PEARY'S CHANCE TO 60 UP.

Representative Bates Of Pennsylvania,

with pay. is confident that his measure
will, receive favorable consideration by
the naval committee and the House at

Roberts of Massachusetts. OF the naval
affairs committee, who does not look with
favor upon the Peary reward proposition

ZOO CLERKS
FROM PENSION OFFICE
Will Be Discharged as Soon
as Work They Are on
Is Completed.

Two hundred clerks are going to be dis
charged from the pension Office as soon
as the work of sorting old useless papers
out of the files has been completed. These
clerks would be discharged Immediately
except for the fact that this work gives
them brief respite.
The commissioner Of pensions gave this
information to the pension subcommittee
of the House appropriation committee
today: The pension bill now is completed
and will be reported for passage some
time next week.
Discouraged by three successive failures
in as many years, Representative keifer
of Ohio, chairman Of the House COM
mittee on pensions, will not endeavor this
year to secure the abolition of eighteen
out of the nineteen pension agencies,
transferring all the business to the exist
ing agency in Washington.
Three times the House has favored this
proportion. while the Senate has refused
to consider it. The members of the
House appropriations committe. say it is
impossible to effect reforms where the
personal interests of senators are con-
cerned.
Would Have Saved 81, 100000.
Chairman Tawney of the appropriations
committee figured out today that had the
eighteen agencies been abolished three
years ago the government would have
saved almost 81 100000.
The agitation in this respect has had one
good effect however. The cost of paying
pensions throughout the country has de-
creased from about $4,O0.0O0 in 1892 to
about $2.OOO,UOO at the present tine, al
though the number of pensioners on the
roll is greater.

The price of gas after January l will

The decision to reduce the price of

The current rate has been 90 cents

The price of gas was reduced about
year ago from 81 TO 90 cents. and the
decision to reduce the price another j
cents has made it evident that the
company found it profitable to manu-
facture gas at the ninety-cent figure
and could afford to make still fur

v. Y. cox MAY RESIGN
ASSCHOOL BOARD HEAD
Press Of Business Likely to
Cause Him to Retire
From Presidency.

William v. Cox probably will resign
from sthe board Of education. The an
nouncement was made in this form to-
of the board has contemplated this action
has been known to several of his friends
for the last few days.
Before the meeting of the board of
education yesterday Mr.. Cox was asked
whether he had sent in his letter of
resignation to the Supreme Court of
the District, which appoints the men,
bers of the board of education. He
said then:
Perhaps 1 have, but would not want
to say SO definitely, because l, do not
know just how the matter will turn out.
If the rumor that l am to resign gets
out the court will be besieged perhaps
with people who are anxious to have the
job. l don't see why any one should
seek it, but such is the case.
If / do resign it will be purely and
simply on account of business interests.
The school matters take up an enormous
amount of time and there simply are
not enough hours a day to get it all in"
Urging Him to Remain.
There is every effort being made by his
friends on the board to induce Mr.. Cox
to remain on the board and as it's presi-
dent. Capt. Oyster is one of the strong
est boosters for Mr.. Cox and is work
ing hard to have Mr.. Cox remain.
In the event that Mr.. Cox resigns. the
logical successor as president Of the
board is William D. Hoover, whose work
as chairman Of the committee on build
ings and sites has formed an important
part Of the work Of the board during the
last two years. There Is also a senti-
ment on the part of some Of the men,
bers that Capt. Oyster might be induced
10 take another short term as president.
Capt Oyster said yesterday to a Star
reporter that his term on the board would
expire in July. 1911. and it looked to him
very much ais if he would step out OF
school matters.
Capt oyster and Mr. Cox both said to-
day and yesterday that the criticisms
contained in the Presidents message
would not influence their action as far as
resigning Is concerned.

Business-Chamber of Com
merce Appoints Committee.

That President Taft and his cabinet are
seriously considering increasing the work
ing hours of the government employees in
Washington by half hour each day is
the report which has spread Wideiy
through number of the government de-
partments today. The matter, it is said,
has already been considered in cabinet
meeting and definite action is expected
before long 1t is not likely that the eX-
ecutive order will go into effect, if at all,
until after the Christmas holidays. it is
said.
Inquiry at a number of the departments
today failed to develop the fact that any
executive order for the clerks to remain
until :, O'Clock at their desks had been
issued.
1t was suggested, however. that the
President might decide to call into effect
the Saturday half holiday all the year
round if the daily hours of work were
increased so that the clerks Will be

Work Greatly Increased.

The work of the government employees
has increase enormously as the work of
the government has increased in the last
few years. The policy of the administra-
tion to maintain strict economy is the
cause. 1t is said. for the proposition to
keep the clerks at work an extra half
hour every day. Unless the clerks work
longer hours. ii is said, it will be neces-
sary to increase the forces of the depart
ments to keep up with the work.
AT present many of the clerks are work
ing until ) or q o'clock. or even until
o'clock at night, 1t was said today. This
10 very busy season OF the year, when
the annual estimates and various reports
called for by Congress are being rushed
through. Many of the government en-
plOyes. il is said, are compelled to work
long after Office hours much of the year,
and to them the order TO increase the
working time until ) O'Clock would mean
little But there are great many clerks
to whom such an order would work a
great hardship.
Approved in Some Quarters.
The suggestion that the departments do
not close until = O'Clock and that the
Saturday half-holiday be in effect all the
year round, met with considerable ap
probation in some quarters today. Such
q plan would please many of the clerks,
and it would also give the officials of the
departments time to get much work ac-
complshed Saturday afternoon after the
departments were closed and visitors bar
red AS IL is. heads of departments and
bureau choefs frequently cannot get down
to real work until after hours because of

The merchants of Washington are much
opposed to closing the departments a
half hour later. saying that it would af-
feet business here.
At the meeting of the board of directors
of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
afternoon the matter was discussed. and
II was decided to appoint a committee to
wait upon the President should it be-
come evident that an executive order for
keeping open the departments until ,
o'clock was Io be issued.
