THE PROPOSED TRANSFER OF
CENSUS CLERKS CAUSES ALARM.

IIemenway, however, explicitly places
the bureau under the civil service. and
makes the present force of clerks eligible
to transfer to other branches of the Gov
ernment
The whole matter was recommitted to
the committee with Instructions to report
definite plan of organization for a per-
manent census bureau under the civil
service.
1t is doubtful II the measure can be
gotten before the House and through the
Senate before 1t is necessary to discharge
a considerable number of the Census Of
flee Jerks, but if 1T djes become a law
there will still be a ldrge number who
will come under its protection. AS their
services will not long be required by the
bureau it will be necessary to transfer
them.
1t is intimated that great many of the
clerks will go to the War Department
and in that event are liable to displace
the temporary force there. The latter
are. in consequence. much alarmed fear
ing that they will have to make way
for the transferred Census Office clerks.
Efficient Clerical Force.
Some of the temporary War Department
clerks have been in the service for three
or four years, and many were required
cured their places. Others served in the
war with Spain and thus gained posi-
tions under the Government They are
said to be as efficient as any other clerks
although known only as Temporary
clerks"
In discussing the matter yesterday an
old War Department clerk said:
IF room has to be made for any num-
ber of these Census clerks, 1t would be
better to put them in the places of female
clerks, who have grown to think they owe
the Government nothing for the 81 400 a
year paid to them. Amy honest clerk, who
will speak the truth. will admit that in
every division there are large number
of this class of clerks who are not oaly
incompetent. but who do not attempt to
give the Government value received for
the money paid them,
All Play and No Work.
II know of a number of them who never
report at their desks at the required hour
In the morning: who spend from forty five
minutes to an hour and half at lunch
each day, instead of the hall hour allotted
by the department, and who spend most
OF the remainder of the day visiting in the
various rooms, and in promena.ling
through the halls. Yet these clerks are
paid more than 500 per month in most
cases, and are protected by the civil SER
vice laws.
wherefore l say. II room must be made
for Census Office clerks, would it not be
better % relieve this class of clerks. of
whom there are many, instead of the
temporary force, which has proven most
satisfactory"

War Department Clerks Alarmed.
L: is thought that the temporary clerks
in the War Department viii be most af-
fected by such action, and they are be-
coming somewhat alarmed.
There are now more than :, 500 clerks in
the Census Bureau. AS the work nears
completion it will be necessary to dis
charge them unless they are protected
under the civil service rules and trans
ferred to other departments. The reduc-
tior will be gradual, but If a permanent
Census Bureau is organized it will require
but a few hundred clerks for several
years to come, or until the next enumera-
tion is made.

from the cab, being but semiconscious,
according to her story and taken into
the hotel by the soldiers.
Drinks Were Served.
Once within the place, as she tells,
drinks were served, and Miss Farley knew
nothing more for twelve hours When
she awoke yesterday forenoon she was
in bed at the hotel. alone, and without
her watch, ring and money.
From the description furnished them,
Detectives Helan and McNamee took Bel

were questioned. The effects of the men
were searched, and the watch and ieweIry
Of Miss Farley were found. At first, both
soldiers denied knowledge of the case. but
afterward they admitted, on being shown
the missing property, that they had met
the young woman, who, they claimed had
given them the jewelry. Their story was
substantially as follows:
On Saturday night at o'clock
they met Miss Farley near the
depot. and she spoke to one of them
She asked both men. they say, to show
her the way to a downtown hotel. A cab
was called, the soldiers and Miss Farley
at her direction. There. Miss Farley de-
clined TO leave the cab, SO the driver was
told TO drive on.

Finally the cab was stopped in front of

Miss Farley entered the hotel ard the men
followed. Belmont and Toilet ordered
drinks. which they affirm Miss Farley
helped them to drink, until all three were
more or less under the influence of liquor
1t was late at night. and Miss Farley
said something about remaining where she
was until morning. The soldiers started
10 leave the hotel, when the young woman
stated she wanted each of them to have
some little thing by which the evening
SO well spent, might not be easily forgot

then assert. Miss Farley proceeded to
give eaca soldier some OF her jewelry To
Belmont she gave her watch and ring
