methods of obtaining money from MS
many wives.
johnson acknowledged thai ne is the
man known as MADISON ana also Au-
derson, for whom The police Of several
cities have been hooking for years on
biEamy charges.
JOhnsOn's action was not the result of
an overweening fonGness for the fair
sex, he said. His motive in becoming
fiance and husband to 90 many women
was purely mercenary. In explaining
his marital exploits he said:
Il have had 80 many wives that ]

Mrs Sylvia Pollard Debonnet in San

I married only one woman, She was

those interested in automobiles that the
winner must have something to recon-
mend it and that those not so fortunate
as to win need not be relegated neces-
Sariiy to the junk pile. In other words,
a contest in which It is no disgrace to
lose, for certainly there can be only one
winner in any contest. I have not heard
from the WintOn people about their en-

clerks IN the Department Of Commerce

tons Of ten others could not be sub

The true situation is that the Secre-
tary and Assistant Secretary Ormsby
MacHarg have been wOrkins on the
question of demotions and dismissals for
the past month, and they believe that
it viii require two weeks longer to tell
how many clerks Will be affected by
the movement for greater efficiency Ia
the department. Up to the present time,
seventy clerks have been denoted,
thirty have been promoted or trans
fered from one division To another, and
about eight have been allowed to re-
sign.
Not half Of the force Of the depart
ment has been gone over, OWING to the
pressure Of other work on the heads
Of the department. II IS calculated in
a rough way that wneu the shake-uT
is accomplished, a little more than 90
clerks viii have been affected by the
changes contemplated. The largest per
centage- Of these denoted and re

This WORK is not being done suddenly
and in large lunches, but, as a clerk
is found to deserve dismissal, demotlor
or reprimand. the penalty decided on is
administered.
