SYSTEM OF CIVIL
SERVICE PENSIONS
URGED IN REPORT
COntributory Scheme Is Recon-
mended for Thousands Of
+ U. S. Government Employees.

A contributory system of civil service
pengions for the thousands OF Govern
ment employees in Washington and
throughout the country Is recommended
by the Civil Service Commission i'm it's
annual report to the President, made
public today.
The cofDmission also recommends leg
islation giving it power to fix abso-
lutely the punishment for violation of
the rules regarding political activity.
and suggests abandonment of the pub
lication' of the civil service register as
now issued.
Statistics on the service are given
IN detail and the commission calling at
tontion to the very slight net increase
m civil service employees, says:
Closer Cooperation.
''The Government is doing more work
with fewer employees and with increased
economy and efficiency. Each year secs
q more intensive application and OBJ
servance Of the rules, because the COM
mission is coming into closer touch with
the entire service and because of the
cooperation and SUPPORT of appointing
officers
on the subject of pS1~:ons and retire
ment, tho commission says:
I'm the establishment If improved ad-
l0lnlSLTaLlNe 1lcIIOuS
has been ecountered in dealing with
superannuated employees. The commits
sion does not regard superannualon az
an outgrowth of the merit system, out
DEALS with the subject OF retirement In
its reports because Of its relation TO
improved administrative methods.
Retirement Plan Urged.
"Superannuation Is older that the
civil service act, and any increase is
not a result Of the merit system. Ex-
aminations and efficiency ratings
tend to minimize approximation by
exposing incapacity that otherwise
would be hidden. The civil service
rules have never protected incompe-
tents. The improvements of methods
and the proper adjustment of pay
cannot be effectively provided for un-
til a retirement system is established
which will make provision for this
class of employees. The commission
believes that q contributory plan Is
the only just and practicable one for
the retirement of employees, and
earnestly urges its adoption at an
early date"

TheStOry Of the
Coat Collar
Dandruf

We often see well-dreSSed
men of otherwise splendid
appearance with coat collars
and shoulders marred with
tiny grains of dandruff. Yet
this disgusting condition is
easily remedied., If the hair
is given good hard brushing
daily and SpeiSer's Scalp
Tonic is used in connection,
dandruff will soon disappear.
Above all things, avoid
preparations containing CO.
coanut oil or alkaliS. Foam
ing solutions always contain
alkaliS, as do all soaps. They
serve to dry out the scalp and
cause more harm than good.
Speiser's Scalp Tonic gives
immediate relief and its con-
tinued use soon restores the
scalp to its naturally healthy
condition. 1t sells for Soc
and can be obtained only at
O'Donnell's Drug Store, 9O4
F street. Nj. O'Donnell has
such faith in this preparation
that he offers to refund the
money should it fail.

SEVERAL DICE
GAMES BROKEN
UP BY POLICE
SOME OF THOSE CAUGHT IN THE
FIRST RAID, IT is ALLEGED,
WERE coRRALLED AT OTHER
PLACES DISTURBED LATER.

Early Sunday morning. led by Chief
Sanders, fourteen negroes were round
ed up engaged. IT Is charged, in shoot
ing dice, and all were sent to the sta
ton. where most Of them, charged
with gambling or visiting place kept
for the purpose of gambling, we're
released ON small bond.
The police thereafter ran up on two
or three other places where crap
shooting was said to have been car
ried on, and some Of the darkies
caught in the first raid, were also
found at other houses rounded up by
the bluecoats.
The docket shows the names Of three
or four young negroes with three
charges of engaging in games of
chance docketed against them. and 1t
was explained they had been caught
at three different places.
Some rather humorous developments
followed the raiding of some of these
alleged places of gambling. At one
point, 1t was stated, the negroes were
SO deeply engrossed in the game that
the arrival of the officers did not have
the usual effect of scattering the par
Elephants. On the contrary, one ne
gro kept urging the others. 1t was
claimed, to keep on with the game
No use to run, now, keep on playing
till the wagon comes, ~ he was heard
to remark. And the game proceeded
until the gong of the patrol wagon
sounded.
At another place. where the darkies
claimed they were going to plead
guilty it was claimed that the player
did not pass" when the wagon ar.
rived, and prevailed upon the officers
to give him such an opportunity.
Warrants were made during the
evening for number, charging them
with gaming, and from various parts
Of the city during the night. parties
named in said warrants were sent to
The station. 1t was claimed that while
the wagon was returning to the sta
ion from one point, that a negro
hailed the driver and climbed in, say
ng that he belonged to the JAIL" and
it was discovered that he had been
one for whom a warrant had been is
sued. There are over two dozen to
be tried this morning, if all warrants
are served.

Various excursion parties which
had been planned for Sunday after
noon, with the mine ship. the cruiser
San Francisco. as the objective point,
were postponed, because Of the rough
weather which blew up during the
afternoon. and which had the effect of
causing the greater number Of small
craft to remain at their docks.
In the early part Of the afternoon,

aboard the San Francisco, but these
were glad to get ashore as early as
possible, for both going and coming,

do to keep on an even keel. and some

that II they ever did get ashore safe
again, they would think twice before
deciding to venture into the choppy
seas again.
The east winds which had prevailed
more or less since midnight of Sat
urday, had the effect OF causing the
bay to become quite rough late in the
afternoon of Sunday. At 5 o'clock, a
score or more were still aboard the
San Francisco. and as their own boats
were late in coming for them, these
visitors accepted the opportunity to
come ashore on the cruisers cutter
About the time some of the land lub-
bers had reached Palafox wharf, they
were in too much of a hurry to leave
the cutter to even have word of
acknowledgement of their appreciation
of being brought ashore in that craft.
The weather looked like it was go
ing to be a bad" night at dark last
night, and the weather observer said
that a storm warning was likely later.
as disturbance in the gulf had been
located over in the eastern part, near
the Louisiana coast. During the after
noon the precautionary pennant was
displayed.
