Referring to the charges which have
been brought against the Weather Bu-

ment Of experts, 1t was stated yesterday
at the bureau that at 10 time has Father
Odenbach, the director Of the Seismolog-
icaI Observatory at Cleveland. been in
the employ Of the Weather Bureau, and
he has never received a dollar of COM
pensation from the bureau. This is be-
cause he declined employment which. en-
tirely in accordance with law, was Of
fered to him.
The Weather Bureau, 1t is stated, has
made chronological observations during
the entire time that Mr.. Moore has been
at the head Of the service and tor many
years before. The reason that the word
archaeological" was not included in the
appropriation bill, as was explained in
writing by the chairman of the Appro-
priations Committee. was that In the
opinion OF the committee the bureau al
ready had ample authority for the TAX
ing of chronological observations, and
the appropriation bill specifically provides
for pay of special observers"
