IS BARELY ENOUGH
FOR FOOD SUPPLY
Proposed Extension of Work
house Appropriation Insuf
ficient, Whittaker Says.
IN NEED OF LARGER SUM
FOR ORDINARY ACTIVITIES
Operation of Bathing Beach Also
Limited. Under the Resolution
Adopted by Congress.
"One-twenty-fourth of the amount ap
propriated last year for the support of
the District workhouse, that being the
sum provided in the continuing resolution
adopted by the House yesterday, will no
more than provide food for the inmates
and attaches of the Institution, if it will
do that," declared W. If. Whittaker. su
perintendent of the big workhouse and
farm at Occoquan. today. He was discuss
ing the action of Congress in passing a
resolution continuing: last year's District
appropriations, pro rata, for the first
fifteen days of July, because of the de
lay In passing the new District of Colum
bia appropriation bill.
Supt. Whittaker further declared that
the operations of the workhouse would be
seriously interfered with and many of
Its activities curtailed should the appro
priation for its support be continued only
as provided in the resolution adopted by
the House.
"At this time of the .year." he stated,
"supplier of all kinds at the workhouse
are permitted to run very low. In an
ticipation of the new appropriation, stocks
of clothing, shoes, tools, supplies of all
kinds, and the food supply are lower than
at any other time during the fiscal year.
Expenditures are not made in absolutely
equal monthly portions, as it is neces
sary to spend much rfiore money during
some months than during others.
Equal Only to Food Supply. "
"If Congress allows only one-twenty
fourth of the total of last year's appro
priation for running the workhouse the
first fifteen days of July practically all
I of the money allowed will have to be
spent for food, leaving none whatever for
clothing and the varices other items of
necessary expense. In fact. I am not
sure the amount we will be permitted to
use will quite meet the expense of buy
tag food supplies alone. Of course, I
Imagine we shall be able to puli through
somehow; we always have heretofore.
Jiut workhouse activities will have to be
greatly curtailed, bccausc of the limit
placed on the ajpount available for run
ning the workhouse during the first halt
of July."
Similar conditions. It was learned today,
exist at the municipal ? bathing beach.
kfept open orrtjr about three
months of the year, though the appro
priation for its .support is an annual one.
The terms of the continuing resolution,
limiting the finds that may be used to
d6e-twenty-foi<rth of the amount of the
annual appropriation for last year, will
make it possiple to keep the beach avail
able only a few days, according to the
declaration dt Dr. W. B. Hudson, super
intendent of'the beach, today.
Limited Amount Available.
"I was under the impression, when I
read of the action taken by the House,"
said Dr. Hudson today, "that provision
had been njade for keeping the bathing
beach operu for the first halt' of July.
The wording of the resolution ?hows, j
however, tfcat only a very.small amount
would be uyai'able for the bathing beach
?not more than enough to keep it going
for h fe a days at the most. The annual
?rvrfvria?:on for* the beach i:^ t\. ponded

