WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Positive
announcement that General James 5.
Clarkson. surveyor Of the port of New

office was made by Secretary of the
Treasury Mac Veagh today. The decl-
sion against the retention of the for
mer political warrior from Iowa in one
OF the choicest billets in the federal
service in New York state will not sur
prise those familiar with political con.
ditions. Secretary MacF Feagh already
has General Clarkson successor in
mind, but is not prepared to make any
announcement.

A close friend Of Mr.. Clarkson said
tonight that developments would show
that the action taken at Washington

there would be some interesting DIS
closures in Mr.. Clarksou s favor.

PHILADELPHIA. May 13.-Resoutions

MORE LEISURE IN DAYTIME
PROPOSED CHANGE OF WORK
HOURS IN DEPARTMENTS.
Secretary Meyer Considering sug-
gestion to Open at 8 Am. and
Close at $3.50.

Consideration is being given by the
Navy Department to changing the hours
Of duty in that department so the en-
ployes may have more hours Of daylight
for recreation during the summer months
in a similar manner to the English day
light law. 1t has been suggested by
Commander Edward Everett Hayden OF
the naval observatory that the hour OF
beginning duty during the months OF
June. July, August and September be
changed from am. to am. and the
hour for ending work be fixed at 3:3G
pm, instead Of 4:30 pm.
Commander Hayden is q lover Of base
ball and other outdoor sports, and his
suggestion was made in the interest OF
the large number Of government en-
ployes having athletic inclinations. The
adoption Of his suggestion would give
them another hour OF daylight for the
enjoyment Of games in the open air. The
admit that the plan would necessitate a
general rearrangement Of railroad sched-
ules, both steam aand street cars, and
hours for meals, as well as change IL
the hours for opening and closing OF
stores and business houses generally. Al
the same time, however, 1t is argued
that the benefits resulting to health and
happiness of a large proportion OF the
community would more than compen-
safe for the Inconvenience of the other
portion of the community.
Under existing rules all the executive
departments close at 12:30 pm. Saturdays
during the months of July. August and
September Whether with the suggested
s o'clock plan they should close an hour
earlier is a question for future considera-
tiOn.
Without committing himself for or
against the proposition. Secretary Meyer
has submitted the question to vote of
the employees of the Navy Department.
To that end the heads of the different
bureaus and divisions have been instruct
ed to secure the individual opinion of
each of their employees for or against the
proposed change of Office hours. If the
consensus of opinion is for the earlier
hours Secretary Meyer will submit the
matter to the President for cabinet con-
sideration in order to secure uniform ac-
ton in the matter. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the President is authorized
to arrange the hours of labor in the gov
ernment workshops In this city provided
they comply with the legal requirement OF
seven hours work day.

BARTON NAY keep HIS POST
STILL HEAD OF BUREAU, SUP.
POSED TO BE VERDICT.
Finding Of Attorney General - te
Naval Officers Incumbency With
held From Public.

Secretary Meyer today received the
opinion of Attorney General Wickersham
as to the status of Rear Admiral John K
Barton. United States Navy, retired, but
declined to make it public at present.
The question at issue is whether Admira
Barton is still chief Of the bureau OF
steam engineering. Admiral Barton holds
that he is. The President and the Secre-
tary Of the Navy have treated the Office
as vacant.
Although not officially admitted. it is
generally believed that the Attorney Gen.
eral has sustained the opinion that the
retirement Of Admiral Barton did not in
itself vacate the Office Of chief Of the
bureau Of steam engineering. II that is
so Admiral Barton will remain chief OF
that bureau until his successor shall have
been nominated and confirmed by the
Senate.
Admiral Barton was appointed to the
bureau position for a term of four years,
and the appointment was confirmed by
the Senate. Several months ago he was
taken Ill. Examination by naval physi-
clans resulted in his transfer to the re-
tired list
Thereupon Rear Admiral Capps, chief
Of the bureau Of construction and repair,
was placed in charge Of the bureau Of
steam engineering, in accordance with the
plans Of Secretary Newberry to consoli-
date the two bureaus. Subsequently oppo-
sition developed to the consolidation. Sec
retary Meyer decided to appoint Lieut..
Commander II. !. Cone as chief of the
bureau of steam engineering.
In the meantime Admiral Barton re-
covered his health and reported his readi-
ness to resume his bureau duties. Ii was
claimed on his behalf that he still held
that Office under his presidential commits
sion, confirmed by the Senate, despite the
fact of his retirement. His capacity for
active duty had been demonstrated by the
fact that he had been given other re-
sponsfble duties by the department.
Judge Advocate General Campbell Of the
navy, to whom the matter was first re-
ferred, sustained the position taken by
Admiral Barton. 1t was then decided to
have the Attorney General pass on the
question.

