PAY At NAVY YARD
CAUSE OF PROTEST
Secretary Daniels Hears Argu.
ments Presented by Com
mittee of Employees.

Secretary Daniels today gave a hearing
to committee representing the machin-
lists and other artisans at the Washington
navy yard who ask for what they term
more equitable revision of the wage
scale at the yard, based on the 10 per
cent increase in the total appropriations
for the present fiscal year
The situation is the result Of a disagree
ment on the part of Capt. Jones' COM
mandant of the yard. and his assistants
and the employees generally as to how the
additional funds provided by Congress
should be distributed. 1t appears that the
employees expected that each one of them
would receive 10 per cent raise In his
compensation under the wage scale for
last year.

Plan of REIMBURSEMENT.

What actually was done by the au-
thorities of the yard was to raise the
minimum and maximum wage for each
class Of work to the full extent Of the
appropriations, and to fix the pay OF
each employee within those limits on
the basis Of individual skill and eff
cheney, as shown by the records Of the
yard. In the case of the highest paid
employees. including bricklayers, and
one or two other classes of the same
grade of pay. no change was made in
the rate of pay. With those exceptions
either the minimum or the maximum
rate was raised in every class of
labor.
The new rates OF pay established by
Commandant Jones under the general in
structions from Secretary Daniels went
into effect Tuesday morning, and it soon
developed that while most of the en-
ployes had a higher rating than before,
the increase in very few instances was on
10 per cent basis, and in some instances
1t was found that number OF employees
had been placed OH a lower rating than
before
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-07-03
Based on Recorded Efficiency.

1t is explained at the Navy Depart
ment that that result is based entirely on
the fact that the change Of pay in every
instance was based on the recorded eff
cheney of the individual employe within
the revised minimum and maximum rates.
In the application of that principle
of payment it developed in several in
stances that some employees who had
received nearly the maximum pay un-
der the old scale receive pay at or
near the minimum rate under the new
scale. and that some others had re-
ceived more than 10 per cent raise in
their wages the increase in one or two
notable instances being as much as 80
per cent
The larger number of employees, it is
said, receive less than the expected 10
per cent. however. and they az we'll as
those whose wages are less than be-
fore have expressed dissatisfaction
with the new wage scale and appealed
through their representatives to the
Secretary of the Navy. Mr.. Daniels lis
tened to the arguments Of the commit
teemen today and promised to give
their views thorough consideration.

Pay Cut to Cheat Wife.

G. Lester Pinkham, a bookkeeper,
who is charged with abandoning his
wife, Mrs. Lydia Pinkham, and his
child, had his salary reduced at his
own request in order to escape paying
his wife alimony, according to the tes-
timony before Magistrate Conway, in
the Flushing police court. Pinkham
testified that he was receiving only
$40 week.
A. M. Ryon, his employer, in answer
to questions by the magistrate, said
he was paying Pinkham only $40 a
week.
rs he worth more money!" ques-
toned the magistrate.
'He certainly is" replied Mr.. Ryon.
II formerly paid him $18 week, but
he asked to have his salary reduced to
$40 a week"
The magistrate directed Pinkham to
pay his wife S. week and furnish a
bond of $520.-New York Tribune.

SCRIPT OF MAD "EMPEPoR"
Relic Presented to San Francisco Mu-
scum Reminder of the Early
Days of That City.


The old days Of San Francisco-that
period about twenty years ago when
the "Guttersnipe," "Topsy-Turvey,"
THE Great Unknown" and other ia
nous street characters were daily
sights in the city-are recalled vividly
by donation made last week to the
Golden Gate Park Memorial museum.
Chris w. Smith gave the museum a
piece of script issued by the far-famed
emperor" Norton, the millionaire pio-
neer, whose reason went with the loss
OF his money by unwise speculation.
1t was In the late seventies that
Emperor" Norton held forth in all his
glory. He had come to California in
1S49, had endured all the hardships of
that early date, and retired to San
Francisco when his wealth had
reached the million mark. He was
not violently insane, simply possessed
OF the hallucination that this was one
vast empire, over which he ruled, and
that those whom he daily passed on
the streets were his, humble subjects.
The piece of script presented to the
Park museum is perhaps the only relic
of one habit of Emperor" Norton.
Striding into store or into place of
liquid refreshment, the emperor"
would, in dignified manner, order
whatsoever he wished. In payment he
would give a piece Of script such as
that received by the museum, or may
hap personal check. More than once,
say the old-timers, a $4,000 check was
given in payment for small glass Of
mineral water.
Emperor" Norton's script is printed
on blank piece of paper slightly
larger than bank note, and worded
as follows:
"The Imperial Government of EN-
peror Norton l promises to pay holder
hereof the sum of ten dollars in the
year 1880, with interest at five per
cent. per annum from date, the prin-
cipal and interest to be converted at
the option of the holder at maturity
into twenty-year five per cent. bonds,
or payable in gold coin. Given under
our royal hand and seal this goth day
of March. 1879.
"(Signed.) NORTON l."

