IS SOUGHT
ON HOUSING BILL
Chairman Black of Senate
Committee Asks Imme-
diate Consideration.

p the Associated Press.
Chairman Black, working the Senate
Labor Committee at top speed, asked
it today to consider immediately the
Wagner housing bill.
Weary members finished several
weeks of concentrated work Yesterday
by approving revised wage and hour
bill. Like the housing proposal, it is
a major administration measure.
Senator Wagner. Democrat, of New
York. was invited to explain to the
committee today an amendment off,
cred to meet Treasury objections to
his bill.
The amendment would permit cap
ltal subsidies of As per cent as an
alternative for the annual operating
subsidy which the bill would grant
to loW-rent housing projects.
The measure would authorize a
billion-d dollar bond issue and a $780,
100000 appropriation during the next
four years.
Blacks committee recommended in
It's Wage-hour bill that q five-man
board, less potent than at first sug-
gested, could establish minimum
wages, in no case higher than 40 cents
an hour. It could not bring the hour
limits under 40 a week.
The bill would outlaw trade in
goods produced by children or by
any persons working contrary to
wage and hour limits.
1t would exempt agricultural labor,
most railway employees, seamen and
fishermen, most workers engaged in
intrastate production alone, and all
those in executive. professional ad-
nlinistrative or local retailing pur-
suits.

SIX TUBERCULARS
HELPED BY GIFTS
Get Chance to Regain
Health at Camp This
Summer.

Contributions from individuals and
organizations already have given six
tubercular children a chance to re-
gain their health at the District Tu-
berculosis Association camp this Sum-
mer, Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, manag-
ing director of the association, an
nounced today.
Nearly half of the total of $500 so
far contributed came this week from
persons influenced by newspaper de-
scrlptions of the camp opening Tues
day at half capacity because of lack
of funds, Mrs. Grant said.
The associations budget could
finance the care of only so children
this Summer, although the new camp
on Bald Eagle Hill, beyond Anacos-
tia. has room for 12O. Initial con-
trlbutions by the Parent-Teacher As
soclation and group of colored or
carnations provided for three addi-
tional children.
Mrs. Grant said other contributions
since Tuesday, ranging from SIS to s25.
now amount to $3.50. This is enough
to send two more children to camp for
the full nine-week period, and another
for seven weeks. I'VE shall select the
three children and send them to the
camp Immediately" Mrs. Grant said
hoping that at least another $50 will
come IN to keep all of them there for
the duration of the camp"
Today's mail brought a touching
letter with SIS contribution, Mrs.
Grant said. The letter read: In re-
spouse to your worthy newspaper
appeal, kindly accept this small con-
trlbution. My children recently be-
came motherless, and find it diff
cult to raise them, being they are
well, let alone being ill. trust some
one else will match my little bit
thereby giving another youngster a
chance to smile" It was signed
anonymous"
l wish the entire community would
come out to camp and see what we are
trying to do for those children, Mrs
Grant said. "Visitors are welcome at
any time. Perhaps if enough people
knew what we are doing, enough
money would flow in to fill the camn."
approximately 300 children are on
the waiting list, denied the life-giyine
camp treatment by what Mrs. Grant
described as tragic" lack of funds.
All the children sent to the camp
are in the very early stages of tuber-
culosls and with the proper medical
care, good food and rest provided bv
the camp can easily be cured Mrs.
Grant said. They are selected from
homes In which there are commune
cable, pulmonary cases of the disease.
unless taken from these homes they
have little chance. The children
range from 21a to IL years old.
AT camp they are required to 20 to
ped by 7:30 each night and take ad-
dltlonal morning and afternoon rest
periods OF two hours each, as rest is
such an important factor in arresting
tuberculosis. Their play activities are
carefully supervised so that they will
use up the least possible amount of
physlcal energy. They get three
nourlshlng meals day and some, on
doctors orders, are given extra milk
IN mldmorning and midafternoon.
such treatment arrests tuberculosis
in from 60 to 10 per cent of the chill
dren in camp each Summer, Mrs.
Grant said.

Disappointment awaited visitors IN
the Capital who expected the Japa-
nese cherry tree buds to turn to bios
SONS today, but the Cherry Blossom
Festival Committee was assured yes
terday that Thursday will find the
setting all that can be expected for
the pageant.
Although the blossoms may not be
at their best when Sakiko Saito 10
year-old daughter of the Japanese
Ambassador and Nine. Saito. is
crowned queen of the festival Thurs
day evening, they will be 'out."
Horticulturists yesterday reiterated
their forecast that pageant time will
be with and not without cherry bios
SONS"
Capt. P. j. Carroll Of the United
States Park Police decided to have
only a skeleton force patrol traffic
around the Tidal Basin today after
he personally inspected the cherry
trees.
There shouldn't be any traffic jams
today" he said, because it's going to
take some pretty warm weather before
the buds open up. It doesn't look like
they can do it before the middle of the
week"
Signs Point the Way.
Signs have been posted around va
rious parts of the city, mainly for the
benefit of out-of-town motorists, point
ing the way to the cherry blossoms.
This has been done for number CT
years past and is designed to facilitate
the movement of traffic. These are
pink signs attached to lamp posts.
Although Washington will be with
out q showing of the cherry blossoms
today, c. Marshall Finnan. superin-
tendent of the National Capital Parks,
promised fine display of magnolias.
These are found in masSed effect at
the stand near the District of Colum-
bia World War Memorial in West
Potomac Park. There now is haze
of color that comes just before the
blossoms open in force, he said.
Present prospects are that next SUM-
Gay will be Cherry Blossom Sunday"
when motorists from many States
will be here in great numbers, parti-
cularly If the weather is favorable.
Plans for the pageant are virtually

