Insists that the time bad come for a change In government, lest the controlling party become en trenched In graft. Fear of annexation, disagreement with the government's naval and transportation policy and anxiety lest the principle of national principle be abandoned, were other cause as signed for the surprising change which gives the Borden follower a big lead In the new House.

Bar rett, tho portrait painter, prominent member of .the First Church of Christ Scientist, and scion of a wealthy and aristocratic Virginia family, harvested a whirlwind of notoriety today by making a savage attack upon a photo grapher less than five minute after he had been released on the first assault charge. The woman companion was described by Mrs. Barrett this afternoon in her handsome apartment at 310 West Seventy-nlni street, as Mrs. Ivon Du mont, wife of Max Dumont, of New Orleans. Mrs. Dumont is tall, slender and beautiful. Sensational as was the first escapade in which young Barrett involved himself, he and his companion would have escaped revealing their Identity had It not been for hla furious attack upon the photographer, which led to hla re-arrest asd re-arraignment in the West Side Court. He atlll fought to maintain the fic titious Identity of Edgar K. Smith, but the photograph taken of him while he was attacking the camera man led to the revelation of both his identity and the Identity of .the woman who allowed him to beat her in the atreet and atill clung fondly to him. Barrett was held In 500 bail. COLONIST INFLUX JUMPS Harrtman Lines Report Passenger Business Double That In 1910. BAN FRANCISCO, Sept 23. (Spe cial.)

Street-Cleaning Require Big Sack Other Cost Great. j Three million dollars will be re quired to operate the city during 1913, If the estimates about to be filed with the City Auditor are allowed by the Council. The fire department heada the list with a plea for 3725,000; the police come next asking for 3550,000; the City Engineer's department and re pair fund la placed at 3500,000; street cleaning and sprinkling needs 3300,000; the bonded interest fund la 3280,000, and the park department asks 3150,000. Numerous smaller departments bring the total up to the highest figures ever aubmltted. While the . larger departments ere asking for big sums, as a rule, the smaller ones are asking but little. It any, more than allotted them last year for this year's use. The departmenta enumerated above require the major portion of the huge aggregate, all of which must be raised by a direct tax levy. Trimming I Neceaaary. Unless there Is an unmerciful wield ing of the pruning knife, taxpayers will have reason to sit up and take notice. Mayor Rushlight and members of the Council will have a most diffi cult task to determine Just how much money shall be allotted to each de partment It Is certain that In some manner, the budget will have to be trimmed, unless the administration wishes to go on record as levying the highest city tax on record, on the ground that all of the expenditures contemplated are absolutely necessary to the efficient operation and care of the various branches of the municipal ity. List Close September SO. - Estimates of the department heads are required this year by the Mayor to be filed with the City Auditor not later than September 30. They are not all officially complete at this time, but they are substantially so, and the Indications are that they will furnish the administration the most difficult task It has yet faced. The action to be taken affects every property owner in the city and the progress of the ways and means committee, when it gets Into action on the budget will be watched with profound interest The estimates of smaller depart ments are: City Hall, 320,000; garbage crematory, 331,000; pound, 37000; Civil Service Commission, 33000; City At torney, 320,000; plumbing, 315,000; Mayor's office, 36300; Treasurer, 316, 700; health office, 331,000; sealer of weighta and measures, 35000; Auditor, -345,000; building Inspector, 340,000. , Fire Fund Is Large. Acting Fire Chief Laudenklos' esti mate covers the operation of th de partment as It stands; calls for seven new, modern engine-houses, equipment for these, including full companies, an anglne each and auto combination hose and chemical carts; an automobile truck for Truck Company No. 1, at Fourth and Yamhill streets, and two automobiles to complete the equipment tor the battalion chiefs. Other items swell the total to 3725,000 for the year. It Is in this department that hereto fore, a good deal of pruning has been done, and It Is probable it will not get through this year without 1t Acting Chief of Police Slover rec ommends the addition of 75 more pa trolmen, eight patrol sergeanta and seven detective sergeanta, aside from an automobile and minor improve ments, all aside from the proposed new police administration building, for which a bond issue of 3200,000 was voted" at the last city election. 75 More Patrolmen Aaked. "I think," said Chief Slover yester day, "that the city stands in urgent need of 75 more patrolmen, eight pa trol sergeants and seven detective ser geants. There is one thing which I . very greatly wish to see made possible and that la the proper policing of the waterfront I want to put on three shifts of six men each there and I want another engineer for the patrol boat so that she can be gotten out promptly at any hour of the day or night That is a very Important fea ture." City Engineer Hurfburt Is desirous so to arrange his. department's funds aa to be able to keep the streets in better repair next year. With the necessary employes and operation of the office and field forces, together with the repair fund, it will probably require 3500,000. Street-Cleaning I Costly.
