OILING STATIONS FOR NAVY.
Matter Considered in Connection
With San Diego Estimates.

"Oiling stations for the navy, instead
OF "coanng stations" is one OF the pro-
posals that Secretary Meyer is now con-
sidering In connection with the future
OF the navy. A plan is under considera.
ton for the conversion of the coaling sta
ton now In process of construction al
San Diego. Cal. into an oiling station, SO
that the ships of the navy may replenish
their supply of fuel Oil should its use
be adopted extensively in the generation
of motive power at sea.
Representative Smith of California had
a conference with Secretary Meyer today
In regard to the subject. The proposition
to change the nature OF the station at San
Diego has delayed work there. The delay
is also factor in determining the amount
which Congress will appropriate for the
improvement of the harbor at San Diego.
For the improvement Of the harbor for
commercial purposes an estimate for an
appropriation of S125.O8 is said to have
received favorable consideration. II the
navy shall desire to use the harbor for its
big ships for coaling or oiling in the i'm
mediate future. another S125.OOO will be
necessary, probably, in order to dredge
out kidney of land" lying within the
harbor.
Secretary Meyer will endeavor to de-
ternline shortly what the course of the
Navy Department will be In reference to
the improvements at San Diego.

in his possession full report, based
on a most exhaustive examination of

Agent Bruce BielaSki.
Not only as the Presidents political
adviser. but also as a close personal
interested in the case. but neither he
nor Attorney General Wickersham would
say anything at the close of their con-
ference as to what recommendation the
Attorney General will make in the case

along that his reappointment was as
Sured.

discussed by the Attorney General ant

FOR CONTR|BUT0RY Plan
REPORT ON CIVIL SERVICE RE-
TIREMENT BEING PREPARED.
Experience of Great Britain and
New Zealand Shown in Paper
Sent to Senator Cummins.

Upon request of the Senate, recon-
mended by Senator Cummins, part
Of report on civil service retirement
which is being prepared by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor has been
forward to the upper house of Congress
1t holds that a contributory annuity
plan is best for the retirement of super
animated government employees. The re-
port embraces a history of civil service
retirement in Great Britain and New
Zealand. The statement of the British
system is regarded at the department as
particularly valuable.
This system. 1t is explained, has been
in force a great number of years. From
time to time it has been amended and
bettered
Enzland's retirement OF government
employees. it is shown, is by contribu-
tory plan. declared the best of any
tried
THE conclusions to be drawn from,
Great Britan's century of experience in
pensioning its employees are very def
mite, cit is stated in the report. That ex-
perience shows that pensions paid out OF
the public treasury as pure gratuities are
certain to be taken into account in fix
ing salaries, and a pension system thus
becomes, in effect. a contributory system.
LAS soon as the employees realize that
they are contributing to their own pen
sion they at once demand that, on separa-
ton from the service for any cause what
ever the value of their contributions
shall be returned to them in some form

MOVED BY SENTIMENT.
Only Woman Indian Lawyer Tells
Court Her Reasons.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States will decide soon whether Congress
has the right to order the sale OF the
old Wyandotte Indian cemetery in Kan
sas City. Kan. This right has been
challenged by LYDIA B. Conley. herself a
Wyandotte. on the ground that the ceme-
terry land was never coded by the In
dams.
Miss Conley is a lawyer and she has
the distinction of being the only woman
Indian lawyer living. She argued the case
in the Supreme Court and in response
to questions from the bench admitted
that her reasons for resisting the re-
moval Of the bodies from the cemetery
were merely sentimental.
My father and mother are buried
there she told Justice Holmes. who
sympathetically questioned her concern
ing her motives. When told that the
bodies could be taken up and inferred
elsewhere she asked:
What would be left OF a body buried
in blanket fifty years ago."
