over New York, 7-5, knocking the Giants out of first place. Gus Suhr hit homer with two on in the first, and then three singles in a row after two were out in the second inning drove Hubpell to cover. Red Lucas went the route, giving up 10 hits, and pitch ing the Pirates to their second vic- tory over the Giants in eight games.
 The Cardinals scored their sev- enth straight victory over the Phil- lies 13-4, when Mike Ryba, handy man, won his first start. Cincin- nati stayed off ninth inning rally by Brooklyn to beat the Dodgers, 4-3.
 Red Ruffing won his sixth victory and pitched his second straight shutout as the New York Yankees won from Cleveland, 80. He held the Indians to four hits. Mel Hard- CT blanked the Tanks until the 9th when doubles by Dickey and Sel kirk broke the tie.
 After blowing an 8-l lead in the ninth, Detroit went Is innings be- fore beating Washington, 918. Tho victory enabled the Tigers to move into second place, one game behind the Yankees as the White Soz bowed to the Red Sox. Myers IWe base boot of Poffenberger's ground. CT, allowing Clifton to reach third paved the way for Detroit's winning run when Pete Fox lifted a long fly.
 Scoring all their runs off Vernon Kennedy in the first four innings the Red Sox triumphed over the White Sox, 5-1. The St. Louis Browns scored four runs in the ninth to beat the Athletics, 5-l. on Elon Hogsett's six-hit pitching.
 YESTERDAYS HERO Clay (Curly Hair) Bryant, Cubs smoke ball pitcher who was nursed along by Charlie Grimm for three years continued to make his training stage worth while by hurling Chicago into the league lead.

D. c. HEADS EXTEND
DEADL|NE ON TAX
Time for Filing Returns Put
at October 16-For Pay
ments, at November 30.

Difficulties OF invoking the business
privilege tax became apparent again
yesterday when the Commissioners
for the second time extended the
headlines for making returns and
payment of taxes under this new
levy.
On recommendation by Corpora
ton Counsel Elwood H. Seal the city
heads extended the time for payment
of the tax on the gross receipts on
businesses and professional occupa-
tions from October 81 to November
30 At the same time they extended
the deadline for the filing of returns
from October to october Is. The
second half payments are due in
March.
The extensions were granted after
District officials found that returns
were coming in entirely too slow,
and they voiced beliefs this was due
primarily to uncertainties as to the
meaning of the law. Up to Monday
night some 5000 returns had been
received. A large additional number
were received yesterday. but far less
than the estimated $4,000 to 10000,
all of which were to have been flled
by Friday night.
The commissioners also amended
a section of their business privilege
tax regulations affecting property
ownership to establish this rule:
THE ownership of real estate and
the mere receipt of rent therefrom,
either by individuals or by corpora
tions for distribution to stockholders
of such corporations, Is not in itself
business. However, the owning, hold
ing and/or managing of real estate
such as apartment houses or Office
buildings and the like, where such
buildings or portions thereof are let
to tenants to whom light or heat are
furnished, or for which janitor or
similar services are performed, is
business under the provisions of said
tile (of the revene acD, and receipts
therefrom must be reported and the
tax computed thereon"

an average of s3753 per month for
room and food, whereas the average
grant for unemployable adults last
month was SPAS
Street said he could not predict how
many of the 5000 adults on direct
relief might have to be dropped, but
he said the Welfare Board had decided
that the appropriation of roughly
81 ,400,000 for direct relief this year
would be spread in a fashion which
would carry out these decisions of the
board:
That the division (of public assist
ance) concentrate on the social security
categories. specially aid to families
with dependent children.
Adequate Budget Goal.
THAT in these cases every possible
effort be made to put these on an
adequate budget, with home-care
grants as an appropriate standard
That cases of unemployables for
general relief be accepted only as far
as the balance of the appropriation for
general relief will permit"
During August there we're $500
persons receiving direct relief.
Street said that vacancies on the
general relief list will be filled as they
occur, except that no new applications
can be considered after the quota is
reached, in the light of the new policy,
regardless of the need.

adults Face Drastic Relief Cut
To Supply Food for Children
Welfare Boards New Policy Entails
Slashing of Direct Aid List
to Carry Out Goal.

In order to increase allotments to
dependent children, there will have to
be drastic slash" in the direct
relief disbursements this fiscal year
under a new policy adopted late yes
terday by the Board of Public Welfare
Just how many cases will have to
be dropped from the direct relief list
Director OF Welfare Elwood Street said
he did not know.
The announced new policy to in
crease allotments for dependent chill
dren was regarded today as the first
effort in campaign for approval OF
the Welfare Boards request for a
new appropriation of $1,225,00O for
5000 cases of 'employables" who are
said to be now without aid In its
proposed 1899 budget, the Welfare
Board requested total of $4,079,0
for relief in all categories, or more
than double this years appropriation.
Food Main Consideration.
Street announced that the Welfare
Board had decided to increase the
allotments to cases including depend
ent children, so as to assure the pro-
vision of food and clothing and car
fare, even though some needy adults
may have to be dropped from the
rolls as result.
In August there were 9l9 cases of

BRAUER INDICTED
IN s & " H0[D-UP
Two Others Also Are Named
in Connection With Spec
tacuIar Robbery.

Alfred H. Brauer, 22-year- -old uni
versity student, who is said to have
told police he aspired to become a mas
ter criminal. was indicted today with
two alleged confederates in connection
with the spectacular S & w Cafeteria
hold-up August 81 while the restaurant
was thronged with diners.
His young wife Dorothy, who was
questioned by police. was not men,
toned in the true bill, which charged
Brauer. Harry G. Smith, 35 described
as the trigger man." and William P.
Allen, 80, taxicab driver, in whose cab
Smith is said to have made his get
away.
Said to Be Brains of Plot.
Brauer, said by police to have
planned the robbery, was implicated
by Allen, who was the first to be ar
rested. Officers quoted Brauer as say
ing he sat in the cafeteria and watched
Smith take s1,312.50, representing the
days receipts, from the cashier. Smith
was apprehended in Tampa, Fla, and
voluntarily returned with detectives to
Washington.
The three men, together with James
G. Bristow, 20, were charged in an
other indictment with robbing Charles
w. Harvey, Sanitary Grocery Co. clerk,
of 1859 of the company's funds as he
was walking in the 1000 block of K
street on the morning of July 27.
Holdup Is Described.
Brauer is said to have told police he
followed Harvey for several weeks, OBJ
serving him, and on the appointed day
pointed him out to Smith, who is ac-
cused of actually perpetrating the
holdup. Allen is accused of furnish
ing the cab for the getaway, and
Bristow with doing the driving.
Brauer, Smith and George Carroll
who has not been arrested, we're
charged with robbery in still another
true bill in connection with a pocket
book snatching near Cathedral avenue
and Fortieth street August 81. The
victim, Barbara w. Van Heulan, 2700
@ street, told police she thought either
Carroll or Smith seized her purse.
Brauer allegedly picked them up in an
automobile.
