Bill to Increase Salaries of
Government Clerks.

All in One Direction.
ADVANCE IN COST OF LIVING

The business men of the District stand as
unit in favor of the proposed increase of
the salaries of government employees here.
Interviews had with a number of the most
prominent merchants and professional men
of Washington today by Star reporters in
dicated that the sentiment is running high
in the direction of better pay and better
treatment for the faithful men and women
who toll for Uncle Sam.
1t was the consensus of opinion of many
of the commercial men that now that the
members of Congress have increased their
own pay, owing to prevailing conditions, the
logical and right thing to do is to increase
the salaries of the clerks and other de-
partmental employees.
Several merchants said the question was
not many-sided one. They declared it
had but one side, and that for the increase.
1t was also said that nowhere else in the
world can be found such aggregation of
ability and industry engaged in a certain
class of work as is presented by the small
army OF government employees at the Amer
lean capital
Only good words were spoken for the I'M
derpald government clerk, and 1t was de-
clared that If Congress really desires the
betterment and upbuilding of the best and
prettlest capital city on the globe a long
stride forward in that direction will have
been taken when the salaries of the clerks
and others are increased commensurately
with recent marked increases in the wages
paid by private employers and concerns
1t was conceded on all sides that the cost
of living has greatly increased here in re-
cent years, with no corresponding increase
In the compensation of government en-
ployes.
Z An observant merchant declared that
when 1t comes to passing bills for anything
pertaining to Congress, it's members or en-
ployes, there is no baking or kicking over
the traces" He pointed as an evidence of
this assertion to the recent increase of con-
gressional salaries, and to the provisions
that are being made to provide luxurious
apartments for senator's and representatives
in the new House and Senate office build
ings now in course Of construction, as we'll
as several other similar evidences, and
added:
Let our senators and representatives be
consistent"

III VI 30OSSS q SOuS.
Mr.. w. H. Moses Of the firm of w. B.
Moses & Sons said today, referring to the
Davis bill for the increase Of the salaries
OF government employees:
1T is fair thing, and ought to be
passed. A mans services that were worth
certain sum five years ago are certainly
worth Is per cent more now. The cost Of
living has certainly increased that much.
The men and women employed by the gov
eminent are necessarily Of high class or
they could not pass the civil service ex-
aminations and other requirements. They
are consequently respected for their knowl-
edge and are respectable men and women,
there being fewer EXCEPTIONS than in many
other walks of life. The passage of the
Davis bill will be advantageous to Washing
ton as a city.
Mr.. Moses also said that when the mer-
chant desires to increase his income he in
creases the price of his goods, which, he
added, is being done throughout the United
States.

From Real Estate Viewpoint.

Stone & Fairfax, real estate brokers, said J.:
1--WE think the pay Of government en-
ployes should be without question increased
The public draws from the best people In
the country for employees, and the fact of
their superior ability ought to be recog-
nized in the pay rolls more adequately than
is now the case. The present scale Of SAL
aries do not permit the same style of living
here as they are accustomed to in their
home towns, and that Is condition which
ought to be remedied by an increase in pay
all along the line
Moore & Hill, real estate brokers, said:
I'VE are very much in favor of an increase
in salaries In the government service, as
we believe that it Is both proper and just
In business carried on by private enter
prize, 1t has been necessary to add to the
payrolls, not only in the number of en-
ployes. but in the amounts paid to each.
This has come about owing to the increase
in the cost of living.
In the case Of the government there has
been no material change in salaries for
fifty years, and it is time that Uncle Sam
was beginning to recognize that it costs
more to live now than it did half a CEN
fury ago."

MIR. MELLEN WILL HELP.
Considering PInns for Increased TroI-
 ley Facilities.

Hartford, May 7,-Through an inter- view with Senator Bulkeley to-day the Times learned that President Mellen, of the Consolidated railroad, is inclin- ed to treat the plans for improved traffic facilities in Hartford on broad grounds, and to be more liberal in his concessions than might be inferred from the reports of the conference be- tween President Mellen and the com- mittee appointed by the court of com mon council Saturday MT. Mellen re- spects the objections of Hartford citi- zens to the T rail, and, while still of the opinion that traffic facilities could be best served by that style, is inclin- ed to view the situation philosophically and in no way resent the city's atti- tude. He is desirous of giving this city whatever is wanted, provided the wants are reasonable
 Senator Bulkeley left with President Mellen a rough draft of plans for troll ley changes in Hartford which seemed to meet approval, and MT. Mellen said he would give the plans the most care- ful consideration, assuring the commit tee that it would be his aim to meet Hartford's views if it were possible to do so.

DEM1NG's PLAIN TALK.
Explains Reason of COnsolidated's Pur-
 chase of c. R. & L. Co.'s Lines. z.

