WICKERSHAM FOR
RETIREMENT PLAN
Makes Plea for Clerks in An
nUal Report.
REVIEWS TRUST DECISIONS
Attorney General Says Sherman
Law Is Effective and Suggests
Enhancement of the Bureau of
Corporations to Supervise the
Creation of Lawful Mergers.

One of the salient features of Attorney
General Wickersham's annual report is
his vigorous advocacy of retirement leg
islation for government clerks. He pays
a tribute to the employees of his own
Office, saying they have done extra work
without extra compensation, and making
clear his belief that they are worthy of
some legislation along the lines Whlch
are now being urged.
The Attorney General makes the fol-
lowing statement regarding the clerks:
Although the force in the immediate
department was crippled during the year
by the serious ILLNESS of several members
of the staff, yet the work has been
promptly disposed of, and a high stand
ard of efficiency has BEEN maintained.
The clerical force of the department has
had an arduous year. Because OF the In
crease in the volume and pressure OF the
work, I deemed ii necessary, some time
ago, in the exercise OF the powers con-
ferred upon me by law, to increase the
hours of attendance of the clerical force
at the department half an hour, making
the prescribed hours from a. M to .
p m. daily except during the three sum-
mer months. Besides this, they have
cheerfulIy performed without additional
compensation much extra work Whlch
could not be done except after regular
the classified service are not large, and
they have, therefore, very little oppor-
tunity for saving.
Force Is Harmonious.
Some provision should be made by
Congress by way of a retirement law to
secure to faithful service over many years
at least that ordinary need of justice
which is coming to be recognized as due
from all private employers under similar
circumstances. The professional men,
bers OF the department know no hours;
tney have toiled early and late. l take
great pleasure in recording my apprecia-
"t.on OF the untiring, earnest, loyal, and
enthusiastic cooperation OF both the pro-
fessunal ana the clerical force of the
Department OF Justice.
In "A lengthy discussion of the anti
trust law prosecutions and decisions, the
Attorney General says the decisions in
the oil and tobacco cases have demon
strated ;hut the Sherman law is effec-
tive.
He maintains. however, that neither
the courts nor the Department of Justice
Is fitted to work cut reorganization of
combin Itions which have been adjudEed
illegal. He suggests enlargement of the
Bureau OF Corporations to aid in this
work.
Eleven trust cases are pending in the
courts. and sixteen new trust proseCu-
tons have been started during the last
year. The Department of Justice has
succeeded in bringing fOrty-siX criminal
indictments against railroads and ship
pers for violations of the rebate law in

Generous Response on First
Day of Announcement.

Scarcely had the Office of the Associated
Charities opened yesterday morning be-
fore Opportunity No. A. was subscribed
foo by one generOus-hearted woman, who
volunteered to pay the 81 a week asked
for. Other responses came in so prompt
ly that at the close Of the first day Sill
had been received in pledges and gifts
for the fourteen families. There was
something for everybody. One gentleman
wanted to take a 81 share" as char
liable investment in each of the fourteen
opportunities, but he was too late for
No. 4, the old couple. There are still,
however, two old couples left to be pro-
vided for. Besides, there are two fami-
lies, where the would-bS> wage-earner is
blind. There are five widows. two de-
serted wives, one wage-earner whose
husband is hopelessly i'll, and one young
man making a brave fight against the
white plague. Besides these eighteen
adults. there are forty-four children, or
sixty-two persons in all, who will be
made happy for 365 days il these four
teen Christmas opportunities are sub
scribed for.

H. B. LITTLEPAGE DEAD.

Navy Department Loses One of Its
Picturesque Characters.
In the death yesterday OF Hardine Bev-
eriy Littlepage. the Navy Department
lost one of its most picturesque char
acters. He served in both the United
States and Confederate navies and par
rticipated in many of the bloodiest naval
engagements of the civil war. Since 1889
he had been connected with the Navy
and Interior departments, devoting most
Of his time to the collection of records
Of the civil war.
Mr.. Littlepage was born in King Will
lam County, Va, in 1S41, and was ap-
pointed a midshipman from that State.
He resigned from the United States navy
and Joined the Conferedate navy in 1861.
He served as lieutenant on the Confed-
crate ram Merrimac, in the engagement
with the Monitor, and in the fight at
Drewrey'S Bluff.

DEFENDS sHUsTER's COURSE.
DIR. David Starr Jordan Says Ameri-
can Has Right Idea.

Il consider Mr.. Shuster's course in
Persia with regard to Russia as entirely
tustifiable,' declared DIR. David Starr
Jordan, Of Leland Stanford University,
who passed through Washington yester-
day.
I'm view Of this fact, do not see how
Russia can bring enough pressure to bear
upon Persia to warrant the dismissal Of
Shuster. Mr.. Shuster is in a very I'M
enyiable position. 1t is plain case OF
having to deal with Russian timber
thieves on the north, and British oil
thieves on the south of Persia. They
wish to grasp Persia's last resources, and
this is why Russia and England stand
together on this Shuster proposition"
