Defiance of the President
DrazUS AnsQuer From Forake,
Ohio Senator Will Bring Up Brownsville Bill Mon
day. Despite the Alleged BeIligerent
Letters From Mr. Roosevelt

IN echo Of tire controversy that the
President has stirred up by writing the
Senator'S about the Brownsville case
and the case OF Colonel Stewart was
heard in the Senate today, when Senator
Foraker gave notice that on Monday he
would call up his bill for the reinstGte-
rnent of tine colored troops OF the Twen-
ty-tfth Infantry. and would seek 10
have it made tho unfinished business.

tive TO tho commodities clause OF the

PAY ALL CLERKS
FOR TINE LOST
Government Employees
Kept From Work by
Quarantine.
Committee on Judiciary
to Report Damages
Bill This Session.

Two bills intended TO improve the
financial condition of Government clerks
and other employees OF the United States
were advocated today before the House
Committee on Reform IN the the Civil
Service by Representative Bennett of
New York.
Mr.. Bennett first spoke in advocacy OF
his measure to pay the regular salaries
or wages TO all Government clerks and
employees in the executive departments,
the Government Printing Office the
Bureau Of Engraving snd Printing, and
the navy yards and arsenals for the
time they are kept from work by in
Juries or quarantine
When Mr.. Foster of Vermont pointed
out that the Committee On judiciary
will I'm all probability report for passage
this session a bill 10 pay damages to
all Government employees injured in the
line Of duty. and that il would 5e>super-
fiuous 10 have two bills OF the same
sort. Mr.. Bennett said he would modify
his bill to provide for the payment Of
the regular salaries or wages 10 those
employees kept from work by quarantine
precautions.
"OnIy Fair Thing to Do"
at is the only fair thing to DO" he
told the committee. a man ia confined
10 his home because the home is quar-
antined. This quarantine is for the pro
lection CT the public. net the man. 1t
is manifestly, therefore, she only just
thing to let his pay continue and not
charge the enforced absence against
him."
Several members Of the committee ex-
pressed themselves as being in favor
OF this proposition.
In the course Of the hearing Mr.. Fos-
ter of Vermont, said:
1T is a gross injustice that Govern
ment employees should not be given the
right TO secure damages for injuries
received in the line Of duty. Workers in
private concerns get damages often on
the voluntary action Of the employers.
Surely. the employees OF the Govern
ment should enjoy a similar privilege I
am convinced that this legislation is
coming in the near future. but il will
come from the Committee on judiciary
IN the Dill providing for the pay OF dam
ages TO those injured in the line Of
duty"
Will Advocate Retirement Bill.
Payment Of damages having been
eliminated from the measure before
the committee, Dr. William J. Man
ming, in charge OF the emergency room
at the Government Printing Once.
spoke in behalf of the continuance Of
salaries to those kept at home as a re-
suit Of quarantine measures, irrespcc-
tive Of whether or not they may have
sick leave available.
Loss Of salary" declared the doctor.
lis a great hardship as a result OF per-
sons being quarantlned. 1 have seen
many instances of Il. and I know what
/ am talking about"
The committee took the matter under
Amusement.
Before the hearing ended. Mr.. Ben
net said he would advocate the pas
sage of his bill for the retirement o.
suprannuated Government clerks on 30
per cent Of their salaries, but he real
lied that the committee had studied
the subject deeply. and had considered
another plan.

The Florence Nightingale of Maine.

One of the most interesting figures of
the New England colony in Washington
D. c., disappears in the death of Mrs:
Sarah S. Sampson, who was buried
Dec. 25th in the section OF Arlington
reserved for army nurses. She was
known as the Florence Nightingale of
Maine. There were few soldiers who
went out to the Civil war from Maine
who did not know her or of her good
works. For many years she had lived
quietly at 1922 Fifteenth street, and
for long time was an employe iii the
Pension bureau. She took the keenest
interest in Maine institutions and
many of her closest friends in Wash
ington were Maine people. She re-
turned to Maine almost every year, gen
orally to Bath, where her husband, Col.
Charles Sampson, resided before his
death. She was the founder of the
home for soldiers and sailors orphans
in that city. Many instances OF her
good works were known to her friends
and associates but she was very modest
about appearing in the press and would
rarely tell anything to newspaper men
about herself for publication. She was
a quiet, constant attendant upon the
meetings of the Maine society, with
which she had long been identified,

Thomas w. Lawson has confirmed a
New York interview in which he an
nounced that be had decided to launch
movement which has for its object
the reelection of President Roosevelt
and the elevation of Governor John A.
johnson of Minnesota, Democrat, to
the Vice Presidents chair. Mr.. Law

reelection is necessary to save the
country from disaster, and that any
other Republican or even William ).
Bryan would be so satisfactory to New
York financial interests that they twill
willingly finance either or both parties
