Charges Against Division of the
Geological SURVEY.

Charges of graft and maIadminstration
in office in the engraving division of the
geological survey have been filed with the
order a sweeping investigation. Such is the
information obtained today at the head
quarters of the American Federation of
Labor, although 1t Is not indicated that the
federation is behind the charges either di-
rectly or indirectly.
The specific charges are that aliens are
employed In the bureau in violation of the
Presidents orders and that employees there
have been doing private work in which
they use government materials.
The charges are said to be the outcome of
survey and the American Society of Plate
Engravers They refer particularly to S. j.
Kubel, who is at the head of the engraving
division of the survey.
The engravers' society through Samuel
Gompers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor on various occasions has
presented complaints to the President. al
legng unfairness in the management OF the
engraving division.
1t was charged that Kubel had secured
a modification of the civil service rules per-
hitting him to employ aliens by alleging
there were not enough American engravers
ers held that If. the government paid as
much for work as this class of labor re-
ceived from private concerns 1t could get
enough men.
Officials of the survey assert that these
charges have been investigated. but the
labor men are not satisfied and want the
President to order an inquiry.

VIOLATION OF LAW.
Merchant Pays Fine for Using 1rregu-
lar Weighing Scale.

Because his scale indicated prices and not
weights of goods sold. William Lawman. a
grocer, at 1876 F street northeast, was ad-
judged guilty on two counts in the Police
Court this morning of having violated the
weights and measures regulations, and he
was fined So on each specification.
The case was carried into court by AS
sistant Sealer of Weights and Measures
George A. Howe, who, in the course of his
Inspection of scales, walked into Mr. Law
mans store a day two ago and found
that the grocer had a computing scale on
his counter and, while the front of the
scale was unchanged in any way. the back
of the barrel it is alleged, had been part
ly covered with sealing wax. With this OBJ
securing the figures 1t was impossible to see
the weight of any article sold. Technically
Mr.. Lawman and his clerks sold not by
weight but exclusively by the prices indi-
Gated on the face of the computing scale.
Inspector Howe ordered the sealing wax
removed, but the grocer failed to obey,
claiming that, as long the scale weighed
correctly, 1t was his privilege to do as he
saw fit
The inspector thereupon condemned the
scale and waited until he saw Mr.. Lawman
cut off and sell a piece of meat according
to the price indicated on the scale 1t was
upon this sale that the prosecution was
based
ONeal in whose court the case was tried
this morning, and after Mr.. Lawman was
declared to be guilty and was fined, the
Judge ordered that the sealing wax be re-
moved from the scale before 1t was taken
away from the court room.

Not Afflicted With Smallpox.

Jerry Donovan and Thomas Washing ton,
the two prisoners from the District jail who
were taken to the quarantine station on
Saturday because 1t was feared they were
developing smallpox, were returned to the
jail today. AT the time of their transfer
on Saturday both men had temperatures
above the normal, but 1t has since been
demonstrated to the satisfaction OF the
health department inspectors that the fever
IN neither case was a forerunner OF the
more serious disease.
The period of greatest danger OF further
outbreak of smallpox at the jail is now at
hand-that is, IL has been nine days since
the second discovery of smallpox In the in
stitutfon-and all the prisoners will be sub
Jected to particularly careful scrutiny for
possible symptoms. After Friday of this
week, which will be the twelfth day, both
the health authorities and the Jail officials
will begin to breathe more easily A week
from today, If no other new cases OF small
pox develop in the meantime, the uuaran-
tine over the jail Will be raised.

MANY employees AFFECTED.
New Policy as to Promotions in the
Navy Department.

Very many employees of the Navy De-
partment In this city and in the various
navy yards will be affected by the adoption
of new policy by the department respect
ing promotions, where the Increases of sal
airy have heretofore been paid out of the
lump appropriation for increase of the
navy. 1t has been decided that hereafter
expenditures on this account shall not be
increased, and consequently, If employees are
to be promoted that can be effected only
by readjustment of the salaries. which
would involve corresponding reductions in
the case of employees whose records for eff
ficency are not of the best. In other
words, the best employees are to be pro-
NOTED at the expense of the less efficient.
Naval draughtsmen are particularly affect
ed by the adoption of this new policy and
by the fact that, owing to the STANDARDIZED
ton of ship construction, there is less need
for draughtsmen of the highest skill capa-
BILE of original work.

