view Of the provision of the District
appropriation bill of 1905, that no civil
officer or other emplove shall be paid
from any appropriation for contingent
expenses or for any specific or general
purpose unless such employment is at
thorized and payment therefor specific
ally provided. and then only for ser
siceS actually performed.
IL thus appears that per diem en-
Dloyes at present are not entitled 20
leave of absence. there being no per
diem employees specifically provided FOR
whose services are continuous. the pro-
visions in the various appropriation acts
simply providing for such employees as
are temporarily required.
In an endeaNOr 10 correct these con-
citions the Commissioners at the last
session Of Congress recommended that
they be authorized TO grant leave not
exceeding two and half days per
month with pay and pay for legai holt
days TO such per diem employees as are
not appointed specifically and in writing
by the Commissioners. Tits provision
was favorably acted upon in the Senate

some provision for granting leave OF alb

WILL GET NO LEAVE
Temporary Workers on District Payroll Cut Off From
Holidays With Pay by Ruling of the Cor
poration Counsel

After July the go per diem employees
Of the District will not be entitled to
annual leave nor will they be paid for
legal holidays. Such is the ruling of
the Corporation Counsel, approved by
the Commissioners.
The question as to the right of per
diem employees TO leave Of absence was
raised by Auditor Tweedale In the
law making appropriations for the ex-
penses OF the Government Of the Dis
trict for the flscal year 1906 Congress.
after an extended hearing on the sub
jet. abolished the per diem positions
filled by regular employees whose serv-
ices were continuous and provided posi-
lions for them with annual compensa-
lions. The per diem employees now in
the service are regarded only as tenn
pOrary employees.
In thus creating positions vith annual
salaries for employees previously en-
plOyed continually on a per diem basis.
for whose benefit the law authorizing
leaves Of absence was passed, it is held
that the provisions Of the law granting
such leaves is imperative. especially in

He met the GouIds at the St Regis
on January "a. 1905, but the court de-
elined to permit him 20 enter into a de-
tailed description of the management
Of the estate
Did YOU ever see Mrs. Gould under
the influence of hquor?" Nicoli de-
handed

lengthy legal argument followed
Shearn alleging that under the Nea
York State law drunkenness was no.
legal grounds for separation, and tina
therefore this was NOT defense.
NicolI Opposes.
NicolI opposed this and stated thai
habitual drunkenness was good ground
for demanding a legal separation. The
court finally ruled that 'habitual
drunkenness would be justification.
but he added: Isolated cases. however.
would not be sufficient"
When Shearn continued arguing, the
court said:
Il believe that not only in the eyes
of the law. bur also from the stand
point of morals, a husband should
demonstrate With his wife, when she
becomes addicted to the use Of liquor,
but if she persists in drinking. / don't

habitual drunkard"
Malloy was then asked to give dates
in 1906, when he saw Mrs. Gould in

snapped out: These alterations

The court then ruled that Gould's
must show that Mrs. Gould
was intoxicated, and that nothing else
would be permitted TO be brought into
the record
Continuing, Malloy declared that
"a bout the middle OF July he saw Mrs.
Gould under the influence of liquor
of some sort"
The following day. he swore, she
had champagne for luncheon and rep
him. she was very excited
and rushed upstairs, and 7 won't say
that she lunged, but she certainly did
not walk as she usually did.