queen of the cherry blossoms by Com

Tax Load Ab0ue 1893 Budget
Hit by Citizens Federation
Special Meeting Called for Saturday
Night to Take Detailed Action on
District Supply Bill.

A protest against the imposition of
any more taxes on the District than
are necessary to meet the actual total
of the 1888 budget was registered last
night by the Federation Of Citizens
Associations
The body planned special meeting
next Saturday night to take detailed
action on the District supply bill, in
cluding the numerous legislative
riders" and the proposed $4,000 900
Federal payment, but by unanimous
vote opposed suggestions for "excess"
taxation.
L. A. Carruthers, chairman Of the
Fiscal Relations Committee. reported
that the eight tax bills fostered by
Representative Collins of Mississippi
were estimated to produce $4,000, 600
or more, whereas the deficit under the
pending appropriation bill was esti-
mated to be about $6,OO0,00O
There is no justice, rhyme or rea-
son in the proposal to raise twice as
much, or more, in additional taxes
than is needed" Carruthers said.
Fundamental Principles.
On his motion the body adopted a
resolution stating that "The generally
accepted theory of taxation recognizes
certain fundamental principles and
they include the following: Taxes
should be levied on basis of ability
to pay, or on benefits received; they
should be definite and fixed amounts,
levied in such a way as will preserve
the economic ability Of the taxpayer
and will take from him only such an
amount as is necessary to meet the
demands of government.
Thomas E. Lodge, president of the
federation, announced that the Execu-
tive Committee and the chairman of
all standing committees would meet
this week to prepare reports on the
pending tax bills, the budget and the
legislative riders"
At the meeting next Saturday the
federation will plan requests it will lay
before the Senate Appropriations SUBJ
committee which will have charge of
the District bill
Elevated Roadway Favored.
General plans for the construction
of an elevated roadway over K and
Water streets as a traffic bypass"
for congestion in Georgetown we're
indorsed on report by Arthur Adel-
man. chairman of the Committee on
Highways, Parks and Waterways. The
project has an estimated cost of about
81 100000 An item covering plans
for this and several other traffic en-
gineering proposals is contained in the
1888 budget bill.
Restoration to the supply bill Of
an item for starting construction of
new Pennsylvania avenue bridge
was asked by the body. Adelman said
there would be no economy In spend
ing $40, 900 for repairs to the structure,
that delay of the project would not
reduce its cost, and that mere repairs
would not relieve trafhc congestion
there. The proposed item for start
ing construction was stricken from
the bill in the House. l.

Of Utah to give the District parity
with the States in Federal funds for
Federal highway development, was
indorsed. The body also adopted an
other motion by Adelman calling for
an early start of condemnation pro-
ceedings for the opening of Taylor
street between Thirteenth street and
Georgia avenue.
Reiterating a previous action. the
federation urged adoption of the bill
to establish three testing stations for
the proposed compulsory semi-annual
mechanical inspection OF all motor
vehicles licensed here.
On motion by Harry S. Wender, the
federation also urged proposed
amendment to the Districts safety re-
sponsibility law to the end that the

they failed within 80 days to pay any
judgment against them for damages
caused in accidents
Burd w. Payne, the new chairman
OF the Special Committee on Reor-
ganization of the District Government,
last night disposed of the two matters
which had been before the committee
for some two years He took over the
ton Of George E. Sullivan, who re-
signed from all Offices In the fedora
tion after his defeat on the red rider"
issue.
Files Ordered to Archives.
One was the proposed enlargement
of the powers Of the Commissioners,
the election of a city council Payne
said the record showed that four
fifths of the constituent bodies of the
federation had never acted on the
matter and he recommended that the
files be added to others in the fed
eration's archives This was ordered.
The other was plan for an elective
municipal government, national repre-
sentation and retrocession to Mary
land of all the District not reserved as
federation territory. Payne said this
matter never should have been re-
ferred to the special committee land
should not have slumbered there for
% months" and he asked that it pe
referred to the Committee on Local
Suffrage. This was ordered.
A move to amend the federation
constitution to require the chairmen
of all committees to submit some
kind Of report within two months after
the reference of a matter and to per-
NIT the body to act on the subject by
q majority vote at that time, was lost
by but one vote. Thirty-eight voted
for the change and 20 voted against.
The required two-thirds majority
would have been 1876.
The federation did vote a change
in its bylaws to change from to
10 delegates the number needed to
call for roll-call vote on issues.
