Fourteen Pages PBICE ONE CENT ki HON DEMANDS DISTRICT PAY POLICE ' AND HEALTH EXPENSE Committee Chairman Finds Old Civil Appropri ation Bill of 1878 Calls Upon Municipal ity to Stand Entire Cost of Maintenance of Both Departments. SAYS GOVERNMENT IS RELIEVED OF ITS ONE-HALF OF BURDEN By THEODORE TILLER. """ "" Delving into the yellow pages of the sundry civil appropriatioon bill of 1878, Congressman Ben Johnson, chairman of the House District Committee, startled the House this afternoon with a demand that the District gov ernment should pay all the expenses of the Police and Health JDepartments, with the claim that the law of 1878 provided that this entire burden should be borne by the District. - Mr. Johnson made points of order against every item in" the District appropriation bill relating to the Police and Health Departments. His moyejpok those in charge of the bill unawares arid these sections of the bill, were passed over for the pTese&?!rrtmiefthat precedence aridprior stattites-ma oeconsulted. ' w If the Johnson point of order is Buitalned the General Government wil lnot contribute one penny to the maintenance of the Police Depart ment, and the Health Department From the District revenues alone will come the 11.100,000 appropriated lor these departments. Cites Old Law. Although for nearly forty years the "United States and the District have di vided the expenses of these depart ments. Congressman Johnson thinks that this should be changed. He cites the following rider on the sundry civil appropriation bill of June 30, 1S7S: "The Commissioners of the District are hereby authorized to fix the sal aries to be paid officers of the Metro politan police until otherwise provided by law, and to require the Washington Gas Light Company to light the city lamps at such prices as shall be con sidered by the Commissioners to be Just and reasonable. And all expenses, here tofore Incurred by the General Govern ment, for the Board of Health and for the Metropolitan pollce'and for the cost of inspection shall hereafter be charged upon the government of the District of Columbia. " Put Up To District. When Congressman Johnson sprang thb ancient rider on a forgotten appro priation bill, he said: "I make a point of order against all Items In the bill relating to the Police and Health Departments, because the General Government should not con tribute toward the maintenance of these departments. Eleven days after the passage of the organic act Congress adopted, on June 20. J.S78, In the sundry civil appropriation bill, a legislative pro vision that the expenses of the Police and Health Departments and the coat Of -gas light inspection should be borne wholly by the District." "If ray point of order Is sustained, as I think It must be. I shall later move to amend this bill by providing that the appropriation for the Police and Health Departments shall come entirety from Distriot revenues." Burleson Flustrated. Congressman Burleson, in charge of the District bill, was plainly flustt-c-d by Mr. Johnson's move and he asked time to consider the novel proposition. Theltems were then passed over, and the chair will rule later this afternoon on Johnson's contention that the Uni ted States Treasury should not con tribute anything toward the Police and aalth Departments. The bills carries JSS1.219 for the Po lice Department, and S121,o2 for the Health Department, meaning that, if the old law of '78 holds good, the Dis trict must dig down Into its till for more than a half million dollars in ad dition to Its customary contribution. As s6on as consideration of the Dis trict bill was resumed today. Con gressman Johnson made a point of order against i.he $45,000 appropria tion for free school text books. Mr. Johnson said it was unfair that his constituents and the -constituents of other members must contribute to ward the purchase of text books for the District of Columbia, which is the case under the half-and-half sys tem. ."Horribly discriminating," was one term used by .Mr. oJhnson in describ ing such en arrangement. Congressman Jtoddenbery. actinK as chairman during the consideration of the bill, over-ruled the point of or der, and Mr. -Johnson then proposed an amendment nrovldlng that free text books should go only to those children whope parents were unable to buy books- IN T Appointments, Promotions, and Resignations for February Are Announced Today.

