PER DIEM EMPLOYEES
PAID FOR ACTUAL WORK

That per diem employees of the Gov
ernment In the Philippine Islands are
not entitled to pay for legal holidays
unless they actually work. was decided
by the Comptroller Of the Treasury to-
day.
The question Of psy for per diem en-
ployes of the Government has been dis
cussed in many ways In the last year
OF 50, one prominent point brought out
being the contention of the navy yard
employees in this city that they should
be paid for half holidays on Saturdays
during The summer months.
However this is the first time the
question of per diem employees in the
Philippines has ever come up for a
definite decision OF Comptroller Trace

telegraphed 10 London yesterday by the
correspondent OF the Reuter- Telegram

England and which counterbalance the

the remark of Admiral Won Spaun. the
Austrian commissioner. who is reported
to have said that Admiral Rogest-
vensky was justified In firing, believing
that his squadron was In danger.

draw UP the commissions report, says
that Admiral Rogestvensky was justi-
fed in 1ring, he believing that his fleet
was In danger, and that under the cir
cumstances he had the right TO act as
he did. These reports are believed here.

Congressmen interested.
It is said some members of Congress
are interested in the subleases which
have been made OF the Usage lands by
the Illuminating oil company. whose
lease is now before the Senate in the
Indian appropriation bill. There are at
.. least 16o of these minor companies. and
IL members OF Congress hold an interest
In them the disclosure will create a more

Statements telegraphed from Kansas
that prominent politicians and Senators

Causes Much Talk.
This phase OF the inquiry is causing g
great deal of talk, especially in view Of
| the fact that IN the land fraud inquiry
one Senator and one Representative and
one former Representative have been
indicted IN Oregon. The leasing of the
Indian lands has been an object OF poHt-
ical spoil for many years. The mining
] concession on the Ufntah reservation
has already disclosed that there were
many politicians In that deal. The same
| thing is said to be true Of the subleases
In Indian Territory.
The list OF the stockholders of the
company which holds the original Usage
| lease does not show that politicians are
| interested in that concern Mr. yree-

the Committee on Indian Affairs It Is
| said that if the lists OF the $50 conpa-
nies operating under the subleases were

ceives one-etghth from the sublessees.
