-FOUR HUNDREDOUT
At PENSION OFFICE
Clerks Employed Only for Tenn
porary Work to Quit Service
This Afternoon.
e.

Four hundred clerks in the Pension
Office leave the service this afternoon
because the term Of their appointment,
which was temporary, comes to a con-
clusion with the end of the fiscal year.
The 100, who are mostly women and
District residents. have been serving
since August last They were special
appointees. employed to help take care
of the enormous rush of business at the
Pension OIice which came about be-
cause of the act of May IL. 1912.
That act provided for an increase In
pensions Of all the male pensioners OF
the civil war, Of whom there are ap-
proximately $4,000. The passing Of the
act meant that there came an applica-
ton for an increase in pension from
every one Of these $4,000, all Of whom
applied at once for the increase. This
meant sudden and gigantic amount OF
new business at the Pension Office, and
extra clerical help became imperative.
Accordingly, Congress made special
appropriation of $500. 900 and provided
that payments from this appropriation
must end June 30, 1913 According to
the pension authorities there is no pro-
vision of law by which any one Of the
temporary clerks may be retained after
4:30 this afternoon.
II was stated at the Pension Office
today that pressure In behalf of many
Of these clerks has been tremendous.
The pressure has been chiefly in behalf
Of those who came from outside the
District, for whom members of Con-
gress have interceded. Commissioner
Saltzgaber. however, was absolutely
helpless In the matter.

Discuss AImas Offer
For Hebrew Temple

Eighth Street Temple. the house OF
Worship of the Washington Hebrew
Conversation, may soon become the
property Of Almas Temple. Mystic
Shrine. The board Of trustees OF the
congregation met yesterday to discuss
an offer made for the temple, but action
has been deferred until the next meet
ing Of the congregation.
That the ideal will eventually be con-
summated is the opinion of those inter-
ested. The temple, built in 1888, Is at
present too small to house the congre-
CATION and is considered by many Of the
congregation to be located in an out
of the way section. A movement has
been on foot for some time to build a
temple further in the northwest sec
tior, preferably in Mt. Pleasant.
The Shriners consider the Eighth Street
Temple an ideal place for the holding
OF their drills. Heretofore they have
used the National Rifles Armory and
this has not proved satisfactory.

my satisfaction that the company has
no selfish motive back of the pro-
posed change and that the change was
made in an effort to improve the
service.
From what a few of the subscri-
bers said it was evident that they
thought that a magnetic telephone
must necessarily announce to every
one on the line the fact that someone
was using the line. However, the
telephones that are being installed
are provided with a direct current gen
Grafton; while the bells on them will
only ring when the operator sends an
alternating current over the lines.
Therefore the only change produced
by the new telephone will be a surer
connection to the exchange and a bet
ter set of transmitters and receivers.
From what I know about the pro-
posed change L am sure the companys
aim is to improve the service and that
the subscribers in the rural commune
ties will be convinced of this fact
when they have tried this new tele-
phone and become acquainted with
the way it works. [ would suggest
that the telephone company make a
list of changes and give a copy to
those who distrust the change. The
subscribers may then learn of the
Improvement directly by calling num-

LARGE CUBAN STATION
Uncle Sam Has Owners of Land to
Settle With.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Although the
state department has arranged with
Cuba for an extension of the limits of
the present naval station at Guam
tanamo, this government cannot OBJ
tain actual possession of the addition
al land until it has arranged with the
individual owners. For this purpose
board of condemnation and ap-
praisal is now at work and when it
shall have fixed the cost for the tract
congress will be asked to appropriate
for its purchase.
The extension will almost double
the size of present reservation at
Guantanamo, for it is proposed to &C
quire 32,740 acres of land now pri-
vately owned and 832 acres of public
land. While a considerable proper
ton of the tract is required for the
construction of defenses against at
tack from the land side, it is needed
largely to insure a suitable and ade-
river, several miles distant.

TRAIN MORE men
Bureau of Mines Wants More
Rescue Experts.
Miners Should Know How to
Direct Work.

Washington. Jan. 16.-Instructions
for the training of miners in the use OF
mine rescue apparatus are being sent
out by the bureau of mines. This is
done with a view of increasing the
number of men who in time of mine
disasters are competent to undertake
the rescue of those entombed in gas
filed mines. The bureau is seeking to
have as many men as possible qualify
as experts at all mines SO they will
be able to- undertake preliminary res
cue work prior to the arrival of the
bureaus mine rescue car.
According to figures compiled by the
bureau there now are between 5000 and
1000 trained rescue men in the coun-
try and it is proposed in the present
year, through the system of instruc-
ton, to double that number at least.
1t is expected that another effect will
be to reduce the mortality among un-
trained rescue men.
The instructions give a comprehen-
Sive course of training and require the
pupil to undertake many tests with
frequent practical tests. Certificates
of competency will be issued by the
bureau when the miner has qualified.