BOIL WEEVIL FIGHT
STILL GOING ON.
Commission Says Plants Should

vember.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Baton Rouge, Aug. 11.-An in
teresting bulletin concerning the
fight against the cotton boil weevil
was published today by the Louis
lana Crop Pest Commission. In the
first place it advises farmers to de-
stroy cotton plants by October Is
or November l. In summarizing the
results of experiments uron which
advice to the planters is based the
Crop Pest Commission says that in
September 1908, lot of live, ac-
tive adult boil weevils were gath
cred in cotton fields and placed in an
experimental cage. No growing cot
ton was in any cage in which the in
sects were placed, and thus the wee
wills were deprived of all food. Out
of 1887 adult weevils collected in
fields on September~2, 1908, 2S lived
throughout the winter. Of 1,1O9
gathered in the fields October 5,
fifteen lived until spring. Of 1,132
weevils collected October 12.
sixty-two lived throughout the win
ter This means that on planta-
lions where the cotton plants were
destroyed before October Is only
three per cent of the weevils sur
vivsd the winter to infest the sue
ceeding years crop.

| ing down this channel, nothing can
ever change it back to its old route
THE greatest example of deltas
is that of the Yellow River in China,
whose mouth has moved back and
forth 600 miles. Every overflow
kills a few hundred thousand and the
Chinese look on and say it can not
be helped. The mouth of the Missis-
sippi has moved east and west 200
to 300 miles.
Now this land in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley is exceptionally rich
and is worth protecting. OF course
those whose lands are overlooked are
subject to great lloss. Still their
lands are left enriched. But every
one is a loser The stories about this
last flood have been greatly exagger-
ated, but there was serious damage.
l expected flood last year, but we do
not want a flood again At present
it has hurt us in the North. No
land is selling, because they all say,
oh, you have awful floods 1t
has hurt the sale of lands
Now we have two courses-the
Chinese one of sitting down and do
ing nothing or getting up and stop
ping these floods 1t is not a great
undertaking to stop them either.
There are four or perhaps five places
on this side of the river where the
banks are so low that there is likeli-
hood of food waters getting over and
into this drainage area The highest
estimate for building substantial
levees to protect these is from $780,
900 to 100000.
Some people have claimed that
we have no right to thus levee the
river as this drainage channel is a
part of the Rio Grande River and
that the United States will be in
trouble with Mexico if this is done.
The history of every other river
reads to the contrary, and there is no
doubt that the land owner has a right
to keep the water off his property.
This has been done here already.
The Mercedes canal has been leveed
for three miles at its intake and the
Mission Canal for seven miles.
THE rain storm before the flood
demonstrated that we must look after
the drainage. Seven to eight inches
of rain fell in that storm, in some
sections, and the rain flooded large
parts of our and other lands. One
of the agents of the United States
Agricultural Department, who has
been studying the drainage question
in the valley, called on me recently,
and advised that drainage systems
be built in connection with irrigat-
ing canals. else the soil will in time
become water logged and rendered
useless.
Flood care and drainage go to-
gether. Narrow bitches should be
cut from pool to pool connecting these
channels This would cost /
about $4,000. The total cost OF
both would be about dollar an acre +
to levee and provide a drainage chan
mel We would have to pay interest
on this and return it in forty pay
ments. or about $4,000 a year for re-
