Even at that the deer, fleet as he was, might have escaped had a passer- be refrained from joining thec hase. This man outran the deer, which, may or may not have been a bit winded, in a straightaway dash. Gilmore drove up and helped the man bundle his captive in the cab, and to- gether they returned to the Zoo. There, although uninjured, the shock of his capture and the unaccustomed exertion proved too much for the fugi- tive, which kicked his last as he was returned to captivity. Zoo attendants, having obtained Gil- more’s name, asked the pedestrian who outran the deer to identify hh—nsel{. “I live at 1430 Swann street,” the man replied, and then hesitated. “You can believe it or not,” he de- clared, “but my name's Swift Eagle.

The question went over until tomorrow without being settled When Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, introduced his several pay-cut bills some time ago, they were referred to the Appropriations Committee. The question as to whether this is the ap- propriate committee came up today when Chairman Jones brought back to the Senate the bill affecting the higher salaries throughout the Government and requested that it be sent to the Civil Service Committee Senator Jones said he had no desire to shirk -esponsibility, but that the pending questions are legislative ones and that his committee is primarily to deal with appropriations Other Groups Suggested.

The apartments in question are the Veronica, 210 Thirteenth street south- west, and the Sussex, which consists of five houses, operated as an apartment group, at 1228 to 1236 B street south- west. Many of the tenants already have moved out because they knew the Gov- ernment was taking over the property, but several still remain. Under the law the Treasury Depart- ment must give tenants 30 days to va- cate, but it no coal nor any money appropriated with which to buy coal to heat the place in case tenants decided to remain for ghose 30 days. U. S. BUYS TWO APARTMENTS, BUT TAKES OVER TENANTS, TOO Treasury Must Give Notice to Vacate, and Also Furnish Heat. ‘Treasury Department officials are studying the puzzle to see what may be done about it. Under the building pro- gram it is desired to take over the property as soon as possible to tear them down for the extensible building. ‘The Government does not act in the capacity of a rental agent in operating | apartment houses, although it some- | | times subleases to other peopie. It is said, however, that the net income from rents from remaining tenants would not be enough to pay for the coal and jani- tor service for the rest of the month in | case some one did decide to sublet the places from the Government for a month and try to operate the apart- ments.
