The Women of Moro.


From EverybOdys Magazine.
The women's dress in Bongoa shows great
variety of color. but, because of their black
hued teeth. which are often filed to an arch
in front, they are. as a rule. not charming
to look upon. Their hair Is fringed over the
forehead and temples. while at the back 1t
is drawn into knot. from which one end
invariably straggles. giving q most untidy
effect. The wealthier women wear their
finger nails very long. in some instances al
most as long as the finger itself. and some
times the nail is protected with an artificial
shield of silver. All have their ears pierced.
and many of them wear round bone or
stick resembling a cigarette In shape and
size thrust through the aperture.

Chief of Staff to Admiral Barker.

Secretary Moody has assigned Captain
John E. Pillsbury to duty as chief of staff
of Rear Admiral Barker. commanding the
North Atlantic fleet. The duties of this
office have been performed heretofore by
the officer in command Of the fleet flag
ship. but the unusual size of the North At
lantic fleet and the increased Importance Of
its work are thought to justify the assign
ment of an officer who can devote his en-
tire time to staff service without being
hampered by the duties of the commander
of a vessel Captain Pillsbury is now on
duty at the department as member Of
the general naval board.

MI. Mckenzie Not Eligible.

Then came the announcement that Mr..
Mckenzie could not serve as auditor be-
cause of his connection in the past with an
asphalt block and tile company which had
j,een contracting with the District. This
put temporary stop to affairs, and the
Commissioners began consideration of
the case all over again.
1t was not long before the announcement
was current that the new auditor was to
come from outside the District service. This
seemed to make it impossible that Mr..
Petty could longer continue District
officer. there are no vacancies in any of
the important places that would be accept
able to him or his friends, who are zeal
UuSiy watching his interests
The general understanding has been that
Mr.. Petty would resign.
This morning Commissioner West an Mr.
Petty were in conversation. when the ques-
tIon OF the auditors resignation was
hrnached in Il round about way Mr.. West
said he supposed Mr.. Petty would not be
willing to resign.
No sir | will not Mr. Petty is alleged
Ia have replied.
The auditor declared that If he were to
resign Ii would be an admission on his part
OF negligence or wrongdoing, and this he
was not willing to admit Mr. Petty de-
clared he had been guilty of nothing
wrong and he would not put himself in the
place of admitting such a thing by resign
InG his position.
In spite of Commissioner Vests negative
inquiry as To supposing Mr.. Petty would not
ltsign, ii is known that the District officials
have hoped Mr.. Petty would voluntarily
Nnt the office and thus simplify matters
Now that the auditor has placed himself
ON record the matter takes IA new phase
and Will require further careful considera-
tion.
Petition for Mr.. Petty's Retention.
1t is stated that a strong petition is being
circulated and freely signed by the infiuen-
tidl business men of the District asking the
retention of Mr.. Petty in office. Prominent
members of the board of trade are said to
be interested in the petition and it is likely
10 he strong document.
There has been some criticism on the part
oi the people of the apparent single h nded-
ness with which the authorship matter has
been handled at the District building, all
H." news being given as coming from Com
missioner Henry l.. West. The explanation
T. that MIR. West is the Commissioner in
cialg" of the auditor office and the mat
Ter comes Immediately under his super
Vision.
tn" Commissioners divide the SUPERVISION
Of TN" various departments at certain times
a. an Office practice of better adminstra-
t!pu.
Mir. West is taking the in ti,,t.ve in all
matters pertaining To the auditurial office
and apparently the other Commissioners
n!e only being consulted occasionally.
