WORKS WOULD HAVE
OFFICE COMMISSION
California Senator Would Place in the
Hands of the Board All Appi-
cations for Federal Jobs.

Complete revision of the old-established
system of filling Federal appointments is
provided in bill drawn by Senator
Works of California. which will be in
trOGuced in the Senate tomorrow.
The Works measure provides for the
creation of a commission composed of
three members. to be paid at an annual
salary of 5000 each. This commission, If
the bill becomes law. will consider every
application made for a Federal job: will
investigate the records of the applicants,
and will make recommendations to the
President. who. under the Constitution.
must make the appointments.
Il have offered this BILL said Sena-
tor Works, in the hope of relieving the
President, members of Congress, and
members OF the Cabinet of the euor-
nous labor of selecting and recommend
iIIg people for Office. The duties of these
officers, especially the President, have
become exceedingly onerous and. in my
opinion, some measure for their relief
should be enacted into law"
In order to affect his purpose, Senator
Works expressly forbids the recon-
mendation of any one for appointment
or the application of any government
officer for aid to secure an office for A
constituent. This provides method by
which members of Congress can sue
cessfully pass the bucks to the commits
sion when constituent clamors for 4

Binding RESOLUTION
Held UP BY CAUCUS
Absence of Senators Prevents Action
on Motion to Force Solid Party
Vote on Tariff Bill.
QUESTION is DEBATED

With only thirty-one Democratic Sena-
tors present. the party caucus yesterday
adjourned over until 4 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon without taking action on the
resolution intended to bind individual
Senators to support the tariff bill in the
form in which it is to be reported to
the Senate. Early tomorrow morning
there will be a meeting of the Finance
Committee Democrats.
In the debate in the caucus over the
question of adopting a resolution TO bind
Senators to support the bill. a diver
gence of views was disclosed. Several
Democratic Senators spoke in opposition
to such resolution. declaring that II
was not necessary, others took the view
that no Senator ought to be asked to
surrender his individual independence to
the party caucus, because it might be
charged against him that he was repre-
sentlng party interests rather than the
interests of the people who has elected
him.
A number Of matters that are in the
hands of the majority members of the
Finance Committee went over until to-
morrow One of these was as to the
date when the wool duty shall expire
Another related to the new tax of y
pei tcit ~ Dt llnpOseu on spurious wines,
Senator Smoot of Ftah is preparing
to offer amendments to almost every
paragraph in the bill. He will offer these
amendments as the paragraphs are
reached in their regular order The Sena-
tor from Utah will introduce an entire
new wool paragraph, which. he says
Will be based on the reports of the
Tariff Board. He will not suggest any
amendment to the income tax provision
There are great many Inconsistencies
in the tariff bill framed by the Demo-
Gratis said Gov. Smoot. For example,
coal tar dyes. which are manufactured
in Representative Francis Burton Harri-
sons district in New York. retain very
high duties. The Senate has reduced them
some. but the reductions made are still
very much below those made in other
products. Mica, produced In Senator
Simmons's State in North Carolina, was
taxed higher in this bill than it is in
existing law"
Senator Burton of Ohio and Senator La
Toilette Of Wisconsin, are planning q
sweeping attack on the new bill. La Fol-
lette will not prepare an entire new
tariff bill as a substitute. but will attack
many Of the schedules. He probably will
require a week or more to make his
analysis of the bill. and comparison
with his own amendments therefor. Sena-
tor Burton considers the bill a very inn
perfect one, and will attack 1t In detail.
Senator Simmons ordered kilograms
sent out yesterday to absent Democratic
Senators requesting their presence at the
caucus tomorrow afternoon. when action
will be taken on the resolution to bind
all Democratic Senators to vote as a unit
for the bill in the Senate and against
any modification Of II.

IN GARRISON'S HANDS
Secretary of War VIII Decide
Method Of Acquiring Biebcr
Tract Near ApacOstfa.

Method Of Acquiring Biebcr
Tract Near AnacOstin.
To Secretary of War Garrison will fall
the task OF determining the manner in
which the valuation of certain land along
the Anacostia River to be used for i'm
provement purposes shall be purchas ed-
whether the government shall pay the
price of the owner or the land shall be
obtained by condemnation proceedings.
This property is located between Nine
teenth and Twenty-third Streets and H
and ] Streets Southeast, and is more or
less submerged. 1t belongs to Sidney
Bieber. 1t was purchased by him from
the government in 1901 and 1906 for 81 903.
a valuation fixed at that time by a board
of army officers. The land will be used
for the park that is TO be established
along the river between the Anacostia
Bridge and the District line.
The price asked by Mr. Bieber is s15. 600
and Col Langfitt, the engineer officer in
charge of the Anacostia project, reported
that this was a reasonable price.
Assistant Secretary of War Breckin-
ridge, to whom the matter was referred.
did not concur in this decision. however,
and it was suggested that the District
Commissioners be requested to institute
condemnation proceedings. But because
of the delay that might be incident to
this method and of the need for going on
with the work. it was finally decided that
the matter should be referred to Secre-
tary of War Garrison for immediate de-
cision. and to that end he will have a
conference with Mr.. Bieber tomorrow.

GOVERNORS ARE TOLD
TO OBSERVE DICK LAW
Executives Cautioned by War De-
pnrtment in Regard to Mainte-
nance of state Militia.

Reminders to all the Governors of the
States that the Federal support of the
State militia organizations is dependent
upon the observance of the provisions OF
the Dick law have been sent by Secre-
tary of War Garrison. The Secretary
called upon the Governors to Cooper
ate with the War Department more fully
in maintaining the militia in accordance
with the requirements of the law
1t is considered doubtful whether any
State has complied with the letter of the
law in all respects This is especially
the case with regard TO the number OF
officers Of the higher grades sanctioned
by the State organizations This num-
ber in most States, is considerably in
excess of the proportionate number
which the Dick law provides for.
Colonies ard brigadier generals who owe
their offices largely TO social or political
influence still abound.
The War Department. under the letter
of the Law. is not obliged to recognize
the commissions of officers of high rank
in excess of the number legally pro-
vided for.
