COMMITTEE FAVORS
CLERKS PENSIONS
Retirement of Employees Probable - Senator Cummins'
Bill to Reach Senate From Pigeonhole-Majority
Favor Reporting Such Measure.

The first important legislative step to-
ward the establishment of pension and
retirement system for the clerks ana
employees in the civil service is likely
to be taken In a short time by the Sem
ate Committee on Civil Service.
Following a meeting of that commit
tee, last night, II was given out by
Senator Cummns, chairman, that the
bill, which he has introduced will prob
ably be reported to the Senate at an
carly date, with a favorable recon-
mendation.
Senator Cummins believes that such a
report will be forthcoming next week.
At the meeting of the csSnmittee, last
night the sentiment of a majority of
the committee was apparently in favor
of the bill.
The me citing last night was the second
one the committee has held to consider
the Cummins measure. At the first
meeting, about a week ago, the bill de-
Neloped considerable strength in COM
mittee. Last night 1t developed more.
And while no formal vote has been
taken to report It, Senator Cummins,
who has been working for months on
the question of a retirement system, ex-
presses himself as much encouraged.
Cummins Is Encouraged.
II the committee does maze favor
able report and the bill comes before
the Senate for discussion of itf merits,
1t will be a long and momentous ster
in the direction of esta blishment Of a
pension and retirement system. II
will mean. among other things, that
Senators who are in favor Of doing
something to relieve the conditions here
caused by the presence Of many aged
clerks and employees in the classified ser
vice will have opportunity to present
the case of the clerks in the open to
the Senate.
One Of the great obstacles in the way
of getting any legislation in the past
has been the impossibility or getting

RAILWAY SALE NOT
CONF F|RMED HERE
Neither General Manager
Nor Counsel Knows
of Deal.

Confirmation OF details OF the sale
of the Chesapeake Beach railway, re-
ported i'm a dispatch from Denver this
morning, are lacking in this city. Paul
Y. Waters. general manager Of the
road, said today he had received no
notification of a sale. Neither has J.
S. Flannery, general counsel of the
company.
The affairs Of the MoffatV estate have
been handled by Kurnal r.. Babbitt. of
New York, and Joseph G. Helm, of
Denver 1t Is known, however. that the
executors of the estate have been seek
ing for the past year to liquidate II,
and IL was regarded both by Mr..
Waters and Mr.. F'lannery as entirely
probable that the railway line running
from Hyattsville and Chesapeake juno
tion to Chesapeake Beach, which rep
resents an Investment of over $1,000 00O
by the late David II. Mofatt, of Den
YER, has been sold
w. F. Jones, president Of the road, is
in New York today, and is expected to
return to Washington tomorrow. Mr..
Waters said that F. J. Lisman. of New
York, the reported purchaser had been
over the property, inspecting 1t, within
the past two months.
According to the dispatch from Den.

II enacted into law, II will mean that
I'm the next twenty years the Govern
ment will pay out about $t2,G0a6OO for
the pensioning OF Government clerks
While this, as Senator Cumnlins points
out, Is a large SUN, on the other hand
the .fovernment will save enorn,ously
in the securing of increased efficiency
in the servlce. The losses In service
TODAY by reason of approximation are

them tinto trouble it is safe to con-
clude that more time might have
been spent advantageously by their
parents on their bringing up.
When such boys are lured into
trouble or death by foolish or
vicious women We say that it is
TOO bad but it is doubtful If the
youth of the victims or the folly of
the women in this case will excuse
any of them. So why withhold
Judgment? What good will it do?

all there is for any of us, actors in