ROOKEFELLER'S SECRET
OIL MAN TELLS REPORTER OF
HIS LIFE.
Looks for Time When Public Will
Learn Truth About Him
Patience and Courage.

"A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, last
night says: John D. Rockefeller today ad-
mitted newspaper reporter to his Forest
Hill house and submitted to an interview.
Indirectly he said that all who looked for
the truth concerning him would find 1t some
day.
IAN things come around in time" he said
on this subject. Time works wonders. In
regard to what is called my seclusion. 1t
has been imperative that 1 deny myself the
associations with people that 1 naturally
enjoyed. Nevertheless, have been much
with people-in fact almost every day
groups Of friends come to see me, and it
Is bright spot in the lives of all of us,
we drive walk about the grounds. l
have never been a club man, and have not
frequented places where people generally go
for company. My friends during hours of
recreation are, many of them, from my
home church. 1t takes infinite patience and
courage to compel me to have confidence
in my fellow-bengs
How he Got Along.
II believe / have both of these qualities,
and 1 also believe that they are the secrets
of my success. I learned to cultivate both
of them when 1 was sixteen years of age.
My first real test was when / was making
out bills of lading for canal and lake boats
here in Cleveland. There was much to try
the patience there, and the first opportunity
in my life to take the wrong course. to re-
pei rather than compel confidence from my
associates and employers.
"Often a captain would want me to put
down the wrong figure. He would assure
me that 1t would never be known: that it
was the customary way of doing things,
and that 1t was the right thing for me to
do. l reasoned with him: If this and this
10 {. rt~
Il insisted upon what thought was right,
but had patience with all who opposed me.
Soon my employers noticed my methods of
doing business; other employers knew that
l wanted to do the right thing; bankers
then came to have confidence in me, and
then success followed step by STEP
What are the young mans chances to-
day?' was asked.
Far better today in Cleveland than when
l was boy here. In those days this was
small city, and the industries that flour
1sh here today were not heard of then.
There were very limited opportunities for
the young man who wanted to make sub
stantial figure in life. But soon Mr. CHS
holm began to develop the iron and steel
industry here, went into the Oil bust
ness; others branched out along different
lines-all were successful, and today every
young man of Cleveland derives great bene-
fit from those early enterprises.
The city grew up around them and it
seems to be only a matter of choice with
the young man himself today; the city is
full of opportunities

TIED UP AND ROBBED.
Plight in Which Police Officers Found
Samuel Wilson.

Attracted by cries of police murder
and help" Detectives Muller and Bur-
roughs rushed from police headquarters last
night to the rear of the building, to find
there a man under the influence of liquor
and tied to a telegraph pole. After he was
released and taken to police headquarters
he told the police that he had INDUCED
freely during the evening and that as he
was going home he was tied to the tele-
graph pole and robbed of SIS. Upon investi-
cation 1t was learned that Samuel Wilson.
as he gave his name, had been drinking
him to the pole. The police will take no
further action, unless Wilson gets out a
warrant for the men.

Printers on Strike.

A dispatch from Richmond. Va, last
night says: Because of the refusal of the
Richmond Typothetae, composed Of en-
ploylng printers, to grant an eight-hour
day after January 1 next, ninety-eight
union printers struck this afternoon. This
morning the union addressed letter to the
typothetae and requested an answer not
later than O'Clock. The employers met
and decided to refuse the demand and at
the hour indicated the men walked out.
They say they are well supplied with funds,
having been preparing for this emergency
for months. and that the fight will be a
stubborn one. The newspapers are not in
volved in IL.
The printers would have waited until
later to inaugurate their strike but for
fear that they might find the employers bet
ter prepared TO meet them.
