Balancing the Budget.

As for balancing of the budget, a
sincere effort is being made to cut
down expenses but the spending habit
Is so strong and the pressure to keep
on spending is so great from cities
and States and political machines
everywhere. not to mention Congress
itself. that hopes for balanced budget
in 1889 are not too sanguine. But
the effort is more serious than ever
before under the New Deal.
The problem of what to do about the
utilities is a grave one because direct
responsibility for the present situation
may be attributed to the Presidents
own policy. The facts, however, are
more important now than how the
present situation arose.
For one thing, the quantity of cleo
trio power being used nowadays is
about one-third in excess of 1929. Yet
construction has Jagged. Back in 1880,
the utilities were spending Sl,000.000.-
600 year This year they are spend
ing around S450,0O0000.
Judging by the transmission and
distributing facilities needed to take
care of the country's needs and the
extra generation required in various
regions of the country not supplied by
the Government itself, the utilities
could spend another $750,000,000 a
year or total of about 81 200, 100000
Why don't the utilities do it? In
the first place, the public will probabl
not lend them the money because Mr..
Roosevelt has hammered away at the
utilities to such an extent as to scare
away possible investors. Secondly the
only way to raise the money is by
selling bonds or what is known as
"senior securities" Here again because
of the administrations policy, the
utilities have not been able to float
common stock or equity money because
they have to a certain extent over

care of needs in the last three years
Of attacks by the New Deal.
Railroad Policy.
The doctrine preached by the Pres
ident with respect to the railroads
has been just the reverse. he mas
said that the roads should sell fewer
bonds and more common stocks. Now
the utilities cannot sell their common
stocks because of the administrators
attitude toward utilities, and when
they try to issue additional bonds they
find that in certain companies they
do not have the necessary leeWay to
get extra capital.
The particular obstacles which the
investor sees to buying the common
stocks of the utilities is that the

STEN0GRAPHER
TELLS OF HIS
VISITING HER
Refutes Rendezvous
Story As Told BY
Codeferdant

The alibi of ]. William Tomlin-
son, Washington attorney accused
as the brains of a colored robber
gang, was strengthened today in
United States District Court by
the testimony of Mrs. S. A. Gentry,
a public stenographer.
Mrs. Gentry, corroborating tes-
timony of Miss Jane Mary Wood
field, placed Tomlinson in her
Office far beyond the time on Au-
gust 10 that a prosecution witness
has charged that the attorney was
in the l Street rendezvous OF the
colored robber gang on the morn
ing of the robbery for which Tom
linson and Philip John Pratt, COL
ored, one of the alleged members
of the gang are on trial.
Told Exact Time
Charles Henry Bass, a third de-
PENDANT who pleaded guilty at the
outset of the trial and testified
for the Government, had said that
Tomlinson met him and Pratt on
that morning between the hours
of 8 and 10 o'clock when they had
divided the proceeds of the rob-
berry. Defense attorneys had pin
ned him down to the exact time
within the two-hour period.
Mrs. Gentry testified that Tom
linSon was in her office to &C.
knowledge a legal instrument when
she arrived at about 10 o'clock and
had been there for some time. She
further told the jury that Tom
linson remained in the office for
probably half-hour after the &C
acknowledgements had been taken.
Pratt Story Unchanged
Pratt was the only other wit
ness during the morning session.
He had been recalled by the Gov
eminent to complete his cross
examination and remained I'm
shaken in his story that he was
not in the vicinity of the scene
of the robbery at the time it
occurred.
It was revealed at noon today
that Trial Justice F. Dickinson
Let's may rush the trial through
to a conclusion today, even if
a night session is required, since
he has other urgent court en-
gagements tomorrow.
Attorneys James A. O'Shea,

SENATOR'S HEAR
LEAVE PLEA

Another plea to the District
subcommittee Of the Senate APP
preparation Committee to save
the leave of the per diem en-
ployes in the District was made
today by Charles I. Stengle, presi-
dent of the American Federation
of Government Employees.
The 1888 appropriation bill, as
it came from the House, contained
a proviso that these $500 en-
ployes should be paid only for
time actually expended in work.
A majority of these persons are
permanent employees and have
been receiving holidays and regu-
lar leave. Mr.. Stengle asked the
Senate subcommittee to strike out
this language.
A group of citizens, including
Dorothy Hyde and Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph r. Lyddane, appealed to
the subcommittee for an increase
in the night school fund. They
pointed out that citizens in the
western part of the city had not
had the benefit of night classes
since 1888 and suggest enough
money be added to set up the
classes in Western High School
and some other school convenient
to residents of that portion of the
city.
