EACH SATURDAY
HALF-HOLIDAY
Merchants Call Attention of
White House to the
Old Law.
MESSAGE TO TUMULTY
r. P. Andrews and c. J. Columbus
Ask Action for Christmas on
Forgotten Ruling.
MESSAGE TO TUMULTY

Every Saturday afternoon is a legal
holiday in the District. according to in
formation obtained as a result of a
laid before Secretary TumuIty yester-
day by a committee of the Retail Mer-
chants Association in an effort to have
President Wilson declare the two Sat
urdays. December IL and 19. half-holi-
days for government employees.
This effort has been made by the Re-
tail Merchants Association in further
ance Of its shop early" campaign.
Ross 7. Andrews. president OF the
Retail Merchants Association, and
Charles J. Columbus, secretary. were
the representatives. who appeared at
the White House yesterday.
They presented Secretary Tumulty
with a copy of the Code OF Law for
the District OF Columbia" which con-
tains the statute so Opportunely dis
covered. This law gives the President
authority to declare a half-holiday
every Saturday if he so desires.
TumuIty Hears Merchants.
An opinion of Acting Attorney General
Reynolds contained in volume - opinions
OF the Attorney General rendered in Au-
gust, 1903 was quoted to Secretary Tum-
ulty. The provision OF this holding Is as
IOliOWS.
Every Saturday after IL o'clock, noon.
is a holiday for all purposes within the
District Of Columbia, and is therefore one
or the days declared public holidays by
law within the meaning Of the statute
regulating the number Of hours Of labor
which must be required of all clerks and
employees in the executive departments
consequently heads OF departments
are not obligated 10 require labor of such
clerks. etc, after the hour OF noon on
Saturday.
Mr.. Andrews and Mr.. Columbus were
assured by Secretary Tumulty that he
would take the matter up with the Presi-
dent as soon as possible. He also said
that he was glad the discovery had been
made.
While he does not wish to raise the
hopes OF the 1000 government clerks, Mr..
Andrews states he is confident President
Wilson will reconsider his recent decision
and grant the Saturday holidays.

rural Credit PLAN
WILL Be READY SOON
League to Educate Farmers on Per-
sonal Credit Methods Will Be Form
ed Within Next Fortnight.

The committee appointed to organize a
permanent rural (personaD credit league
at the recent rural credit conference held
in this city expects to formulate a plan
at the end OF two weeks. The authority
Of this committee is limited to the or
ganization of a league to educate the
public on personal-not land mortgage
credit. The conference adopted a resolu-
ton asking the Sixty-third Congress to
appoint a committee of experts to investi-
gate rural CpersonaD credit and report to
the sixty-fourth Congress at Its first reg
ular session.
The conference was called by the ex-
ecutive council OF the progressive
oranges. but it was attended by repre-
sentatives Of the Farmers Union. as we'll
as the grange, by editors Of the great
farm periodicals., by some of the leading
agriculturists OF the country and by. pub
lie and private men who have studied tho
subject
1t was claimed by the experts that two
kinds of finance were necessary to meet
the farmers requirements, viz: The
means of borrowing on lands, which was
known as a land mortgage system. and
for the purchase OF seeds. fertilizers. ma
chinery, work stock and improved breeds
OF sIOCk TO WHICH l1S IdIIH pIONuSlS dIS
fed, construction OF silos, drainage Of
sour lands, and establishment Of neigh
borhood creameries. cheeseries and can
neries for the preservation Of surplus
supplies of vegetables produced in years
Of good seasons, all OF which comes un-
der personal credit. a system In vogue in
all European countries.
It was also contended that this business
OF farm CpersonaD credit was not desir-
able business for the ordinary banks,
especially the commercial banking insti-
tutions. because the average credit de-
mands Of the farmers Is small and the
time is too long, running from nine
months to three years. 1t was also shown
that In all European countries these two
farm financial institutions were separate
in their control, and It was the unani-
nous opinion OF those attending the con-
ference that we should separate the con-
troll Of them in this country. 1t was
thought that the best way to bring about
this separate control was to organize a
rural credit league to promote public SEN
timent on rural CpersonaD credit alone.

The Senate voted yesterday afternoon
without dissent TO make the immigration
bill the unfinished business of the Senate,
giving that measure the legislative right
of way each day at > o'clock in the
Senate. The bill passed the House at the
last session.
The action by the Senate is regarded as
significant in view Of the fact that the
President did not recommend the legisla-

there is reason to believe he opposes 4

HER WAR TOLL HEAVY.

Reports Safety Convention.

Responding to the appeal Of the Presi-
dent in his message to Congress in favor
of the ratification of the safety-at-sea
treaty, the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations yesterday reported the conven-
ton to the Senate in executive session.
An amendment was made at the sug-
gestion OF Senator O'Gorman which it is
believed will remove any serious opposi-
ton to the ratification. This amend
meLt reserves to the United States the
right to legislate as it may please con-
cerning desertions of seamen from ves-
sells while in ports of the United States.
The treaty will be taken up for consld-
Grafton later. 1t will probably be rati-
fed without serious objection in view
of the amendments.
