D HEADSALL DAY Pium e ATBUDGET HEARNG Chances of Obtaining In- crease in $25,144,882 Lim- itation Seen Favorable. The three District Commissioners concluded a day of continuous testi- mony before the budget bureau late yesterday afternoon hopeful that their plea for an increase in the estimates would be granted, in part at least, The Commissioners cannot discuss What took place at the hearing, which lasted until 6 o'clock, but it is known that they regard as favorable their chances of obtaining some increase in the limitation of $25.144.882 originally placed on local expenditures. The results of the Commissioners’ efforts to obtain urgently needed ap- propriations for next year will not be definitely known until the budget is transmitted to Congress in De- dember. Virtually the entire afternoon yes- terday was devoted to schools, play- grounds and health estimates. Budget Committee Interest. It is understood that the several members of the budget committee conducting the hearings displayed an unexpected interest in details and also indicated that they had famil- larized themselves to an unusual de- gree with the minute workings of the municipal government The regular estimates ry only about $900,000 for school construc- tion, and it is believed that the bud- get ' officers will give most careful consideration to the possibility of including in the regular budget the additional school items asked for in the supplemental estimates. The to- tal in the supplemental school esti- mates is about $1.400.000. . The budget committee will resume hearings on the District government at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, with the following matters scheduled for consideration: Water supply, chari- ties, penal institutions and public bulldings and grounds under Col. Sherrill. At the hearing tomorrow it is un- derstood an_effort will be made to have the allotment for continuing work on the new conduit from Great Falls increased.

Davis Says Official Po- sition Disqualifies Him in Irrigation Research. D. W. Davis, commissioner of the reclamation bureau, has resigned | from the fact-finding committee re- | cently appointed by Secretary of the | Interior Work to investigate govern- | ment policles and methods of reclaim- ing arid and semi-arid lands, it was announced last night. Commissioner Davis two weeks ago sent his letter of resignation to Sec retary Work from Glasgow, Mont. under date of October 1. The Secre- tary has accepted it. Gives Hix Reasons. In declining to serve on the fact- finding committee, which holds its first meeting, at the Interior Depart- ment, at 10 o’clock tomorrow morn- ing, Commissioner Davis stated that he believed himself disqualified, be- cause of his position as head of the reclassification bureau. In his letter to Secretary Work he said: “1 desire to bring Lo your attention certain reasons why it seems to me I should not serve as a member of the fact-finding committee on federal irrigation. “It is contemplated that this com- mittee will investigate generally the problems of national irrigation. Such investigation naturally will cover not only the acts of former heads of the reclamation service, but also my acts as commissioner of the bureau of reclamation. “The committee might desire to make recommendations contrary to policies 1 am approving. On the other hand, it might desire (o approve poli- cies initiated by me. In either case it seems to me my presence on the committee might cause some embar- rassment. “I have such a personal interest in the matter that, under the ordinary rules applicable 'to such cases, it seems to me I would be disqualified. I feel that the problems of the bureau of reclamation are in need of all my time and attention ig my ca- pacity as head of the bureau.’ iNACCURACIES IN HISTORY CITED AT CITIZEN SESSION Col. W. E.

Rogers, who gave an eye-witness account of the bat- tle off Hampton roads, between the Monitor and the Merrimac. Col. Rogers cited the famous naval battle in connection with an inac- curacy which may creep into history. Referring to the statement in sev- eral histories, he sald that the Mon- itor sank the Merrimac. This state- ment, Col. Rogers declared, was un- true in that the Merrimac was scut- tled by her own crew. Col. Rogers was glven a rising vote of “appreciation at the conclusion of his taik, and it was ordered that his remarks be written out and given to the Congressional Library. The assoclation adopted resolutions asking that a space be given the Co- lumbia Heights' Association and the Mount Pleasant Citizens' Association in the proposed library to be erected in that section for meetings. A reso- lution was adopted thanking Samuel Fowler, veteran car starter of the Washington Railway and Electric Company for many years, for his kindnesses.

ENDOWED COLLEGE | (HELD AS STANDARD Hoover, Praising Lehigh Fund Drive, Says State Schools " Overcrowded. “We must depend largely upon the endowed colleges and universities for theé standards of education in America. Our state institutions are overburdened with numbers; their support from taxation not infre- quently falls to keep pace with edu- cational demand,” wrote Secretary of Commerce Hoover to President Richards of Lehigh 'University in expressing regret that he was un- able to attend the Lehigh radio night dinner in New York recently. On this night scores of alumnt dinners were held in all parts of the country, including District of Columblia, and were connected with each other by radio, bringing about almost the same results as though the entire alumni association had been gathered in one dining room. Lehigh is out for a $4,000,000 en- dowment by November 3. Many prom- Inent speakers were present in New York and thelr addresses were broad- cast to all the dinners in the various states. Secretary Hoover's message which also was broadeast, follows: “All the things we hope for in the future must take their root in our educational institutions. Lehigh stands high among them and must do her full part. We must depend large- Iy upon the endowed colleges and universities for the standards of ed- Our state instl- tutions dened with nun bers; thelr support from taxation not infrequently fails to keep pace with educational demand.

