BOARD Of APPEALS TX STREET p| |ANNFD
RP0L|CE URGED las 2-LANE ARTERY
Representative Bates Plans
Conference With Seal
on Custer Reviews.

Representative Bates, Republican,
Of Massachusetts, announced today he
planned to confer with Corporation
Counsel Elwood H. Seal in an effort
to work out a plan for creation of a
judicial board of review to pass on
appeals Of policemen dismissed by the
Trial Board.
Establishment Of such a board was
first proposed by Mr.. Bates at the
last regular session of Congress, when
he served on special subcommittee
OF the House District Committee ap-
pointed to consider bills providing for
reinstatement Of three dismissed po-
licemen.
Would Free Members Time.
1T seems a pity the time of the
House District Committee has to be
taken up hearing these appeal cases" :"
said Mr.. Bates. "An impartial board
of review should be set up to con-
slider these cases so congressional
committees could direct their atten-
ton to more important matters"
Dismissed policemen now are enti-
tied to appeal to the Commissioners
from the decision of the trial board.
Mr.. Bates does not believe this plan
Is satisfactory.
I'm the first place, the Commits
sioners are too busy to handle such
cases." he said. And I believe the
Commissioners are usually inclined
to 60 along with the Trial Board.
Moreover, I think the men In the
Police Department who are dismissed
should be entitled to appeal to a
judicial tribunal-one that would
hear all the evidence in the case"
Cites Massachusetts, System.
Mr.. Bates, Mayor of Salem, Mass,
for IA years, pointed out that dis
missed police officers in his State have
the privilege of appealing to the
courts. He said his idea for a judicial
board of review for District police
men was conceived after listening to
the testimony IN the case of one
former police officer seeking REIN
statement by congressional action.
II am convinced" he declared,
that ofhcer did not get q square

President Recommends $4,.
$4,000 Be Provided
for Establishment.
FUNDS EXPECTED TO BE
AVAILABLE BY JULY
Authorities Have Preferred to
Await Congress Action Before
Selecting Site.

The long-awaited new Naval Medi-
cal Center in or near Washington is
provided for in the budget estimates
now before Congress, President Roose-
Velt having recommended that s4,-
$4,000 be provided for the entire es-
tablishment, officials said TODAY.
Nearly half a billion dollars will
be required to purchase the land and
provide for construction of the neces-
sary buildings, including the utilities,
accessories an appurtenances. This
WILL likely be included in the Navy
department appropriation bill, but in
the budget estimates the item appears
under the heading of general public
works program" under the NAVY De-
partment section. The job would be
done as part of the public works pro-
gram of the Bureau of Yards and
Docks.
Congress has authorized the con.
structlon of this new Naval Medical
ter by act of August 16, 1887.
EMO. IS were made last session to Sc
cure the necessary funds with which
70 launch the project, but this failed
of enactment.

l. Rear Admiral Perceval S. Rossiter.
chief of the Bureau of Medicine and
surgery, Navy Department. who is
also surgeon general of the Navy, has
announced that no site will be chosen
until the funds are in hand
1t is known that the Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery and the Bu-
reau OF Yards and Docks have under
consideration upwards of so sites for
the Naval Medical Center. The NAVY
department has been importuned by
real estate agents to take options upon
thelr particular properties, but the
naval authorities have preferred to
walt until Congress actually appro-
pirates the funds before making anv
concrete land-purchasing move. Ad-
mlral Rossiter is anxious to obtain
around go acres of land in a desirable
location in this region to permit of
the necessary expansion.
Present Site Is Cramped.
Under the language of the budget
estimate the Navy would be empov-
ered to spend the funds for a site
at or in the vicinity of Washington.
D. c." '
The present Naval Hospital site. on
which the Naval Medical Center is
located, at TWenty-third street and
Constitution avenue NV, has long
been considered too cramped. Sue
cessive surgeons general of the NAVY
nave pointed out in their annual re.
ports the ramshackle condition of
the present war-built buildings that
form the hospital and have con-
demned them as firetraps.
Under broad plans of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion the new Navy Department would
De built in that area. Prior to the
establishing of the Naval HOSPITAL
there 1t was the site of the old Naval
Observatory. The new NAVY Depart-
ment, for which funds have not vet
been provided, would be a companion
building to the projected new War
Department, but funds for commence
ing this are not included in tho
present budget, according to the ALL

IN ETHICS CASE
Police Court Judges Weigh
Fate of Lawyer and
Two B0ndSmen.

