SENATE TURNS BACK
CENSUS MEASURE
Applicants Should Reside in
State Claimed as Their
Homes.

Washington, April 22.-By an aye and
nay vote. the Senate today rejected the
conference report on the census bill
because of it's failure to include the
McCumber amendment requiring appli-
cants for civil service employment to
reside in the states claimed by them
as their homes.
That the census Office has in it's en-
ploy In n bureau the wife of a repre-
sentative in congress-, the wives of two
officials of the war department and the
wife OF a prominent official in he
TREASURY department, was the charge
made today by Senator McCumber in
criticising the conference report on the
census bill.
.Promotion," he said, Seems to be
almost wholly for women who hav
husbands in the departments. h is
getting to be a city OF official antilles
holding positions under the govern
ment.''
Like the Bill Vetoed.
Mr.. McCumber said the census bill
as agreed to did not differ materially
from the measure which was vetoed in
the last congress by President Roose-
welt. According to the provisions of
the bill, he said, employees OF the gov,
eminent are not apportioned among the
several states. The fact is tina whole
ment departments credited to states
which h younger members Of the
families ave never seen.
Mr.. McCumber urged the necessity
Of his amendment requiring actual res
idenco by the applicant from a state,
which was stricken out by the conferee.
Senator Gallinger said 1t was motor
ioue that whole families are employed
in h government service and that the
law OF apportionment Is a mere farce.
Senator Lodge supported Mr.. Nc
Cumber's amendment.
Perjury n false certificates are
given by applicants for the government
service" said Senator Carter. THE
civil service commission seems to me to
be accountable for permitting this con-
dltion to exist"
LaFollstts in Defense.
Defending the conference report Sen
At0r LaFollette declared one-third OF
the civil service employees in this city
had been covered by executive order
and were not subject to the law OF APP
portionment.
Advocating a limited tenure OF SER
vice OF 10 years in the departmental
service In this city, Senator Hepburn
said:
while ], have great respect for gray
hairs, yet you look down some OF the
afsles In s0ne OF your departments.
you will see a snowdrift In respect to
Age, r~espectability and former compe-
tency."
He hoped some day. he said, to have
the civil service question squarely be-
fore the Senate for consideration.

After the House bill had been read
in its entirety, Senator Fairehild
stated that Mr.. A. L. c. Atkinson had
compiled some interesting statistics
bearing upon the leprosy question and
asked him to submit them to the Sen
ate.
Atkinson showed that Norway had
accomplished much by the adoption of
consistent and thorough policy, fol-
lowed out along advanced lines. He
stated that the bill under considera-
tion took the subject up with a new
idea-that of an extension of treat
ment He said that at the present
time there was only one doctor at Mo-
lokai, and that, as consequence, 1T
was impossible to undertake the CON
sistent treatment of the disease.
In response TO question from
Chairman Chillingworth, President Rob
inson of the Board of Health stated
that the interposition of legal obsta-
cles had prevented determined eff
fort toward the apprehension of sus-
poets.
Senator Fairchild stated that in his
opinion there should be some legisla-
tive action toward the segregation of
the sexes.
DR.. Cooper stated that the Board
of Health should be represented by
a bacteriologist in all examinations.
He also said that the problem of sex
segregation was the most difficult one
to deal with.

ing in the bill to allow the restricted
discharge of person free from the
symptoms Of leprosy. Senator Smith
enlightened Coe1ho, pointing out that
the point was fully covered in the
hill.
The Quacks Bill.
Senate Bill No, sc, Coe1ho s bill to
let down the bars for the free appli-
cation of all varieties of quack meas
ures, was defended by it's sponsor. The
bin was taken up in conjunction with
the 1eprosy bill. because it was intend
ed to allow any remedial agencies in
the treatment of persons who are pro-
nounced hopeless by a licensed physi-
clan.
Coelho maintained that it was i'm
possible for people at the Settlement
to secure outside remedies, but this
was disproved by President Robinson
of the Board of Health.
DIR. Wayson and Secretary Mott
Smith supported the idea of the bill,
declaring that it was distinct step
in advance.
On the motion of Senator Smith, the
committee rose and recommended the
passage of the bill on second reading.
The report was adopted unanimously,
passing the bill on second reading.
Senate Bill No. Sc was referred back
to the Health Committee, so it can

resignation, which he sent to the Speak

warmest, was not received.
1t is expected that the session will
not be allowed to end without con-
tinuation of this row, which will be
even more bitter when resumed

and fifty are being looked after in the
Senate.
Yesterday notice was received of the
signing by the Governor of six more

There was reference made in an an

trouble of Saturday, this being that

his own notes and that the journal
Committee would be supplied with
copies of these minutes.
