There are nineteen women bakers,
five women builders and building con-
tractors, eight women engravers, four
women shoemakers, three women post
mistresses. four brokers and money
lenders. ten Insurance agents. seventeen
real estate agents, fifteen commercial
travellers and salesagents, five under

the taking of the last census.
Altogether there are Sass women
holding jobs in gainful occupations.
This does not include girls less than
sixteen years old, who swell the total
number of females employed to 52,927.
There are twenty-five women photogra-
piers, seventy-seven physicians and
surgeons, twenty-eight reporters and
thirty-nine other literary persons, ac-
cording to the census report. Aside
from the seventy-seven physicians and
surgeons, there are forty-eight women
healers.
Laundresses hold the forefront OF
women employed, however, with nu-
neral strength of 1909. The cooks run
third with ssso5. There are also women
farmers, women farm laborers and
twenty-five women saloonkeepers and
bartenders in the District.
More than one-half of all the women
workers are engaged in the pursuits
grouped under personal and domestic
service, due the census office believes.
to the fact that more than half OF the
women employed in the District are
colored. There are more than 5000 wom-
en- clerks and stenographers- in the
Government service.

PREPARE TO URGE
IMMEDIATE ACTION
ON PENSION PLAN
Friends of Clerks Fear Dem

To Project.

Friends of pension and retirement leg
isiation for the Government clerks will
confer with Senator Cummins, CHAIR
man of the Senate Civil Service Gem
mittee, In the hope that some progress
can be made with such legislation be-
fore March 4.
Much concern is felt over the course
the Democrats will take after they con-
troll the Senate and House. Sup
porters of pension legislation fear the
Civil Service Committee Of the Senate
will be made up In a fashion hostile
to such legislation. This would pre-
clude even a fair consideration of the
question on the floor.
Senator Penrose has followed IN hi
declaration of some weeks ago In favor
Of pensions for Government employees
by Introducing in the Senate a bill,
which Is the same as the Hamill bill in
the House, for a straight pension plan
for Government employees. Under the
plan, the veteran employees of the Gov
ernment would be retired on part pay,
and the Government would bear the
expense.
1t win be impossible to ger consider
alton of such bill at this session.
More support for the contributory plan
than for the straight pension plan can
be obtained. and it is unlikely anything
can be done with the contributory plan
at this session.

CASTRO DECLARES
HE'S MUCH ABUSED
ON VISIT TO j. S.
Nothing Left But Honor,
Though He Sails in Style
Tomorrow.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3-Gen. Cipriano
Castro, former boss of Venezuela, today
at Ellis Island gave a Latin quotation
which he translated into Spanish just
10 show that he had some knowledge of
the classics, and called himself a much
abused man.
He declared that he had nothing left
save honor" although he has engaged
costly suite aboard the Hamburg
American liner Amerika, which sails for
Hamburg tomorrow morning. His Sec
retary-valet will go with him.
At times the little general dropped his
oratorical violence suddenly and smiled
or laughed.
The general edits copy in the old style
with a blue pencil, as he used one, after
a rapid defamation against his enemies
in general and General Gomez of Vene-
zuela in particular. in writing this SEN
timent:
'sThe truth Of all the world is in this
Latin statement: 'Verum est i'd quod
est"
He showed this with a look like
schoolboy and added the Spanish equiva-
lent The reporters Interpreted the ex-
preston literally, constituting 1t as.
Whatever 1t Is. and what are you going
The general jumped about the room
just after he was asked If he were go
ing to start a revolution in Venezuela
with money furnished by German in
terests and shouted something like this
I'm rapidflre style that confused the in
terpreter:
'.If 1t was nv intention to get German
capital for a revolution do you think 1
would come to the United States? L
don't think Germans regard money so
easily made as TO be willing to give it
away. When ] am ready for trouble
will LET you know"
The genera, reiterated that he had
left Venezuela solely because he had
been forced to undergo an operation by
specialists in Berlin, and took off his
coat and showed a long scar to prove II.
Occasionally he waved a folded news
paper as ne denounced Gomez. who. he
said, had robbed him of his private for
tune of %, 100000 francs. He said again
that he had nothing left but honor He
said they had even robbed him of his
wine cellar, but that did not matter. as
he was on the water wagon. He de-
clared that his only purpose in coming
here was to shake hands with the
American people" and look at the great
country.
He expressed sorrow that he could
not do this. and said he would go away
praying for the prosperity of America.

