Postmaster General
Vigorously Assails
Five-Year Tenure

Postmaster General Hitchcock to-
day attacked in vigorous language
the privision for a five-year civil
service tenure contained in the House
appropriations bill.
Mr.. Hitchcock gave brief but point
ed expression of his views directly
to the Senate with relation to this
provision and other items affecting
the Postoffice Department. Later in
an interview he reiterated his stand,
as pronounced six months ago, for
the betterment of the army of Gov
ernment employees in Washington.
There is no doubt that these work.
ers should be rewarded with a pen
sion system" said Mr.. Hitchcock, in
stead of having their tenure of office
limited In any way that would de-
stroy their peace OF mind and in a
way their efficiency in the service.
The worried man is not a good work
er. AS / have stated before, | am
strongly in favor of pensions for all
Government workers, and VI would
be a shame on the eve of the ac-
complishment of this much needed
work to have the tenure of the clerks
limited to five years as proposed"
The Postmaster General called at
tention to the fact that this legis-
alton would affect from twenty Ave
to thirty thousand Government work
ers in Washington. and would in an
appreciable measure destroy the Sc
curity of their employment.

racy continued today to meet. talk,

mittee met In the Offices of F. l.. Sid

Grated both morning and afternoon. It
was voted to call q meeting of the whole
central committee for Monday evening
at place to be designated. The central
committee will then receice a report
from the subcommittee regarding legal
action. The Newmanites wish to force
a count of all the ballots cast at the
primaries and to do this they must get
possession of them from J. Fred Kelley,
chairman of the old central commit
tee, who has the ballots locked In his
safe.
Kelley has been close to National
Committeeman Newman all along, but
now seems to be hanging onto the bal
lots, and says he will turn them over
only o,I,, 10 the Democratic national COM
nittee. The Newman forces have
about made up their minds to 10 into
court over the ballots on Monday or
Tuesday. w. ]. Neale. an attorney OF
their forces. and Mr. Siddons held a
Kind OF suit to file.
Meantime Walter J. Costello held a
conference with the managers OF the
champ Clark campaign in the Ebbitt
House. 1t was suggested that II Kel-
ley refuses to turn over funds on hand
to te nhew central committee. elected
by the regular Costello convention a
meeting of the old committee can be
called and Kelley deposed.
Leaders OF the Darr-Carr- Benton fac
ton also gathered and deliberated. In
| order to keep up with the game. they
also discussed filing suit against Kelley
Each OF the three factions Is watching
the other two in respect to the matter
of litigation. and none is really eager
to begin court action. but II one suit Is
filed the other two parties will inter-
vene at once.
At Clarke headquarters statement
was issued this morning declaring that
the Speaker will control thirty of
the members Of the national committee
which meets at Baltimore June 20 and
will hear contests. This.is a good work
| ing majority.
Edwin A. Newman Is talking of suing
| Lafe Pence, one of Speaker Clarks
| managers and a Baltimore delegate on
| the Costello list. for alleged slander.
Mr.. Newman said that he had not def
| nitely made up his mind about II. The
| alleged slander occurred In the course
| OF an address following the bolt from
| the convention by Newman and the
Darr-Carr forces.

by a rattlesnake bite, md the baby, one
year old, was drowned in a washtub.
Mrs. Adams was washing clothes in
the yard, the children nearby. Squawls
were heard from setting men on her
nest, and Mrs. Adams told the eight
year-old boy to throw the hen off the
nest. The boy put his hand in the nest
and Withdrew II with a cry that the
hen had pecked him. The second boy
went after the hen, but quickly
screamed that the hen had pecked him.
Mrs. Adams left the year-old baby near
the washtub and hurried to the boys
In the nest, to her horror, she found
a rattesnake, and recognized that it was
the snake that had bitten the boys. In
her anxiety to do something for the
injured boysI she forgot her baby, and
when she got back TO the washtub
found the baby had climbed into the
water in the tub and was drowned. The
two boys bitten by the rattesnake died
the same day, and the three children
were buried together.

CLUB MINES IN
GAME FOR CHARITY
Metropolitan and Chevy Chase
Players Have Annual
Struggle.

With the lines of etiquette faulty
drawn, the slang of the diamond
usurped by polite "don't-cher- knows"

male attire of the foppish fans
strange to say--is hardly out of con-
trast to the society boys at play. Side
long looks Of love and restrained ap-
plause from groups Of bashful girls,
checked in their enthusiasm by the re-
proachful glances of society's dowagers,
are goading the players to their best
in the cause of sweet charity.
No time was set for the length Of the
game. The players are gcing TO play
until TIE Yhave finished the nine in
nnSs. No arrangements, however,
have been made for lighting the park
