Official of Carnegie institution
Suffers Bone Fracture and
lacerated Scalp.
BELIEVES THAT ROBBERY
WAS MOTIVE FOR ASSAULT
0utcries Bring Assistance and His
Assailant, an Unidentified Col
ored Man, Escapes.

Or. Louis A. Bauer, director OF the
department of terrestrial magnetism
Carnegie Institution. was assaulted last
night by an unidentified colored man
while on his way home along Chappeii
road northwest between Connecticut
avenue and Pleasant drive. Had 1t not
been for the quick response OF two
women to- his outcries 1t Is possible his
assailant would have killed him.
DR.. Bauer suffered a fracture of a
bone in his left arm and his scalp was
badly Iacerated. He was assisted to
the street cars by the two women and
he was able to go to his home at the
Ontario.
It is thought that DR.. Bauer's assail-
ant used a heavy club, but the doctor
told the police the force of tine several
blows he received made him almost be-
lieve the weapon was a crowbar.
Attack Occurs In Early Evening.
DR.. Bauer left the headquarters of
the department of terrestrial magne-
tism at 3Sth street and Belt road
shortly before s o'clock and within
few minutes thereafter he was at
tackled. He sow the man walking to-
ward him, he said. but there was no
tention to him.
When Dr. Bauer and the colored man
met the latter quickly turned and dealt
the doctor a severe blow on the top of
his head. Before the doctor could de-
fend himself a second blow was dealt.
Three other blows were delivered, one
of them striking the doctors left arm
and fracturing one of the smaller
bones.
t,,l hnnv
dealt the outcries of the man on the
ground attracted theattention of two
women referred to. who hurried to his
assistance. Mounted Policeman Belt,
who also had heard the doctors out
cries, overlook him on the way to the
street cars, with the women assisting
him. -.
The colored man. DR.. Bauer said,
made no demand for money. but he
thought robbery was the object of the
assailant.
Il was surprised that he made no de-
mand for money, DR.. Bauer told De-
tective Stringfellow. who saw him at
his apartment last night.
Is Assisted to the Car Line.
DIR. Bauer had managed to crawl to
one side Of the road and into the bushes
in order to prevent being run over in
case a vehicle should appear, and
within few moments his fair rescuers
assisted him from the thicket. helped
him to his feet and went with him to
the car line.
When the women met DR.. -.auer he
was bareheaded and did not have his
cane which he had always carried. His
hat was found on the road where the
assault was committed, but his cane
and an envelope containing papers
were missing.
Lieut.. Giles of the Tenleytown police
district led a squad of policemen in a
search about the vicinity of the scene
of the assault. The officers failed to
find DIR. Bauer's cane or the envelope,
nor did they find any clue to the per-
petrator Of the assault.

lame DUCKS" BARRED
FROM SOME SOFT Jobs
Offices Created During Their Terms
of Office Are Not for Them
to Fill.

The large flock OF lame duck" demo-
cratic members of the House who failed
to be reelected last Tuesday, looking
around for lucrative jobs under the
federal government, will find them
selves debarred from a number of fat
offices which they themselves have
helped to create, such as Offices with
the federal trade commission and fed
eral reserve board and as commercial
agents in foreign capitals.
The Constitution of the United States,
section s, paragraph 2, effectually pro-
hibits the appointment of any of the
lame ducks" to these offices before
March next. The language of the
Constitution is as follows:
mo senator or representative shall,
during the time for which he was
elected, be appointed to any civil once
under the authority. OF the United
States, which shall nave been created,
or the emoIuments whereof snail have
been increased during such time; and
no person, holding any ONCE under the
United States, snail be a member or
either house during his continuance in
office"
Knox Case Precedent.
During the Taft administration,
President Taft appointed Philander
Knox Secretary of State. Mr.. Knox at
the time was a member of the Senate,
and Congress had recently increased
the salaries of members of the cabinet.
After Mr.. Knox had been appointed, it
was discovered that the constitution
prevented his becoming Secretary of
State at the increased salary In order
to retain the office, Mr.. Knox agreed
to receive only the old salary until
such time as his term in the Senate
would expire.
While the President undoubtedly will
endeavor to care for a number of the
stalwart democrats who lost out in the
recent elections. it Is understood chat
the President already has made selec-
tfons for the federal trace commission,
and had made these selections before
the elections. Naturally they did not
include members OF Congress seeking
reelection. The President will not an

GOOD ROADS CONGRESS

C.. H. Atkinson, president Of the
Watertown Cement Products COM
pany, was home to spend Christmas
with his family, coming here from Chi
cago, where he attended the eleventh
annual convention Of the Road Build
ers of America. This convention Is
one of the largest meetings of its kind
held in this country, 1t being estimated
that there were 10000 people present
at the Chicago gathering. 1t was held
at the big stock pavilion, which covers
several acres. 1t was participated in
by city engineers. state and county
highway engineers, state highway
commissioners, r~oadbuilders and paw
ing contractors and road material and
implement men. The association en-
braces both this country and Canada,
the president of the organization at
the present time being a Canadian.
In conversation with the Register
MI. Atkinson related some facts about
the gathering which we know will be
of interest locally.
1.-THE one thing that most impressed
me at the convention" said Mr.. Atkin-
son, "and what you might call the key.
note of the gathering was that good
roads mean more to the upbuilding Of
the United States at the present time
than any other one phase Of our ma
tional life. The building of good roads
will do as much to develop this coun-
try at the present time as the building
of railroads did forty years ago. Good
highways will develop the country dis
tricts, get the people out Of the cor.
gested centers and make rural life and
the farm home more attractive.
There. was a great difference Of
opinion as to the kind Of roads that
should be built. Delegates from the
eastern and central states advocated
permanent roads Of brick or concrete
sixteen feet wide. Others from the
west ana south favored building good
