D. C. TO SUBMIT 1926 FUNDS NEEDS JULY 1 Garges, Acting on Budget Burean Letter, Orders Estimates From Departments. TOTAL PUT AT $35,000,000 Requirements Expected to Exceed 1925 Figures by $5,000,000. An order directing all heads of de- partments of the District government to have their estimates for the fiscal Year 1926 in the shands of the Com- missioners not later than July 1 was issued today by Daniel E. Garges, secretary to the board This notice went forth on the heels of a letter received by the Commis- sioners from the bureau of the bud- et, advising them that that bureau will be ready to receive the tentative ngures of the Commissioners by July 14 While It Is Impossible at this early date to predict what the total of the teotative budget will be, it is not unlikely that it will approximate .000,000. Last yvear the original «stimatss of the city heads, exclusive of trust and spectal funds, aggregated $30,000.000, but the increased salaries of ' policemen, firemen and school teachers alone will add $2,500,000 to the nast cstimates. Wil Scan Requests. From July 1 to July 15 the Com- missioners will go carefully over the figured presented by the respective municfbal bureaus, to make sure that they have not asked for.un- necessary items After Gen. Lord gets the first report + of the Commissioners he will advise them whether they myst be further trimmed. With the ca®l for tentative esUmaies coming ahead of time this Je@®, the prospects are that the Commissioners will be kept busy prac- tically all summer on this task. In the last few years the prepara- tion of estimates for Congress has become almost a continuous job. The appropriation act for the next twelve months, on which the Commissioners bexan work last July, has just passed tarough the legislative mill, and the city heads find themselves facing the sahe task within two week . VIILL OPEN GAS CLINIC. Hospital to Treat Respiratory Cases With Chlorine. YORK, June 14—The New York Post-graduate Medical School and Hospital announced today the opening of a cl which will pro- vide chlorine gas treatment for cer- tain types of respiratory diseases. The board of health recently opened a chlorine clinic. At the Post-graduate the new treat- ment is expected to be of particular value in cases of head colds and other affections of the nose and throat. An officer of the school said: SAlthongh chiorine was the first of the poisonous gases employed for war purposes. its use medically is per- safe for the reason that the patient becomes conscious of irrita- tion long before the concentration of the yas is sufficient to cause damage 1o the tissues.” RADIO BEAM PLAN USED.

I, June 14.—A filibuster against adjournment begun by the Democrats in the state senate yesterday afternoon continued throughout the night and was still in force this afternoon with no sign of a let up, while the Democrats sought to force passage of an emergency ap- propriation bill before adjournment of the_session. The Republicans remained in their seats with the hope that Lieut. Gov. Felix A. Toupin would be forced to Jeave the rostrum. Should the presid- ing officer leave the chamber Senator Arthur A. Sherman, Republican, could take the chair and immediately recognize a motion to adjourn. Mr. Toupin remained in his chair and dis- played no signs of weakening. No appropriations have been passed for state institutions since last Feb- ruary. PATRIOT IS FORGOTTEN. Man Who Gave Eingapore to the Empire Died Neglected. From the Manchester Guardian. The man who gave Singapore to the British Empire, Sir Stamford Raffles, did not receive the consideration that he deserved from the home government, and when he died in 182, forty-five years old, he was a poor, neglected and disappointed man. This has been the fate of many another pioneer of empire to whom Whitehall has given more re- buffs than encouragement. Raffles was particularly grieved at the action of the Government in regard to his scientific collection, which he made largely at his own personal expense. He intended that this should become the property of the nation, but the au- thorities absolutely refused to incur the cost of bringing it to London. Raf- fles, not to be denied, chartered a ship, the Fame, in 1824, and spent money that he could ill afford to transport the col- lection. 1t was a_ wonderful collection that would have been highly appreciated by scientists a little later in the century. It was a menagerie of rare beasts, a botanical garden of trees and plants and a museum .of objects of scientific terest of every kind. But fate was unkind. The Fame caught fire on the homeward voyage, and the collection, said to have been one of the most Won- derful that was ever accumulated, per- ished in the flames, e T = S Rounders of the Sky.

