$66,365,0OO ASKED
FOR D. c. BUDGET
Increase of S16,601 900 Is
Sought by Department
Heads for Work.
budget Details on Page Az
BY DON S. WARREN.


District department executives have
asked appropriations for the next
fiscal year amounting to S66 1865 ,282,
which. if granted. would constitute an
increase of $l6,6Ol ,23O over this years
budget.
This was revealed today as the Com
mlssloners made final plans for formal
public hearings on the budget esti-
mates to be held in the board room
OF the District Building September II
and l3, beginning at 10 am Invi-
tatlons to have spokesmen appear
have been sent to more than 100 civic
and professional and welfare groups.
The aggregate of the requests of
the departments is less than the total
laid IN the laps of the Commissioners
year ago. At that time the depart
ments sought nearly 500 100000 and
the Commissioners found it necessary
to hack the total down to about $50
900 900.
Final Figure Of Last Year.
The Budget Bureau made further
reductions. to get the total nearly down
to SAT 900 900, but when the appro-
prlatlon act came out of Congress the
figure stood at $40. .764 ,O52, including
items carried in the deficiency bills.
1t is expected the Commissioners
again will make heavy cuts in the pro-
poSals. While no statement has been
given out yet, it is believed they will
attempt to hold the total somewhere
near $500O0.OOO.
Such toal may be affected consid-
erably, however, by final decision by
the Public Works Administration on
pending applications from the District
Tor loans and grants. In some major
instances. the departments placed in
tnelr estimates projects which since
have been approved by the P. w. A.
AS fast as any such items are the
subject of formal agreements between
the Commissioners and the P w. A.,
the duplication of sums will be
stricken from the 1910 budget esti-
mates.
Changes on Board.
The hearings will be conducted by
much changed Board of Commission
ers. 1t. Col. David McCoach. jr.. who
has been designated Engineer Com
missioner to succeed Col Dan I. Sui
tan, will take Office next Wednesday
Col. Sultan will officially complete his
tour Of duty here the same day.
Commissioner George E. Aliens res
ignation as one of the board became
effective Wednesday night. His sue
cessor has not yet been named. Pre-
siding over the hearing will be Com
missioner Melvin c. Ha2eu, president
Of the board
Spokesman for civic and other
groups. as we'll as individuals who wish
to appear, are asked to request a
definite time for their statements.
Periods up to Is minutes may be re-
served. All speakers are asked to re-
i duce their verbal arguments to brief
written outlines, so they can be con-
| suited by the Commissioners as they
make their reviSions of the estimates.
After the hearings are concluded,
the Commissioners and their budget
officer, Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, audi
tor, will begin the slicing process and
will send their own budget proposal to
the Budget Bureau about October /.
From that time on most details of the
budget plan. as drafted by the Budget
| Bureau, will be kept secret until the
President forwards the budget to Con-

ROOSEVELT LAUDS
LABOR Of BRITAIN
Hopes u. S. Can Come to
Settlement of Disputes
Without Strikes.
SS the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt said today he
hoped the United States could work
toward that state of mind which per-
mits settlement of labor disputes in
England with a minimum of strikes
and ill-feeling
He made the assertion at his press
conference in reply to question as to
how report of special commission
on English employer -employe relations
might be applied to proposed legisla-
ton in this country.
Mr. Roosevelt said that in working
out a law nothing could be accom-
pllshed by calling names and empha-
sizing violence of disputes He added
that he hoped employer -employe CO.
operation in this country over a period
of years would give Americans the
same attitude toward labor problems
as prevails in England
The special commission told the
President that British industry and
labor maintain industrial peace
through mutual confidence and CO.
operation.
Methods Translation Difficult.
Robert j. Watt, American Fedora
ton OF Labor representative on the
commission, said in a statement today
that this country could not hope to
translate the practices relating to COL
lective bargaining in Britain into our
country overnight, because it is diff
cult to hitch pair of horses to pull
a truck"
Asserting that this country was in
the horse and buggy stage as far as
labor relations are concerned" Mr..
Watt gave as cause "the Short
sighted bigotry of many reactionary
employers"
The commission, which made a
first hand survey Of labor relations
in England, offered no recommends
tionS.
1t said. however, that where COL
lectlve bargaining agreements mu-
tually satisfactory to national unions
and national employers associations
had existed for long period, strikes
had been few and strike violence rare.

