IN FAVOR OF.
PENSION BILL
Government Employees Like
HammilI's Bill.
CFrom the NEWS Correspondent.)

Washington, May 11.-Whatever
may be the view of the average citi-
zen in relation to the proposed civil
service pension scheme, as introduced
in the form a bill in the House, by
Representative Hammill, of the
Tenth New Jersey District, there is
already enthusiastic approval of the
measure by the thousands of govern
ment employees In Washington who
would come under its provisions.
Mr.. Hammill himself is enthusiastic
about the bill and is prepared to
make a vigorous argument for its
favorable consideration.
1.-THE enactment into law of a
measure embodying the principles
involved in my measure" Mr.. Ham
mill says, would place u great
government in line with the best
thought of the present day On the
subject of approximation as practic-
ed for years by the principal gov
of Europe, by many of the
municipalities of this country and by
our great industrial and railroad in
terests.
Germany has retired its civil
employees on this basis for one hum
dred years and England for fifty
years. One third of the municipal
ties In the United States now pro
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-05-12

vide outright for the pensioning of
police, firemen and school teachers.
During the last decade there has
been an increasing tendency on the
part Of Jul city and state govern
ments as we'll as public service cor
porations and Industrial establish
ments to provide for the retirement
of superannuated and disabled en-
ployees.
Fifty per cent. of the men now
employed upon the railroads Of our
country are pensioned after faithful
service without reduction from their
salaries. The International Harvest
er Company, with $4,000 employees,
provides annuity without contribu-
ton from salary to every employee
who has reached the age Of sixty
five after having served twenty years
or more. Twenty-Five of the leading
railroads of the country maintain
pension funds without cost to the
employees. Among them are the
Pennsylvania and It's branches, New
York Central, New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford, Southern Pacific,
Union Pacific, Delaware, Lackawan-
ma & Western, and Baltimore &
Ohio. Other Industrial and mechan-
ical concerns providing in this man
ner are the United States Steel Cor
poration, with a retirement fund of
S12,000,000; Edison Electrical Light
Company, Old Dominion Steamship
Company, Bank of New York City,
First National Bank of Pittsburg,
Pa, and Merchants National Bank of
Baltimore.

PROOF OF
CONFESSION
Mechanical Shown TO be In
City at the Time.

Los Angeles, Cal, May ~12,-Shown a
photograph of excursiorrsts who visit
ed San Gabriel mission the morning Of
Dec. % last, Orte e. McManigal
promptly pointed to the picture Of him
self standing beneath a palm tree in
the rear of the crowd, substanttating
his confession that he was in Los
Angeles at that time and that he came
to this city to dynamite the LleweIlyn
Iron works. Later several other per-
son identified the picture.
District Attorney Fredericks regards
this as the most important evidence
since McManigal was brought here.
Heretofore the only evidence of his
presence here was that afforded by his
own confession and a fictitious name
On a hotel register, which he said he
wrote. AS there were a hundred or
more people in the excursion party, it
is believed a number will be found
who can remember McManigaI. He
says he talked with several men on
the trip. The guide, conductor and
motorman have been located already.
The discovery of the picture is ad-
mttted to be a hard blow to the de-
tense.

The race will begin at ASS o'clock,
soon after the ball game.
Jimmie Fitzgerald has been put back
somewhat of late by suffering from
sunburn, but yesterday he started out

sition and is figuring on how he can
beat his men. He has sized them up
and knows exactly where he must

been working faithfully right along for
the past few weeks and are In excellent
condition. The public win no doubt be
surprised to see how Scharsh can run.

PICK WAIKANE
AS landing

AS the result of their trip to the
windward side of the island ycster-
day the Board of Tlarbor Commission
ers have decided that the $1,000 ap-
propriated by the last Legislature for
u boat landing is to be expended at
Waikane. The commissioners looked
over three possible sites and picked
out this place with the proviso that
the county builds road 1000 feet in
length in order to connect with the
main road.
On that side of the island the flats
run right out toward the open sea and
there are not many places where even
a landing can be made by boats. At
Waikane, however, by running the
wharf out about four or five hun
bred feet, twelve feet of water can
be got. Whether this will be done or
not is now up to the Supervisors. The
main road at the present time runs
parallel with the beach and unless the
connecting spur is built then the new
wharf would be useless.
The land through which the road
would run is owned by Link McCand-
less and an Hawaiian. Chairman
Marston Campbell, G. J. Mccarthy, +.
y. McStocker and Emil Berndt made
the trip, being taken to Kaneohe by
automobile and there picked UP by
Eben Low in the steamer Mokolii.
