ROOSEVELT DESIRES
 IMPROVED METHODS
Scontinued from First Page,

(Continued from First Page.) ~E These people really care nothing for the case, but only for the documents in the case. In all branches of the government there is tendency great ly to increase unnecessary and largely perfunctory letter writing. In the army and navy the increase of paper work is a serious menace to the efficiency of of ficers, who are often required by bu- reaucrats to spend the time in making reports which they should spend in in- creasing the efficiency. of the battle ships or regiments under them. As re- gards this matter, you will please con- fer with the assistant secretaries of the war and navy departments and request them to submit to me a scheme for do- ing away with the evils referred to. In < the civil departments the abuse of let ter writing amounts not merely to the waste of time of the government re- sp0nsible for it, but also to the imped- ing of public business.
 Please consider also the matter of enforcing accountability for property"

 Tn connection with the prospective work of the committee, Secretary Shaw to-day announced two quite radical changes in methods of making dis bursements. Disbursing officers are re- Quired to make acquisitions for the amount of money needed to cover semi monthly payments. In practice they nearly always ask an amount some- what in excess, but the secretary has directed the treasurer hereafter to re- quire the payrolls to be presented and to refuse the payment whenever the check calls for an amount in excess of the payroll. s#
 He has also ordered all salary pay merits in the treasury department and the department of commerce and la bor, except in a few stated cases, to be made by disbursing officers checks in- stead of cash.
 These two changes, involving other departments, are understood to be ten- tative and are made at this time to en- able the committee to observe the ex- perinents. Considerable opposition is anticipated, especially as it is likely to delay the seni-monthly payments for day or two.

WOMAN IN RIIsINEss.

f [
 Quiet dignity and reserve are char acteristics that the earnest woman worker will do well to cultivate. They can usually be counted upon to in spire respectful treatment and the maximum salary. The man who watches you silently knows your value, and your very reticence and reserve may lay the foundation of a warmer feeling for you.
 There is no longer any question as to womar's capacity for business; the |only question is of endurance There is fascination about earning and spending ones own money, Women save more than formerly. The man ager of the Woman's department of one of the trust companies told me that the gain in her department for the year 1864 was 4,0o0 accounts, and a bank account is the rule rather than. the exception with working women. This means that the next generation of working women will be better in formed on finance, less inprovident, more valuable and command better wages.
 . The difference between men and women in business will adjust itself. A man begins life with the fixed idea that upon his success in business de pends all other good gifts. It is. a ladder which he must climb to reach all that is most desirable in life A woman rarely achieves success until after she has turned down a tear stained page whereon is recoderd her happiest hours. If she enters upon a business career before, tie chances are 10 to 1 that she will relfnauish it without shadow of regret to take

brought into the city or found ready to
help him when he arrived.
Independent teamsters tried, for the
first time, to avoid the use of firearms
when the days work began, but soon
found that with the big hickory pick
handles, with which their employers
had provided them, they were unable
to withstand the attacks made by the
mobs, with threw missiles of all kinds.
Their appeal for permission to carry
revolvers having been denied by the
chief Of police, they procured revol-
vers anyway and made ready to shoot.
1t required little provocation to aus
the colored men to use their revolvers
and magazine pistols, and soon there
was shooting in nearly every part Of

men, with all the power conferred by

armed, accompany other strike break

well as to protect the wagons Of other

gan taking aggressive action. Hun

DOZENS DIE IN WARSAW.
Many Also Wounded In Clashes Be-
tween Troops and workmen.

Thirty-one persons were killed and
many were wounded in a conflict at War
saw, Russian Poland, between troops and
workmen at ZelaZna and Jeroschinska
streets. A procession of workmen carry
ing red flags was stopped by cavalry and
infantry. The cavalry charged and the
infantry fired a volley. Fifteen Of the
wounded were removed to the hospital,
but many others were taken to their
homes. Another collision between sol
diers and workmen is reported to have
taken place at tho corner Of Zlote and
Sosnowa streets. A military patrol fired
on a crowd and killed or wounded twenty
persons.
According to the custom in Russia
Easter Sunday and the days Immediately
succeeding are given up TO f~easting and
rejoicing. The use of liquor is freely In
dulged in, especially among the lower
classes, and drunkenness is common ev-
erywhere. Agitators and anarchists take
advantage Of this condition Of affairs to
inflame the minds of the people, to in
cite disorder and to cause uprisings. Even
in ordinary times the police and military
have difficulty In maintaining the peace.
On account of the intense feeling arous-
ed by the massacres attendant upon the
strikes in st. Petersburg, Moscow, War
saw and the other industrial centers in
Russia In January last and the sending of
conscripts to the wal in the far East
the Easter holidays this year were looked
forward to with great apprehension by
the authorities and extensive prepara-
tions made to quell disturbances. Ac-
cording 70 the Russian calendar Easter
Sunday fell on April 80 this year.
Easter Sunday in Russia brought a re-
script from the Emperor of far greater
importance than the absence Of disorder,
a rescript granting religious freedom
throughout the empire. The ukase will
benefit 30,000,000 believers in the old
faith, 100000 non-conformists. and

Earthquakes are of frequent occur
renee in India, a half a dozen serious
ones occurring since the English oc-
cupation. In 1912 northern India was
shaken by a terrible CONFUSION, and
In 1897 Assam and Lower Bengal were
similarly visited. The recent earth
quakes are probably the most fatal in
the history Of India, though they fall
far short Of some Of the great seismic
disasters in other lands. Thus the
earthquakes ut Lisbon, Portugal, In
1855, are credited with having de-
stroyed 10000 persons, while the dis
turbances in Calabria. Italy, in 1873,
wiped out 10000 lives. 1t is estimated
that as many as 13,000,000 human
beings have been swept Off the face Of
the earth by this awful visitation.

ly every downtown Chicago street into
a battlefield Tuesday. resulting in four
men being shot down and nearly forty
others being more or less severely In
jured. 1t was the first day of actual
terror since the teamsters' strike he
gan, and it spread so rapidly and wirh
such spontaneity that before noon the
police had been overwhelmed in their
efforts to prevent the hundreds OF in
dependent drivers imported into the
city from being beaten or TO prevent
the independent workers, frightened
out OF their wits by mob attacks, from
drawing revolvers and magazine pis-
tolls and shooting at their tormenterS.
The most furious clashes came at
Harrison street and Wabash avenue,
Congress street and Wabash avenue,
West Jackson boulevard and Ualsted
street and Market and Madison streets.
In each of these encounters many
shots were fred and three or four men
were shot so severely that the recov
cry of one is considered impossible.
Not since the great railroad strike Of
1894 have the police had such furious
struggles to preserve Order-and the
police could not prevent clashes be-
tween the union and Independent toll
ers because of the widely scattered
points at which the belligerents met.
There was not a conflict in which one
or more heads were not broken or
bruised, and in nearly every instance
there was more or less shooting OF dis
play Of firearms.