were forced to slow down and tossed
stones at the windshields.
In Baltimore, Harry Cohen. business
agent for the union. reported to j.
Goodman Boyd, parole commissioner,
and promised no violence would be
tolerated in the strike
Maryland State police escorted the
convoy as far as the District line on
Bladensburg road, where half dozen
Washington motor cycle officers picked
it up and escorted it through without
stop. Virginia troopers were to watch
over the trucks the remainder of the
way.
Each of the huge trucks, which nor
mally carried driver and helper,
was manned only by single person.
Aside from the Laurel incident, it
was said the convoy encountered no
difficulty after leaving Baltimore.

GLENN SEEKS.
DOUBLE VICTORY.
in GARDEN MEET.
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, March IL G.N.S).
Can the worlds greatest miller
beat the nations fastest sprinters
at their own game?
So many thousands are so eager
to see this moot question settled
that Madison Square Garden al
ready has the S. R. o. sign out
for the final big indoor meet OF
the season tonight.
The miller, of course, is Glenn
Cunningham, and the Sprinters
whom he'll try to take are Jim
Herbert, national 600 meter cham
pion; Howard Borck, I. c. "A 600
yard king and record holder, and
Doug Edwards, of Boston Univer-
sity, and Yves Wallace, the Ford
ham ace.
Track experts, if not his oppo-
nets, are willing to concede the
Columbian mile-an event he has
won five years hand-running-to
Cunningham. But they are very
dubious that he can take the track
one hour later and hand a beat
ing to the aforementioned stars in
the Casey 900.
The experts agree that if Cor
geous Glenn can accomplish this
superfeat of speed and endurance
he must be something more than
human.
Much depends on how hard
Glenn is pressed in the mile race.
If San Romani, again in form
after a season marked by numer-
GUS injuries, can force his brother
Kansan to near-record time in the
mile, then it will be almost impoS-
sible for Cunningham to come
back so soon to stop the sprinters.
If allowed to make his own pace
in the mile, Cunningham may be
fresh enough to put up quite a
battle with the 600 brigade. Cum
ningham never has competed at
any route less than half a mile,
and he is going to discover that
the 500 is a gruelling dash.

BASEBALLS ARE
LIVELY

G.N.S) After weeks of inten.
sive tests which utilized both
scientific devices and old fashioned
Drawn, the Bureau of Standards
today concluded that there is prac-
tically no difference in the liveli-
ness of the American and National
Leagues official baseballs.
"Some National League balls
are more lively than some
American League balls and some
are less lively" the bureaus
findings said. There are slight
variations in liveliness of balls
of either league"
The tests were started last fall.
At first star sluggers of profeS.
sional baseball batted balls all
over Griffith Stadium.
Later the bureau perfected a
machine which by means OF air
pressure fires a wooden proJec-
tile representing the bat against
the ball which is "teed" like a
golf ball.
This batting machine was taken
to Griffith Stadium recently to
make a more scientific check OF
the liveliness of the two types OF
balls.
1T was easily possible to knock
the ball over the fence" the bu-
reau said. The average dis
tance was the same for the
American and National Leagues

amazingly to gain a unanimous
15-round decision over Farr,
DEVELOPED LEFT
He actually used a straight left
with effect. Sometimes he even
picked off punches with it and,
in the second round, he hooked it
first to the stomach and then to
the jaw, dropping Farr for a
flash knockdown. 1t was the first
of two, the other coming in the
third round from a right cross,
Farr taking a count Of six.
Asked later how, after nine
years Of left-handed imbecility, he
suddenly mastered this punch, the
eccentric young man replied that
he had started to stick it out in
the first round and found that
when one did this, one hit some
body on the Snout.
Perhaps he was clowning. BY
that time, it was coming to him.

Livingston crowded the plate,
and could hit only certain types
of pitching. Harris moved him
back in the box and has him

GREAT PROSPECT
If Livingston can hit you are
going to see one of the best young
catchers of recent years. His
gloved hand is like a panther's
paw, moving with deft certainty
to pick Up any ball. He can throw
and he can run.
