WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10
There will be a provision in the execu
tive legislative and judicial appropria
ton bill providing that after 1913 al
Government clerks reaching the age @
70 wears shall be dismissed from the
service.
This provision is intended to act as
a seyen-year warning to the old clerks
now in the government service. Dur
ing the next seven years a scale OF pay
has been arranged for the old clerks
This scale prohibits the payment q
more than s1,4O0 year to any clerR
s5 years or over; $1,000 to any clerk 6s
years or over. and $40 to any clerk II
wears of age or over. Among the first
to be affected by this legislation will
be the veterans of the civil war, many
of whom are reaching the ages named
in the bill.
Efforts will undoubtedly be made TO
strike out this provision, but Chairman
Tawney is sincere in his attempt 10
prevent the accumulation of superan-
nuated clerks.

Important Conference Being Held
At Washington Today.
COMMERCIAL BODIES WELL REPRESENTED
PROPOSED LEGISLATION ON SUB
JEcT WILL BE DISCUSSED
BY THE DELEGATES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13.-
Nearly every prominent commercial
and industrial organization in the
country will be represented by dele
gates in the consular reform conven-
ton, which opens here today. The
great interest shown by the public in
general and the civic and commercial
interests of the country in particular,
proves beyond doubt that the neces-
sity of a thorough reform in our con.
sular system is fully appreciated and
that the time has come when the
people will insist upon such measures
as are considered necessary to raise
our consular system and service to a
higher standard of usefulness.
Reorganization Possible.
AS far back as last autumn Frank
S. Gardner, secretary of the New York
Board of Trade and Transportation
corresponded with Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, asking him whether
Senator Lodge intended to renew In
made in the Fifty-seventh and Fifty
eighth to get a bill passed reorganiz
ing the consular service of the United
States upon a rational basis Of ap
pointment and promotion. In his re
plies Senator Lodge seemed to be
much discouraged over the outlook OF
getting any favorable action by con
gress on the subject. He said that
he had repeatedly succeeded in get
ting his bills out of committees. but
that, after that had been done, he had
never been adequately supported by
the commercial organizations of the
country AS result of the CORE
spondent. Senator Lodge took up the
matter with President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root, and Mr.. Gardner him
self took it up with the secretary of
state. The president and Secretary
Root strongly support the plan of d
thorough consular reform, and it was
agreed to call a convention of repre-.
sentatives of the various commercial
bodies of the country for the purpose
Of obtaining concerted support for any
reform measures in regard to the
consular service which should meet
the approval of the convention. Sec
rotary Gardner sent out the call for d
convention and the commercial and
other organizations of the country to
whom invitations were sent, respond
ed promptly by appointing delegates to
the convention.

At SEATTLE MEETING MARCH q
BILL WITH SUCH PROVISIONS
MAY BE INTRODUCED IN
NEXT LEGISLATURE.

A bill providing limit to the num-
Der Of trout, perch Or bass that may
be caught in one day, and also provid-
ing penalty for any person who may
fail to return to the water any fish
below specified weight, may be one
Of the most important questions dis
cussed by the convention Of the state
game wardens, which will meet in
Seattle on March %. There is strong
chance that the meeting, after discuss
ing it's provisions, will draw up bill
to be introduced at the next session OF
the state legislature.
Game Warden Ref, of Seattle, in Il
recent interview, stated that such a
law is of vast Importance, for the rea-
son that there are fishermen who de-
stroy hundreds Of fish every season.
He considers that another question
that will be discussed is the advisa-
bility of the passage Of a law making
it illegal for any fisherman to take fish
for any other purpose than for his own
use. This" he says, would do away
with much of the waste that is now
going On, and would result in the coun
ties being able to stock and keep stock
ed the hundreds Of lakes and streams
that are now becoming fished out.
