CENSUS BILL DELAY
HARD UPON CLERKS
McCumber Amendment Is Particular Stumbling Block
for Many Who Have Ambitions to Work for
Uncle Sam-No Relief in Sight

The delay in getting the census bill
through Congress is playing havoc with
hundreds OF clerks who have been
planning to get work during the col
lection of the thirteenth census. This
is true not only of those who would
be recruits in the Census Office, but
also of the temporary clerks, who, to
get permanent positions, would be re-
Quired to take another civil service ex-
animation
The McCumber amenGment to the bill
is the stumbling block to the ambitions
of those who desire to enter the Gov
ernment service. In the case of those
who are now residents of the various
Statess and have been such for at least
one year, the amendment offers no diff
ficulties. The same is not true of many
of the clerks who are now employed in
the Census Office on the temporary
roll Some of them have been in
Washington more than a year. in the
employ of the Government, and thor
oushly qualified to take up as perna-
nent employees the work Of the office
during the collection OF the census.
The McCumber amendment, however
II adopted. would actually impose a PEN
atty upon any one who accepts a tenn
porary position with Uncle Sam. The

employees who have teen in washington
for a year would be disqualified from
going TO their homes and taking the
civil service examination for permanent
employment or even temporary employ
ment at an advanced grade under the
terms of the McCuIaber resolution. In
addition, scores OF residents of Wash
ington, accredited to the various States,
but who have beer working in the vari-
Gus departments for more than year,
would also be barred from obtaining
employment in the Census Bureau The
members of the House are so much op-
posed to the McCumber plan that they
would prefer to let the bill die, and per-
NIT the collection of the next census to
go on under the provisions of the exist
ing law, which was enacted when the
twelfth census was arranged for by
Congress- 1t Is also understood that a
majority of the members of the Senate
have come to the conclusion that the
passage of the bill with the McCumber
amendment would do an injustice TO
many Of the employees now in the Gov
ernment service
Incidentally tine delay in passing the
bill is holding uP the preparations for
the next census, but their appears to be
no immediate relief Less than third
of the members of the House are IN
washington and that number will not
oe materially increased until the tarih
bill leaves the Senate.

SMITH WOULD BUY
ANACOSTA FLATS
Thinks Congress Should Ac.
quire Land and Convert
1t Into Park.

Both the health and beauty Of the
Capital would be far better conserved
If Congress would acquire the land on
the south side Of the Anacostia river,
known as the Anacostia fats. and con-
vert II into a park like Potomac park,
is the opinion Of Representative Samuel
w. Smith of Michigan, chairman Of the
House Committee on the District OF
Columbia Representative Smith be-
lieves that the land could be purchased
at this time for - goo an acre while it
may double that figure in a few years
This plan, which also has the In
dorsement Of Senator Burkett of Ne
brasl6a, was outlined by the Michigan
member last night in an address before
the Congress Heights Citizens Associa-
tion.
Personnel of Commission.
Congress could acquire the land and
turn it over to the park commission,
said Representative Smith. This COM
mission, in my opinion. should consist
of nine members. three members OF
the District Committee of the Senate,
three members of the District Com
mittee of the House, and either three
members appointed by the President or
the three District Commissioners.
Representative Smith also declared
that the police force SHOULD be in
creased by at least 100 policemen, and
that he would work TO get them
Burkett's Views.
Senator Burkett said the citizens OF
the States are as eager TO see Wash
inEton the model city of the country as
are District citizens, while Representa-
tive Campbell of Kansas said he SYM
pathized with residents of the District,
because they have no grip on the
fellows in Congress who do things
Other speakers were Commissioner
Macfarland and Col. A. Z. Randle. The
latter severely criticised the street car
service to Congress Heights, declaring
that the residents of that locality did
not get as decent treatment from the
streot railways as do the people living
in Maryland and Virginia.
The Washington times., 1909-05-08

The amended complaint said Mr.
Hughes. 'is Identical with the first
complaint, except that the ground Of
insanity is omitted. The ground on
which the annulment of Mrs. Earle's s
marriage is sought is that the divorce
obtained from Earle by his first wife
was defective. We believe that that
VIII prove sufficient. Before long we
shalI move for a commission to take
testimony In France"
Earle arrived on the Potsdam las
Tuesday. and it was reported then he
had made a futile attempt to win the
affections of his son by his first wife,
who was Nile. Emile Marie Fisch-
bacher. daughter OF a horse dealer.

born about a year after her marriage
and is said to be in seciusion some

CHAPTER '.
THE ENGLISH INVADE.

maids, her husband and his
valet, a clerk from the cham
bers Of Bosworth, Ncwnes & Grape
win, red cocker, seventeen trunks
and CARLOAD Of late novels. which
she had been too busy to read Mt home,
was the first Of the bewildered lega-
tees to set foot upon the island of
Japat.
She was very pretty, very smart and
delightfully."- arrogant after manner
Of her own.
Mr.. Saunders was the polite but ex-
cessively middle class clerk who went
out to keep the legal strings untangled
for them. He was soon to discover
that his duties were even more COM
prehensive.
1t was no who saw to It that the
luggage was transferred to the lighter
which came out to the steamer when
she dropped anchor or the town Of
Arafat; 1t was he who counted the
pieces and haggled with the boatmen;
It was he who carried off the hand
luggage when the native dock boys
refused to engage In the work; 1t was
he who unfortunately dropped suit
case upon the hallowed tail of the red
cocker, an accident which ever after
ward gave him tenacity of grip that
no man could understand.
II Lady Deppinghnm expected roy
al welcome from the inhabitants of
Japat she was soon to discover her
error. Not only was the pictured
scene of welcome missing on the aft
crnoon OF her arrival, but an overpow-
ering air Of antipathy smote her in the
face as she stepped from the lighter
conquest in her smile Of Cancellation.
She glanced from right to left down
the lines of swarthy islanders and saw
nothing in their faces but surly, bitter
unfriendliness. They stood stolidly
stonily at distance, white ROBBED lines
of resentment personifled.
Not a hand was lifted in assistance
to the bewildered visitors: not word
not smile Of encouragement escaped
the lips Of the silent throng.
''Is there no British agent here?' she
demanded imperatively, perhaps lit
tie more shrilly than usual.
No one deigned to answer. Chances
Of Indifference, even scorn, passed
among the silent lookers-on, but tina
was all.
Does no one here understand tn

The Boys Confidence,

Perhaps one of the hardest tasks
that falls to the lot of a mother is
the one of winning her boys conf
dence. The victory, how, vcr, is such
as to Justify any sacrifice =. her part
and fear the sacrifices that are ne
cessary to establish complete under
standing between the two must neces-
sarily at first be borne by her, for
hayward and impulsive actions are
part of the originality of youth and
can be eradicated only by federation
on the part of others. The prevalent
idea among many people is that boys
are naturally saucy and bold. but this
is all wrong. Boys are exceedingly
diff1dent till they reach the years Of
early manhood, and If their manners
and morals are in depiorable condi-
ton, then something has been at fault
in their moral training. We can't
blame the child so we must blame the
parents. The Housekeeper.