Are You Ieft-Handed2

Why don't you make more use OF
your left hand?
1t has been estimated that 81 per
cent. of the English-speaking people
are right-handed when they grow up.
Seventeen out Of every hundred are
born right-handed, but the remaining
S3 are born without any inclination to
use one hand more than the other
and, therefore, become right-handed
owing to influences brought to bear
on them during their childhood days.
1t is impossible to calculate how
much men lose by neglecting their left
hands. Formerly-in primitive times,
that is to say-everyone was ambi-
dextrous, and the sooner people be-
come ambidextrous again the better.
In Japan, for many years, soldiers
and schoolboys have been taught to
use both hands. And this wise ex-
ample is now being followed in Ger.

and here and there accumulated stores
OF great mud-colored logs near the
ra1lway-river-fioated from the hill
forests of Kashmir. Then, as in a
world Of crumbling fossil cities, all the

A Hugh Fisher in the Illustrated

l reached Peshawar a little before
dawn, and got out at the Cantonment
and not at the city station. In the
station masters room a group of
great-coated men with rifles crowded
round fire. The city station had
been raided only one week before, and
although the cantonment was safer
than houses" there was an invigorat-
Ing air Of excitement. The wide, tree
bordered, and well-kept roads, and the
white cherry-blossom in orchard and
garden, made me think of English
parkland in spring.
When l entered the city through the
Edwardes gate, the Kissa Kahani-the
Peshawar Lombard street-took me
to the Kotwali. large, whitewashed
police station, with its own wide gate

the silk market and the older parts
OF the city. The wide, open space

an average of 200 patients a day, eye

City Very Ancient.
Peshawar Is very ancient city,
but has no monuments of antiquity
within its precincts. At little dis
tance, however, at the mount called
Shah-jtki-Dheri, are the remains Of
the great Buddhist memorial which
was built in the reign of King Kan
ishka, when Peshawar, then called
Purushapura, was the capital of his
kingdom.
The Khyber, at the time of my visit,
had not yet been reopened after a
military expedition, and when l OBJ
tanned permission to enter the pass,
the large Sarai at Jamroud was fill
ed with Kabulis with canal caravans
waiting to go through with the sup

which they had exchanged the silk,
fruits and carpets they had taken
to Psshawar.

Turning to the right at the Hast

cades of European and Ameri-
can cities; yet there are many
points Of difference between
the bazaar and the arcade. For ex-
ample, the passage in the bazaar is
much narrower than in the arcade;
1t Is a passageway for animals and
vehicles, as well as for pedestrians;
bazaars are never more than one
story high; they are lighted only by
circular holes in the arched roof; the
fronts of the little shops on either
side are entirely closed by rough
wooden doors; the shops are yer!
long in proportion fronting on the
passageway Is exceedingly narrow.
One curious thing about the ba-
zaars of Persia is that all the shops
of one kind are grouped together, and
30 we speak of "the cloth BAZAAR"
the hat bazaar" ''the shoe ba-
zaar," Mary A. Clarke Colquhoun
writes In the Springfield Republican.
There are both wholesale and retail
stores, but there are no department
stores, as In the United States. Nor
Is there such thing as a general
grocery or dry goods store. One gro
Ger keeps spices only; another tea,
coffee. sugar and so FORTH one dry

There are no large manufactures in
Iran. 1t Is common to have a small
factory and shop together or side
by side. All the metal utensils used
In the country are made of either
brass or copper. These substances
are hammered into shape; stroll
through the bazaars where this work
Is going on gives one the impression
that pandemonium has broken loose.
To an American 1t is astonishing to
see the very small quantity Of thing
that can be bought in Persia. Spices
are inexpensive and the spice mer-
chant will weigh out an infinitesimal
amount, 30 that even the very poor
can have fiavorings and seasonings
in their food that would otherwise be
impossible to them.
Fare Of the Persian Cafeteria.
Different kinds of bread are made
In the bazaars. One kind, which Is
especially liked by the people and
which can be obtained fresh at almost
every hour of the day, is called mon

1t Is made by pouring the dough on
very hot pebbles. which bake 1t quick

course, 1t is thin, not more than

sheet is about foot and half wide