After a search lasting more than six months, Castro Rivera, son of a wealthy sugar planter, of "Ensenarda, Porto Rico, and former medical Btu dent at George Washington Univer sity, is under arrest in Atlanta, Oa., on a charge preferred by Miss Mary Easterday, of 1330 I street' northwest, who for nearly four years believed she was the young Porto Rlcan's lawful wife. News of Rivera's arrest was con tained In a dispatch received at Po lice Headquarters this morning from the chief of police at Atlanta. Tragic Story. Behind the arrest of Rivera lies a remarkable story of the betrayal of a young girl's love, a mock marriage in Baltimore in which a friend of tho foreigner is said to have impersonated a minister, and then the shattering of the romance when he cast aslue the girl who had borne him two children for another young woman whom he took back to Porto Rico and intro duced to his parents sb his wife. After spending- three yycars at George WasWngton'cUniverslty, Brveraayer4 ago last fall went to Baltimore and matriculated in the medical college of the University of Maryland. 'He came toWashlngton every Friday and spent the week end with Miss Easterday, who was known as Mrs. Riverda. In June, when school was over and he had finished the course In medicine, Rivera told the girl ho was going to take her to visit his parentis In En senardo. But he came no more to Washington. Letters sent to him at Baltimore were returned unopened. Then Miss Easterday learned that the father of her children had gone back to Porto Rico and had taken another girl, whom he represented as his wife, with lilm. Asked Indictment Realizing that she had been deserted. Miss Easterday, or Mrs. Rivera as she supposed she was entitled to call herself, went to the District Attorney's office to have her husband Indicted for non-support of his wife and two chil dren. Assistant District Attorney Harvey Given heard the girl's story and became suspicious that the mar riage was a real one. He went to Bal timore, searched the records, and found it naa never been recorded. Miss Easterday was prostrated when informed that she had been tricked by the man she loved. .She locked herself in her room with her two children and for days refused to see any one. Her mother, who Js employed In an F street store, feared that her daughter, who suffered a nervous breakdown, might attempt to harm herself and she was closely watched for weeks. On September 30, last, Rivera was Indicted by the grand Jury on a seri ous charge. Detectives Baur and Corn well located him in Cuba, but there was no way by which he could be ex tradited on the charge to this ojuntry. The next heard of him he had re turned to the States. The detectUes kept on his trail, but Rivera managed always to keap Just ahead of them. A few days ago it was learned that he was in Atlanta, and on Information furnished by the detectives here, he was arrested there last night. Another Posed as Wife. According to Detectives Cornweli and Baur, Rivera left Baltimore for Porto Rico last June with a young woman whose home is In that city. Reaching Ensenardo, he introduced her as his wife, and she was cordially welcomed bv the young man's parents. A few daya later. It is said, they learned that the couple had not been married, and sent the girl back to the States. Her name was not learned by the poller. Rivera is said to have followed her back to this country. Rivera is in his early twenties and is the son of one of the wealthiest planters in Porto Rico. He Is said to have enjoyed a large allowance while he was attending school here, and was popular with his fellow-students. At the time he met Miss Easterday she was only sixteen years old. It was a case of love at first sight and when he suggested an elopement to Baltimore she consented. No Knowledge of Fake. Mi. Given said today that he was convinced the young woman had no in timation she had been tricked by a fake marriage ceremony until he In formed her of the failure to And any record of the marriage after Rivera hard left for Porto Rico. At the time of the elopement Miss Easterday was living with her mother in Thirteenth street, near P street northwest. Rivera never provided a separate home for her, but is said to have paid for her board at her mother's home. After going to Baltimore to at tend college, he returned to Washington very Friday night and spent Satur days and Sundays with his "wife." Miss Easterday also visited her "husband" several times in Baltimore. Miss Ensterday's youngest child is less than three months old.

President Taft today signed the 'loan shark" bill after a conference with Senators Curtis and Paynter and Con gressmen Johnson, Adair, and Dyer, who, while the bill was pending in Congress, were familiar with all the facts urged for and against the meas ure. In signing the measure, the President issued a statement outlining the minor faults found with the bill, but stated clearly that any of its faults were far outweighed by the good which he ex pects It to do. The measure provides that money lenders or pawnbrokers shall not charge more than 1 per cent a month on loans. The President sni: -1 have concluded to sign this bill because Its general purpose is one with which everygood citizen must sympathize. "It has been presed on me that the rate of Interest to which pawnbrok ers are limited Is too low, and this Is urged as an objection to the bill, not because of any sympathy with pawn-brckers, but because it li point ed out that If the limitations of the bill are so severe as to discourage the legitimate pawn-broking business It will drive some pawn-brokers into Virginia and Maryland, where they will ply the business without any limitation or will Induce others to live in the District and put the lew at defiance and so subject those who are forced to resort to them to an ex tortion beyond the protection of the law altogether. 'The subject Is one In respect to which an experiment in legislation may oroperlv be made, and If it turns out that 1 per cent is too great a re striction Congrcs sin its wisdom may in crease the rata to 1 or 2 per cent.

Some of the police, assuming that the regulation was intended to apply to hay, have warned drivers of hay warons that the rule must be complied with In the case, of that sort of traffic The difficulty about enforcing such a rule would be that it would have the practical effect of shutting hay from the surrounding country out of "Washington- The town would have to get "railroad hay," In bales, exclusively, People who keep horses not. only com- Elaln that baled hay is unsatisfactory, ut add that.
