Tucker K. Sands. vice president and
cashier of the Commercial National
Bank, yesterday was appointed receiver
for the United States Trust Company
by Justice Mccoy. Mr.. Sands furnished
bond of $4,000 and entered on his
duties at once.

e. Jordan, William F. Dennis, Arthur
Lee, H B. Davidson, James A. Cahill.

PRESIDENT REJECTS
HALF-HOLDAY Plan
Has No Authority. He Declares. and
Will Not Ask Congres to
Wink at Laws.

The request that the 5000 employees or
the Federal and District governments be
granted Saturday half-holidays imme-
diatelyr before Christmas as an aid to
Washington merchants in their shop
early campaign was refused yesterday
by President Wilson and the District
Commissioners. The movement for the
holiday was promoted by the Retail
Merchants Association and the Con-
sumers' League. Prominent men also
supported 1t.
The lack OF legal authorization Is
given as the reason for the refusal m
a letter from Secretary to the President
Tumulty to Charles J. Columbus, secre-
tary Of the Merchants Association.
The same reason is given by the Dis
trict Commissioners in declining to give
these two Saturday afternoons to the
employees Of the District government
Great disappointment was felt among
the government employees at the action
Of the President and the Commissioners
Many had allowed themselves to count
on this favor, and the refusal came as
a surprise.
President Wilson declared yesterday
that the Saturday half-holidays for the
government clerks are merly the result
OF a custom which has grown up and
which is winked at by Congress. He did
not feel that he could ask Congress to
stretch a point and continue to wink
at two extra holidays.

MAY REMOVE LIMITATIONS.
House Bill Plans to Give ReserV<
Board Broader Powers.

An important amendment to the
Federal reserve act of special concern
to banks interested in the export and
import trade is proposed in bill
passed by the House yesterday. The
bill, which now goes to the Senate,
and which in all probability will short
ly be passed by that body, authorizes
the Federal Reserve Board. at its dis
erection, to increase the amount of ac-
ceptances based on the importation and
expectation Of goods which a member
bank may discount and which Fed
eral reserve bank may rediscount- The
existing law limits such loans TO SO
per cent of the paid up capital and
surplus of the member bank. The bill
passed yesterday gives the Federal
board discretion to remove this linn
itation at any time.
The House yesterday put a quietus
on the cotton currency plan. 1t de-
feated this proposal by an overwhelm-
ing vote after a speech in criticism
made by Mr.. Glass. The House also
recommitted the bill, permitting the
immediate transfer of reserves from
the member banks to the Federal re-
serve banks.

he did for an appreciative audience at
the Belasco Theater yesterday afternoon.
The troubles of Mr.. Pickwick were
enacted by Mr.. speaight in five episodes
labeled, Mrs. Bardelrs Mistake" a
Horses" "a Remarkable Shooting
Party" Sam Weller Very Much in Evil
dence," and THE Great Trial OF Bardell
VS.. Pickwick." in the last of which Mr.
Speaight was truly wonderful, differ
entiating each of the characters in at
tendance at the famous trial of Mrs
Bardelrs suit for breach Of promise of
marriage, so that they stood out clear
and convincing.
He uses neither costume. makeup, nor
scenery, and relies entirely on the play
Of his features, instantaneous character
changes, and novel stage business for ef-
fects, which are so remarkable that at
one point in the narrative yesterday he
even seemed to bear physical resemblance
TO a horse in the mind and eye of his
enraptured audience.
Those few to whom Dickens favorite
tales are unknown, or who are too lazy
to familiarize themselves with the char
-acters of England's master novelist, have
a great treat in store next Tuesday after
noon December Is, at 4:30 o'clock, when
Mr.. Speaight will give 'Micawber-wait-
ing for Something to Turn Up" All other
intelligent people Of Washington will os-

PROTEST AGAINST PLAN
follower THEIR WAGES
Navy Yard Machinists Do Not Want
Wage Boards Ideas to Go
Into Effect.

Protest against proposed reduction of
wages at the Washington Navy Yard
next year has been filed with Secretary
of the Navy Daniels by employees of the
big workshop, headed by J. F. Mcguire,
representative of the machinists.
The protest is a result of the wage
schedule recommended by the navy wage
board. 1t provides for a decrease of s
cents an hour in the wages OF the fol-
lowing employees: Hod carriers, janitors,
laborers, stable keepers, cupola key work
ers, oilers, armature winders, buffers
and 'polishers, cable splicers, wood calk-
ers, coppersmiths, electric welders, ma
chine operators, molders, steel casting
molders, patternworkers, shipwrights, tin
ners, and wiremen.
The proposal provides, however, for in
creases of a cents an hour for die
sinkers and engravers, % cents an
hour for stonecutters, and cents for
meters, ordnance workers, painters, pipe
filters, riggers, roofers, and rollers.
Wages of other employees will remain
practically the same
