URGESOLDRATO | IND. €. BUDGET {Trinidad - Association Advo-| cates 60-40 Plan in Lieu of | Lump Sum Appropriation. The Trinidad Citizens' Association, ' holding its_monthly meeting in the Samuel G. Wheatley School, Montello | avenue and Neal street northeast, last night, unanimously approved a reso- | lution presented by Martin G, Steck- | er, treasurer, favoring the restoration of the 60-40 ratio between the local ! and Federal governments for the e: Denses of the District, to “replace the | present $9,000,000 lump sum, which | unduly taxes the citizens of the Cap Arrangements were made to | have the District committees of Con- gress and the Federation of Citizens’ Associations advised of their stand on this matter. Votes $10 to Red Cross. ‘The association voted $10 to the fund being raised by the Red Cross | and The Star for the relief of suffer- ers in the recent tornado. The action was taken on a motion by Charles W. Edwards, whose resolution also tendered “the thanks of the associa- tion to the publishers of The Star for the wonderful service they have per- formed in awakening the people of ‘Washington to the real seriousness of this situation,” and directed that the Federation of Citizens' Associations be officially informed of Trinidad’s action. A proposal by the president of the association, G. M. Koockogey, Who presided at the meeting, that Jots 54 to 58 on Montello avenue, between Neal and Oates streets, be rezoned from residential to first com- mercial by the Zoning Commission was adopted. With_the aid of a blackboard dia- gram Mr. Koockogey showed how the Patterson tract, lying between New York and Florida avenues, had been recently zoned for future de- velopment, and on the recommenda- tion of Dr. Percival Hall, the com- mittee on parks and playgrounds was instructed to “take up with the roper committees of the Senate and ouse. the matter of additional ap- propriations for the acquisition of as much as possible of the Patterson tract to makée a suitable park and laygrounds, sorely needed in the Northeast.” James C. Nealon was appointed to represent the association on the architects’ advisory council. Several members expressed dis- satisfaction over the manmer of col- lecting ashes, zarbage and trash in the neighborbood, and the executive committee was authorized to invite Edgar B. Kay, president of the En- gineers' Club, to address the associa- tion_on the trash-disposal problem.

Tells of Richmond Scenes in 1865, When Horsemen Visited Capitol. Special Dispatch to The Star, RICHMOND, Va., November 30.— Among those present when Frederick A. Stevens of Arlington, Mass., re- Stored to the flagstaff of the State House here Monday, the Confederate flag, which his grandfather and two other Union soldiers seized April 3, 1865, was Lewis W. Byrne of Wash- ington, D. C., who witnessed the re- moval of the flag when he was 10 years old. . Mr. Byrne read in the Washington Evening Star of preparations for the ceremonial restitution of the flag and decided to attend. Mrs. Willlam D. Lightfoot of this city is the only other living person believed to have been present in 1865. She lived across the street from the Capitol. She attended the ceremony Monday. “Richmond was on fire on the morning of April 3, 1865, said Bryne “and 1 was on Main street near Tenth. Three soldiers were riding toward me, each bent low in his saddle and rid- ing fast. At Ninth street they turned north and entered the Capitol grounds. I went up Tenth street, just as they got abreast of the old Wash- ington Monument. “At the door of the Capitol they alighted and one of the three held the horses as the other two entered. Of course, the building had been vacated. The two men went to the top of the building and removed the flag, re- mounted and rode off, taking the flag with them. Stores were being pillaged right and left. The day made a last- ing impression on my mind.” GYPSIES TAKEN HERE FOR JERSEY POLICE Gir] and Two Men Return to Face Charge in $3,200 Marriage Deal. Three gypsies were arrested here this morning for the New Jersey po- lice in conmection with the reported disappearance of $1,100 from Tom Mil- ler, one of their number, residing in Passaic. ‘The local police were informed the case is centered about Tom Miller’s |! payment of $3,200 for a gypsy maiden to become the wife of a son, one of 13 children. The daughter-in-law, regis- tered as Mabel Miller, alias Annie Stanley, 26 years old, was one of the trio arrested. Others arrested with her were Frank Eli Stanley, 41 years old, her father, and Steve Stanley, 23. They were found at 1920 Fourteenth street short- ly before daybreak by Detectives Kelly, Kuehling and Flaherty and taken to police headquarters, where Chief of Police John A. Galatian of Passaic awaited them. The three readily consented to re- turn to New Jersey and, with as many more gypsies as Chief Galatian could accommodate in Ris touring car, start- ed back. SRR P VO A Setback. The return to the home town of the “local boy” who has made good in the big city is rarely, we have uncer- stood, what it might be. In connec- tion with this we have to report the particularly sad experience of a young banker, who after eight years of ab- sence alighted at the station of the town of his birth. There was, de- spite his expectations, no one on the platform whom he knew. No one. Discouraged, he sought out the bag- gage master, a friend since boyhood. To him at least he would be welcome, and he was about to extend a hearty greeting, when the other spoke first. “Hello, George,” he said. “Goin’ away?” New Zealand now has 25,000,000 sheep, 500,000 more thah last yea: CHRISTMAS FUNDS REACH 35.394.303 iSavings Here This Year Set | New Record—Money Avail- able Tomorrow. Christmas savings here for 1927, amounting to $5,994,903, or virtually double that of 1924, will be released tomorrow by the 26 local banking in- stitutions having Christmas savings funds, it was announced today by Ed- ward D. Shaw, secrotary of the Mer- chants’ and Manufacturers’ Associa- tion. Release of these Christmas sav- ings, Mr. Shaw pointed out, will add greatly to the impetus already given to the shop .early movement, which this year was started here earlier than in previous years. Commenting on the great growth in the Christmas savings fund plan here. Mr. Shaw called attention to the fact that in 1924 there were 49,385 per- sons in Washington who used this method of saving for Christmas giv- ing, with the total deposits approxi- mating $3,000,000, as compared this year with a total of nearly $6,000,000 in savings, positors. “The rapid growth of the ‘Shop Early—Mail Early’ movement has; caused a change in the management of Christmas savings funds by the {banks and financing institutions of the country,” he said. ‘“When the Christ- mas savings plan was inaugurated a few years ago it was the custom in most cities of banks to make this annual distribution {of this money on or after December {15, but this year the banks in most | cities will make this distribution on December 1. “This change has been inaugurated because the depositors found that by delaying their purchasing of Christ- mas presents until after December 15 | | they were losing the best of the Christmas shopping opportunities and they were forced to compete with the tremendous crowds which throng- ed the stores during the last few days before Christmas. The bankers re- sponded quickly to the demand of the depositors and are making the Christ- mas savings funds available early this year.” CITY TO SELECT HEAD OF BOYS’ CONFERENCE Washington Youth Will Be Lead- er of Sessions Opening Here Friday.

Advices fror San Jose state that cir- !culation of petitions protesting to the Federal Radio Commission had start- ed. Albert Hoepner, who lives near the site of the proposed station, stated it would create an ‘“intolerable nui- sance.” Dr. Lewis said his plans provided for the sailing of 5,000 American men, women and children next year to Tel- el-Amarna, a city by the Nile, in Cen- tral Egypt, founded by Amenhotep, who relgned in Egypt about 146¢ B.
