PENSION LEGISLATION
HANGS FIRE IN SENATE
Committee Debates DolIar-a-
Day Bill, But Adjourns
Without Action.

After discussing general pension legis-
lation for over an hour this morning
the Senate committee on pensions adj
iourned with the general understanding
that some definite action would be taken
at the committees meeting next Mon
day.
ton today that the committee favorably
report the Sherwood dollar-a-day bill.
which has been passed by the House,
and the cost of which has been variously
estimated between SN.OOO,G00 and $780,
OOo.UD. Senator Brown. OF Nebraska sec
ondcd the motion. \ general discussion
followed and the committee adjourned
with the motion still pending.
Minority Report Probable.
Should the motion receive the votes of
a majority of the committee, it is under
stool. Senators Bryan of Florida and
Gore of Oklahoma will bring in a mi
nority report.
Opposition to the Sherwood bill, on &C
count Of its cost, is so great, however.
that It is predicted that a majority of the
committee will favor a substitute bill
costing not over S:.0O00,CO0. Those who
favor this compromise point out that the
condition of the national Treasury does
not warrant a measure with a greater
cost. unless bonds are to be issued with
which TO pay pensions.
Request for Information.
The committee adopted a motion. made
by Chairman McCumber, to ask the pen
sion bureau how long it would take to
determine the length of service of the
pensioners now on the rolls. Such a COM
.pilation would indicate more accurately
the cost of the different pension meas
ures that are pending before the commit
tee. If such a compilation would require
several months Senator Curtis will be
opposed to waiting committee action on
his motion. But should the time be short
two weeks or so--he will probably not
press his motion.

LEADER OF INSURGENTS
M0D|F|ES REFORM BILL
Mr.. Norris Presents Second
Measure for Removing P. O.
D. From Politics.

Representative Norris of Nebraska,
the insurgent republican leader, who
recently introduced bill designed to
take politics out of the Post Office De-
partment, has become doubtful as to
the constitutionality of certain pro-
visions of that measure. Consequently
he introduced today another measure
on the same subject. which is intended
to correct the faults of the first
In this latest reform bill Mr. Norris
proposes to take out of politics the
Postmaster General, who was not af-
fected by the first plan. He provides
that the Postmaster Generals term
shall be for ten years, that he shall
not be removed except for cause, and
that he shall appoint all postmasters
who are now appointed by the Presi-
dent.
Has No Political Duties.
There is no duty of the Postmaster
General that is in any way political or
PARTISAN" said MIR. Norris todav land
If We want to take the Post Office De-
partment out of politics we ought to
take it's head out of politics. l am sat
isfied that this change will add ma
terially to the efficiency of the law"
Following is Mr.. Norris statement in
explanation of the new bill:
after considerable discussion with
members of the committee having 1t in
charge and correspondence with different
persons practically all over the United
States, l have concluded that my former
bill in one respect has at least q doubt as
to its constitutionality. The Constitution
provides that all officers of the United
States must be appointed by the Presi-
dent, but it authorizes Congress to take
away from the President this appointing
power in some instances, and place the
appointment in the heads of departments,
and it would probably be unconstitutional
to take away from the President the pow
er to appoint postmasters, unless we also
provided by law for the appointment of
pOstmasters 10y the Postmaster General,
the head Of the Post Office Department.
Includes Postmaster General.
I'm the bill which I introduced today 1
have undertaken to take the Postmaster
General out of partisan politics. and /
have provided that the civil service COM
mission shall aid him in making such ap-
pointments, by making the necessary
rules and regulations and that as far as
possible it shall be his duty to follow
such rules and regulations. l think it is a
vast Improvement over the other bill, be-
cause in the first bill l made no attempt
to change the partisan aspect of the Office
of Postmaster General. If We want to
take the Post Office Department out of
politics we ought to take its head out of
politics.
II am satisfied that this change will add
materially to the efficiency of the law"

URGES CLERGY TO AID
IN ALLEY bET1ERMENT
DR.. Thomas Jesse Jones Takes
Up Subject at Pastors
Federation Meeting.

DIR. Thomas Jesse Jones, chairman Of
the housing committee of the Monday
Evening Club, made a strong appeal to
the ministers of the city to join the
movement to better alley conditions OF
the District, by either personally in
vestigating conditions or appointing
committees to visit the alleys, before
the Pastors Federation of Washington
at the y. M. c. A. today
The Pastors Federation, which is
composed of Protestant clergy. agreed
that the alley improvement campaign
Of the Monday Evening Club would re-
ceive it's most careful consideration
and numerous pastors declared their
intention of visiting alleys in their
neighborhoods and reporting on condi-
tions to the committee. Inspection
cards may be had from Miss Emma
Duke, 1922 N street northwest.
DIR. Jones pointed out the evils. such as
vice and disease. due to insanitary con-
ditions, that Turk In the alleys and per-
meate their immediate neighbOrhoods. He
declared that the gradual destruction Of
unfit houses would take at least fifty
years.
Reports show there are in Washington
2JS blocks which have inhabited alleys.
These alleys contain 3.14S dwelling
houses and approximately i0,WU lnnap-
itants. Their locations are as follows:
!, 797 in the northwest district, 66D in the
southwest, $50 in the northeast and 3J2
in the southeast sections.
Problem to Solve.
Or. Jones declared that the problem lies
in the difficulty of housing the inllab-
itants of the alleys. should the District
government demolish the houses and
turn the alleys into minor streets. Tn
like other cities, he said. the alleys of
Washington are spread over the whole
city and are not segregated.
Another point which DR.. Jones said
that the committee will take up is the
relation of the high cost of living to the
government employees.

The fourth assistant postmaster general
