Shortly after work was suspended, a
committee from the bricklayers waited on
Captain Sewell, to ascertain the status of
their grievance of Tuesday Captain
Sewell succeeded in satisfying the mem-
bers of the committee that unless the
laws of Congress were amended, they
were not entitled to a half-holiday. with
pay, on the day preceding a legal holt
day.
Having read to the committee the rul-
ing of the Comptroller of the Treasury,
which provides that all employees only
temporarily employed, such as those en-
ployed on construction work, shall be paid
only for services actually performed,

The bricklayers employed on the new

pay for both Christmas and New Year
Day.
Such a decision was reached yesterday
afternoon by Capt. John Stephen Sewell,
U. S. A, chief engineer in charge of the
construction work, after having granted
a committee from the bricklayers several
audiences to air their grievances.

The last official decapitation with Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the role OF executioner
occurred yesterday when David A. Num-,
collector of internal revenue at Nash
vile, Tenn, resigned. The action was the
result OF the Presidents request for Mr.
Nunn's resignation made several days
ago.
The charges upon which was based the
Investigation that resulted in ths request
were old ones. 1t appears that Mr. Num-
appointed to subordinate positions at his

accorded access to the civil service ex-

The Wimberly case is notable. inasmuch
as his appointment at the opening of the
first Mckinley administration brought to

Secretary Gage stood in the way of the

GOVERNOR CRANES MESSAGE.
Recommends CurtniIment of State
Expenses and the Abolition of
Certain Useless Offices
A Public Editor.

BOSTON, Jan. 2.-W. Murray Crane was
Massachusetts for his third term. He read
his message to the Legislature in the
House chamber, and the recommendations
included in IL were in line with Governor
Cranes previous policy OF reducing the
States expenses to the minimum.
Would Abolish OGces.
Governor Crane recommended the abol-
ishment of the board of cattle commits
sioners, the office of inspector OF gas and
gas metres. the Office of fire marshal. the
Office of inspector of fish. the State as
sayer of liquors, and the Office of pension
egent. upon the ground that the duties
can all be attended to by other officials.
A Public Editor.
As another measure of economy Gov
ernor Crane wants all the State offices to
be in the State House instead of in hired
quarters. He recommends the establish
ment of board of editing to blue-pencil
public documents which have become too
voluminous and expensive to publish. He
believes that If Legislation is passed for
the continuation of a new subway it
should be owned and controlled and paid
for by the city of Boston.
Ranking Legislation.
Governor Crane recommends legislation
requiring national and savings banks to
occupy different quarters and have differ
ent officers as a measure against defalea-
tions, home rule for cities and towns, no
more appropriations for new work in the
metropolitan park system until the cities
and towns in the district have begun to
pay up loans advanced, and that Congress
be impressed with the necessity of dredg-
ing Boston Hsrbor.

which II is proposed to place in the re-
serve belongs to railroad company and

If II is placed in forest reserve il will
cease to be taxable and the county will

Day was then brought up. The men were
unit in declaring they would not return
to work unless they received full pay for
Christmas Day. After the payrolls for the
last half of December had been made up.
Captain Sewell found on investigation
that it would be possible to pay the men
for Christmas Day without having his ac-
count held up.
Captain Sewell Immediately informed
the committee of his decision to allow
the men for Christmas Day, and that they
would receive it the next pay day. Later
it was determined to make out second
pay roll at once, as only the bricklayers
employed on the building were the ones
concerned. The second payroll will in all
probability be ready for the bricklayers
to sign some time this morning.

Statement Given Ont.
The creditors committee and the syndi-
cate officials today gave out the following
statement:
1T became apparent some time ago to
some of the members of The Everett
Moore syndicate, so called, that on ac-
count of the tight money situation, al
though in their opinion they owned sew
eral million dollars worth of property
over and above their liabilities, they
would be unable, without temporary as
sistance, to meet their obligations. Many
of these obligations arise from the fact
that the syndicate was engaged IN the
construction of a number of enterprises
which were not yet fully completed.
1.-The Reserve Construction Company
has large liabilities. and practically no
assets. The syndicate was also recently
disappointed in being unable to complete
the negotiations for the raising OF
large sum OF money
Eighteen Months Agreement.
''At the meeting held at which Messrs.
Everett and Moore were present more
than five -sixths of ali the Cleveland in
debtedness was represented. The parties
attending the meeting expressed them
selves unanimously in recommending to
their institutions that they should ex-
tend the Indebtedness of the Everett
Moore syndicate and its allied interests
for a period of not exceeding eighteen
months, conditioned upon the committee
named having entire charge of all the
affairs connected with the syndicate and
the various interests"
The best posted financial men in the
city say that under the management of
the committee the affairs of the syndi-
cate will come out all right, and that
the syndicate members will remain rich
men.

appropriation for the absolutely necessary
current expenses OF the District from the
House Committee, and their efforts to Sc
cure the money for the extraordinary ex-
penditures will be made IN the Senate.
The fact that Senator Mcmillan will &c

tions in place OF the late Senator Sewell
will be of great benefit to the District, as
he fully understands and appreciates its
needs.
Revision of Estimates Complete.
The Commissioners have practically
completed their revision of their esti-
mates under the request of the sub-com
mittee of the House Appropriations Com
mittee that they would Indicate the
changes that should be made to bring
them within the estimate of revenue made
by the Secretary of, the, Treasury.
As the Commissioners will submit some
OF their suggestions tosthe committee in
the alternative, they could not themselves
give at this time a. final statement Of the
proposed reductions, even if 1t were
proper to do SO in advance of the presen-
tatiOn Of the matter to the sub commit
tee. But 1t is well understood that the
Commissioners in their revision of the es-
Inmates have adhered to their policy of
segregating extraordinary projects OF i'm
provement, calling, for extraordinary ex
penditures and requiring years for COM
pletion, from the current needs of the DIFF
ferent departments of the District gov
ernment. ~
Provision for big Projects.
The Commissioners hold that special
provision should be made for the extraor
dinary projects by Some general scheme of
legislation such as they expect to see pro-
vided by Congress as the result Of confer
ences between the Commissioners and the
Senators and Representatives especially
charged with the responsibility for Dis
trict legislation. In suggesting reductions
in the estimates for the different depart
ments of the District government the
Commissioners will be guided by the rec
concentrations of the heads of those de-
psrtments.
The Commissioners will present the
matter at the meeting of the sub-commit
tee on next Tuesday morning.

Prince Ching says he is unable to deny
that Prince Tuan and General Tung Flu
Hsiang, the notorious anti-foreigners,
are in the region of Ninghsia and Pinglo
where missionary was murdered few
days ago, and foreign property destroyed.
This district, in the province of Kansu,
has large Mohammedan population, and
rebellion is liable to break out at
any time.
The Court Troubled.
Many Chinese are anxious that Prince
Tuan and General Tung Flu Hsiang should
be separated. The Court is worried over
the murder of the missionary, May, at
Pinglo, and is seeking to forestall for
eign criticism. Three edicts on the sub
ject have already been issued.
