budqef Increases Favored

An increase of $28O,0O0 in the
1910 budget for the Welfare Depart
ment, to permit expansion and i'm
provement of the child welfare serv-
ices of the District, will be favored
by the Commissioners, according to
indications given yesterday at the
District Building
The city heads are expected to act
Tuesday on the recommendations
submitted to them recently bv the
Child Welfare Review Advisory Com
flittee, headed by Mark Lansburgh,
which was based on the survey re-
port of Jacob Kepecs, Chicago con-
sultant, former president of the
Child Welfare League of America
1t appeared likely the Commis-
sioners would approve the budget
recommendations of the committee
and forward them to the Budget
Bureau, asking permission to spon-
sor an increase in the child well
fare administration expenditures
proposed for next fiscal year from
some $350,0O0 to s636,OOO.
The new plan would provide for
provision of more case workers as a
means of providing more foster
homes, as means of reducing the
number of dependent and delinquent
children confined in institutions; es-
tablishment of psychiatric and psy-

complained, "a colored undertaken
came to the house and said,
Where's the body?'"
THE top came" he said, when
a big hotel here called me up and
asked me what about reservations
for my party of 49,"
"And then," he said, this Joker
put advertisements in the paper,
and one morning there were more

every one of them looking for a
job moving furniture at SIS q

Il know who is doing It," he
said. "and in this case he caused
more trouble for those men look
ing for jobs than for me-"
Many of them had walked 20 or
80 blocks and others had spent
money for carfare.
Mr.. Edelman says he already has
asked the police for help, and they're
trying to help him now, he says. He
has managed to shut of the adver-
tising and he expects no more trou-
BILE that way, but he doesn't know
what to look for next at his home.
Every time the phone rings, he
says, he has misgivings as he

Thomas Circle
Underpass Work
Is on Schedule
Surface Street Port of
Job to Be Started Soon
On Northeast Side

Another definite step in the $780,
900 Thomas Circle underpass project
will be reached soon when work Is
started on the northeast surface
street between Thirteenth street
NV. and the circle.
This will be one Of two surface
streets that will be built on both
sides Of the underpass approach on
Massachusetts, avenue. When the
northeast surface street is COM
pleted and open to traffic, work will
be shifted from the northeast ap-
proach wall. now nearly finished, to
the southeast wall.
However. there will be no closing
of the street. Work on the south
east approach wall will be carried on
as it has been with the northeast
wall, without interrupting the
streams of traffic that flow along
Massachusetts, avenue and around
the circle.
Center Section.
Meanwhile, work is progressing on
the center section which will be the
actual subway. Steel sheeting is
being placed in position on the
pumping house for the subway and
drainage ditch has been con-
structed.
This part of the work will be
completed within a week or 10 days.
Then the pouring of concrete or the
subgrade in the center section will
be started.
This will be the floor level of the
subway which. with approaches on
both the east and west side of the
circle, extends from a point on
Massachusetts, avenue near Thir-
teenth street NV. to a point on the
west side of the circle, almost di-
rectly IN front of the German En-
basSy.
Shovel at Work.
The actual subway is, or will be-
through what is now the circle. It
will be covered and the monument
OF Gen. George H. Thomas, which
mas rested in the circle for go years.
Will be restored to its place in the
center.
A steam shovel is now excavatinp
the temporary ramp in the center
section preparatory to laying the
concrete base.
Relocation of utilities, which has
occupied contractors since the prof.
est was started late In December. is
oelng completed. Final connections
are being made of sewer lines at the
north side of the circle.
The project, designed to relieve
one OF the most heavily congested
trafnc points in the city, is sched-
uled for completion in october.

House D. {. Unit
To Rule on
Tax Bill
SuIes-Income Lew
Feature May Meet
Sharp Opposition

Ths fun House District Commit
tee tomorrow will decide the fate
Of the Nichols tax bill, the major
provision of which calls for a COM
bination l per cent retail sales tax
and q tax on earned income in ex-
cess Of $4,000 a year.
Favorably reported last week by
the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee OF
the District Committee. which de-
voted more than month to study
of the local tax problem, the bill is
expected to meet some opposition in
the full committee. The fight will
revolve mainly around the sales
income tax feature.
Seek to Drop Sales Tax.
Several Republican members, led
by Representative Dirksen of 1lli-
nois, intend to make an effort to
have the sales tax eliminated. These
members will advocate as a substi-
tute a graduated income tax mod
eled after the Federal income tax
law, which would dip into salaries
as low as $1,000 for single persons
and s25O0 for married couples.
Tax experts, however, have in
, sisted an income tax alone, unless
the rates are made confiscatory,
would not produce sufficient reve-
nue. to meet the Districts budget
needs.
Chairman Randolph said he
would support the Nichols bill in
Its present form. Although he IA
vors a sales tax, Representative
Randolph said:
1T is my policy, as far as pos
sible, to support my subcommittee.
In the case of the tax bill and I
feel I am in a position to support
the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee,
and intend to do So
Fair Trade Bill Weighed.
In addition to acting on the tax
bill, the full committee also plans
to decide whether it shall with
draw from the House calendar a
bill designed to establish a So
called fair trade" practice law in
the District.
Several members have told Rep
Jesentative Randolph they believed
public hearings should be held on
the bill before the House is asked
to consider it.
The measure was favorably re-
ported several weeks ago at the re-
quest of its sponsor. Representative

