STRIP KAISER OF POWER
c|ericaIs Force Through OBJ
jectionabIe Amendment to
AiSace-Lorraine Measure.

BERLIN, February 16-Chancellor Won
Bethmann Hollweg today requested a
postDonement Of the discussion of the
constitution proposed for Alsace-Lor-
raine. in order to give the government
opportunity to consider the amendment
adopted by a committee of the reichstag.
This is a direct outcome of the differ
ences between the bundesrath and the
reichstag as to the conditions under
which the new state shall enter the Ger
man empire, and the move of the chan
cellor is thought to be preliminary to the
withdrawal of the governments proposal
Of political equality for AlsaceLorraine.
AS drawn by the government and adopt
ed by the bundesrath the constitution
gave the new state no representation in
the bundesrath, as it was designed ap-
parently not to increase Prussian infiu-
ence. The committee of the reichstag,
the reichsland three votes in the bundles
rath. thus permitting 1t to enter the en-
pire full -fedged federal state. Yester-
day, in direct opposition to the wishes of
the government, the clerical element of
tn. committee forced through another
amendment striking out the clause which
gave the emperor the exercise of execu-
tive authority and substituted a provision
for a regent practically free of imperial
control and influence. 1t was anticipated
that the government would not accept
these notifications of, it's plan.

Dismissed March I,
NEARLY ALL FROM DISTRICT
Local Appointments 600 in Excess of
Proper Apportionment.
CHIEFS OF DIVISION NOTIFIED
Unfortunates Will be Informed Of
Their Fate Saturday, Giving
Them Ten Days Notice.

The temporary force at the census bu-
reau will be reduced by the dismissal OF
1Iu employees March 1. Information con-
cerning the coming reduction in the num-
Der of clerks was made public today
All but three of the 1I6 employees who
will be dismissed are from the District of
Columbia >
The District employees have been singled
out for the coming reduction. it is ex-
planned. merely because the District OF
Columbia received number of an
pontments in the census bureau far in
excess of it's proper apportionment under
the law, which provided that the states
and territories should receive appoint
ments according to the size of their popu-
lations The law provided, however, that
If the census bureau could not obtain
sufficient employees from the eligible lists
in the various states the director of the
census should be allowed to make ap-
pointments from the District of Columbia
and nearby states whose eligible lists had
not been exhaus 1t was found that
the states would not furnish enough
necessarily fell back upon the District of
Columbia and Maryland and Virginia to
make up the list
The Dismissed Employees.
OF the 116 employees who are to go
March L. 50 are in the division which has
had to do with getting out the agricultural
statistics Of the country, 30 more are in
the division which has handled the popu-
lation of the country, 10 are in the divf-
sion Of manufactures, and are in the
chief clerks Office.
All are clerks. except 6, who are en-
ployed as laborers.
The chiefs of division were notified to-
day of the impending changes and the
clerks will be notified Saturday, thus Civ
ing them ten days notice.
Far in Excess of Apportionment.
1t was stated at the census Office to-
day that the District of Columbia, Mary
land and Virginia combined had about
600 appointments in excess of the num-
Der rigbtfully allowed them under the
apportionment plan. 1t will be necessary,
therefore, to dismiss 800 more of the Dis
who received appointments from Mary
land. 1t will then be necessary to dis
miss % more of the District employees
and 10 who come from Maryland before
Virginia appointeeS are reached. Lastly il
will be necessary to dismiss - more from
the District and 30 from MARYLAND and
Virginia before the other states quota is
touched.
The coming reduction is in line with
the policy of the bureau to reduce its
force as the work of the thirteenth CEN
sus is completed From time to time still
further reductions will be made.

had a relatively calm night, and early to-
day his temperature was found to have
fallen during the night from 100 to 90,
only half a degree above normal.
Dr. Giuseppe Petacci, private physician
to his holiness, visited the sick chamber
this morning and remained long time.
He considers that the disease is taking
it's normal course.
DR.. Ettore Marchiafava. consulting
physician to the Pope, has not been called
into the case yet, and this fact seems to
indicate that the illness is not serious.
The patient, however, is suffering some
Inconvenience because of congestion of

NEW YORK, February 16-With the
aid of a big revolver and the corporation
of pals in waiting automobile, masked
bandit early today attempted to hold up
the clerk of the Hotel Frederick on West
56th street. just off Broadway, below
Central Park. The attempt failed be-
cause Robert G. Barnard, the clerk, grap-
pied with the bandit after the latter had
fired one shot and wounded him in the
hand, and because the robbers revolver
twice missed fire when he tried to follow
up his first shot by two more at close
range.
The bandit and his companions got
away in the automobile without having
gotten anywhere within reaching distance
of $4OO in cash which had just been
placed in the hotel safe
Masked Robber Well Dressed.
Barnard had just finished figuring up
the nights receipts in the Office at the
end of long corridor when a well
dressed man wearing black mask quiet
ly walked upsto the desk. In his right
hand was a revolver. AS Barnard looked
up the man whispered:
Hold up your hands, or I'll blow your
head off,
Dazed for a few seconds. Barnard did
not move, and then the man said:
II want all the money you've got"
Hypnotism Didn't Work.
Barnard for some time has been study
ing hypnotism, and as he started to raise
his hands he thought he might hypnotize
the man. He extended his right hand to-
ward the bandit, but the latter was not
to be hypnotized and fired The bullet
grazed Barnard's hand and made an
ugly wound.
Barnard and two hall boys. who heard
the shot, jumped for the bandit. who
pulled the trigger of his revolver twice
more, but the shells failed to explode.
Before the trio could get a good hold on
him the robber ran through the corridor
and out into 56th street There he
jumped into waiting automobile and
the machine darted away at top speed.
Scores of guests. who were awakened
by the shots. flocked to the corridor in
a panic, which the hotel management
and police were some time in allaying.
There is no clue to the identity of the
raiders.