Grads Have Obligations. “We _each have an obligation to our individual Alma Mater of at least a minimum equal to the amount that that institution expended upon us. That obligation is even greater because we each incurred it at a time when we could not then individually afford to pay. s an advance to each of u are in honor hound to support the institution that has enabled us to take greater and more important positions in the world, to do more effective work, than we could have otherwise accomplished. This ex- penditure of money should be re- turned for the education of those us. Unless we do so we have prejudiced the opportunities of some one in our country to obtain the advantages that have been give to us. If we could Inculcate this spirit of obligation amongst the me Wwho have left our universities th. financial problems of our colleges and universities would be solved. Every college president shou! ve the unfaltering support of his alumni, for they are dependent upon him to maintain the reputation of their college. Tt is the reputation of our Alma Mater. its status with the public, that we in our profes sional life’ draw upon daily because of the insistence upon proper equip- ment for the service that we propose to undertake. The high and growing reputation of our Alma Mater adds to each of our own individual assets. The president of any of our colleges must look to its graduates for the inspiration of the high service which he must perform. Lehigh has had a great past; it has made a great contribution .to American life, and it is the business of Lehlgh men to see to it that her future is secure.” PROTEST PRIZE FIGHTING AT BERWYN “ARENA” Service Men in Disgraceful Display With Professional Bruisers; Says M.

MAID WITNESSED SHOOTING OF MAAS Her Testimony Leads to Search for Millionaire_in Sound Beach Affray. Special Dispatch to The Star. SOUND BEACH, Conn., Octgber 13. —Kathleen Fox, a pretty housemalid, threw new light on the mysterious shooting of Milton A Maas, wealthy New York chemical manufacturer, at | the home of Mrs. Ida M. Leslie, on Ledge road Thursday n.ght. The young woman was a witness to the shooting, it developed this afternoon. The story she told James F. Walsh, the prosecuting attorney, of what took place on the front porch that night differs materlally in many respects from the version given out by Mrs. Leslle, her employer. It was after the maid had been questioned the promecutor that Mr. Walsh ued his order to the police to seize all the letters in the house, including several of amn affectionate nature, sald to have been written by a New York millionaire. The police have In their possession the name of this man and the inquiry in this direction has shifted to New York, where efforts are being made Yo ascertain his whereabouts on the night of the shooting. The authori- ties virtually have abandoned the theory that the attack on Mrs. Leslie and the subsequent shooting of her st was done in an attempt of rob- . Instead, they are working on what they believe to be a more log- ical clue—that gunmen were hired by a person jealous of Maas' atien- tions to Mrs. Leslie athleen told the torney that she was in the rear of the house when she heard Mrs. Leslie scream. She ran quickly to the front door, she sald, and found Maas gra pling with another man on the porch. The manufacturer's assailant, accord- ing to the girl, was not able for a brief interval to bring his pistol into play. Then he fired twice and fled with his two companions, the maid declared. She said the light of the porch was burning brightly. Grabbed by Three Men. Mrs. Leslie told Mr. Walsh, Police Capt. Flana and reporters that she was seized by three men she had perceived by the aid of a flashlight standing in the shrubbery alongside of the porch. When she screamed. according to her story, Maas rushed out on the porch aml was shot by one of her assailants as he advanced. An examination of the eweater worn by Maas when he was shot showed black smudges where the bul- lets had gone through, one at the left shoulder, the second in the ab- domen. It was evident that these smudges were caused by gunpowder. The police say they are convinced that Maas was fired upon by a person at close range and not from a dis- tance of even a yard or two. An attempt was made this prosecuting at- after- noon to have Mrs. Leslie explain this apparent discrepancy but the wounded man, would not permit her to be interviewed. in her story, Gustave Fleishman, nephew of “Mrs. Leslie is very upset by the that has been caused b: this affair,” he said, “which is noth- ing more than an attempted robbery on the part youths.

At the time she started to leave the house to exercise her two Pekingese dogs along the beach she was wearing $10,000 worth of jewel The police are anxious to question Maas about any possible knowledge of a conspiracy against his life, in- spired either by jealousy or some business emnity.
