DETENTION OF CLERKS
PROPOSED THAT PAY SHALL BE
GIVEN WHEN TINE 70 LOST.

Representative Bennett OF New York APP
peared today before the House committee
on reforms in the civil service to speak
in favor Of two bills designed to improve
the conditions Of government employees.
The first bill provides for the payment of
regular salaries or wakes-to all govern
ment clerks and employees in the executive
departments the government printing o.
fee. the bureau of engraving and printing
and the navy yard and arsenals for the
time they are kept from work by injuries
or through being Quafantined.
Representative Foster Of Vermont called
attention to the fact that the House COM
rnittee on the judiciary will probably ia
vorably report at this session a bill to pay
damages to all government employees in
jured in the line of duty. He said it
the same kind and Mr.. Bennett said he
would modify his measure accordingly.
1T is the only fair thing to do" he
said. 4 man is confined to his home be-
cause the home Is quarantfned: This quar-

not the man. consequently II would seem

charge this enforced absence from his
work against him.
ut is q gross injustice" said Mr.. Fos-
ter of Vermont. that government en-
ployes are not given the right to secure
damages for injuries received in the line
of duty. Workers in private concerns get
damages. often voluntarily, from their en-
ployers. The employees Of this great gov
eminent should enjoy a similar privilege -

MUST ATTEND SCHOOL OR WORK
Psrplexing Situation in Chicago
Over New School Law.

CHICAGO, May 9.-Under the proyi-
sions of the new Illinois compulsory edu-
cation law, children between the ages
OF fourteen and sixteen, must be IN
school or at work." In enforcing these
provisions. however. the Chicago board of
education has found that because of the
recent depression hundreds of boys and
girls are wandering the streets in search
Of work which they cannot find. When
told that they must go to school, the chill
dren-and their parents-plead that the
support of their families depends on their
getting work and that under the law
they are entitled to an unrestricted on.
portunity to look for it.
So perplexing has the situation become
that w. l.. Bodine. superintendent Of
compulsory education has made il the
subject Of a special report to President
Schneider.
In this he urges that school PRINCIPALS
should be authorized to give children over
fourteen the privilege OF half day ses-
sions, in order that they may have time
to look for employment. The parental
school regulations. he suggests. should
be altered SO that children up to the age
Of sixteen may be admitted 1.-THE present
limit is fourteen) and courses in indus
trial education. he declares. should be in
troduced in the grades so that the young
sters will be better equipped when they
start their search for work.
The matter will probably be acted on
At the next meeting of the board.

THE CHILD LABOR Bull.
Measure Will Be Passed BY thu
House Today.

The local child labor law, framed by
the House District committee and IA
vored by President Roosevelt, was
taken up in the House this afternoon
and will be passed before Congress adj
journs today. The measure was called
up by Representative Olcott of New
York. twenty minutes debate being al
lowed on a side, most of which was
devoted to political discussion between
Serene Payne of New York, the repub-
lican floor leader. and John Sharp VIII
liams Of Mississippi, democratic floor
leader. who appeared in the House for
the first time following an illness Of
about ten days.
There was no difference of opinion, con.
corning the measure among the men,
bers Of the District committee. and as
nobody wanted to protest against any of
its provisions, Mr.. Payne secured the floor
and criticised the democrats in an effort
to make it plain that they had not forced
the child labor bill before the House. Mr..
Williams replied in characteristic vein
and kept the House amused for fifteen
or twenty minutes. At the close of the de-
bate the bill was put on its passage.

the shape OF a Spanish court, with four
raised stands surrounding the central
court. The corner stone is placed about
eight feet above the old level OF the

exact center OF the court. and high above
the heads of the courts seats, all can see

four stands and court section have q
color given to each Of them, and each
stand will be reached by a separate en-
trance from the street.
The north stand, accommodating about
800 guests, is to be white, and will be
entered from c street only. All who ap-
white and blue tickets must turn to the
right into c street. where will be seen
the marked entrances in different colors
The east. Or red. stand will be entered

DELAYS HIS DECISION.
Action by Bishop Brent Confirms
Local Expectations.

A cablegram from at Rev. Charles
Henry Brent, Bishop OF the Philippines,
announcing that he is considering the call
to become Bishop of Washington. 1t is de-
clared, has confirmed the surmises held
by the officials of the local diocese yester-
day.
The effect of the announcement by
Bishop Brent is expected to be that his
friends here will send him messages urg-
ing him to accept the episcopate and push
forward the large work inaugurated by
the first bishop of this diocese. the late
Rt. Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee. 1t Is re-
garded as not surprising that the bishop
elect has determined to delay definite de-
cision because ofsthe fact that he had no
intimation that he was a. possible sue
cessor to Bishop Satterlee until notified by
cablegram Wednesday Of his election.

SIX ATTORNEYS OIsBARREO
NAY NOT PRACTICE BEFORE IN
TERROR DEPARTMENT.
Result Of Official Inquiry Into
Charges Regarding Deals in Pen t.
sioners' Land Warrants. :.

Six WASHINGTON lawyers have been dis
barred from practice In the Department
Of the Interior the order having been
signed bv Secretary Garfield last week
supplemented by second order, issued
last Saturday. permitting the lawyers to
continue the cases now in hand until
June 1. so that no injury might come to
their clients.
The lawyers disbarred are Thomas X
Harvey and Eugene E. Stevens. forming
the firm of Milo B. Stevens & Co.; Har-
vey Spaulding. Edwin w. Spaulding and
James II. Spaulding. forming the firm OF
H. Spauding & Sons. Rd Edgar p
Gaddis.
The charges on which the order of dis
barment was issued are in connection
with the disposal of land grants to vet
Grams of the Mexican and Indian wars
The commissioner of pensions has the
power of issuing to such veterans OF
their widows warrants to certain govern.
ment lands on application. 1t Is alleged
that the lawyers now disbarred sought out
veterans or their widows to whom such
patents had not been issued and entered
into correspondence with them. informing
them that such lands could be had on ap-
plica ton. after filing satisfactory proofs
of identity and service.
1SuSlOuSIS AdAU w dIIaALS
The practice then was. it is said. for
the lawyers to act as agents for the ap-
plicants and finally secure the land war
rants from the commissioner of pensions
for transmittal to the pensioners. Then
it is declared. the pensioner would be
notified that the warrant had been issued
and that the land could be disposed of In
Washington. at a certain price per acre,
thus saving the pensioner the trouble OF
selling it himself.
1t is declared that. if the pensiOner
agreed to this proceeding. money to the
amount at which he agreed to sell and
the warrant would be forwarded to a
bank in the pensioners town. with in
structions to the bank that the pensioner
should have the money if he signed the
warrant over to the lawyers in due form.
When this was done. it is charged. the
warrant would be returned to the lawyers.
who. it is declared. would sell the land
which it represented at q profit.
A. hitch came when q western widow
refused 10 take the money and sign the
warrant. Instead she wrote to the COM
missioner of pensions. telling him of the
transaction and asking him If 1t was all
right.
Then the investigation began.