?e . L ? . r is in fac* a i ar.-: al ap-i
\: -r Di "Med into twenty-four
-.lis. at provided by the terms I
to'sution. the appropriation would
po o '?; a very little way toward paying
e< ? :-.es of the municipal bathing place
an. -voyld make it possible to keep it
? per. than a week." *
Dr. Hudson stated that a number" of
members of Congress who are inter
ested in the municipal bathing beach
have ? promised to take the matter up
at once with Representative Fitzgerald?
in the effort to have the appropriation |
l'or* the support of the beach prorated)
in ? a different manner. lie said that j
ttieee co:iKressiQr*al friends of the beach;
would endeavor to have the resolution
amended s-j as to provide the same'
amount for the support of the beach;
during the first fifteen days of July, ?
1&14, as was available for .s?- during the j
first fifteen days oi' July, Unless j
this could be brought about. Dr. Hudson
stated, it may be necessary to close the
beach tomorrow.
Stay Close Bathing Beach.
Auditor Tweedale stated today that
under the terms of the continuing ap
propriation resolution it would be nec
essary to close at least one of the
public comfort stations. The one-twen
ty-fourth ot the amount of the annual
appropriation, lie stated, would not be
sufficient to keep all of the rotations
open as usual, though he stated he be- I
lieved it would not be necessary to j
close more than one of them. Which
station would be closed because of lack !
of funds, lie -aid. was a matter to be j
detertnined later.
Mr. Tweedale stated that, us he un
derstood the wording of the resolution,
it will not be. necessary to exercise
more than the ordinary prudence in
conducting the other a .fairs 01" the
District in order to remain within the
limits of tlie funds that nil! be avail
able if the Senate ???incurs in the ac
tion of the House and passes the reso
lution. However, he Mia ted, it probably
will be foun?l impossible to keep the
municipal bathing bea h and swimming*
pools open after tomorrow, as. accord
ing to his understanding of the resolu
tion. the sum of last year's appropria
tion of the beach will be divided into
twenty-four parts, and only one-fif
teenth part of one-twenty-fourth may
expended on any one da v. Such
a minute sum, he said, would hardly
suffl.ee to keep ttie beach in operation
more than one day.
VOTUTG OK CHABTEB CHANGE.
St. Louis Is Considering: Radical De
parture in Government.
ST- LOUIS, June JW.?fit. Louis citizens
are voting today on the proposed new
city charter which has the indorsement
of the city committees of the republican,
democratic and progressive parties and
of most of the civic organizations.
The new charter radically changes the
city government by reducing the num
ber of elective officers, by increasing the
power of the mayor, by substituting a
one-bouse assembly for, the present two
chamber body and by centering much of
the administrative work in a board of
pUBc eenrice.
IN CITY P.O. FORCE
Four Resignations, Four Dis
missals and Seven Reduc
tions in Salary.
???
MEANS BETTER SERVICE,
IS MR. PRAEGER'S CLAIM
Points to Improvements Made Pos
sible Through Saving of
144.736 a Year.
Postmaster Praeger this mornifig said 1
that his force would be lessened at the !
close of today's business by four resig- J
nations, and four dismissals, with a fur- j
ther savir.gr by seven reductions in salary.
These will bring the total cost of
operation of the office to S44.73G less
a year, or $122.56 a day.
But. with th% story of lost positions j
and reduction in the cost of the service, j
Postmaster Praeger couples a story of a
big improvement in the delivery service j
through an increase in the number of j
letter carriers and the readjustment of j
the territory in which deliveries are
made in Brookland, Takoina Park, Chevy
Chase. Langdon, Georgetown. Tenley
town. Mount Pleasant and the northwest
portion of the city; the extension of the
business deliveries as far as I street
northwest; the doubling of Sunda*y col
lections of the mails and the house col
lection of parcel post packages weigh
ing ten pounds or more.
Details of Curtailment.
By the removal or resignation of
twenty-three superannuated and inca
pacitated employes, Mr. Praeger states a
saving of $23,U00 has been effected; by
the reduction in pay of eighteen em
ployes, v$3,500; by the discontinuance of
the mailing division at station F, on U
street northwest, and changes therein,
$3,627: by the discontinuance of the mail
ing division at Station A, Georgetown,
and other changes, $2,536; by the eliml- .
nation of auxiliary service at Brookland
station. $350; by the abolishment of for
mer station K, $1.4530; by the elimination
of auxiliary service at station H, Ana
costia. $400; by the abolishment of the
carrier feature at Tenleytown, $350; by
the transfer of contract station, 25, S20!?;
by the reduction and elimination of un
necessary and inefficient employes. $7,
0c>?, and by the discontinuance of the
terminal station at Union station, vi,
2y3, making in all a saving of $44,738.
Plans Further Big Saving.
Furthermore, Mr. Praeger said he had ;
submitted to the second assistant post-!
master general a proposition which will ?
effect a still greater saving, and which
can be made effective when, the city, post
office is moved Into the new 'building,
probably the latter part of August, he
said.
Under the present contract iot the "col
lection of the mails, trips are provided
for aggregating 72,404 miles at a cost of
$27,185. Under the postmaster's propo
sition, with five automobiles, he expects j
to give a Service aggregating 02,616 tniles I
at a cost of $10,206. Under this propo- j
sition not only will there be a wider col- j
lection service provided, but the auto-!
mobiles, which will be government-'
owned, will be able to take outlying car
riers promptly to the scenes of their!
routes, thus giving an earlier delivery. ;
HOUSE AND SENATE
ARE STILL AT ODOS
District Appropriation Bill Sent Back
to Conference?Compro
mise Likely.
The House nibbled again todas' at
the disagreement between the two
bodies on the District appropriation
bill, and sent the uncompromised
measure back to conference again with
a House substitute for the Borland
amendment, which the Senate refuses
to pass. The House held out with steel
like strength against the Senate in the
matter of paying Thomas IN". Keller
$4,150 for damages to his property;
and also refused to recede from its
position as to section 8 of the bill,
which forces the District to pay to
the United States Treasury any surplus
income it might have at any time.
The substitute for the Borland amend
ment is designed to place one-third of
the cost of paving streets on the prop
erty owner on one side of the street,
one-third on the property owner on the
other side, and the remaining third to
be charged against the joint fund of the
District and the United States.
Compromise Is Likely.
In discussing the House conferees' re- j
fusal to stand by the Senate amendment'
to strike out section S, Representative ?
Mann asked whether the differences could
not all be settled by agreeing to the
paying of $4,150 to Thomas W. Keller.
Representative Page's reply indicated
that a compromise of some sort will be
reached between the two houses within
a few days.
The appropriations for the District of
Columbia have been continued fpom the
end of th?: present fiscal year to July 16,
I through the resolution adopted by both
I houses of Congress, made necessary by
; the fact that the District appropriation
} bill is tied up by differences in confer
1 ence.
Chairman Page of the House confer
ence committee has filed a report with
the House, showing that the Senate has
receded from Its position demanding in
creased school facilities, even though the
District needs It badly, and though mem
bers of the House appropriations com
mittee adroit the need. The S ~*e also
receded 'from its amendment >viding
$300,0u0 for the proposed Gal. pr Hos
pital. but the conference adm *ed a fif
teen-thousand-dollar item for preparation
1 of plp.ns for the hospital.

