NAVY DESIRES employees
Persons Qualifying Under the Civil
Service Refuse to Accept
Places ORered.

WASHINGTON. April lin the three
months which ended March 81, 24S persons
either resigned their employment at the
Navy department or in navy yards or re-
fused to accept positions under the Navy
department after being certified by the
Civil Service commission to the secretary
of the navy. The percentage is unusually
large and Secretary Bonaparte is worried
about the lack of desirable new employees
The positions vacant command salaries
ranging from 500 to 81 400 year and the
failure to fill these places is due chiefly
to the provision of the law that a certain
quota Of employees must be taken from each
state. The pay in the Navy department
is lower than in many other departments

today made a favorable report on the bill

Ice and giving him a salary Of 5000 per

made the director OF the geological survey
responsible for the bureau. In view. how
ever, Of the large undertakings now In
progress and which will follow rapidly in
the future, Secretary Hitchcock believes
that the director Of the reclamation service
should be presidential appointment and is
IN favor of the bill. The bill reported today
also provides that in the annual book of
estimates the reclamation service should
stipulate what is to be expended the fol-
lowing year. Congressman Mondell, chair
man of the irrigation committee, said today
that there ought to be no question as to
the passage of the bill, as 1t would facili-

The order Is in part as follows:
Under the conditions of today. after
they have been stated. 1t is essential
that all officers and employees should
be absolutely FREQ to discharge their
duties impartially. Applying this prin
ciplc to tho coal trade as an Illustration
the keen competition of today requires
every officer and employee of the Penn

any interest which he has In the shares
of any coal-producing company. and
also to part with any interest which he
has in or with any firm or individual
mining coal. on any of the lines of the
Pennsylyania railroad system; and
every officer and employee should be
required to refrain from any invest
ments whatsoever which may possibly
prejudice or affect tho interests of the

Utah Congressional Delegation
Given Credit for Work 1t
Did Not Do.
CLAIM CREDIT FOR THE
STRAWBERRY VALLEY PLAN
Reclamation Service Secured the
Site; Citizens of Utah the
Money.

In handing out bouquets TO the Utah
delegation In Congress for services per-
formed In behalf of the State. the Des-
eret News gives a number of credits to
tho delegation for which 1t is IN no wise
entitled.
The appropriation of 81 250.o0o for car
rylng out the Strawberry Valley irri-
CATION project, 1t Is stated. was got by
the delegation. The contrary IS the
fact The reclamation service selected
the site long before Congress met and
the Utah delegation came near losing
the opportunity to secure the money for
this project by letting other delegations
get away with all the money available
for irrigation work. The money was
finally secured by a direct appeal TO
the President by citizens of Utah.
which appeal cured the lack of interest
In the matter on the part of the al
legged Utah statesmen. On account OF
this lack OF interest and the weakness
OF tho Utah delegation at Washington,
Utah has not received nearly the
amount of funds for reclamation work
to which 1t was rightfully entitled.
Due to kearns, Not Smoot.
Great praise as a result OF an Inter-
view with Senator Smoot is also given
to the delegation for having secured
enormous pension allowances for resi-
dants OF the State who are veterans
of the Indian wars and OF the war of
the rebellion, the latter. 1t Is stated, re-
ceiyed more increases and better treat
ment than ever before. The matter of
securing for the war veterans of Utah
the pensions to which they were enti-
tied was begun and we'll nigh completed
by Senator Kearns. This Is a fact we'll
known and appreciated by the veterans
of the State, and the successes In this
direction by the present delegation Is
largely a matter OF imagination.
As to Kalbab Indians.
Great stress Is also laid on an ap-
propriation of the enormous amount OF
$40, 500 for purchasing farm Sor the
Kaibab Indians in southern Utah. This
was accomplished by the regular op-
erattons Of Congress In passing the In
dian supply bill and to obtain 1t there
was required neither tact, influence OF
ability.
