MOODY REFORMS
HIS NAVY CLERKS
Secretary Makes Them Keep Stricter
Hours.

Secretary Moody has been shaking up
the Navy Department. He is hard
worker. usually at his desk before 9
often not until Z. Then he takes bun
die of papers homo with him
He does not expect the clerks in his
department to work so hard as that. but
he does think that they ought to work
from to 4. and not stretch their lunch
time from half an hour TO forty-five min
utes or more.
According to the report circulated in
the department. Mr.. Moody on Saturday
had occasion to visit the Bureau o.
Navigation. The clerks say he arrived
at $50. but the Secretary reported to
Rear Admiral Henry c. Taylor. chief
OF the bureau, that he was unable to
find an officer or clerk on duty to whom
he could communicate his wishes.
It is understood the Secretary has
since begun an investigation, by which
he learned some of the officers on duty
in the department. who are supposed to
give work to the clerks, leave for lunch
con at noon. and do not return until or
2:S0. During this time. it is said, many
Of the clerks have no work.
Mr. Moody asked Rear Admiral Tay-
lor. chief of the Bureau OF Navigation.
to inquire whether the clerks had made
any change in their hours. The chief
clerk reported that the clock was ten
minutes fast and that at 9 o'clock every
man in the bureau was at work.
"A clock that is good enough to quit
by is good enough TO go to work by,
retorted Mr.. Moody.
Mr. Moody found that officers in
charge of bureaus and divisions were in
the habit of getting TO work late or
staying away from the department on
slight pretexts, and that when they
we're not there the subordinates had
nothing to co. Mr. Moody said that he
did not wish to tie the officers to their
desks. as most Of them work after hours
and at night. put that some arrangement
must be made so that the work would
not be interrupted when they reached
the office late or not at all. He ordered
that officers must have some good reason
for not being at work.
Work in every bureau OF the Navy De :
partment now begins exactly at
O'Clock. or a few minutes before. II
does not stop until 4. and Mr.. Moody 8

Minister Ching admits their existence

on a motion for a change of venue for
James H. Tillman. former lieutenant

The afidavits for Tilfman alleged that
citizens of Columbia had frequently
stated that Tillman should be hanged

he could not obtain a fair trial. II was
alleged that women connected with a
prominent family had prayed for TILL
mans conviction and that pastors oil
churches had preached sermons against
him. There were 3s5 afidavits filed by

davits in rebuttal. They are made BY

priests Of the Catholic church. The
ministers deny that they preached ser
mons on the case. The editors and pro-

WORK CURTAILED ON
BIG ELECTRIC LINE
Hitch in the Baltimore and
Washington Scheme.
CANNOT SELL THEIR BONDS
Stringency in the Money Market Leads
to a Temporary Stoppage
of Work.

Because OF the inability of the pro-
moters of the proposed Washington and
Baltimore Electric Railway to float the
entire bond issue, work on some of the
important lines of the system has been
stopped, and the contract with Tally Il
Allen. Washington men. has been can
celed.
Tally & Allen, who have been grading
the lire between the two cities. about
half of the work having already been
completed, stopped all operations on
Saturday evening.
At that time the men who had been
employed on the work were informed
that the stoppage was due TO an in
ability on the part of the syndicate 20
raise all of the money needed at the
present time to continue the operations.
Some Work Continued.
The stoppage, however. it was an
nounced. would be only temporary. Work.
however, is being continued on other
sections IN a quiet way.
An official of the road said today that
the action was due to the stringency Of
the money market. and that the close
down was only In part. as work would
still be continued on the masonry con-
struction and upon the powerhouse at
Hyattsville. He further stated that he
was unaware just what proportion OF the
bond issue Of the syndicate had been
flcated.
Interesting Reports.
There have been a number of rumors
concerning the purposes of the syndi-
cate. One of the most interesting Of
these was that Col. Myron T. Herrick.
now the nominee for governor OF Ohio.
and who was closely Identified with the
negotiations in Baltimore for the sale
OF that city's interests in the Western
Maryland Railroad. was interested in the
electric road project.
This led to the assumption in some
quarters that the real purpose Of the road
to Washington was to secure an entrance
TO this city for the Gould system after
the Wabash reaches Baltimore for it's
tidewater terminal.
This report the officers today denied.
