TO RETIRE CLERKS
AT THE AGE OF 70
NEW PROPOSITION
Proposed Bill viii En-
force Saving to Pay
AnnuitieS.

Retirement OF superannuated Govern
ment clerks in Washington, with the age
limit cf active service placed at seventy
years, viii be provided for IN a bin
which will be reported 10 the House by
the Committee on Reform III the Civil
Service in the near future.
This statement was made today by a
prominent member OF the committee,
and IS backed by his knowledge Of the
sentiment in the coEGmittee, as it has
been demonstrated IN the series Of hear
ings that that body has given TO MEM
bers of the Keep Commission concern
ing the proposition.
Whether the House and Senate will
pass the bin is a matter of doubt. The
Senate will, in all probability, refuse 10
do so at this session, even II the meas
ure goes through the House.
Members Of the committee believe
that, ia the plan OF Herbert Brown,
formerly of the Department OF Com
merce and Labor. but nov engaged in
private business in ChicS go. they have
found the ideal plan for the retirement
of the aged clerks. This plan prohibits
any general fund, but provides that
each clerk, upon reaching the age OF
retirement. shall draw an annuity made
Up o. the savings that have been de-
Quoted monthly and pat in the Treas
ury from hts or her salary. That is,
it meets tie objection that has been
raised by the clerks that none wanted
to be compelled to contribute to anndl-
ties for other people.
According to the plan, a separate
bookkeeping account will be had for
each clerk. That clerks savings win
be entered 10 his or her credit as they
are deducted from the monthly salary,
and interest at the rate cG 4 per cent,
compounded annually. WI. be paid on
such savings.
Mr.. Brown appeared before the COM
mittee today and explained the tech
meal details OF his plan. 1t Is the out
come of his knowledge and experience
as an actuary and man skilled IN all
insurance problems.
The committee realizes that the Gov
ernment clerks object in many instances
TO the retirement plan. But they main
tain that such bill, If enacted into
law, will De for the good OF the clerks
as the time Is sure 70 come when the
tendency in Congress to demand the
most rigid economy in governmental eX-
penditures viii demand thal superan-
nuated clerks shall not be retained in
the service. They say it will be best
for the clerks to have the annuity plan
on its feet when that blow comes.
Although no decision has been reached
on this point. IL is thought that the
plan viii be put into effect so as to
save the clerks who are old ia the serv-
ice from instaEa dismissal without an
nuties How this win be done has not
been determined, but there may be a
nrcvision in tie measure that will ex-
cent from it's provisions the present su-
peranuuated clerks and make the an
nuty system go into effect five or ten
years hence.
This provision Will be fought for by
friends OF the clerks.

election of
Shooting.

'We believe from the evi-
dence that Hugh Hollis was
unconscious at the time the
pistol shot was fired, and
therefore do not hold him re-
sponsibie for the death of his
wife. +"
Such was the verdict re-
turned this afternoon by the
coroner's jury at the inquest
over the body of Mrs. Hollis.
Awakened from a sound sleep
early this morning by the screams
of his mother-in-law, Hugh Hollis,
jr., of 1915 Newton street, rose
from his bed, still grasping a smok-
ing revolver, to find his young wife
dying on the floor at the foot of the
bed, shot through the heart by his
unconscious hand.
"Hugh, you've killed EvelynP
screamed the dying girls mother.
As the full horror of the situation
struck through Hollis numbed
senses, the revolver fell to the floor
and he dropped on his knees at his
wife's side, SObbing Historically.
Dreams of Burglars.
q was dreaming of burglars" he
cried again and again, as he sought
to restore some sign of life to the
unconscious form.
From the inner room came the
wailing cry of their eleyen-months-
old child. At the sound Hollis rose
to his feet and turned his agonized
gaze toward his mother-in-law, who
stood leaning over the foOtbOard of
the bed, moaning Historically.
With the sudden determination,
apparently, to end his life, Hoiis
reached for the revolver. Mrs. For
sythe's prompt action in throwing
herself between the half-crazed man
and the weapon prevented a double
tragedy. Hollis turned and rushed
toward the bathroom, where he
kept his razor, but Mrs. Forsythe
again intervened, reaching the
door of the bathroom in time to
lock it and frustrate Hollis designs
upon his life.
Hollis seized his bathrobe and,
crying that he was going for a ply
sician, rushed from the house bare
footed. He ran TO the office of DR..
Dwight G. Smith, 3121 Fourteenth
street, and told the physician of the
tragedy. Dr. Smith hur..iedly
dressed and went to the Hollis
home, to find the young woman
dead, and the police in charge of
the premises. Hollis gave himself
up at once, and was taken to the
Tenth precinct station.

CHICAGO, March 13.-John r. Walsh,

grant left the boy on his own re-
sources.
His Early Life.
Walsh rose TO the position OF dealer

fuences, he won success in ward poll
ties This enabled him TO become a
money lender. He started a small bank,
and. through political influence. pro-
cured city and county deposits He
bought stock in a newspaper, then start
ed the Chicago Chronicle, and for years
used it as a political weapon. BY taking
advantage of bankruptcies. he bought
stone quarries, railroads, steamers, and
coal mines in Indiana.
The money he used, IL is charged, was
that deposited by the state. county and
municipality and other depOsltors.
Walsh was convicted of having violated
the laws which forbid banks 10 lend
more than 10 per cent OF their capital
stock 10 any single person He loaned ~
least a dozen of his corporations many
times in excess of the legal limit.
Beginning of Trouble.
He signed otEer persons names TO
the notes, and the testimony on which
conviction was secured showed that ne
drew out many hundreds of dollars In
1913 ne was warned by the national
examiner A year later lac was told
the conditions OF his bank were worse

ceruter. 1898. an examination by Spe-
CisI Examiner MoXley resulted IN. the
