WILEY REPORTS NATION
FRIENDLY To CAPITAL
Chairman of Citizens Committee of
One Hundred Says Steps Are Being
Taken to Kill Pending Bills.
RETURNS AFTER SPEAKING TRIP

DR. Harvey W. Wiley, chairman of the
Citizens Committee Of One Hundred, re-
turned yesterday from a two weeks trip
to the Northwest. He seized the op-
portunity to speak in many cities in be-
half Of the National Capital and re-
ported on his return to Henry B. F.
Macfarland, chairman OF the executive
committee. that he had succeeded ia
stirring up much enthusiasm. He was
not little surprised to learn that the
work of the committee already had borne
fruit In distant States and that the peo-
pie were taking steps to kill pending
legislation that bears against the nation
al city.
DIR. Wiley was gratified at the work
done by the executive committee during
mis- absence. Regarding sentiment in the
States. DR.. Wiley said:
4 found only one sentiment and that
was that everybody showed a deep in
terest in the National Capital and was
more than willing to continue the present
financial arrangement, whereby the half
and-ha.f plan is maintained here. I be-
lieve there are few localities In the coun-
try where the majority Of the people
would be willing to sacrifice the welfare
Of the Nations Capital for the sake of
saving q few dollars for the national
Treasury. They realize that all the peo-
pie should help to maintain the Capital
II did not get an opportunity to in
quire into the sentiment In the small
towns, but I have no reason to believe
that human nature there Is any different
from what II is in the big cities I
think can confidently predict that even
the farmers would hold to the same
opinion respecting the National Capital
II the committee can only reach the
masses with a stateme:t of the case, our
success will be assured"

for him, but Bus could not be found.

HIGHER SALARIES FOR
CLERKS ARE URGED
Plea Made by Members of the House
in Debate on Appro-
priation Bill.

The government should increase the sal
aries OF government clerks. This position
was taken yesterday by Representative
Austin. of Tennessee, in the House.
SALARIES should be larger" he con-
tinued Cost of living Is higher, yet the
salaries have been the same for many
years, The time has arrived to reclassify
them, and in doing so we should take care
of the old and superannuated employees.
This appeal was made during DIS
cussion of the legislative. executive. and
judicial appropriation bill, which devel-
oped a battle royal. Representative
Fowler, of Illinois, got after those who
would have the high-salaried men paid
more.
ut is easy to increase these officials
salaries when they get up into the thou
sands" said he, but nobody wants to
Increase the pay of the low-salaried men.
Give them a little better chance in life.
Give them some of the good things.
"The gentleman from Illinois is not
the only friend Of labor in this House"
interrupted Representative Byrnes OF
Tennessee.
'I didn't think the committee would
abuse these Iov-salaried men by cut
ting them down." returned Mr.. Fowler.
THAT statement is not borne out, by
facts" retorted Mr.. Brynes-
Representative Fowler's efforts to
have the salaries of two lieutenants of
the watch at the Treasury increased
from $500 to $1,000 failed.
The only two salaries cut by the
subcommittee were those of two Post
once Department officials, Chairman
johnson, Of South Carolina, said.

Special to The Washington He-ah
Albany. April IT am convinced II
would be q gross miscarriage of justice
to grant a communication and an improper
exercise Of executive power to grant q
reprieve.'
In these words. Gov. Glynn tonight pro-
nounced final sentence of death upon

Warden Clancy. at Sing Sing, was
phoned to prepare the murderers for
execution. Gov. sGlynn In denying the
new trial said:
There Is nothing in the case before
me to show that there is any reasonable
probability that anything will be develop
ed on the new trial of Becker that could
in any way change the result reached
In this case. II the defendan nts possessed
any credible evidence to support a mo-
ton for new trial. they have had six
teen months since their conviction and
six weeks since the decision Of the
Court Of Appeals on which to present II
trial, but they have not made any such
motion. This Is eminently a case for
justice, not mercy, and the forum to
deal with new evidence. II any, is the
judiciary, not the executive.
After reading and rereading the record
OF the case. the communication to me
from the presiding judge and the prose-
cutting attorney, as well as the unanimous
opinion of the Court of Appeals, uphold
ing the verdict of the jury that passed
upon evidence in the trial. and thoroughly
the defendants petition and
all the facts that have been brought to
my attention, cannot escape the conclu-
sion that il Is my duty TO deny the appli-
cation for either a Communication OF SEN
tence or a reprieve."
