Office. which will be made after the return
Of Commissioner West, who has super
vision of the Office, the property clerk is
carrying out oral instructions from ths
Commissioners to get competitive bids
wherever 1t is practicable upon all articles
not included in the contracts. At this time
of the year, when the acquisitions are more
numerous than at any other time because
the fiscal year begins July 1 and the new
appropriations are available, this has taxed
the property clerks office, which is short
handed, and has compelled the clerks to
work overtime. To relieve the pressure
somewhat and at the same time improve
the methods of making acquisitions and Of
receiving supplies and accounting for prop
erty, Commissioner Macfariand, Temporal
lily in charge Of the property clerks Office
for the Commissioners, has Issued men,
orandum to all the departments dealing
with the property clerk and which are ali
for the time being under his supervision
Memorandum Of Instructions. ;
The essential features of this memoran-
dunn may be embodied later in q permanent
order that win be adopted by tho Commits
sioners. The memorandum follows:
Each head of a department which OBJ

will please delegate one of his force to make
a CODY Of the lists of contract prices, upon
blank forms of proposals to be obtained of
the property clerk. for the use OF said de-
partment in making acquisitions.
Requisitions in typewriting, should be
made In two classes (besides the usual
classification Of items of a kind upon one
requiSition). One class should be of con-
tract acquisitions, the prices and descrip-
tons being set forth as on the contract
lists. The other should be of non-contract
acquisitions; in the case of supplies for
which there Is no contract, memoranda
should be furnished the property clerk,
with request for prices on said supplies,
which are TO be made the basis for requisi-
tons. Copies Of all acquisitions should be
kept in due order.
1T is suggested that each head of de-
partment appoint one of his force to make
out acquisitions, be responsible to the head
of the department for the correct receipt Of
the supplies ordered. keep account of needs
for the future, immediate and otherwise SO
that there may be as few emergency reaui-
sitions as possible. That due time may be
afforded in which to fill orders requisitions
should be sent in well in advance OF imme-
date needs, bearing in mind the amount of
appropriation remaining.
THE requisition clerk should be required
to notify his chief of any supposed waste in
the use of supplies and suggest any meas
ures of economy that may seem best; and
he should see that the property clerk is duly
noticed regarding property in the depart
ment that Is no longer useful

Order as to Clerks in the Navy Depart

Acting Secretary Darling of the Navy
Department has issued an order extend
ing the time of work In his department
from II until O'Clock on Saturdays. This
action was taken in accordance with the
recent ruling of the Department Of Jus

In addition to this order, a statement

OFFERED by ENGLAND

LONDON. August e4.-fhe English Jews
are deeply interested In the announcement
made by DR.. Theodore Herzi, president of
the sixth Zionist congress, at its ops>dng
yesterday at Basel, Switzerland, that Great
Britain, In view of the collapse of the pro-
ject to establish Jews ON the Sinai penia-
sula. had offered the Zionists large tract
of territory In East Africa for colonization
by the Jews, who would be given an au-
tonomous government under British suzer-
ainty.
While some opposition Is expected. they
believe that the congress will accept the
proposition.
Would Not Consider Sinai.
1t Is pointed out that there - a great
difference between the acauisition Of Pales-
tine for the establishment Of Jewish
state. as originally contemplated by the
Zionists and the proposal of the British
government which simply eontemplates the
establishment of a Jewish colony In a sec
ton of the British empire needing develop
ment X
When in London Dr. Herxl called at the
Gals there in regard to the British attitude
with respect to the Sinai peninsula, but
Great Britain was not willing to do moro
than make the proposal announced by DIT.

Views Of Rothschild.
Lord Rothschild said a representative OF
the Associated Press;
Gearing Jewish emigration from the
British isles. the government has offered a
tract Of land In East Africa to Jews emf
grating there. They will have only the
rights and privileges Of British subjects
the same as their brethren enjoy here and
elsewhere in the empire. Thy win be I'M
der British rule. the same as they would be
under American rule Ii they were located
In American territory. In other words they
will simply be colonists. / do not know
whether the proposition will be accepted"
Some Notable Supporters.
AS DR.. Herzl did not disclose the proposal
before its announcement to the congress at
Basel the Jews here are not aware Of its
exact terms but the majority of the Jews
in England are said to oppose its accept
ance. Israel Zangwiu and Sir Francis
Montefiore. WHO are at Basel. will. it is be-
heved, uphold the proposal.
The editor Ola Jewish newspaper said:
In any event. ayrefuge is not desired for
the Jews Of England or America, but for
those OF Russia. Roumania and other Eu-
ropean states, whose condition can only be
improved by emigration
The editor reiterated that the idea of ac-
curing Palestine had not been abandoned
even in view OF the British proposal being
accepted.

CHICAGO WATERS OUT AaAIN.
This Time Only Small Humber Par
ticipated In Strike.

CHICAGO, August A.--Only a small num-
Der Of the walters and cooks employed In
several downtown lunch rooms struck to-
day in the first move of the Walters and
Cooks Union to renew the flght against the
Chicago Restaurant Keepers Association.
Two months ago the union tied up the
establishments controlled by them and the
men were granted q 10 per cent increase Ill
wages.
In a general statement issued by the
COOKS and walters the reason assigned for
the action is alleged discrimination on the
part OF the arbitration board in their de-
cision relating to the question of hours and
wages.
Later in the day committee led by off,
Gals of the Hotel and Restaurant En-
ployes' Alliance left their headquarters
with instructions to call out every res
taurant employee except those in the few
establishments which conceded the strikers
demands Last June. and ten restaurants
and lunch rooms were more or less crippled

These will furnish the preliminary con-
tests Of the convention: as the districts go,
SC will GO the state organization. and the
favorable report on such matters as ere
dentials In contesting counties, platform
and resolutions.
In some of these district meetings some
big fights are scheduled between the John
son and Zimmerman forces.
The two big fights in the districts win be
for the committee on credentials and the
state central committee. The closing
county conventions Saturday added two
counties to the list of contesting delega-
lions. Cuyahoga and Miami.
These, with Hamilton, Seneca, Gallia and
Ross. also in contest, make almost loo
votes involved.
ties the first, second, twentieth and twenty
first districts will be barred from voting in
the COMMITTEES credentials. leaving seven
teen districts to determine the contests in
all the counties
Contested Counties Can't Vote.
Nor will any contested county be allowed
to vote on the report of the committee on
credentials until after Its own delegation
has been seated, If the contests should be
taken up one at a time on the floor Of the
convention. which is probable.
In the district contests the johnson men
claim they will control II of the 81 OF the
II not involved in contests they claim they
will have 8, while the Zimmerman men
claim they will control 10 of the districts.
1t is by no means improbable that neither
the Johnson contest in Hamilton county.
nor the anti-Johnson one In Cuyahoga, will
reach the committee on credentials
Both are likely to be dropped fos neither
seems to have any legs to stand on.
Should they not materialize this would
leave little to be fought over in the COM
mittee on credentials. and the contest for
control of the convention and the nominal
ton for governor would quickly be reduced
to test of real strength with the dele
gates.

Comparatively few delegations are in

instructions, but the Zimmerman men say
they have done the unusual thing this time
of not asking their counties to instruct

While Johnson apparently has the lead,
some say the shrewdest politicians are on

close a contest that tactics will count, the
johnson men are likely to be found fully

The Johnson men claim 500 votes of the
total of $50. while the Zimmerman men
claim 400. Which side is fooled in its cal
culations the ballot will tell.
