Dc. BRIDGES,
STREET AID
Budget Bureau Items
Given Approval by
House Leader

The opinion that each of the 46
street and the two bridge items
recommended by the Bureau of
Budget for the District in the fiS-
cal year 1888 are justified, was ex-
pressed today by Representative
Ross Collins CD of Mississippi,
chairman of the House District
appropriations subcommittee, at
the conclusion of a personal in
Spection tour of the streets and
bridges.
The MiSsissippian declared that
the Pennsylvania Avenue bridge
is in very bad condition" and
indicated that he would approve
the recommended appropriations
for a new structure there. He
commented, however, he believed
it would cost $2,000,000 to con-
struct new Pennsylvania Ave
nue. bridge.
The budget carries an item OF
$325,000 to complete drawings
and to start construction of the
bridge which it estimates will cost
a COdl OF Sl l,I0U,OUO. AS W JIG
46 streets, which the Subcommlt-
tee chairman visited with the
members of his subcommittee, Mr..
Collins said:
"It appears to me that each
of them need repairing. noted
several of them which / thought
could be held off in case we
have to cut the amount of
money for street repair work
recommended by the budget.
81 feel that all of these streets
should be repaired, and prob
ably there are others that need
some work done on them. How.
ever, 1 will have to look into
that later"
Tomorrow the subcommittee
members will visit institutions
under the supervision OF the
Board of Public Welfare. Thurs
day the inspection trip will con-
clude with visits to city schools.

JACOBS FISCAL
SOLUTION
SOUGHT
Capper and King Talk
Over Plans to End
Budget Dispute

A complete investigation of the
District government loomed as a
possibility in the Senate today as
Senator William H. King Cd Of
Utah and Senator Arthur Capper
(R) of Kansas met to outline the
Senate District COMMITTEES plans
for consideration of the Jacobs
fiscal relations report.
At the conclusion of the discus
sion between the two Senators to-
day, Senator King announced that
a full program of recommenda-
tions had been agreed upon and
that they would not be made pub
lie until they had been presented
to the full committee.
1t is understood, however, that
public hearings on these problems
are inevitable. The Senate COM
mittee, it is believed, will under
take its own investigation indie
pendent of House action, since the
House District Committee has de-
clined to meet in joint session
with the Senate committee.
Three-Part Quiz
If the Senate committee follows
any planned program it will be di-
vided into three parts. First of
all, the Senate committee will hold
public hearings on a reorgapiza-
tion Of the present form of gov.
ernment, with plan drawn by
former Peoples Counsel William
A. Roberts as basis. The second
phase will be directed toward fis-
cal relations of the District and
Federal Governments, and the
third part of the program directed
toward the proposal for additional
tax measures.
1t is to be remembered in this
connection that under the regular
order these measures will have to
originate in the House. The Sen
ate committee, however, Is ex-
pected to hold hearings so that
when the tax proposals are sub
mitted to it from the House, it
will be in a position to report
speedily and intelligently on the
proposition.
D. C. Income Tax
Although Senator King has not
revealed any Of the proposals he
has in mind, it is well-known that
he favorS an income tax for the
District. He has stated many
times recently that he favors this
tax, to catch number Of District
residents who transact business in
the States, but who set up domi-
cile here in order to escape State
income taxes.
1t is understood that he favors
a tax exemption of $500 in his
income tax proposal and that he
feels that Government workers
and others who receive salaries
above this amount should pay an
income tax, in order that their
interest in Government would be
aroused when they become tax
conscious.
The plan decided upon by
Senators King and Capper today
will be presented to the full COM
mittee. either tomorrow or the
next day.

TENANTS SUE
FOR $4,000

Damages totalling $4,000 are
asked in two suits filed in United
States District Court yesterday by
Noah Goodridge, 3432 Connecticut
Ave. N. W., and his wife, Mrs.
Frances H mpton Goodridge
against their landlord E. P. Tay-
lor, 1853 Columbia Rd. N. W., for
injuries alleged to have been sus-
tanned by Mrs. Goodridge in fall
in the apartment building where
they lived.
Attorney Godfrey L. Munter ap-
pears for the plaintiffs, who say
that the landlord had negligently
allowed rain and water to accum-
ulate on the floor of the entrance
of the building and that Mrs.
Goodridge broke her leg when
she slipped and fell on the slip
perry floor. She seeks $4,000 and
her husband wants $4,000 to COM
pensate him for loss of her serv-
ices and expenses incident to her
recovery.

