NO new wage SCALE
At Yard BEFORE July
Secretary Daniels Makes Announce
ment After Study of Law
Involved in Case.
SATISFACTORY TO EMPLOYEES

Secretary Daniels yesterday announced
that pending the expiration of the pres
ent fiscal year there will be no change
in the wage scale at the Washington
Navy Yard. This is a most satisfactory
announcement for the employees of the
yard, who were facing a reduction that
would average more than g per cent as
a result of recommendations made by
the wage board of the yard.
The Secretary's decision was based
upon a stuCy made of the law involved.
The navy yard is now paid on a special
wage scale, made possible when Con-
gress last year Appropriated money for
an arbitrary increase of about 81 per
cent in the wage scale. This increase
holds good only until July /, unless the
appropriation is renewed in the mean
time. Although one law instructs the
Secretary u the Navy to pay wages in
conformity with the reports made by
the wage boards of the various yards.
the conflict with the law granting a spe-
ciaI increase to the Washington Navy
Yard makes possible the delay announced
in the Secretary's order.
The following announcement yesterday
was made regarding two other naval sta
tons:
AT the Indian Head proving grounds
slight increases were made in the wage
Of three ratings, amounting to about
5000 a year, with no reductions.
THE only remaining case to be decided
is that of the Naval Academy, and as
the appropriation in this case is specific.
any increase will mean an increase in
appropriation or reduction of force"

HOMECOMING IN COFFIN
AND NOT AS PLANNED
Sad Incidents Surround Murder of
Weston Burwel1 in Mexico and
Return Of Body Here.

Instead of the happy Homecoming that
had been planned after more than twelve
years. absence, Weston Burwell, the
young mining engineer, who was muir
dered by the Mexican federals near Tam
pico, in the Ozuhama district, Is being
brought back in coffin, and his mother
who has planned much on the long-de-
ferred family reunion, is in collapse and
may not live to attend the last services
over the body of her son.
The family home. at &C., Maryland ave-
nue. northeast, is scene of great sad
ness. Since the report reached here.
nearly two weeks ago, that the young
engineer had been killed his mother and
sister have hoped desperately that it
might be proved that this story was not
true. Yesterday, when they were Of
ficially notified by the Navy Department,
through Secretary Daniels, who is a per-
sonal friend of the family. that the body
had been recovered and would be brought
to Washington as soon as possible, both
mother and daughter were overpowered
by the sad news.
Today the sister. Miss Bessie Burwell.
went to Rock Creek cemetery to select
a burial plot. No further arrangements
for the funeral have been made, as it is
not yet possible to learn the date on
which the body will reach Washington.
The last seen of Burwell was February
10, when he left point below Tampico,
where he was in charge of dam con-
struction. to go in the interior to buy
mules to replace those stolen by federals.
1t was on this expedition, it is believed,
that he was murdered.

GROCERS' HALF HOLIDAY
THURSDAY OF EACH WEEK
Majority Of Anacostia Dealers Adopt
Plan Which Is Likely to
Continue Year.

Nearly all Of the grocers in Anacostia
have entered into an agreement whereby
In the future their places Of business will
be closed each Thursday afternoon at 1
O'Clock. The proposition was made dur
ing the summer Of 1913, when several
Of the grocers closed their stores for a
half day Thursdays. Others, however,
were not in favor of the movement, but
several weeks ago the matter was re-
vived and this year most of the grocers
agreed to close during the summer
months for this half day. Yesterday it
was unanimously decided by those who
subscribed to the agreement that the mat
ter would be a permanent one and that
the stores would close half day Thurs
days throughout the entire year.
The reason for this, as stated by one
of the grocers yesterday, was to give
the proprietors and clerks a halliday
holiday each week. 1t was cited that
the dealers in provisions were required
to work very long hours each day. and
late Saturday night, and it was only
fair to the employees that this arrange
ment be adopted. The interest mani
Tested in the movement by the citizens
of the suburb and their support accorded
the movement were also highly COM
mended by the grocers. who stated that
because of this interest the movement
had been made possible.

who has become enthusiastic over the
plan. is to meet the mixers in person and
guide them through the depths of the
park.

followed, but the bride paths will be
used.
First moonlight Hike"
1t was at first planned to hold the night
hike this evening. but on account OF
muddy roads and other complications 1t
was decided to postpone it until tomor-
row. This will be the first moonlight
hike" Of the wanderlusters.
Supt. Joyce thought highly Of the plan.
Declaring he wanted people to enjoy the

hikes: 1T Is the greatest movement ever
inaugurated in Washington for the bene-
fit Of peoples health" -
The plan for a night walk has met
with approval from many of the wan

the night walk will be more enjoyable
than the day hikes. since the weather is
cooler after the sun has set. Also
some point out that those who live IN
the city get but little opportunity to see
the beauty of the stars at night.
Everything considered. the mixers look
