WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Norman
b. Conger, the Detroit weather in
spector now under suspension, will be
retained In the service OF the United
States weather bureau without change
OF station, but will be denoted from
his former position, paying a salary
OF $4,000 to the office OF local fore
caster at $4,000.
Announcement the final decision
on the Detroit weather mans case
was made Unexpectedly this morning,
following a series of differences
which have been held this week by
Professor Charles r. Marvin, who sue
ceeded Willis l.. Moore as chief OF
the weather bureau, and DIR. Beverley
T. Galloway, acting secretary Of the
department OF agriculture. Of which
branch OF the government the weather
service is part.
Mr.. COnger has been notified that
the lifting Of the suspension which
has held against him for two months
and his reassignment to new duties In
the same city take effect Immediately.
Representative Doremus, who had re-
quested notice OF the decision when
II was made, was alO ofiicially inform
ed OF the decision by Officials of the
department Of agriculture.
The charges against Mr.. Conger
grew out OF his connection with the
campaign Of former weather chief
Willis l. oMore for the position of
secretary of agriculture In President
Wilson's cabinet. Following charges
preerred against Moore. he was al
lowed to resign with several months
leave Of absence, but when the seri-
ousness OF hi offenses swere more
fully known he was ummarily dis
missed from the government service
by the president.
Charges Substantiated.
In the Investigations OF the charges
against former Weather Inspector
Conger, II was shown that he had
been given raise of salary from 81
500 to $4,000 by Professor Moore as
reward for his political activity in
Moore's behalf Furthermore that
government time and money were
used in advancing Moore's interests.
Il was charged that the Detroit
weather man made trips away from
his. work ostensibly for ofiicial pur-
poses. but really in the promotion OF
Moore's campaign. In summing up
the charges against Conger. answers
to which were made personally before
A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the bureau
OF Investigation of the department OF
justice. the. of{icials Of the department
II agriculture say In the decision that
the charges have been found to be
true and that they necessarily result
in the demotion Of the Detroit man.
Dismissal from the service was not
rpeted out to Conger for several rea-
sons. Although the charges were OF
a serious nature, II was evident that
he had perhaps been coerced into do
ing the things on which charges were
made by former Weather Chief Willis
Moore. his Superior officer Only in

HOBOKEN, N. j., Aug. 2S.-With
great clouds Of smoke rolling from
every portfolio. the giant liner I'm
perator was on fire at her dock here
FOR hours early today. Second on
Ger Gobracht lost his life in an at
tempt to press through the suffocat-
ing smoke to reach the provision
room In the stern, in which the
blaze started Seaman Otto Stumpf
was dragged out half dead after at
tempting to rescue Gobracht, but was
revived.
Although there were 1.131 storage
passengers aboard the liner, all were
taken safely to the pier. A panic
was threatened, but prompt action
by the crew prevented serious trou-
BILE. The entire Hoboken fire de-
partment, two New York fire boats
and two Hamburg-American tugs
went to the aid Of the burning liner.
Fifteen streams Of water were kept
playing upon her, and the magnifi-
cent stairways and palatial saloons
Of the liner were drench and discol-
ored by smoke and water. Fire Chief
Dabin, of Hoboken, estimated that
the damage would probably amount
to $4,000 or $l5O,000. and this was
before the blaze had been entirely
extinguished.
Second Officer Gobracht lost his
life when the men operating a pump
servinb him with oxygen became ex-
cited and left their work. GObracht
put on a fire helmet connected with
the pump In an attempt to reach the
room in which the fire started. The
entire fire brigade descended as far
as the F deck with i'm. Then Co
bracht began picking his way into
the lower recesses Of the boat. The
men operating the pump shouted for
him to come back, then panic-striken
as great clouds Of smoke rolled up
around them, they fed. When Ho-
boken nremen went into the lower
part Of the vessel they found Co.
bracht dead.
The fire was discovered about 4 a.
m, but II was after 8 o'clock before
the firesnen were satisfied that II was
entirely out.

day with more than 5000 passengers
