IDLE CLERKS COST
NAT ION $4,000
Why the Government Should
Make Inauguration a
National Affair.
A PRACTICAL ARGUMENT

That the government would save money
by financing the inaugurations Of the fu-
ture is the opinion of George Easter
day, realty and stock broker. MI. Easter
day yesterday stated he believed the sug-
gestion made by The Washington Herald
that the inauguration ceremonies should
be national and not local in character
was good one. He said:
by looking after the financial end Of
the inaugurations of the future the gov
ernment will undoubtedly save money,
and the character Of the event viii at
the same time be more national in char
acter and therefore in keeping with the
desires of the people Of the country.
THE mere fact that an inaugural ball
Is held makes it possible for the citizens
of Washington to provide successful in
auguration ceremonies every four years.
The inaugural ball is the only money
making proposition in connection with
the whole event The proceeds OF the af-
fair make II possible 10 repay the citi-
gems Of Washington the $4,000 to $4,000
inaugural fund.
TT is estimated that the loss Of time
by clerks in the Pension ONCE during the
week or so preceding and following March
costs the government from $4,000 TO
100000. Some estimates place the amount
even higher. Thus 1t is seen that IL the
government appropriated $4,000 TO 100000
to cover the expenses of the Inauguration,
money and valuable time could be saved.
II would not then be necessary 10 hold
ball, and as the result the business of
the Pension Office would not be paralyzed
for two or three weeks every four years"
A letter written by the Commissioner OF
Pensions to the Secretary Of the Interior
Department December 16, 1909. substan-
tiates the claim made by Mr.. Easterday.
The commissioner stated that the tctal
loss to the government was $95,474. ThesA
figures We're presented TO the House OF
Representatives by s. w. Smith. then
chairman OF the District Committee, and
are now a matter Of record.

BALL GAME ON ICE
THIS AFTERNOON
First Contest of Its Kind il
Capital to Be Played on the
Tidal Basin.

Baseball in midwinter in the National
Capital with the weather below freezing
and snow still on the groundi
1t sounds rather strange, but there is
no mistake, for such is the programme
for this afternoon on the Tidal Basin.
Gliding over the frozen surface Of the
great expanse of ice upon their shining
steels, eighteen skating enthusiasts will
engage in a game of Indoor" baseball
beginning at 3:50 o'clock.
Yesterday the two mines which will
clash this afternoon gathered at the
Basin to practice. Skaters sped around
the bases in record time, while fielders
scooped up the big baseball from the
icy surface with the ease OF profession
ais on a regulation diamond in mid
summer The game this afternoon will be
the first ever held in the National Capt.
tai with snow on the ground and the
mercury down in the tube.
The ice is in perfect condition. II is
conceded by every one TO be at its best
this season. The entire Basin is cleared
of snow, forming an immense rink. The
ice is between eight and fourteen inches
thick. There are several air holes, but
these are marked with danger signals.
1t was estimated last night that the nat
ural rink will safely accommodate 1000
persons.
Jerome Conners, the sculptor, will cap
tain one of the teams, and DR.. E. c.
Meyer, of the tariff board, will act as
captain of the second team. The lineup
will be as follows:

Engineer Doughty Have Accom-

From the superb Machigonne down
to the small tonnage steamers. all
the Casco Bay & :Harpswell Line
boats have received even closer a.
tention this year than usual. Bright
iy shining with fresh white paint and
polished brass, they are making their
trips on the summer schedule, ap-
pearfng more like a fleet OF yachts
than plain common carriers of the
people. Ii was always the aim OF
Manager Goding to keep the steam
ers CT the line in first-class shape
and in this he has been aided by
the valuable experience and able
knowledge of Capt. James l.. Long.
the Admiral of the line. and Chief
Engineer George II. Doughty, both O,
whom have spent the winter in sup
ertntending repairs and improvements
on the many boats. While most OF
the work has been general overhaul.
ing OF the engines and hulls some
changes have been Nmade. such as
the raising of the pilot house and
purser's room on the Maquoit to the
boat deck. adding to the comfort OF
passengers and to the convenience OF
the captain and crew.
The new schedule is giving the
best of satisfaction, with the lime,
Bay service touching at Eastern
Landing, this having been petitioned
for last year. The Outer Bay boats
are running on similar schedules as
last year, with express trips to Clin
Island, getting down to South Harps
well in an hour and a half or SO
Long Island and the Upper Bay are
getting closer attention than last
year and trips are frequent. Ever,
steamer of the line is in commission
and all seem to be loaded with pass
engers and freight.
