NEW SYSTEM IN FORCE
EFFICIENCY METHOD AT Gov
EMINENT PRINTING OFFICE.

The new efficiency system went into effect
at the government printing Office today. and
at late hour this afternoon 1t was re-
ported to be working satisfactorily. This
system Is intended to provide for the col
lection and arrangement OF data in such
form and degree Of accuracy that the OFF,
Gals OF the printery whose duty 1t Is to
make estimates on work for the several
government departments can give precise
computation as to what a certain piece OF
work will cost the department from which
it emanates.
Heretofore. the public printer says, the
basis Of estimates has been largely theoret-
icai. or else the calculations nave been
based upon obsolete methods and out-0f-
date systems. BY the present efficiency
system he says It 10 possible to figure ciose-
iy on the cost OF production OF all cfasees
OF work which Is sent to tho government
The data to be collected will be tabulated
in such form that an estimate OF almost
the exact cost Of q job Of printing, great
Or small. can be given quickly. taking into
by hand or me- chine. the cost Of presswork.
binding. etc. The matter OF theory is elm
mated by the introduction OF the system
which went into operation today.
The printers, binders and others at the
government printing Office were somewhat
alarmed today when they heard that the
dreaded efficiency system" had gone into
effect. and the matter was generally dis
cussed at the Office today The impress
sion had gone abroad that 1t meant the
imposition of greater amount OF work
on the men and women workers-that the
stint" would be increased-and as con-
sequence there was much complaint among
the workers.
Mr.. Stillings said there was no need Of
alarm, as the new system would be OF bene-
fit to every man and woman employed in
the printery.
1T will help the printers. the pressmen.
the bookbinders and all Others" said the
public printer. 1T will be a good thing
for them. as it will give them full credit
for the amount OF work they accomplish.
besides allowing the officials to give the
departments Of the government a quick,
comprehensive and accurate estimate on
any work they may desire to have done
at the public printing office"

the language Of their tribe. They say that
Mcclellan will be mayor for another year.
and that II Murphy and Sullivan support
Hearst the mayor will clean out the friends
OF those two leaders root and branch.
1t is vital to Mayor Mcclellan that Hearst
shall not be nominated. II Hearst were
elected Mcclellan would resign. 1t has been
said that Hearst If elected, would exercise
the power Of the governor vested by law
and remove Mcclellan and District Attorney
Jerome. Shrewd politicians say. however.
that Mr.. Hearst would hardly establish a
rival martyr. which certainly would be the
case If he should put out Mcclellan for
political spite.
Favors Jerome.
While Mayor Mcclellan favors the nomi-
nation Of Jerome he has sent word to
Murphy that If Murphy will stand out
against Hearst Mcclellan will not oppose
any candidate for governor whom Murphy
should select. Jerome at present appears
to be merely a pawn In the game. his sup
posed strength to be thrown wherever 1t can
best hurt Hearst. Jerome himself is hardly
mentioned today as candidate and Is prac-
ticaliy negligible quantity to the leaders.
Gaynor OF Brooklyn Ia very much stronger
and SO Is Adams OF Buffalo at this moment.
Even Sulzer Is thought to be more OF a
possibility than Jerome. Jerome is in touch
with the conservative democrats who at
tended the recent Albany conference and
they are trying to keep an eye on the plat
form. to shape 1t conservatively. That
seems to be about the sole function of
Jerome at present.
The first big clash will come in the conf
mittee on credentials. Mr.. Hearst is franz
ing up contrasting delegates In the upstate
counties and Leader Murphy is organizing
contesting delega tons below the Bronx.
The Hearst people want Lewis Nixon or
Thomas Carmody for temporary chairman
and the ants want John B. Stanchheld or
Thomas M Osbourne. The state committee
will meet tonight and name the man to
open the convention.
At II o'clock today Thomas F. Smith, sec
rotary OF Tammany Hall. was quoted as
saying that Leader Murphy would issue a
statement this afternoon supporting Hearst.
This announcement created the greatest
CONSERVATION among the opposing forces
and half dozen big democrats went hot
foot after Murphy with protests. Leader
Murphy half an hour later announced that
the statement that he would support Hearst
was. to say the least. premature. Il have
not made up my mind" said Leader Muir
ply. L am still considering all sides OF the
case, talking with everybody I can and
will not make any formal announcement Of

day. in speaking Of the outbreak there. that

John Tempe Graves. editor OF the At
lanta Georgian. has been outspoken In his
advocacy OF the plan" said Mr. Brantley,
and his Idea has been heartily indorsed by
many of the best citizens.
The reorganization OF the Ku-Klux-KIan
was not advocated primarily to wreak ven
geance and to cheat the courts but to pro
tect the unfortunate victims of assault from
the publicity attendant upon a trial OF their
assaiiants. 1t would be the purpose of such
an organization to impa rtially try any
negro accused of crime against a white
woman. and ascertain as near as human
justice could his guilt or Innocence. II

ecuted: If innocent. released Through this
method of handling negroes charged with
such heinous offense the victim wound

Besides protecting women from the pub

that the negroes would be inundated by

Difficulty Attending Arrests.

Numerous cases of assaults upon white
women by colOred men have occurred in
Atlanta in the past few months In almost
every case it has been Impossible for the
authorities to arrest the guilty men The
result has been that the people have be-
come thoroughly imbued with the idea that
Drastic means must be adopted TO protect
the white women
when left Atlanta Saturday eyerythinp
was quiet, and l heard no mention of a
plan to promiscuously kill the colored men.
At the same time l was perfectly aware of
the intense feeling of the people, which
had been aroused to the highest pitch, and
which required but a slight beginning to
spread throughout the city the spirit of re-
venge against the negroes
Mr.. Brantley thought that the happenings
in the Georgia capital would exercise a de-
terrent effect upon the negroes for some
time to come. and he predicted that it
would put stop to all talk of the reorgan-
iZation of the ku-Kluxklan. He said that
he had, through the columns of his paper,
always condemned lynching and had advo-
Gated the trial by jury of all negroes
charged with offenses against white women.
He added that in the past few months he
could recall no instance where a negro had
attacked a white woman in Georgia outside
of Atlanta.
