UNCLE SAM GIVES
A HALF HOLIDAY
Government Clerks 60 Home
or Somewhere Else.

Government clerks went to their
homes or somewhere else after / o'clock
yesterday afternoon. It was their first
Saturday half holiday this summer.
They will enjoy this privilege through
July, August, and September.
Under the Executive order issued by
President Taft two years ago, the heads
Of the executive departments are au-
thorized to excuse all clerks who can
be spared without detriment to public
interests at / o'clock Saturday after
noon during the three hot months.
Four continuous hours of labor on
Saturday is all, that is required OF
them. No intermission for luncheon Is
allowed. however. All clerks work
right through from 8 to o'clock, when
they are free to seek rest from their
labors until Monday morning.
Not all OF the heads OF departments
have promulgated the necessary Exec
utfve orders regarding the half-holiday,
but they are expected to do SO within
the next week.
Many outings on the river and at
nearby resorts are being arranged.
and 'week-ends" among the govern
ment employees promise to be more pop
ular than ever.

In PERIL OF LIVES
Fire Marshal Files Report
on Office Buildings.

That scores Of clerks employed in the
Patent ONCE and the Land once build
ings OF the Department of the Interior
are in peril of their lives is the belief
of Fire Marshal P. w. Nicholson, who,
at the request of Clement s. Ucker, chief
clerk OF the Interior Department, has re-
Gently made an exhaustive investigation,
the report Of which he filed with the
Commissioners yesterday.
A committee. consisting of Chief En-
gineer Hill, Capt. Ozburn,' and Chief
Electrician Gibson, of the Interior De-
partment, conducted the fire marshal
through the buildings and the vulnerable
points Of both edifices were carefully
noted.
The points where danger would be the
greatest in case OF fire, according to the
report, is where documents are piled on
shelves which stand so close together
that II once ignited they would form q
wall of fire, which would be difficult to
extinguish. In the cellars of the Patent
Office, on the Seventh street side, Fire
Marshal Nicholson found a barrel of
gasoline standing with some oil barrels
in an unprotected condition.
Conditions almost as bad where found
IN the Land once Building There is a
great amount of wood shelving through
out the building which Is said by Fire
Marshal Nicholson to be highly COM
bustible.

supposed to have. It seems such q petty
hold-up, too. To take away a dozen
tumblers which formerly did duty at the
four faucets seems unworthy OF g great
corporation like the terminal company.
Why don't they establish q charge for
the use CT their seats in the main watt
ing room, or for other conveniences?,'
Lawyers say the station officials are
within their rights in aboiishing a con-
venience which they voluntarily esrab-
lished. and which is not protected by
law. II the travelling public could in
some manner make known its feelings
on the question, and make an emphatic
protest TO the terminal company, how
ever. II Is possible the drinking cup
would be restored.
Another vigorous complaint heard at
the Union Station results from the re-
Gently established custom OF making up
passenger trains at the far end Of the
train shed. This is done every morning
when there are strings OF empty tracks.
BY the trains standing at the far end
of the train shed. passengers are COM
PEELED to walk nearly an eighth Of mile
to board the trains. In = number Of
Instances persons who arrived late at
the Union Station have missed their
trains. There Is talk Of bringing this
matter to the attention Of the officials Of
the railroads.
