HALF-EOLIDAY PAY.
Navy Yard Employees Anx1ously
Awaiting Controllers Opinion.

The question of the Saturday nan
day at the Washington navy yard Is sui
undecided The matter is in the hanos Oh
the controller of the treasury, VINO stated
today that no decision had yet peen
reached. In the meantime the employees
OF the great government gun-maKing
plant are ION pins and needles, as one
of them expressed it today.
The rolls for the next pay day are pc
ing prepared, and the machinists and oth-
ers are anxious to know If they Will re-
ceive pay for the Saturday half-hohdays
they have taken since last pay day.
An official of the navy yard stated to
Star reporter today that it Is pronaole
the men will be paid for the haI1-noiloays
on the next pay day, provided an ADVERSE
opinion is not rendered In the meantime
by the controller of the treasury should

would, he said be necessary to deduct
the amounts SO paid from later salary
payments to the workmen: Otherwise the
rolls would not be received by the treas
ury authorities.
In view Of the fact that the per diem
employees at the government printing Of
fee are given the Saturday ihalf-holiday
1t is believed the same privilege will be
extended to those at the navy yard. AS
to the question Of permanency which mas
ARISEN III tHiS coHnectlOH, lip navy -.
officials state that the employees In the
gun making establishments there are
more permanent than the per diem work
ers in the government, printery. The
permanency OF the latter, it Is SAID. Is
dependent in a great measure on the ses-
sions of Congress, which decrease or In
crease the work of the Office.
The navy yard employees, on the con-
trary. are steadily engagedSyear In and
year out. az III
There Is no analogy II is claimed, be-
tween the bricklayerso and others en-
pIoyed at Washington barracks and the
machinists and helpers q tie navy yard.
The former. 1t is stated, are only en-
pioyed by the job. That is, they will be
discharged when the war college and en-
gineer buildings are completed.
II developed today that there Is another
force OF navy yard employees who are
awaiting decision by the Navy Depart
ment ana the controller of the treasury
as TO tneir status in the Saturday half
holiday matter This new element In the
controversy comprises the per diem
clerks in the several OFFICES at the gun
ioundry. In anticipation of the half-hoii-
day being granted at the end Of the week
during the heated term these clerical en-
ployes about eight months ago submitted
20 the ADDITION of a half hour each day to
their hours OF labor, making their work
oay end at 80 o'clock instead of 4. as 1t
mad peen IT was calculated that the
extra nalr hour they have worked daily
since January would compensate for the
saturday half-holiday. The clerks say
they nave earned the half holiday and in
all FAIRNESS should have IT. A decision in
tneir case 10 expected soon.

PRACTICE ABOLISHED.
Division of Salaries for Untitled Posi-
tons at Hospital Disapproved.

The controller of the treasury has in
formed the District Commissioners that
the acting secretary of the interior has
ordered the discontnuance of the positions
of assistant clerk and second assistant
surgeon at the Freedmens Hospital, and
that the pay for these positions will be
discontinued. This action of the head of
the Department of the Interior confirms
the opinion of the District authorities i'm
the premises. For three years past, it is
said, there have been no incumbents of
the positions referred to and the salaries
have been divided up among other en-
ployes. The District officials held that
there was no authority for the division
of salaries If there were no persons en-
ployed In the positions, and the matter
was passed up to the controller for his
decision.
Controller Tracewell notified the Com
missoners yesterday that the acting sec
rotary of the interior had revoked approval
to the division of the salaries. and Com
missioner Macfarland communicated the i'll
telligence to Auditor Garrison, who will re-
turn the pay rolls of the hospital to that
institution that the proper deductions
may be made for the month of August.

MARINES FIGHTING YELL.
Squad INDUCES While Practicing
''Landing PARTY Drills.n

The fighting yell OF the American marines
was heard In all it's f1erceness and intensity
today within the confines of the Washing
ton navy yard. These shouts Of a detach-
ment of whitehead marines attracted quite
a crowd of spectators, who lined the broad
walks and watched the evolutions of the
fighters The marines were being drilled in
firing, charging, thanking and skirmish tao
ties, such as they would employ when en-
gagged a landing party In skirmsh or
battle with a foreign foe.
Each time the men In white fixed bayo-
nets" and at the command, Charger
sprang forward to grapple with an mag
mary foe on the navy yard greensward,
they uttered in chorus that battle yell for
which Uncle Sans fighters have become
famous, and which is said to have sent cold
shivers through the marroWs of the In
trenched Spaniards at Santiago.
These landing party drills will, 1t is said,
take place every day for week or so, ex-
cept Sundays.

LODGE A COMPLAINT.
Citizens Of Columbia Heights Object to
Pianist's Efforts.

Residents Of Yale street have complained
to the Commissioners of one of their neigh
bors' continuous loud piano playing. The
petition is signed by fifteen residents and
Is accompanied by letter from the firm of
real estate agents having charge of the
rentals of three Of the houses. The petit
TONERS are some of the best known resi-
dents of Columbia Heights.
In the letter from the real estate agents
the Commissioners are informed that the
nuisance complained of Is real and not i'm
agirary and that one tenant of their houses
has already moved and two more have
threatened to move If the piano play
ing is not stopped.
The petition was referred to the police
department and Lieutenant Elliott Of the
tenth precinct made an investigation. The
lieutenant says there is no doubt about the
piano playing during the time complained
of, but that there is no law that can reach
him, as far as the police know
Major Sylvester suggests that the only
relief the residents of the neighborhood
can get Is by going to the grand Jury. in
case the annoyance continues.

PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS.
Field Meet for Athletic Contests to b
Held September 10.

circular recently issued regarding the
public Fairgrounds states that these
grounds are intended as a place where
boys and girls can go to spend their leisure
time and be of the street. Suitable ap-
paratus is provided which enables them to
engage in many different kinds of exercise,
all of which tend to better physical devel-
opment and mental and moral improve
ment.
The boys of the different Fairgrounds
have been formed into an athletic union.
There are about twenty base ball teams of
boys varying in age between nine and six
have been offered, and the teams strive
earnestly to win the championship for their
playground and team.
About September 10 a field meet similar
to the famous Grecian contests. but modi-
fed to suit conditions will be held The
victorious athlete will receive a silver
medal as badge OF honor and a souvenir
Of his early physical prowess. This event
is intended as a rounding OF event in the
seasons work.
The exercises on the rings, the bars, the
trapeze. the swings, the chute and the
giant stride. all attractive to children,
large and small. require vigorous muscular
effort. The result Is that small weak chill
first were utterly impossible for them Mus
cular coordination, SO lacking in the boy
and girl of the playground age, is acquired
rapidly and to surprising degree. and the
value of this muscular coordination can
not be overestimated. 1t makes the differ
ence between the awkward boy, who has
no control over himself, and the active
boy. who has complete control Of his body.
Courage and confidence are also quickly
attained. The boy who was first cowardly
and afraid even to try to do anything soon
loses his difidence and is as self-confident
as his fellows. He becomes boy among
other boys and has learned valuable les
son that serves him well in later man.
hood.
Provision has been made on the play
grounds for games of all kinds Both girls
and boys are taught basket ball and en-
couraged to participate in the sport, and
little announcement is necessary, as mere
are many ready to play when the heat of
the day Is past. Any one passing the
grounds at any time of day can see a
game of some kind In progress-while the
sun is shining hot quiet game Of quoits;
later. more vigorous and active games,
such az foot racing. ball games, etc.
