sENATE VETCES HIS PENSION.
Effort to Retire Veteran Naval En-
ploye With Paw Fails.

Another effort to pension Thomas Har-
rison, who hN been clerk at the United
States Naval Observatory for more than
sixty consecutive years. was made last
night in the Senate when the naval ap-
preparation bill was under consideration.
Senator PoinGeXter proposed an amend
ment that would retire him at a salary
Of s1G0 per month during the remainder
of his life.
This is practically putting this civil
employee on q pension roll at 500 month,
is 1t not?" asked Senator Bristow.
1T is retiring him, putting him upon the
basis of a retired naval employee" said
Mr. PoindeXter. 1T may be called a pen
sion: ii may be called by any other name
The case is q very exceptional one. the
only case / know of in the navy in which
an employee served conSecutively more
than sixty years The man is now more
than eighty years old, and the alternative
which confronts the government is to
turn him out without dollar or to rec
ogniZe his exceptionally long service by
retiring him upon part pay.
Senator Smoot made point of order
against the amendment and il was
Knocked out when the chair sustained the
point.

Echoes of the frightful sea disaster OF

who heard the faint but frantic calls
for help of the Titanic's wireless and

the Titanic would float until he arrived.
But the Carpathia came upon the

Gated in the wireless calls In "a final
effort the Carpathia proceeded to the
position where the Titanic went down
but found only floating wreckage and
bodies to mark her resting place.
Only after Capt. Rostron was sure that
he could rescue no one alive did he turn
about-the vessel was outward bound
when the S .. S. call was heard-and
proceeded to New York with the survivors
on board and the Titanic's lifeboats
swung to her sides.

ably the revision of the state laws gov

ingmen's compensation acts. a radical eX-

ties commission. statewide primary laws
extending the system To all elective Of

the chief reforms which Mr. Wilson
proposed but did not obtain at the pres

Stick strenuously for Items.

The Senate conferees are sticking out
strenuously for these items, as Well as
other important prov sions in the Oil
over which there is still disagreement
1t is argued by the senators that prac-
tically all of these items particularly
those for the District. We're adopted IN
the Senate by a record vote. and that
they cannot be dropped from the measure
without endan eering the refusal or the
Senate to accept the conference report
and thus making the bill fail. Each one
of the project has stanch supporters
in the Senate some senators believing
one item in particular more important
TO be retained than others. For instance
some believe the acquiring or the lower
Rock Creek valley the most important
of the District items; others hoid the
memorial bridge proposition TO outrahk
all the others. And so it goes
1t is understood that the Red Sross
headquarters building also is the subject
of much discussion in conference AS on
the floor of the Senate. some OF the con-
ferees are urging that the building should
not only be a memorial to the loyal
women of the civil war. but should also
he a memorial to the women loyal to the
Confederacy. In view OF the action OF
the Senate the Senate conferees do not
feel at liberty to modify the provision as
it was inserted in the bill.
