WL ASK FOR FUND TO START HOSPITAL Commissioners to Include ftem of About $250,000 for Contagious Project. HOLD NEED IS PRESSING Cannot See Way to Include Entire $700,000 Needed in Present Estimates. The District Commissioners have @Becided to leave in their estimates for next year a part of the sum re- quested by the health department for ersction of a contagious disease building at Gallinger Hospital, it was reliably reported today. The health office suggested about $700,000. Upon careful consideration the Com- missioners are said to have concluded that the proposed hospital is needed urgentl¥ ‘and they will ask for some- thing more than $250,000 to start the Project next year. River Front Renovation. It also was reported today that they will ask for a small fund with which | to have a definite plan prepared for | the long contemplated of the Washington Channel tront This estimate would be used merely to have outlined a general method to be carried out in future vears as appropriations could be obtained. The Commissioners for some time have regarded the appearance of the city side of the channel as out of harmony with Fotomac Park on the opposite side, but there has been such & demand for more urgent appropri- ations that the rebuilding of the water front has had to be sidetracked District officials feel that the first step should be to have some one skilled in waterfront planning map out a project on paper, with detailed specifications. In this improvement the Co; felt that some prov to be made for waterway commerce | in any reconstruction of the channel shoreline. Chain Bridge Item. . Tt is understood the city heads gave some thought to a_request for funds to replace the old Chain bridge across the upper Potomac, but the item is said to have been one of those strick- en out in reducing the estimates to the limitation of $35,500,000 agreed upon! PPhe preliminary figures making up the above total for the vear 1925-26 will be transmitted to the Budget Burcau late today or tomor- row. It probably will be two weeks before the Commissioners are ad- vised as to whether further cuts will have to be made. The purpose in asking for funds to erect a municipal hospital for conta- glous cases is to eliminate the nec sity for making contracts with Ga fieid and Providence hospitals to han- dle these patients for the health de- renovation | river | considering partment. Both these institutions have ad- vised the health department that they cannot afford to continue pro- viding this contagious disease servic: at the prices heretofore paid by the Commissioners. The Commissioners, in turn, are limited in the amounts they can pay by congressional ap- Ppropriations. While neither hospital has vet made a contract for the current fis- cal vear, officials are hopeful xlml a satisfactory understanding w be reached.

HAMBURG, Germany, July 15.— Three hundred and fifty-six registerdd letters destined for Germany were opened on board the steamer Belges- land by robbers, who for some time have made the transatlantic mails, especially letters destined for Ger- many and Austria, unsafe. Of the Belgenland's consignment of regis- tered letters twenty-eight were stolen and 328 had their contents filched. Investigation has shown that the mail robbers have many helpers among members of the ships' crews. During recent months even unreg- istered letters destined for Germany and Austria®have often been opened pparently in the belief that dollars have been enclosed for the benefit of suffering relatives in central Europe.

He points out that Justice Hoehling did not attempt to decide the fundamental question of the right ot Congress to compel citi- zens to answer inquiries, but invited a decision of the appelate tribunal on the question Justice Hoehling declared that as the United States Supreme Court had not definitely de- termined the question in the three cases presented to that tribunal re- lating to such right of Congress it was the duty, following custom, for the court of first instance to hold agatnst the defen@ant and to sustain the right of Congress until a higher tribunal had an opportunity to pass on the quesuon NEGRO VOTE IS HEAVY.
