DAVIDSON s RULES
ON SALARY UPHELD
BY COMP PTROLLER
Teachers Reinstated in Same
Class Do Not Lose Longevity
Rights and Accruments.

School teachers studying the details
of the longevity decision of Comptroller
of the Treasury Tracewell learned today
number than appeared at first, because
all four of the propositions originally
laid down by Superintendent w. NJ.
Davidson are sustained. DIR. Davidson
laid the matter before the Board Of
Education. which submitted II to the
District Commissioners, who in turn put
Ii up to the Comptroller. ..-...
MIR. Tracewell. in reversing his de-
cision of some years ago, says that new
cnactmcnts by Congress, make this
change of decision possible.
DIR. Davidson set forth four theses in
his letter.
Rights Preserved.
The first Of these propositions is that
a teacher returning from leave OF alb
sence and reinstated in the same class
as before. does not lose longevity rights
and accruments.
The second thesis is that a teacher
returning and appointed to a higher
class gets the basic salary of the higher
class and "a sufficient number of years
of longevity increase to make her sal
airy equal tn. but in no case in excess
of the salary step in the said higher
class next above that received by her in
the lower class"
Gets Basic Salary.
II is also now established that
teacher. when reduced in rank. is en-
titled to receive the basic salary of her
class and in addition a sufficient num-
Der of years of longevity increase to
equal the number of years she has had
as teacher in the District since the
date of her salary adjustment following
Of the organic school law of
1906.
Dr. Davjdson's last thesis refers to
teachers returning from leave of alb
sence and assigned TO lower rank
The same rule applies as in the previous
case. The Ccmptrollers opinion estab-
fishes the validity of all four PROPOSE
tiOns.

indignant when their attention is called
to the fact by arrest.

II welcome any action by the Chevy
Chase Club against me for trespass, as
the result would show the officials re-

what the duties of a deputy are with

There has been some talk since Mr..

BIG PENSION BILL
 CARRIED IN HOUSE
is Also Adopted Which
 Will Add Another Million,
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l


 WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-The larg- est pension bill ever reported to con sress carrying an appropriation agSre- gating lS0, 100000, was passed late to- day by the house by q vote of 2l9 to 40 with an amendment which will make necessary an additional apprOp- riation of more than one million.
 A small number of democrats led by Representative ROddenbery of Georgia, made futile efforts to add amendments to bar from the pension rolls veterans having incomes exceeding one thous- and dollars a year and not entitled to pensions on account of wounds, or dis abilities sustained in military service. AS reported by the committee the bill contained d paragraph providing that after July 1913. no pension will be paid non resident. not a citizen of the United States. except for actual disa- bility incurred in the service.
 A motion by Representative Good of , Iowa, to strike out this paragraph car ried, l54 to 1l2, many democrats join ing the solid republican minority in suppoCt of the motion. It is estimated . that something over $1,O00.000 is paid annually to veterans who would have been barred by this para graph.
