arms office. or the offices of the clerk
and dOorkeeper the committee reports
that they found in both departments
certain abuses which may be grouped
under three heads, namely, transfers of
employees from the duties of the posi-
tons to which they We're appointed TO
ether duties, unjustifiable payments OF
compensation to employees while absent.
from their posts of duty. and divisions
of salaries" Under each heading the
committee specifies number of indl-
yidual instances. The committee says
that the amount of absenteeism is very
considerable. 1t is stated that one en-
pioye has not worked over six months
in the nearly four years during which
he has drawn pay. and has not been in.
Washington for eleven or twelve
months. Many eases of contributions
by employees of salaries are mentioned,
che of them in the last congress being
$1,000 annually out Of a salary of 81, 500.
1T is explained that these contributions
went toward equalizings salaries of 9th
sr employees. The committee finds no
evidence Of the practice OF assessment,
contribution or division of salaries in.
the present congress The committee
says in conclusion: We believe that
the abuses and evil practices which
Lave. by long continuance, grown up
under the present system of appoint
ment by house employees can not be full
~ and completely prevented except by
Z. permanent statute which shall prop
.erly and equitably adjust compensation
and employment, and specifically pre-
vent the abuses which have been herein
reported" The testimony, making a
volume of 120 pages, giving evidence of
each employe examined, also was made
public.

Sioux city, March Mrs Marie An
cerson. better known as Marie RiX, the
window sndsher. who five or six Years
ago used 10 break into print periodically
on account of her mania for breaking
windows when mentally unbalanced
arrived in Sioux City yesterday with
her 2-year-old baby from the county
hospital a Hillsboro. N. d.. being given
transportation TO this city to get lid of
her. Sioux City will send her back Inn
mediately to Hillsboro.
Mrs. Rix has shown her handiwcrk in
Sioux City but once. ard that was
about slx years ago when she was be-
ing shipped thru Sioux city to point
in North Dakota where she belonged
She punched out several windows In the
Milwaukee depot while temporarily In
game. Her only offense since then was
two years ago, when she wac being ta-
ken 10 a point In North Dakota 10
which she didn't care to go. The con-
'ductor refused to let her off the train
and she put her umbrella thru few
panes of glass. Soon after that she mar
ried man at Aberdeen, with whom
che lived harpily until he learned Of her
pasf. and then her husband attempted
to get control of the child and to Sand
her away from her home. She appealed
to the county hospital at Hillsboro for
protection. and it ssenis that the au-
thorisies, being tired of keeping her. are
now endeayoring to put her off on Sioux
City.
The poor woman has a sad history.
Much of her life has been spent in be-
ing deperted from one town to another,
as often as her mania for smashing
windows oyercomes her. AT other
times she is as rational as any one. and
tries to live down the reputation which
she acquires when she Is not herself.