Senators may be treated as the

Robinson almost had his feelings

said somebody at the table.

do their stuff conscientiously and
well. At o'clock Sunday morn
ing Miss Harlow was continuing
to look dewy-eyed at any person
to whom she was introduced. She
had begun looking dewy-eyed at
strangers at about o'clock in the
afternoon. Nor had the pleasant
modesty of Robert Taylor yet de-
serted him.

 Gold Be Shipped France
 Ten million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars will leave New York City aboard the liner Normandie for France
 Morgenthau declared that the French stabilization fund bought it to prevent the Franc increas- ing over the dollar too sharply.
 Maybe Others Buy
 Although declining to say wheth CT other countries had contracted to take gold, the Secretary left the impression that others sums will cross the Atlantic this week.
 He explained that the price of gold in London had reached $35.22 an ounce, making it profitable to transport gold from this country to Europe.

BERRY AND CHARLES ARE BOTH HELDN FEDERAL JAIL

After getting hold of Commis- sioner Tanner, Doctor Morcom, and Chief Deputy Marshal B. B.. Mozee, they returned to the cabin and Gene Doyle who was still there was arrested and taken to the city jail. Laws also describ- ed how Harold Charles, a native, who was staying with Doyle, was tracked to another cabin, and how they found him drunk and covered with blood. He was also taken to the city jail. Meanwhile, Laws, said that on his way to get official representation, he noticed the windows of the Hospital lit up. Upon investigation he found Lou Berry having his head dress ed for a scalp wound, which some quarters described as nothing serious. Later he and Deputy Marshal Mozee returned and Lou Beery was arrested, and taken to the federal jail.
 1. Laws also stated on the witness stand that he and Mozee question ed Charles in the City jail yester day morning as to what took place at the Doyle cabin, He de- clared that Charles told them that he had seen Lou Beery strike Began twice, with knife.
 When Harold Charles was plac- ed on the witness stand, his an- swers appeared to be mere eva sions, and he contended for some time that he did not know what happened, as he ran out of the cabin after stopping an earlier fight between Began and Beery. However, under questioning of the Coroner, he admitted he was trying to protect Beery. His first story was that he did not see (Continued on Page Two)

 Investigation of the events whi- oh took place Sunday, that night and early Monday morning, occu- pied the coroner's jury all day yesterday. John Began was found dead in the cabin of Gene Doyle, about 2 A. M. Monday, when Chief w. w. Laws was call ed and first witnessed the inter for of the cabin where the events took place.
 Following the doctors examin- ation and opinion yesterday, the jury sat at the office of U. s. Com missioner Tanner, who is ex-of- ficio Coroner, and listened to tes- timony of witnesses concerning the events of Sunday.
 Chief Laws was the first on the stand and told of being advised something was wrong, by two native girls, who had been ac- costed by Gene Doyle early Sun day morning just before 2 A. M., and asked to get the police. He described how he and his assist ant Mallaley, went to Doyle's cabin and discovered the terrible mess inside. with Began dead, slumped in a chair and laying partly on table.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 9, - Shang- hai fell into Japanese hands to- day, with the retreat of Gener- alissimo Chiang Kai Shek's Chin ese warriors, who held out for eighty eight days against the com bned Japanese army, navy, and air forces.
 Was Unexpected Stroke
 The city was asleep and un- aware of it's fate, when shortly after midnight the Chinese fore es began an orderly and quiet retreat toward the winter defense line protecting Nanking, the na- tion's capital.
 Did Not Know of Retreat
 The Japanese apparently did not learn of the retreat until 8 am. today. The withdrawal of the Chinese forces enabled the Japanese to place a ring of steel around China's greatest seaport,