The fate Of one lawyer and two
bondsmen charged with unethical
practices in Police Court today rested
with the Boad Of Police Court Judges.
There was no indication given as to
when decision might be reached,
but in the meantime all are permitted
to pursue their practice and busi-
nesses, since none has been suspended.
Completed late yesterday, the hear
ings are the first of the kind brought
under the Police Court rules permit
ting the Board of Police Court Judges
to suspend attorneys or bondsmen
from practice.
Respondents in the case are Attor-
| ney John P. Mullen and Bondsmen
Joseph P. MCGEE and Hyman Men,
delson. All are charged in a case
alleging that they conspired to charge
an excessive bond premium against
| Hans Otto Stasch after his arrest on
charge of drunken driving Stasch
is now serving a Jail term, having
failed to pay fine of $3.50 assessed
against him.
bar Brought Action.
In the one other case cited to the
judges by the Special Grievance Com
mittee of the Bar Association, headed
by Austin F. Garfield. Attorney Henry
D. Green is charged with dishonesty,
in that he is alleged to have secured
81 from woman on the promise he
would pay her collateral and return
any difference there might be. His
case was started yesterday so the
complaining witness might return to
Baltimore.
Arguments submitted in closing the
first case revolved largely on the
testimony OF Stasch. It was argued
that his testimony had been discredit-
ed by contradictions in his testimony,
especially in that he first told the
| judges that he had never before been
arrested and finally admitted that he
had been arrested more than once.
Even Mr.. Garfield stated that Stasch's
testimony was none too credible.
Among other things which William
E. Leahy, counsel for Mr. Mullen,
| argued was that even If Mr.. Mullen
had solicited Stasch's case, which is
charged by the committee and denied
by the defense, there is not a case
on record where an attorney has been
disbarred for solicitation.
Point to Conflicting Stories.
Attorneys Albert Goldstein, rep
resenting Mr.. Mendelson. and F. Jo-
seph Donohue, representing Mr.. Nc
Gee, made brief addresses in which
they pointed to the conflicting stories
of the complaining witness, declaring
there had been no evidence to justify
findings against their clients.
In the case of Mr.. Green, Mrs. Anna
Marie Jones Of 1924 w street Sc,
now living temporarily In Baltimore,
testified that on March 26, 1887, she
was sitting in Traffic Court waiting
to appear on parking charge when
MIR. Green approached her, said he
had been empowered to collect all
collateral that morning, and that her
! cases called for $4 She had a $40
bill, she said. which was changed in
the financial clerks ofice by Mr..
Green, who gave her $6 and retained
81. He gave her receipt on the
back of one Of his cards, she said.
Thinking the matter closed, Mrs.
Jones testified, she thought no more
OF it until notified in August there
was a warrant out against the car,
which belonged to her husband. Mr..
Green's case will be resumed next
Wednesday afternoon.

Overcrowded conditions at Gallinger
Hospital and plans for relief through
reopening of the old tuberculosis Hos

tion for patients, were discussed today
by House Subcommittee on Appro-
prlations when it resumed considera-
ton of the 1899 District budget
DR.. George c. Ruhland. District
health officer, and DR.. Edgar A. Bo-
cock, superintendent of Gallinger, were
the principal witnesses called before
the subcommittee.
DIR. Rutland Testifies.
DR. Rutland and subordinate off,

fled before the subcommittee yesterday
afternoon as to the necessity of various
items that make up the departments
budget for the coming fiscal year.
witnesses said the hearing was some
what stormy" and was enlivened by q
denunciation by Chairman Collins of
newspaper publicity in connection with
the Gallinger situation.
MIR. Collins was asked by newspaper
men what happened at the hearing
which was held behind closed doors.
"Too Jittery" to Talk.
Il don't know" he declared. I'm
too jittery to talk Get all you can
from Maj. Donovan" (He had refer
ence to Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, audi
tor and budget officer) And of course,
Maj. Donovan maintained silence. He
knew it is a violation OF House rules
to reveal what happens at an executive
session OF committee.
Considerable progress has been made
by the subcommittee in its review of
the budget. Mr.. Collins believes the
hearings probably will be concluded
before the end of next week, after
which his subcommittee will write the
1889 appropriation BILL

