From letter to the controller gen.
eral of October rs, 1885:
As a member Of Congress I want to
call on you to see that this law (the
anti-communism clause in the District
appropriation bilD is enforced, and
that no person connected with the
public schools of Washington who re-
ceives pay from the school appro-
priations shall receive one dollar OF
such money wftsse such person either
teaches or advocates communism.
Mr.. Prettyman does not make the
law and Mr.. Prettyman cannot set
aside permanent law passed unan-
imously by Congress, by merely pre-
pairing ruling on same, and neither
can the School Board take such &C.
ton. Four hundred and thirty-five
members of the House and 96 Sem
ators ought to have just as much
sense as Mr.. Prettyman and the
School Board. and until an act of
Congress, regularly passed by unan-
imous vote, is set aside by the courts
I know you well enough to know that
you will stand by the law and see that
it is enforced. Please advise me your
reaction.

who should have the right to hire my own help.
 Personal Associate
 T must start in with at least one confidential employe of my own who will advise me as to the condition of the accounts and to what steps l should take. Consequently I have secured an experienced accountant who has been recommended to me as highly qualified for this purpose. He will not be an employe of the city of Waterbury nor on the city pay- roll but my own personal employe and will report in the city con- troller's ofilce on Monday and my instructions to him will be to open Up a new set of books to keep a proper record of the current busi- ness of the city. The existing ac- counts and records should be held intact pending the necessary audit. Section 100 of the city charter makes 1t specifically my duty, as the new controller, to audit accounts of all city officers including retiring officials, and as am succeeding a city controller who is now re- tiring, 1t is my plain duty under the charter to make such an audit or cause 1t to be made. I requested the board of finance to include an item of $6,o00 in the 1888 controllers administration budget for this pur- pose, but no action was taken. It is obviously now in order that I re- new my request to the new board of aldermen which may by two-thirds vote set up an appropriation for this purpose at any time during the year.
 Unfortunate
 Tt is very unfortunate that there should be any differences of opin- ion on this matter when the lan- guage of the city charter Is 50 plain. However, would be derelict in my duty if did not insist that I be put in a position to carry out the mandatory provisions of section 108 of the charter"
 q do not understand why there is such strenuous opposition to g prompt and impartial audit caused to be made by me as the incoming controller under section 108 by a competent firm of certified public accountants."

Offers sl5Cents In Settlement OfBusDamages
Alleged Hit-Run Driver Captured By Bus Driver
 Following Chase

Fifteen cents for scraping the side of a new bus and then driving off without ascertaining the damages. That's the price John Ru- kauskas, A, of 178 Bradley avenue offered Ron a l q Brightman, driver of a c. R. and L. bus yesterday at 5:30 D. m. when the driver chased him up Congress avenue and forced him to halt But the driver refused to settle on the scene - Rukauskas was arrested for reckless driving and evading responsibility -- and when arraigned in city court this morn- ing was given a continuance tc January 10.
 The story told by the bus driver is that he was proceeding up Con- gress avenue in second gear when the car driven by Rukauskas passed him st a high rate of speed, near St. Joseph's church, scratching the bus as he passed. Brightman, in Q report rendered to the bus company and to the police department, claims he then chased Rukauslkas Up Con- gress avenue until he caught him and forced him to halt at sey- mour street.
 Rukauskas claimed he did moi know he scratched the bus - but offered the driver IS cents as set- clement. The driver refused the offer and instead called the police department with the resultant arrest for RukauskaS.

 At Congress avenue and sey- m0ur street, Brighton said, he forced the passenger car to the curb. Police said Rukauslsas ad- mitted being involved in the accident.
