Washington. June 2s-Representatives Of the
great bonding companies of the country made plea
against any legislation which would decrease their
ates ar q hearing before the Committee on Appro-
rriations to-day. Although they put forth their
strongest arguments. present indications that
their visit 70 Washington has been futile In fact,
Il is probable thar the only result Of the hearing
to-day will be that the United States government
will go into the bonding and surety business 50 far
its employees are concerned, and that the
bonding companies viii have TO look elsewhere for
their patronage.
When Representative Tawney. chairman OF the
Appropriations Committee. learned some time ago.
that most Of the bonding committees had practically

as Typhoid Mary" appeared yesterday before
Justice Gieeerich in the Supreme Court. writ
Of habeas corpus TO ask her freedom from soIi-
tary confinement The Health Department has

The health authorities say that Miss MsIior is

for the family Of J. Coleman Drayton While she
was there three servants became sick with typhoid
but the unfortunate woman says that she was not

TO PENSION EMPLOYEES
PLAN OF THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. Taft Nay Urge Retirement
Fund for Government WOrkers.
from The Tribune Bureau J

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington, June 2e-The President viii recon-
mend TO Congress in his first annual message the
creation OF q retirement fund and the pensiontng
Of superannuated employees Of the government. &C
oorng TO the prediction Of several members of the
Cabinet who have given the subject considerable
study and who will urge that course in their an
r11al reports The President himself recently ex-
ressed the hope that some feasible system Of re-
tiring aged clerks would be devised, and as mem
her of President Roosevelts Cabinet he advised the
President that this government would have to come
TO that system in the near future.
Since the extension Of Civil Service reform
throughout the executive departments, which mas
obvia ted the frequent changes that prevailed under
the spoils system, the number OF clerks too old
properly 10 perform the duties assigned 10 them
has steadily increased. With the beginning OF the
Taft administration the President urged on
the members Of his Cabinet the promotion OF
economy. and they in seeking to carry out the
Presidents wishes. have prosecuted a quiet IN
vestigation OF the services in their several de-
partrnents The President told his Cabinet or
hcers that he would furnish them with such
subordinates as they desired and would look to
then, for results Their Investigations have re-
veaIed the presence OF great numbers or IN
ccrnpetents whose ridiculously small amount OF
work adds greatly to the expense OF cohoucnhs
the federal business
These incompetents can be divided into TWO
classes One consists OF comparatively young
clerks who lack energy and ambition. The other
includes great number OF clerks Of too ADVANCED
age to make II possible for them 10 do anything
approaching full days work. The first class can
and will be easily taken care of. They will be
dropped from the service But to drop those Wno'
after years of faithful service. have grown old in
the service is task which few Cabinet officers are
willing 10 perform
In some Of the efforts at reorganization the super
annuated have been practically psnsioned, receiv-
ing the lowest grade of salaries, with no expecta-
ton that they will accomplish much In the New
York Custom House, for instance. seventy-hve old
employees have been found incepacitateG by age to
perform their duties Their pay has been reduced
and they are permitted 70 spend their time about
as they please. reporting once day az the Custom
House This is possible, however. only because
their supposed duties keep them outside Of the Gus
tom House itself. Were they employed inside their
mere presence would demoralze the entire service

condition which prevails in the government depart
