Statement by Mr.. Braddock.
In reference to the statement made In
the court proceedings yesterday that Mr.
A. A. Braddock Of Rockville, Md, had APP
piled to the typothetae of Washington for
employment Mr.. Braddock said today:
This is not fact and 1 regard the
statement as in the nature of reflection
upon me. The typothetae applied to me to
work for them. and. as one of the induce
meffts offered stated in their letter that
there was absolutely no risk to be run
In engaging to work with them that there
had been no trouble of any kind with the
union printers. and that everything was
absolutely lovely. I suppose they gave me
this assurance upon the theory that
might be afraid of the members of an or
ganization of which I have been a member
for nearly thirty, years, and whom know
to be as peaceabie. orderly and respectable
on the whole. as the members of any other
craft in existence"

TO EQUALIZE SALARIES
ACT OF JUSTICE TO DEPARTMENT
cIRRks PROPOSED.


The House appropriations committee will
probably wrestie until late this afternoon
with that tentative provision In the legtsla-
tive, executive and judicial appropriation
bill which places 4 gradua ted limitation
upon the salaries OF snperannuated clerks
who have reached the ages of sixty-fve.
sixty-eight and seventy years. Although
the provision will undoubtedly be included
In the bill In substantially the form out
lined in yesterdays Star. there appeared to
be a disposition on the part of members OF
the committee to thresh things out this aft
ernoon and get a full understanding of the
subject.
Equalization Of Salaries.
ut was also learned today that another
provision OF great interest is designed to
equalize the salaries paid clerks in the
executive departments and In the Capitol
building itself. This provision in effect will
make it impossible for clerks doing pre-
cisely the same kind of work in substan-
tally the same efficient manner to be paid
different amounts. The committee now
has learned in the course of its inquiry
that there are dozens and even hundreds
of cases where clerks receiving 81. 200 sit
side by side with clerks receiving s1eo0 or
81 500 and do precisely the same work The
with this proposition and reduce the whole
proposition to an equitable basis of COM
pensation.
Another provision OF greatest possible In
terest and Importance Is intended to pre-
vent the heads of executive departments
or their subordinates from diverting con-
gressiona1 appropriations from their ortgl-
nal purpose. Developments of the past few
months and testimony before the appro-
Iriatfons committee have revealed that
there has been great deal of this sort or
lining common in the executive departments
Diverting Appropriations.
If Congress appropriated certain sum
OF money for specific thing it has been
not uncommon for the money to be used
for something else. in the discretion of the
head OF an executive department. 1t Is
the firm intention of members OF the ap-
preparation committee to stop this sort Jr
thing, and they think that they have draft
ed provision that will do it.
Being strictly in the nature of a limita-
ton upon an appropriation the new para
graph will not be susceptible to a point
OF order. and judging from the almost unan-
fmous sentiment of members of the House
1t will be found in the bill when It Is finally
passed.
The legislative bill will be reported to the
House tomorrow and will be taken up next
week. 1t Is expected that its consideration
viii extend over at least ten days. and that
good many scraps will take place on the
iloor over one or all of these new provi-
sions which have been mentioned in The
Star.

LOCAL BILLS TAKEN UP
nxAsuRns co1fsIDERED BIZ THE
HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEES.

A favorable report on the bill to Increase
the pay and hasten the promotion of fnerIi-
bers of the metropolitan police force was
authorized by the House committee on the
District of Columbia at Its regular meet.
Ing today. The bill as reported, is practi-
cally the measure drafted by the district
Commissioners with several amendments.
The most important OF these provides that
the increase of pay to the members Of the
police force shall date from July /. 1903. In
the Commissioners bill the first increase
was not to take effect for three years. and
in the draft of the bill prepared by the
subcommittee the date at which the in-
crease should go into effect was fixed at
July 1, 1907. The full COMMITTEES at its
session today unanimously agreed that the
increase should go into effect as soon as
possible. One other change made by the
full committee provides that the District
Commissioners shall not be required, IN
their review of the sentences imposed by
the police trial board, to take evidence
either oral, written or documentary, and
shall have the power to reduce and modify
any sentence of the trial board, but not
to increase any penalties imposed. Those
are the principal changes In the measure
and they have the Endorsement of the Com
missioners well as the support of the
police personnel A fight on the measure
on the floor of the House Is expected.

smart one and shows one of the new
pony coats that extend just owe the
hips and which can be made either
with long or three-quarter sleeves,
while the skirt is cut in twenty-one
cores and laid in backward turning
plaits that give a Killed effect. Broad
cloth, serge, cheviot, homespun and all
the mannish suitings are quite al ap-
propriate as the novelty illustrated, the
model being appropriate both for the
useful suit and for the more dressy one

Fall Color Combinations.

A new early fall combination is a
silk skirt with cloth jacket, reversing
the order of the spring. A gray silk
with black line in it is topped off with
a short loose jacket Of gray cloth. In
this is a vest of gray suede, and the
whole is trimmed with silver buttons.
Just a touch of the gray silk is added
to the sleeves.
OF cuffs and collars to tailor coats
there is much to say. Some little odd
effect is worked into nearly every
velvet collar. The velvet often is laid
on, in the shape of a strap with oval
ends. A large fancy button is set on
the end both of the cuff and collar, and
sometimes a cloth piece in. the same
shape appears under it. This is d IA
vorite device just now, and another is
a little shaped piece of broadcloth set
in the. edge of the collar to lie out on
the, shoulders AN inch or two IN a pIait-
ed frill. 1t IS pressed fiat, SO that in
spite Of the seeming unftness 1t really
lies as smooth as the best fitting collar.

there may be some reason to doubt
some of the stories. most of them CON
trary to popular belief, hat are being
printed about him. Yet it GEMS to be
true that he keenly feels the lack of
confidence in him. and it is said that
he is almost heartbroken at some of
the stories that have heretofore found
their way into print. Recently he has
been taking a keener interest in the
ordinary things Of life, and besides be-
coming an honorary member OF the