USING MORE WATER,

BERLIN, Jan. 3.-The consumption OF

additional water is used as a beverage.
More strenuous cleanliness is blamed

public today, the consumption of water
in Berlin in the last fiscal year averaged
twenty-three gallons a day for each
person. In 1911 the average was twenty
one gallons. The report said that most
of the water was used for bathing pur-

CONVINCE CURIOUS THAT 1T
WAS ONLY A MOVIE DRAMA,


New York, Nov. 24.-The staging
of one scene of a moving picture dra-
ma and the firing of revolver at
the chorus girl heroine near the stage
entrance Of a theatre at Seventh ave-
nue. and Fiftieth street caused ex'
citement and several unexpected feat
ures. among them an attempted res
sue by some street railway employees
the arrival of an ambulance and the
summoning of the reserves to dis
perse the crowd.
The morning picture company had
planned to take a picture of chorus
girl as she was making for the stage
entrance of her theatre pursued by
the villain of the drama in course of
preparation.
That part went off per schedule,
but when the report of the revolver
was heard in the nearby car barns
of the New York Railways company,
a half dozen husky motormen and
conductors, thinking the attack on
the girl was real. rushed to her as
sistance. Some chorus girls running
from the stage entrance to add to the
ensemble fthe picture added to the
confusion, during which the villain
was dragged inside to safety by stage
hands.
1t got to be such a riot that two Of
the motormen lost control Of
themselves and rushed for tele-
phones. One called up the police
headquarters and asked for an ambu-
lance, saying a young girl had been
slain. The other one had the rare
foresight to call up police head
quarters and say that there was a
regular massacre on.
The hospital replied promptly and
Second Deputy Police Commissioner
Dougherty got busy and sent two OF
his best men on the run. The sur
geon and the detectives reached the
theatre of war at about the same
time and at first glance it looked as
if the entire neighborhood had run
amuck. There were policemen in the
tangle trying to straighten things out
and eventually the two detectives,
the patrolmen and the hospital
surgeon, learned what it was all
about.
This villain was then permitted to
rise and dust himself off and go his
way, and the crowd and the official
participants departed.

President Sproule
Sends Compliments

Secretary w. H. Langsdale of the
Imperial Valley Chamber of Com
merce is in receipt of communica-
ton from F. E. Batturs, general pas
senger agent of the Southern Pacific
at Los Angeles, in which the following
letter from William Sproule, president
of the company was enclosed:
"On Line, near Cotton, Nov. 81, 1913.
"Mr F. E. Batturs,
General Passenger Agent,
Los Angeles, Cal.
my dear Mr.. Batturs:
81 have a very nice telegram from
the Imperial Valley Chamber of Com
merce inviting me to the Imperial
Valley Fair which is now being held
at Ell Centre, and which from all l
hear shows the enterprise of the citi-
zens of the valley in presenting its re-
sources, products and prospects in an
attractive way for the education and
pleasure of those who visit the fair.
''In your visit to the fair l would
ask you to supplement my telegraphic
reply by presenting to the Chamber
my compliments, with the statement
that if l could possibly have gone to
Ell Centre today instead of going on
east l would have done so, but my
presence in Los Angeles was neces-
sary with respect to matters that l
could not abandon. l wish you would
tell them what you already know, that
l am personally interested in the
prosperity of the Imperial valley be-
cause of my having been in the val
ley at the inception of irrigation there
and have personal knowledge at first
hand of the growth from that desert
time up to the present.
II am sure you will have an inter
esting and instructive time at the
fair and am very glad indeed you are
going. Yours truly,
"W. SPROULE."
