Substantial SAVINGS
On D. T.. Purchases
Forecast by Brennan
Report Hollis Practice
Of Jumping Supplies for
z or More Agencies

Belief that the District Govern
ment will be able to effect increased
annual savings in the purchase OF
supplies for its various agencies,
through consolidation of require
ments for two or more departments
in solicitation of bids. was voiced
yesterday by Roland M. Brennan,
District purchasing officer.
In his first annual report since
becoming head of the Office Deem
Der l, Mr.. Brennan reported that
some savings have been achieved
by this means since the practice
was inaugurated early this year.
Substantial savings would result,
he said. because production costs
on a greater volume are conceive
ably lower, freight rates are more
advantageous in carload lots, a
wider field Of competition is pos
sible, payments to suppliers are ex-
pedited and more liberal discounts
encouraged, unit prices are lower
on larger orders and paper work
is reduced.
Saving on Hospital Buildings.
AS an Illustration, Mr.. Brennan
reported that a consolidation of re.
quirements was made for equipment
for the two new Gallinger Hospital
ward buildings last February, with
the result there was saving of $500
In the purchase of hospital beds.
mattresses. bedside tables and
Windsor chairs alone Some bidders
were requested to supply bids on
one-half quantities. In two cases,
bidders quoted a higher unit price
for one-half quantities. Another
bidder refused to bid on a half
quantity, but did bid on the total
and was found to be the lowest
bidder.
d. c. First to adopt Principle.
Washington, Mr.. Brennan said,
was the first large city to adopt the
principle of centralized purchasing
and "blazed the trail to this OBJ
jective back in 1887. Chicago fol-
lowed in 1898, he added. To-day,
many States, cities and counties
have adopted centralized purchas-
ing, although there are compare
lively few cities where the central
purchasing authority buys for all
city departments, including the
Board of Education and the Public
Libraries, as has been done in Wash
inoton for many wears"
During the past fiscal year, ended
June 80, Mr.. Brennan said his Of
flee purchased s5,l36,250 worth of
supplies, material and equipment
for the District government. The
annual pay roll of employees of the
purchasing Office directly engaged
in purchasing. plus the cost of office
supplies, he said. totaled $50 $50,
or 1.03 per cent of the value of all
purchases.

In Auto Struggling
With Three Men
By the Associated Press.

ESSEX, Md, Sept. Ala clue
supplied by filling station at
tendant was investigated by police
today shortly after the body of an
unidentified woman who had been
beaten and shot or stabbed to
death was found in a shallow grave
in woods near Essex.
Theodore Desautels. the attend
ant, supplied the license number of
car in which he said a woman,
screaming and fighting had been
carried off by three men about two
weeks ago. The officers began a
search for Baltimore man toghom
the tag was issued
The car door was slammed shut
on the woman's hand during the
struggle, Desautels said.
Police reported an autopsy on the
woman's body showed an injury to
the thumb of her right hand, that
her skull had been crushed, and
she had been shot or stabbed twice
through the head.
Baltimoreans Find Body.
The body was discovered this
afternoon by James C. Preston and
Rudolph Patek, jr.. both of Balti-
more.
Desautels telephoned police that
night from his station at North
Point and the Philadelphia roads,
but Essex police were unable to in
tercept the machine. They said if
apparently had turned of on one of
the lonely roads in the area near
where the body was found.
The woman, Desautels said, was
wearing a print dress. The body
found today was clothed in a flow
cred dress, black hose, and badly
soiled shoes.
According to police, Mr.. Preston
said he had first seen the twig-
covered grave last Monday. and
had noticed woman's small white
felt hat nearby. When he returned
today, the hat was gone
Notice Pile of Twigs.
Police quoted Patek as saying he
was in the woods looking for mush-
rooms, and met Preston, who told
him he was searching for a certain
kind of wood to use in building a
boat.
They noticed the pile of twigs.
Mr.. Patek's story continued, and.
kicking them away, saw a mound of
earth beneath. Using a board, they
exposed the woman's foot and part
of her leg.
DR.. w. P. E. Wyse, Baltimore
County medical examiner, said a
preliminary medical examination
indicated the woman was about 80
weighed between 100 and 100
pounds, and was S feet 4 inches
tall. He expressed the opinion death
resulted from multiple fractures of
the skull 10 days or two weeks ago.
The position of the body. face

Bananas Bait Trap.

A new approach to the problem
was taken as the sun set on "Foggy
Bottom" All day, members of the
money-posse had been trying a
frontal attack, and not without some
success.
But for the cunning trio which
def1ed the best efforts of Fire De-
partment hose experts. a more subtle
snare was devised. Traps were set
on the roof of the institute building
at Twenty-fifth and E streets NV.
and baited with bananas. There
was nope that the fugitives could
be lured from their high perches to
partake of their favorite fruit.
In the wake of the wild pursuit
of the simians, there was wreckage
enough to do credit to a hurricane.
officials of the Naval Hospital were
heard to suggest that the next time
the Fire Department and the mon
keys decided to do battle. the en-
gagement be played on home
grounds.

escape from the Government bu-
reau's cages was flashed to the