"Mr. President: We come to you today
:is the representatives of over
clubwomen to present to you the resolu
tion of the General Federation of Wom
en's Clubs indorsing woman suffrage.
This is a most significant action. No
longer can it l*> said that women do not
want the ballot when the women's con
gress m-eting in blenuial session, vote its
earnest Ix-lief in the principle ot political
oquality regardless of sex.' We come to
vou therefore, backed by the force or
this great body, to ask you to use your

matter to you in detail.
Mrs. Logan's Address.
Mrs. Logan, who lias just returned from
tile Chicago convention, said:
??The resolution declaring the General
Federation of Women's Clubs for suffrage
contained just tlfty-eight words: 'Where
as the question of the political equality
of men and women today is the vital
problem under discussion throughout the
civilised world, therefore be It resolved,
that the G. F. W. C. give the cause of
political equality for men and women its
moral support by recording its earnest
belief in the principle of political equal
ity regardless of sex.' When the vote was
called for on the suffrage resolution sub
mitted to the house by Mrs. E. G. Den
nislin of California, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, the ayes Swept
toward the platform In a great wave of
sound, and only a few voices were heard
in the negative.
" The ayes seem to have it?the ayes
have it?the resolution Is carried,' de
clared President Pannybaker. Women
sprang to their feet, waving flags and
handkerchiefs and with cheers and songs
the twelfth biennial of G. F. W. C. put
itself on record In favor of progress,
justice, of equal political rights for man
and woman. And the great silence that
followed was the voice of thanksgiving
and prayer uttered from that innermost

plans for departure tomorrow or ?

Explains Need of Time.

ed here fod?- after a week's vacation and
conferred at length wit* Ministers
Suarez of Chile and Naon ?f Argentina
on the advisability of declaring the rs
cess. v
The note from Gen. Carranza, trans
mitted by Rafael Zubaran. his representa
tive In Washington, reached Ambassador
Da Gama Immediately on his arrival. It
sets forth in polite phrases the thanks of
Gen. Carranza for the Invltaticm of the
mediators to send constitutionalist dele
I gates to participate in Informal confer
I ences with Huerta delegates for the selec
tion of a provisional president of Mexico
and the solution of other internal prob
lems. . _ . ,
i Gen. Carranza states, however, that he
! would like to have more time In which
to cousu'.t his subordinate chlefa ana
generals before acting on the invitation.
He gives no Inkling as to whether or not
it will be accepted ultimately, but ex
plains that any change in the planjrt
Guadalupe, which la the platform of The
constitutionalists' movement, require
the approva. of the signatories to it.
The plan provides for a military conquest
of Mexico City and the establishment or
a revolutionary government there.
May Take Month or More.
Gen. Carranza gave the mediators no
Intimation as to how long it would take
him to consult his generals and chiefs.
He already has had one week's time In
which to do it. but It was freely pre
dicted that he might want, a month or
more. The Huerta delegates are willing
to wait a reasonable length of time.

Advice to British Subjects
to Leave Mexican Capital
May Forecast Rebel Attack
Although agents in Washington of
Gen. Carranza set the ditto of his proW
able victorious entry of the capital at
the head of his army as at-: least jl
month hence, news from Mexico City
that Sir T.lonel Garden has advised the
British subjects to leav,; thet city Is be
lieved to foreshadow an early attains
by the constitutionalist army.
Explanation Is lacking of why Gen.
Villa should double back to Torreon, as
has been reported. It is Intimated that
repeated stories of new breaks between
Villa and Carranwv may be permitted
by constitutionalist censors with a
view to diverting attention from the
strategy of the campaign now Rearing
a Washington government officials as
Wf!l as constitutionalist agents lien: ex
pressed considerable Interest in the re
port troll! Mexico City that Sir Lionel
Carden. the British mhJster. had ad
vised British subjects to leave Mexico.
Both, however, explained this action as a
measure of safety resultant from tho
continued approach of the revolutionary
armies upon Mexico City and the general
uneasiness over the faet that the medi
ation conference at Niagara Falls has
failed to bring about composition of Mex
ican affairs.
Say Carranza Will Send Delegates.
So'.ne of the constitutionalist represent
atives in Washington today reiterated be
lief that Carranza would decide to send
delegates to meet the Huerta mission.
Secretary Bryan would not discuss the
probable length of time the mediators
would await a definition of Carranza's
stand. It appeared, however, that they
would take no summary action as long
as there remained hope that consti
tutionalists would send delegates to dis
cuss plans for a provisional government.
Satisfaction was expressed in admin
istration circles today over reports that
representaUves of Carranza were to meet
tlie fighting Gen. Villa this week in an
effort to repair whatever breaoh baa oc
curred between the two leaders.
That news relieved stress caused by
reoorts from some sources that tha
