MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS.
School Teachers. Policemen an,
Firemen to Be Paid Early.

Public school teachers. policemen and
hremen are to receive half of their SAL
aries for the month of December few
days before Christmas. The custom OF
paying the District employees in question
in advance of the regular pay day in
order that they can play Santa Claus
with full pocketbooks was established
by Charles c. Rogers. collector Of taxes,
when he was disbursing officer Louis
G. Wilson. the incumbent of the office,
announced today that he has made
arrangements to pay early this year
The majority of the other employees of
the District receive their salaries twice a
month. Although the early payment will
necessitate extra labor on the part of
both the disbursins office and the audi
tors Office it is deemed only fair by Mr.
Wilson that the employees referred to,
numbering about 300. should be placed
on the same basis as the other 1000 or
more employees of the District in having
a salary payment prior to the Christmas
holidays.

OUR GUNS BEST IN WORLD
ADMIRAL MASON IN REPORT
REPLIES TO CRITICS.
Enumerates Important Improve
ments in the Heavy Ordnance
of the Navy

Replying 10 criticisms in the press and
elsewhere. Rear Admiral Mason. chief
Of the naval bureau of ordnance. in his
annual report SAYS:
THE twelve-inch guns mounted on the
eight latest of our battleships already in
commission are equal or superior in
power to any twelve-inch gun vet afloat
anywhere in the world. and the twelve
inch guns of our battleships in course of
construction will be equal or superior in
power to any twelve-inch foreign gun of
which We have authentic information.
Referring to accidents in late years in
the turrets on American battleships Ad-
miral Mason says the plan OF using a
closed turret and keeping the turret
chamber under a moderate air pressure
has been definitely approved by the bu-
reau as auxiliary to the regular gas
ejector arrangement. That arrangement
not only is q valuable auxiliary in eX-
polling gases from the bOres of the guns
but Is also the most convenient method of
ventilating the turrets i'm action, he adds
The manufacture and preservation of
ammunition remain a great problem for
the bureau of ordnance. In this con-
nection reference is made to the attitude
Of the Dupont powder companies, now
being prosecuted by another branch of
the government under the antitrust laws.
THE capacities of the government
plants probably now such that dur
ing the continuance Of peace the govern
ment may he considered nearly indie
pendent of the Du Pont Powder Com
panies. and there Is no danger Of it's
having to purchase at exorbitant prices"
said Admiral Mason. Indeed. the COM
panies have always accepted the price
named by the government and it is only
fair to state that. during the past few
years. when the bureau was obliged TO
purchase large quantities of powder,
these companies have never taken advan-
tage of the situation to charge exorbitant
prices. The national welfare requires the
erfSouragement of these companies to
keep up their plants and their trained
forces. even If the output of the gov
eminent plants has TO be kept much be-
low their maximum capacity"
He recommends that the powder factory
at Indian Head he extended, but that it
be run at less than its full capacity so
that enough work will he left for private
plants to encourage their owners to main
tain them in condition and to retail then
valuable forces of chemists and vorkmen.
The general adoption of magazine re-
friEeration, to keep powder containing no
nitroglycerin at its prime, is recommended
nended.
Admiral Mason wants authority granted
to enable the. department to purchase
projectiles in the foreign markets as well
as torpedoes The small arms in the
navy are described as rapidly becoming
unserviceab BILE. and it is estimated that
20 per cent OF them must he repia ced
within the next year.

PLACE FOR INAUGURAL BALL
REPRESENTATIVE SMITH OF
MICHIGAN NOT ANXIOUS.
House District Committee Chairman
Thinks Congress Will Give Use
of Pension Office.

Representative Samuel w Smith Of
Michigan chairman Of the House District
committee, doesn't share the anxiety of
some folks on the question OF a building
in which to hold the inaugural ball. Al
though Congress provided by law four
years ago that the pension Office should
not lie again used for this purpose, Mr.
Smith thinks that if the worst comes 10
the worst and no suitable and fitting place
for holding the ball can be found Con-
gress will take back what it said and
permit the pension office TO be used after
all.
But Mr.. Smith. in common with many
other members of Congress, would will
ingly vote for an appropriation by Con
gress to defray the expenses of the inau-
guration.
He says the people OF Washington are
deserving of the highest praise and the
warmcSt thanks for the manner in which
every four years they have shouldered
the burden of the inauguration. raising
the large sum of money impera lively nee
essary and doing the vast amount Of work
incident upon the multitudinous prepare
tions
He thinks it about time that Con-
gress stepped to the front and helped out
with a contribution. An inauguration is,
after all. distinctly the affair of the fed
eral government and does not by right
belong to the people OF the National cap
ital. He things Congress should consider
this instead of getting so stiffnecked
about the of the pension office.

THREATENED STRIKE AVERTEO
ENGINEERS AND PENNSYLVA-
:, MA RAILROAD AGREE.
Parties to Controversy Subscribe to
Compromise Submitted by
Mediation Board.

The threatened strike of locomotive
engineers has been averted. The con-
troversy between the Brotherhood and
the officials of the Pennsylvania railroad
system west of Pittsburg was settled
last night through the efforts Of Chair
man Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission and Commissioner of Labor
Neill. sitting as mediation board under
the Erdman compulsory arbitration act.
An agreement. in the nature of a
compromise. was submitted to the
parties to the controversy by the media
ton board at the conference late yes
terday and was accepted by both sides
rs satisfactory termination of the trou-
BILE. The agreement was in writing and
was, signed and exchanged by Warren s.
Stone. grand chief nf the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, and Charles
Burgess. assistant grand chief. for the
engineers. and G. L. Peck. general man.
ager of the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsburg, on the part of the railroad
company. Satisfaction was expressed on
both sides at the happy ending of a
dispute which. in the beginning. had a
serious aspect and had caused the
Brotherhood to vote for strike unless
settlement could be reached.
Statement of Points Involved.
The official statement Of the points in
volved in the controversy and of the
agreement are in part follows:
THE general committee of adjustment
of the engineers desired to present Ger
tain requests to the general manager. The
latter declined to take up these requests
with the committee on the ground that
it is the rule of the lines that the gen.
eral manager will not take up requests, of
employees unless they have been previous
IL presented to and refused by the proper
division superintendent and by the gen.
eral superintendent in turn.
Representatives Of the engineers
claimed that most of the matters they de-
had already been submitted to the divi-
sion and general superintendent.
Upon examination it appears that some
of these requests were presented to the
1907 appeal taken to the general su-
perintendent. and that arrangements
were made for a further appeal to the
general manager. but that il was decided
not to prosecute the same at that time
It also appears thai some of the requests
had not been previously presented to the
subordinate officers.
Facts Conceded by Both.
In view Of these facts. which are sub
stantially conceded by both sides, we
recommend that the committee eliminate
from their petition to the general man
ager such requests as have not been sub
mitted TO the division superintendent and
general superintendents in accordance
with the rule and that if desired they
be taken up in regular course with these
subordinate officers.