Hartford May 7-Clarence Deming. of New Haven, addressed the meeting of the Farmers association of the gen. eral assembly this forenoon on the mat ter of trolley companies. There was large attendance.
 MT. Deming said the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company had bought the stock floating debts, etc., of the original companies chartered by the general assembly for $S,200,000. Into this the company had injected water stock to the amount of Sl7O00,- 900 before 1t sold out to the Consoli- dated Railway company. If the rail- road commissioners, said MT. Deming, had half done their duty, they could have prevented this imitation of stock and have checked it. He condemned the policy of appointing commission CTS for political reasons instead of for integrity, intelligence and for expert knowledge.
 To a question if the legislature could not have prevented the con- struetion of parallel lines so that Pres ident Mellen would not have had any fear from them, MT. Deming said that the Consolidated Railway company did not purchase the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company through fear of paralleling, but because the Consoll- dated's interests in Rhode Island were threatened by the United Gas Im- proyement company, of Philadelphia. The Rhode Island situation was used as a club to compel the Consolidated to surrender.
 MT. Deming pointed out that, while the trolley territory in Connecticut is nearly exhausted, there are twenty four bills before the general assembly for trolleys. Nine out of ten of these bills are for the purpose of strike" in two forms-first, to sell out the char ters, and, second, to build with the ob- ject of selling out.
 MT. Deming concluded by telling the association that his talk was against politics and policies, and that he had an intense dislike of mere politics,

CRAYS' PREPARATIONS.
READY FOR THE GEISHA
Dress Rehearsal Tonight Everything Ready for
 Big Success.

The members of the Geisha company are now ready for the dress rehearsal of the opera which is to be held in the New Haven theater this evening at 2 o'clock in preparation for the first per- fornance of the production on which the Grays and their friends have been, working so hard for weeks, tomorrow evening. The last regular rehearsal was held last evening in Elk's hall, MT. Nelson sending his charges over and over their lines and making slight changes which at the last moment make the production more like that of a professional company.
 The costumes and scenery have ar- rived and the amateurs who have been working with four walls as their seen cry will now jump into their stage characters in every sense of the word and play their parts in the fairy land of tinsel and canvas that the audi ences of Thursday, Friday and Satur- day are to look upon.
 Tomorrow evenings rehearsal will be the biggest trial of all the long weeks of rehearsing that the members of the company have had to do. MT Nelson will send them over and over the play until he is satisfied with the acting pictures, light effects and the manner in which the chorus and principles go through their work with the orchestra. It, will be in the early hours of the morning that the members of the com pany will be allowed to go having turn ed their backs on the last rehearsal of the Geisha. Then they may go home and prepare for the work that there is before them on Thursday evening,
 The coaching and the staging of the Geisha has been a far more difficult piece of work than that of presenting the Mocking Bird last year. There Is more acting and more music. How ever, if the three performances which are to be given are gone through as well as the last few rehearsals the public will be able to go away satisfied that they have had their moneys worth.
 Miss Bradley is In excellent condition ta sing the difficult role of O Mimosa San, while Mrs. Frank D. Nelson as Molly Seannore and, Joe Southerton in the role of Wun Hi have worked up a fund of humor that should please their audiences. The special song written for the Grays by George Chadwick Stock and dedicated to them, which IS to be lavishly featured, is sure to be one of the biggest hits of the op- era. MT. Percy Keenan who has had charge of the music has rehearsed his orchestra and is all ready for the dress rehearsal as well as the principals.

GLOVES OF wHALEHIDE.
Attempt to Find Profitable Use for n
 Wasted Product.
(London Express.)

Newfoundland whalers, seized with a spirit of enterprising economy, are re- ported to be attempting to place a whole hide on the market for the man. ufacture of leather.
 It is not surprising that such an at tempt should be made. It must vex the spirit of any whaler of well balance ed mind to see, after all the hardships and danger of his calling, an enormous and altogether disproportionate bulk of his quarry cast away.
 From large right whale of, say, 45 to 50 feet in length, about 250 barrels of old and one and quarters tons of baleen, or whalebone, may be ob- tained. The remainder of the gigantic carcass, which may be as much as fif- ty tons, has hitherto been considered useless.
 The average whale hide is laid out or the ground would cover surface of nearly 1,50O square feet, at which rate one whale if it's hide could be made in- to boots and shoes would well stock a West End boot shop.
 It is also hoped that the intestines of the whale will be made renumera- tive. This product is described as very thin and tough, and suitable for glove manufacturers.
 Regarding the use of whale for glove making, a Leicester square firm gave their opinion that the only satisfactory skin yet found for fine gloves is goat skin.
 Tt is not unlikely, however" they said, that the whale intestine could be manufactured into good motoring and driving gloves, for which reindeer at present holds the field against all other skins.
 "At various times many skins have been tried, such as the skins of croco- diles, cats, pigs, calves, lambs and even rats. Many of the mems cheap dress gloves on the market are made in Naples of the skins of the local sewer rats. But practically all the skins mentioned have been found treacherous. Glove skins must not on-
