. Prospect of Community { Chest for Present Year. PRIMARY OBJECT STATED James R. Garfield Explains to Busi- ness Men How Cleveland Per- fected the System. Steps to establish a community chest in Washington, out of which to support the charitable and social or- ganizations of the city, probably will | mot be taken before the end of this| Year, in the opinion of Commissioner Mabel T. Boardman, a stanch advocate of the idea. Miss Boardman pointed out that .it is too late now to attempt to finance the charitable work of Wash- ington for the current year on the eingle budget or community fund olan. She also voiced the belief that he city should be made thoroughly familiar with every detail of the sys- tem before it is put into operation. James R. Garfleld's Address. Representative business men and charity workers gathered at the Wil- lard Hotel yesterday afternoon and heard James R. Garfield, son of the former President, explain how Cleve- Jand, Ohio, has perfected the com. unity fund after ten years of grad- al development. The primary object of a commu- nity fund is to have one united cam- | ,paign a year to raise the amount needed by all of the city's institu- tions and societies, instead of the present method of each organization conducting a separate drive. Mr. Garfield said the community fund is a source of protection, both to the societies and the spublic. because it practically guarantees to the former the money they need to carry on_ their work, and it relieves the husiness men and other citizens of the .nnoyance of receiving an appeal irom a different charity every week in the year. Points Out Advantages. Here are some of the advantages of the community fund, as pointed out by Mr. Garfield: It relieves the active charity work- | ers from the worry of raising the | funds with which to carry on their activities, thereby enabling them to devote all their time to relteving the needy. It distributes the burden of support- ing the city’s charities among thou- sands of the inhabitants instead of among hundreds. It establishes a spirit of co-opera- tion among the charitable organiza- tions of different classes and religion. In Cleveland, Mr. Garfield. declared, Catholics, Protestants and Jews have united in forming the Federation of Philanthropy and Charity, under the auspices of which the community fund is and expended. Method of Raising Fund. The complete needs of each organ- ization for the entire year are drawn up into one budget, he said. which Tepresents the full amount the city must give to charity during the twelve months. The federation then raises the amount needed in an intensive seven-day campaign. Introducing Mr. Garfield, Commis- sioner Boardman declared that every phase of charitable and philanthropic work has progressed in this country except the method of financing those organizations which had not been im- proved upon until the community fund plan was worked out.

TOTAL OF $395,000,000 PROBABLE FOR THE NAV Approximate Amount in Bill to Be Reported Tomorrow—No Cut in Officers’ List. The naval appropriation bill, which probably will be reported to the House i tomorrow, carries approximatel $395,000,000, a reduction of about $38,. 000,000 from the amount appropriated a year ago and $284,000,000 less than departmental estimates. Members of the appropriations sub- committee that framed the bill say this would necessitate a reduction of ,the Navy's enlisted personnel from a present possible maximum of 143,000 to a maximum of 100,000, but would permit a continuation of the Navy's building program at the same rate as during the current fiscal year. Chairman Kelley of the subcommit- tee says that a force of 100,000 re; lars would be ample for the Navy's needs during the year beginning July 1. = There will be no cut in the number of officers, according to Representa- tive Kelley, who said the subcommit- tee believed every one of the 8,500 now.in service should be retained. Use of only modern craft, in the subcommittee’s opinion, would cut down the amount of repair work at various shore bases and would per- mit a reduction in land forces and ithe possible abandonment of some Stations. No provision Is made in the bill for the abandonment of any of the Navy's land bases. Representative Kelley said that the amount carried in the appropriation bill would permit a monthly expendi- ture of approximately $7,500,000 on the Navy’s construction program dur- ing the coming fiscal year and would not necessitate the abandonment of any projects already started.

The beginning of the second semes- ter in the District public schools to- day found virtually all of them in a generally upset condition, with the teachers and officials making every effort to adjust them. Hundreds of children iere transferred from one classroom to another, and many others shifted to different schools. Pathetic scenes marked the trans- ferring in several schools. when chil- dren devoted to their teachers were parted. This was particularly true at the O Street Junior High School, where several girls were discovered crying aloud because they had been separated from their section teacher. According to school ofticials it will take several days to regulate the school machinery so it will run smoothly for the remainder of the Meantime, the entire school system will be in a more or less confused condition, due to the midterm reorganization. Comparatively few additional chil- dren were enrolled in the elementary schools today, according to first fig- ures sent into administration head- quarters. In fact, officials believe that not more than 300 new pupils will be registered in the graded | schools. The already overcrowded high schools, however, felt the effect of the midyear promotions. Figures obtained today show that 333 new students were registered in these institutions. Central received 275 of them, bringing the school total enrollment up to nearly 3,100, the largest in its history. Business enrolled 200, McKinley 148, Eastern 150 and Western 60. The O Street Junior High School registered more than 100 new students. To accommodate the large enroll- ments all of the high schools started in today on the two-shift system of operation. In most cases the fresh- men students were put into classes attending school in the afternoon, while the higher students were put in classes attending in the morning. WABASH MEN MEET. Elect Officers and Hear Address by President Mackintosh. Organization of the Washington Chapter of Wabash Men, with Vice President Thomas R. Marshall of the class of '73 as honorary president, ‘was effected at a luncheon of twenty alumni of Wabash College held at the Cosmos Club yesterday. Other officers elected were Dr. J. Rose, '85, president, and Charles Tracewell, "13, secretary-treasurer. Dr. George Lewes Mackintosh, pres- ident of the college, was the guest of honor of the.Jocal alumni.

SUES U. S. FOR DAMAGES. The P. Lirillard Company, a New Jer- sey corporation, has filed suit in the District Supreme Court against Francis P. Garvan, alien property custodian, and Guy F. Allen, acting treasurer of the United States, to compel the payment of $1,301.96, being the amount of a claim of the plaintiff against the Hamburg- American line. The claim grew out of damage to a_quantity of tobacco ship- ped over the Hamburg line to New York. The tobacco was damaged in transit and before the claim had been sett! the company’s ships were taken over by the alien- property custodian. GOING TO ITALY. Maj. John G.

ONLY $4,000 LAST MONTH $12,000 Average Derived During First Half of Fiscal Year—Con- tract Expires on July 1. Sudden decline recently in the value of waste paper, bottles and other forms of junk leaves the District facing the pos- sibility of a deficit in the operation of the trash collection service at the end of the fiscal trict Building today. Maj. F. S. Besson, assistant engineer commissioner, and Morris F. Hacker, supervisor of refuse collection, stated that only $4,000 was derived last month from the sale of material salvaged from the trash cans of the city, whereas dur- ing the first half of this fiscal year the proceeds from salvage averaged $12,000 month. In one month last summer $22,000 was derived from salvage. 1 Besson estimated roughly that the defi- jcit would be About $10.000 at the emi of the year in July, if the prices received from salvage do not increase. If the values of waste paper, cans, rags and Dottles go up, the deficit would be less. Taken Over by District.
