Included are two appropriations, one for $3,000 for the Department of Commerce and one for $25.000 for the Department of Labor under the head of “permanent annual appropria- tions,” which sums are made up en- tirely of estimated miscellaneous funds. In the Department of Commerce mection inereases totaling $380,207.80 more than was appropriated for the | current fiscal year are made. These are $551,990 léss than was proposed in the original estimates. Increases have been allowed for the bureaus of foreign and domestic commerce, navi- gation, standards and for the Secre- tary’s office. Ducreases have been made in the bureaus of census. steam- boat inspection service, lighthouses. . voast and geodetic survey and fish- eries. The committee has allowed an in- crease of §5.200 in the immediate of- fice of Secretary Hoover. An increase of $49,500 has been pro- posed in contingent ind miscellaneous | items, which is $11,250 less than the | estimates. Commerce Bureau Increased. For the burcau of foreign andi domestic commerce a total increase of §575,325 was requested. The com- mittee has recommended an increase of $381.825. which would make the annual appropriations for the cflmin‘l i | fiscal year total $2,009,610. The major items ~ benefiting by this would be: For the promotion and de- velopment of foreign and domestic mimerce, $100,000; maintenance of | District and co-operative offices, 550,000, and export industries, $100,000. Throughout the bureau there has been an increaze of 300 per cent in the number of inquiries answered and specific problems handled during the past vear, Chairman Madden points out.” For July, August and September. 1921, United States ex- ports totaled $442.728,486. For the same period of 1922 this amount had increased to $604,322,723. For the bureau of the census the appropriation recommended i3 $1,732,- 340, which is $5,340 less than the amount carried in the current appro- priation.

This was in 1912 and, the witness said, was of frequent occurrence, the wife calling at her husband’'s office and making love to him in plain view of the clerks in the District building. Dr. Thomas E. Neale said Mrs. Gr: ham discussed her marital troubles with him, and on the day before she went to Reno he asked her concern- ing the truth of a report that she would seek a divorce. She called it wild rumor and idle gossip, the phy- sician wtated. He saw the Grahams often, the witness declared. and they ;acted “like any other married coupie.” In answer (o a query of Judge! Wright. counsel for Lieut. Graham the doctor said, “Yes, they were af- fectionate.’ Dr. John T. Kelly, jr.. who attended Mrs. Graham when the second child was born. could not recall that he had ordered squabs for her. He had met Lieut. Graham just outside the wife's door, and had told him to go away, as he was not needed. Witnesses for the Humes had said Graham refused to let his wife have squabs ordered by the doctor because it was “expensive eating.” and had also shown indiffer- ence at the time of her illness. Other Witnesses were offered to dis- credit statements of witnesses for Humes. REDUGTION SOUGHT INMRS. FORD'S BAIL By the Associated Press.

For the bureau of standards the amount recommended is $1,642,360, which is $95,000 more than the cur- rent appropriation and $100.000 less than the amount contained in the estimates. This increase is made up of additions varying from $5,000 to $20,000 for different items throughout the bureau and is occasioned by the increased number of investigations and studies the bureau has been called upon to make for the various govern- ment departments. In the Department of Labor section of the bill the estimates for all the bureaus remain about the same, with the following exception: ‘The committee has recommended an Vermont avenue, U, T and 10th streets northwest, which is to serve as the tribute of the nation to the colored race, the first of its kind to be placed in the National Capital. A joint resolution has been intro- duced in Congress by Representative Madden of Illinois providing for the erection of such a memorial and for the appointment by the President of a commission of nine members to pre- pare the plans for the proposed monu- ment and to erect it to the memory of Pietro Alonzo, described by historians as pilot of the Nina on the first and { second voyages of Christopher Colum- bus to America. It is provided also in the resolution that the cost of the memorial is not to exceed $250,000, which amount is to be raised by voluntary subscrip- tion. The government is to appro- priate $25,000 for the use of the com- increase of $25,000 for the bureau of | Misslon in making its plans. conciliation, providing for additional commissioners of concillation, making the total amount $200,000. For the bureay of immigration the amount recommended this year totals $3.176,766, which i1s $335,464 less than last year's appropriation. At the meeting tomorrow night Francis Wells, president of the asso- ciation, will outline tentative plans to promote the interests of the move- ment, and there will be addresses by a number of prominent men.

The bureau of the budget based its reduction upon the decreased number of seditious aliens in this country, and that in deporting undesirable aliens the bureau would be in l’voil!!nn to handle them at the ports of entry. The bureau failed to convince the committes that this amount would not enable it to carry out its function in an efficient man- ner. For the children’s burean the amount recommended is the same as the cur- rent tion, $1,6561.040, but $440,000 more than the estimate of the budget. FIREMAN DIES IN WRECK. BINGHAMPTON, N.

The budget bureau has recommended an increase of $50.000 in this item and the city heads feel sure they will be able to show the appropriations committee the need for this additional amount Another gratifying item in the budget for next vear is $20.000 for continuing work on the Rock Creek interceptor. which Is being bullt to! free that picturesque stream from! i both within the District and from the | Maryland suburbs just north of the District line.