Commissioners Back
East Capitol Street
Site for Armory
Southwest Washington
Location Provided in
Supply Bill Opposed

District Commissioners Melvin C..
Hazen and David McCoach yester-
day threw their support to the care
fully drawn plans for development
of a new home for the District Ma
tional Guard on the Government
owned area at the end of East Capt.
tol' street.
Both of the city heads declared
their definite conviction that it
would be wiser to erect the new
armory there than in some location
in Southwest Washington, as pro-
posed in the 1910 District supply bill
as it was passed by the House.
They have held to this view all
along. it was revealed. but refrained
from interfering while studies were
being made in various quarters. The
East Capitol street plan is spon-
sored by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and
other groups and individuals con-
sidering the development of the
National Capital as a whole.
Not on p. w. A. Program.
Both Commissioners voiced regret
that it had not been found possible
to include the new armory in the
Districts $18,150000 public works
program, particularly because this
would have saved the District As
cents on each dollar expended for
the armory. under the loan-and-
grant plan available to the District
and the States.
In fact. Commissioner Hazen said
he still believed the entire cost of
the new armory for the guard
should not be placed on District tax
payers, since the guard was essen
TALLY Federal protection rather
than one for the District as city.
An advance of $2,750000 for a
National Guard armory was pro-
posed by the Commissioners in their
suggestions for the Districts par
ticipation in the new w. P. A. pro-
gram, but it was disallowed as other
projects. particularly the extensive
anti-pollution sewer works and the
east building of the Municipal Gen.
ter, were approved.
Bill Provides S125,000.
The District appropriation bill
as it passed the House. called for
expenditure Of $125.0O0 for the pur-
chase of site for the arlnory in
Southwest Washington, and $25. ZOO
additional for drafting of building
plans.
President Roosevelt indicated q
few days ago he prefers develop
ment of the armory on the East
Capitol street site, following a con-
ference with Representative Collins,
Democrat of Mississippi. chairman
of the District Subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee
Mr. Collins said he would go along
with the President in the design
and location of the armory.

5e|f-Sty|ed Healer
Will Face Trial
Tomorrow
Packed Courtroom
Is Anticipated
During Procedure

A packed courtroom is anticipated
tomorrow when Rosalyn Randle,
who, according to the grand jury
that indicted her, is a self-styled
international authority and lecturer
on nutrition and psychology and a
mental healer, goes on trial in Dis
trict Court on a charge Of false
pretenses.
Miss Randle was indicted last
January after she allegedly took
$500 from young mans mother on
the claim that she could improve
his mental health. The grand jury
said she also is known as Helen G
Randle.
In announcing the start of the
trial before Justice Jesse c. Adkins,
Assistant District Attorney Arthur
B. Caldwell said yesterday he ex-
pected the proceedings to take UP
most of the week. Attorney Rober.
H. Mcneil will represent the de-
fendant.
The complainant in the case Is
Mrs. Catherine H. Reed, whose son
Rufus was graduated with lonors
from the University of PENNSYLVANIA
last June.
The indictment stated Mrs. Reed
became acquainted with Miss Randle
while the latter was lecturing at
the Shoreham Hotel. The lecturer
is said to have advised Mrs. Reed
that her years of experience as a
healer. a specialist in mental cases,
qualified and equipped her to
diagnose and treat young Reed.
The indictment further set forth
that Mrs. Reed was told her son
had a suicidal complex, that he was
weak-willed and that Miss Randle
claimed to have a picture showing
alleged malformation of his brain.
Miss Randle was accused in the
indictment of offering to cure the
youth-slow down the action of his
brain and increase his height by
at least inches. Mrs. Reed.
according to the indictment, paid
$500 to Miss Randle, but declared
the so-called personality builder"
was not an international authority
as she had claimed, nor was her
son weak-willed nor inclined toward
suicide.
