AUTO INSURANCE
FOR D. C. PRESSED
Representative Opens Drive Al
Result of Injury of Six
Sightseers.

Representative Millard. Republican,
OF New York initiated a determined
campaign today to require taxicabs
and other public vehicles in the Dis
trict to carry liability insurance as
the result Of an accident In which six
high school students from Bedford
Village, NJ Y, were seriously injured
while sightseeing in Washington about
= month ago
The children, en- route from Con.
gressional Library to a downtown hotel
were in a taxicab when it collided
with another vehicle at an intersec-
ton. The impact threw the children
through the top of the cab and all
were injured. One of them suffered a
broken back and is still in the hos.
pital
Millard explained the children came
to Washington with money they had
saved over a four-year period and
their parents could not afford to paw
the hospital bill. An effort to force
the driver of the Gao to pay the ex-
penses he said, disclosed he did not
own the vehicle, had no liability in
surance or cash and that his assets
consisted Of a small equity in a house.
Indignant over this situation, Mil
lard late yesterday reintroduced the
old Mcleod automobile responsibility
bill, but discovered afterward It was
similar to an existing law and would
not require cabs to carry liability prior
to an accident. Now he plans to with
draw this measure and introduce one
that will apply to public vehicles a.
soon as they 60 into service.

W00DRING NAMED
WAR SECRETARY
Nomination Sent to Senate bv
President for Conhrma.

The nomination Of Harry H. Wood
ring Of Kansas to be Secretary of War
was sent to the Senate today by Presi.
dent Roosevelt. Woodring has been
serving as Secretary under a recess ap-
pointment since the death of Secretary
Dern.
This action by the President re-
moves any doubt that may have existed
about Woodring's tenure in the cabinet
as being only for temporary period.
When Secretary Dern died while Mr.
Roosevelt was campaigning in the Far
West last Fall. Woodring. who was
then Assistant Secretary Of War. be-
came Acting Secretary InaSmuch as
the law stipulates that an Acting Sec
retary may serve only for 80 days the
President, before the expiration of that
temporary period, gave Acting Secre.
tary Woodring a recess appointment a.
Secretary.
At the time it was understood that
1t WAS actually temporary appoint-
ment.
Unless the nomination was sub
mitted during the present session of
the Senate, Woodring's recess ap-
pointment would have expired when
the Senate adjourned
The President also sent to the Sen
ate the name OF Harold P. Burhe OF
Rochester, N. Y, to be United States
District Judge for the Western dis
trict of New York.

Capt. Hugh P. Dram, District director
OF Inspection; Edward A. Dent, District
surveyor. and John Nolen, IT,. director
OF planning for the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
The committee WAS instructed 10
recommend what may be done under
existing law and regulations, and TO
suggest any legislation that it may
consider necessary.
Capt. Dram said he understood the
proposed requirement OF OF street
parking for the tenants Of flats and
apartments would apply to the con-
struction OF new multiple-family
buildings. He said he did not know
how the proposed requirement could
be applied to buildings already erected.
In the past, there have been sue-
gestions for regulations banning all
night parking in the streets. a rule
which prevails in many OF the larger
cities. Surveys have indicated. how
ever. there are some sections so
thickly built up with row houses, fats
and apartments that ofY-street ga
RACES could not easily be provided
for all the car owners of the inme-
diate vicinity without the raxng Of
some existing structures.

were to be turned over today to the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue.
Previous to the sherin's action of
yesterday afternoon in declining to
answer further questions about his
personal income and expenses since
taking ofnce in 1884, the committee
had brought out by questioning Of
Middleton that he had taken in about
$33, 900 in three years in salary,
commissions, dividends and other
forms of income while acquiring stocks
and property costing more than
100000.

These three bills constituted only

The District is confronted with rak-
ing 36,000,000 in additional revenue
In the coming fiscal year to meet An

The Commissioners submitted the

of highways. had explained the need
OF an increase in the gasoline tax to

A plan for a new corporation tax

Public Utilities Commission, for draft

Logan proposal to vote two weeks
hence on all amendments and the bill,
. vote on the McCarran amendment
may be delayed.
During the meeting Senator Nc
Carran also suggested 1t might be
advisable to appoint . subcommittee
to whip the court bill into shape, with
the idea that some compromise might
thus be reached.
Unless the Logan proposal or some
modification OF it is agreed to, the
court bill may be before the Senate
committee for long time. Senators
said after leaving the committee to-
day that debate and amendments
would undoubtedly be lengthy.
Under the Logan proposal two full
weeks would be given for discussion
and then the committee would get
down to the work Of voting Such
a plan would avoid perhaps any test
vote on the bill for another two
weeks.
Van kuys May Give Test.
However, if Senator Van Nuys in
sists upon his motion to separate the
bill, q real test may be had without
50 much delay. Some of the Sena-
tors said they would support Van
Nuys' proposal and that they believed
1t had a good chance of being adopt
ed If that were the case 1t would
be a blow to the administration,
which Is insisting upon keeping the
bill as 4 whole, with the Supreme
Court program included.
Senator Ashurst, chairman of the
committee, said that it was his plan
to have the committee meet every day
except Saturday until the court bill
is disposed Of Although the chair
man would not commit himself on any
proposal today, it is understood he is
favorable to the Logan proposal to vote
two weeks hence. Perhaps the chief
development of the meeting today was
the apparent determination on the
part OF members of the COMMITTEES
to 60 ahead with all amendments and
vote on them prior to voting on the
bill itself
Radio Carries Debate.
Public debate over the Presidents g
proposal continued last night in radio

By the Associated Press.
Two prominent members Of Congress
predicted today the Governments s
deficit for 1898 would be more than
the $4l8, 1000, 900 mentioned by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Representative Smell Of New York,
the House Republican leader, declared
there was strong possibility the Gov
ernment would go in the red" about
$4,000 100000 unless the administra-
ton changes its entire spending policy.
Senator Byrd, Democrat. of Virginia,
chairman OF committee studying
Government reorganization, said next
years deficit would approach $780,
100000, with expenditures Sl02, 900 900
greater than this year.
His figures, he said. were based on
the Presidents message OF last week.
Smell said the Presidents estimate
does not take into account the extra
expenditures Congress always approves.
How many of these extra appro-
priations has he vetoed?" asked the
New Yorker. biting deliberately on 4
matchstick as he sat at his desk.
Dema nds Statement.
He said he wanted to see q definite
statement from the President before
he would believe legislation for farm
tenancy aids, housing and crop in
surance had been abandoned.
Speaker Bankhead said he believed
the measures mentioned would not
be enacted. although he personally
hoped for passage Of tenancy aids.
Bankhead added the administra-
tions economy drive would put the
House in \ position to clear its CAL
endar within . few weeks"
He told newsmen President Roose-
velt's court reorganization program,
now before the Senate Judiciary
Committee, made speculation on the
end OF the session dincult, however
Economy sentiment in Congress
divided between 4 horizontal 10 per
cent reduction in Government ex.
penditures and . saving OF million,
by consolidating agencies and reduc-
ing personnel

proposals for . nat cut, said if those

Garner was active in behalf OF tn.
suggestion by Senator Byrnes, Demo.
crat. OF South Carolina. to reduce BY
one-tenth all appropriations for ths
fiscal year beginning July /.
Senator Borah, Republican, o
Idaho, and others contended for {
selective approach in making cuts.
The situation contrasted with thu
economy campaign OF 1888, wher
Congress authorized the President t.
save $500 100000 year BY cuts il
veterans allowances and Federal pay
No suggestions for similar reduction,
now are being made. Various Sena.
tors pointed out that those origina
cuts were largely restored in a matter