NEW YORK, June 14—Harry Neg- gesmith, New York's first bicycle po- liceman, retired on pension today. Neggesmith played a leading part in solving the traffic problem that taxed the wits of New York officials thirty years ago, when throngs of bicycle - riders began to fill the streets. ‘While tackling the Broadway traf- fic snarl, Neggesmith assisted the late Lillian Russell to learn to ride a “wheel” One of his tasks was to enforce an ordinance prohibiting the carrying of children on the handle- bars. PEASANTS HONORED. France Looks on Farmers as the Mainstay of the State. From the Manchester Guardian. A simple ceremony which took place the other day_in the small town of Nogent-le-Routou, in the department Eure-et-Loir, ‘suggests how French opinion looks in an in- creasing degree on the peasant as the mainstay of the state and its chief hope in the difficult future. The ceremony consisted in the presenta- tion by the senmator for the district of the cross of the coveted Legion of Honor to Mme. Dordoigne, a peas- ant farmer of the small village of Bray. The Journal Official thus laconical- 1y states Mme. DerdolEne’s claims to the distinction: “Mother of twelve children, has remained a widow with ten children, all of whom she has made land_workers and one of whom died for France. Is considered in & DEFEAT OF KENYON CONVENTION UPSET Indicated Victory of Financial Centers Over Western Delegates. BUTLER MUCH CRITICIZED Leadership Badly Jolted, But Bay Stater Keeps Hold. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. The failure of the west to get together on a nominee for Vice Pres- ident at Cleveland is one of the remarkable and outstanding features of the Republican national convention just closed. The west—and by that | s meant the delegations to the con- vention from the western states—had the selection of a running mate prac- tically within its hand. The east conceded the right. The selection of Gen. Charles G. Dawes of Ilinois was finally engineered to a very great extent by leaders from the east— minus, of course, Willlam M. Butler, the Coolidge manager. Judge Kenyon of Iowa, put forward finally as the selection of the west for the nomination, did not get the votes of the western delegations. Had he done so a different story might have been told at Cleveland, notwith- standing the strenuous fight that w put up by New York and Pennsy vania against the selection of Kenyon. Opposition to Kenyon. As a matter of fact, the defeat of the supporters of Judge Kenyon for the nomination is declared by his op- been the most important piece of work accomplished. He was one westerner that the leaders in New York and Pennsylvania and the great financial centers were opposed to. Senator Wadsworth of New York and Senator Reed of Pennsylvania were the active floor leaders in the convention opposing Judge Kenyon When the Kenyon name was passed around as the selection of Mr. But- ler, immediately the wheels began to turn. Representative Everett San- ders of Indiana was the first sugge tion to offset the nomination. But i was an impossible choice. The very men who were putting him forward did not know his first name or how to spell his last name, so little known was he. Lowden filled the gap, al- though it had been decided practical- 1y to put Theodore Burton across on the second ballot. Pleaded Against Burton. Then the leaders from the west ator Reed and pleaded not to have Burton thrust upon them. They saw the vote in the agricultural states jeopardized. “Give us some one else.”” Mr. Butler has been criticized for putting forward Judge Kenyon. But, as a matter of fact, in the early morning hours of Thursday—the da on which the convention was to nomi- nate—Mr. Butler was presented with a list of candidates suggested by a conference of representatives of four- and southwest And Kenyon's name lead all the rest. It is not unnatural that Mr. Butler should have sald, “Try him out,” under such circum stances. The western delegations were to- gether on just one thing. apparently. the nomination of President Coolidge, Wisconsin and part of North Dakota excepted, of course. Butler {n Command. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Butler was severely jolted in his leadership during the selection of the vice presidential nominee, he is in command today, as chairman of the national committee, and the Coolidge organization, headed by Butler, may be expected to increase in power as old Harding organization, members of the Senate oligarchy, so called, were not unnaturally chagrined over the treatment that had been accorded them, and they hit back when they saw their chance. But the fact re- mains that there is to a very large extent a new deal. The old organi- zation is_out. Harry Daugherty, former Attorney General, who came to Cleveland for a “vindication,” faded from the pic- ture early. His state delegation turned him down when he sought to put forward a state leader. An_interesting occurance at the convention was the spontaneous ova- tion which Secretary Mellon of the Treasury received. When he was called upon to make an announcement to the convention, the applause came from all sections. The generalship of William M. But- ler during the nominating sessions for Vice President has been generally criticised. How generally was weil indicated by a little incident that happened during a golf tournament for newspaper correspondents in Cleveland held yesterday. One of the contestants swung at his ball with a mighty heave, good for 300 yards at least. The ball rolled a few yards into the rough. Tbe correspondent swore long, but not softly, and with heartfelt ex- pression, added: “I pulled a Butler.” Formaldehyde in Bombs. MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 14.—R.