buildings
Revenue Of Previous Allotment.
The allotment is q renewal of a
previous allotment, DR.. Bocock ex-
planned, and takes up work which
stopped when the previous w. P. A.
money was exhausted. About go
painters, 80 laborers and S other
w. P. A. workers were on the job
today
Certain repair work must be done
on the interiors, such as replacement
OF fallen plaster, before the interior
painting can proceed. A schedule of
priority among the 36 buildings in
the Gallinger group has been worked
out, Dr. Bocock explained, and the
work will proceed in order to i'm
prove those in wrost condition first.
Application for renewal of the P.
w. A. grant was filed many months
ago, DR. Bocock said. He expressed
gratification that the funds had been
allotted to permit the much-needed
renovation work to go forward.
DR.. Bocock declined to discuss the
Gallinger items included in the bud
get sent to Congress yesterday by
President Roosevelt, because he was to
testify on these items before the
House subcommittee. Several pro-
visions are included in the budget for
improvement of conditions at the
municipal hospital.

Work to Be Begun in Sum-
mer if Congress Approves.
2 Other Jobs Mapped.

If Congress approves, development
OF K street NV, from Twelfth street
to Connecticut avenue into a two
lane traffic artery, divided into express
and service roadWays. will be started
early next summer, Highway Director
H. c. Whitehurst announced today.
This project is the largest of four
major street-widening items contained
in the 1889 District budget, which was
placed before Congress yesterday. 1t
is one of the numerous traffic en-
gineering plans developed by District
officials during the last year in an ef-
fort to relieve congestion and cut the
traffic toll.
Congressional approval is antici-
pated since ample gasoline tax, and
highway monies are available for the
work and at the past session of Con-
gress this plan was carefully reviewed,
along with others, by various men,
bers of the House District legislative
and appropriation committees.
Cost Is $4,000.
Capt. Whitehurst estimated the cost
OF the K street project at $121,OOO
The three other major street widening
projects are: Twelfth street NV.
from New York to Massachusetts ave-
nue., which would be widened from 80
to 46 feet. at cost of SAG, 900; Twelfth
street NV from Constitution to Inde-
pendence avenue S.W., at a cost of
$84500, and New York avenue NV.
from Fourteenth to Fifteenth street,
on the north side, by to 10 feet,
which is estimated to cost about $15,-
900. The total estimated outlay for
the four, therefore, would amount to
$267, 400.
50 and 20 Foot Lanes.
The plan for K street is to make
use of the present street width of
so feet as an express highway, on
which no parking would be allowed.
The present tree and sidewalk space
on each sidewalk would be converted
into 10-foot safety islands. Beyond
the safety islands on each side there
would be developed 2O-foot traffic
service lanes, each carrying a lane for
traffic and allowing parking. Beyond
this on each side would be new 20
foot sidewalks. 1t would widen the
overall width of the street, from
building line to building line, to lat
feet inches
This specialized traffic zone" sys-
tenn is planned as a means of segre-
eating through traffic from local sur
face traffic. so as to avoid congestion
and hazards to pedestrians and yet
to permit stopping and parking need
ed for service of people residing or
engaging in business along the thor
oughfare.

year. Operating expenses were kept below budgetary provisions during the past year, causing a net gain of $2,5l5.D8 oyer the previous year.
 Income S651,626
 The total income for the fiscal year just past was $651 ,626.93, while total disbursements during the year amounted to only $649,110.95. The budget was set at $651 ,353.96.
 During the year expenses of over $1O,00O in extra repair bills were in- cured at the county jail alone, where total expenses were $$13, ,367 .62, as compared with $102,571.84 in 1887. WPA painting project cost the county $2,281.76, and a WPA plumb ing repairs project cost $8,104.06. The county supplied only the materials for these projects.
 At the county home, expenses dur ing the year amounted to $286, .97 as compared with $278, 8,432.61 in 1887. This increase was principally due to two items = the state com missioner of welfare increased the rate of board for children in foster homes by 50 cents week and there was an increased number of com mitments at the home. In addition, $2,176.57 was spent for improving fire protection at the home, install- ing larger hydrantS, etc.
 Boarding Children
 Expenses for boarding children during the past year amounted to $154,553.32, whereas in 1887 the ex- penses totaled only $132, ,141.02, an additional $22,412.3O.
 However, by cutting other expenses at the county home, the commits sioners held the increase of total ex- penses there down to $8,317.36.
 Expenses applicable to the county commissioners office totaled $248,- 993.36, as compared with $256,071.72 in 1897.
 This reduction was made possible because factory expenses at the county jail were cut from $71 ,264. .15 in 1887, to $55, ,492.89 for the past year.
 For items grouped under the head ing of repairs, the commissioners spent $18,236.17 during 1888 and $9,495.02 in 1887, or an additional $8,791.15.
