PLAYGROUND NOTES
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o 9

B. H. Robbins Of Fargo, who was
scheduled to be here about the goth
of June to take charge Of the play
grounds, has informed the play
ground committee that he will be un-
able to take the position. j. L. Mon
son, who has been supervising play
ground work, pending the arrival Of
Mr.. Robbins, will continue as play
ground instructor at least until Com
pany K, of which he is a member,
goes off to camp.
On account of summer school ses-
sions for the next five weeks, Mr..
Monsoon will keep the children off the
school grounds during the morning.
The upper grounds, however, will be
utilized during that time with base
ball and other games, boys over nine
years of age being allowed to partici-
pate.
Mr.. Monsoon has organized a rifle
club of ten or twelve boys, who on
certain mornings 60 out for rifle
practice, DR.. C. N. Barker furnishing
them the targets. The club is of the
nature Of a hiking gang and go out
on tramps occasionally.
The afternoons will be devoted to
girls of all ages and boys under nine
years. Evenings are open to all. A
sand bin will soon be put in for the
enjoyment of the little tots.
Mr.. Monson is we'll satisfied with
the attendance on the grounds, which
seems to reach the highest point ct
1920 a.. m. and 400 p. m. The
average number present at any one
time being between 60 to 70. This is
a pretty good showing.

PLENTY TRAVEL THIS WAY

Thursday last was a busy day in Iditarod, because of the number of persons departing for the Outside over the Seward trail. Several of those departing were among the num- Der who usually take the last boat out, but this year there seems to have been a general desire to await the opening of the winter trail rather than to suffer the discomforts and perils of a trip in a small boat to St. Michael.
 The first team to get away was in charge of Bob Grifis, the veteran musher and former mail carrier, with Charles Ross of the Miners & Mer- chants Bank as a passenger. Mir. Ross will go as far as Tokotna with Mir. Griffis and there await the arri- val of Henry Riley, with whom he will proceed to Seward.
 Henry Riley and Al Walsh got away later. Mir. Walsh goes only as far as Ophir at present, and Mir Riley, after transacting business at Tokotna and Candle creek, will re- sume his journey to Seward.
 Among the others who departed or were preparing to depart were Gillie Bates, Harry Johnson, Angus Me Kinzie and his son, Ernest, Joe Lor- enger and Chester Brink, and several others. There promises to be plenty of travel on the trail this winter, as most if not all of the persons leaving intend to return in February or March.-Iditarod Pioneer.

COMMONER HAS TAKEN
 A LEAVE OF OLD STATE

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 1.-As one of the results of the election, Nebraska is to lose William J. Bryan. He has dismantled his home at Fairview, shipped a portion of the furniture to his winter home at Miami, Florida and is sending his large library, which he greatly prizes, to his summer home at Asheville, N. C., where it is saic he will live and cast his vote. Fair view is said to be for sale, although Mir. Bryan's brother, c. w. Bryan, denies shat Mir. Bryan has left Ne braska for all time. Many Nebraska Democrats believe he has his eye on the Prohibition Presidential nomina- ton in 1920.
 Mir. Bryan has been deposed as the Democratic leader in Nebraska by United States Senator G. M. Hitch cock, who was reelected over Mir, Bryan's most determined opposition. Furthermore, Keith Neville, a then unknown young man from the west err part of the state, ,yho was taken up by Hitchcock, defeated Charles w. Bryan for the Gubernatorial nomina- and afterwards was elected Governor ever the opposition of both William J. and C. w. Bryan and all their rriendS.-EN.

AUSTIN PLEADS
Clerks CAUSE
Member Argues Pay Should
Be Raised for All U. S.
Employees.
BORLAND RAPS PRESS
Representatives Have Warm Debate on
Appropriations Measure in House
of Representatives

A horizontal Increase In the salaries OF
government clerks to bring their COM
pensation more nearly in proportion to the
increased cost Of living was strongly
urged on the floor of the House by Rep
resentative Austin. of Tennessee, during
consideration OF the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill. The de-
bate which ensued is printed herewith:
Mr.. Austin-Mr Chairman. move to
strike out the last two words. While we
are discussing this general subject, wish
to submit some observations for the con-
sideration OF the Committee on Appropria-
tons, as well as the other members of
this body.
No General Increase.
think it an important matter for Con-
gress to consider the question Of a new,
Up-tO-date Reconsideration Of the clerical
force Of the government Not only should
we do this in the interest Of the public
service and in Justice to the clerks and
the respective bureaus OF the various de-
partments. but a readjustment and in
crease Of salaries. from the lowest to
practically the highest, in the govern
ment service.
My understanding is that there has not
been a general increase in the salaries of
the government officials since 1854.
Mr.. Borland-What was that statement
that there has not been a general in
crease in the salaries OF the government
officials since 1854?
Mr.. Austin-No general increase in the
salaries OF government officials since 1854
I read that statement in one OF the daily
Washington newspapers.
Mr.. Borland-That ought, then, to be
absolutely incontestable. Does the gen.
tleman say that there have not been in
dividual increases in the general appro-
priation bills?
Mr.. Austin-T said a general increase in
the salaries of government officials.
Mr.. BOrland-I never knew of a general
increase, and neither does the gentleman
know Of such. There have been increases
Of all departments in separate bills.
Mr.. AUstin-NO; we will take, for ex-
ample, the Library Of Congress, and In
this bill we carry an increase, and in
the case Of other bureaus Of the gov
eminent, where the same argument
would apply, we pass them over and do
nothing; and then We will come here at
the next session Of Congress with an
other appropriation, with a favorable
recommendation for an estimate from
the head Of a bureau recommending an
increase for perhaps a limited number.
We have had this partial and piecemeal
method Of increase here and there, and
will have it in this Congress, and in the
following Congress, year after year. But
We have never had in my recollection
and I entered the service Of the govern

SLOANE OPENING TOMORROW.
New Home at 1908 III Street Ready
for Rug Establishment.

w. & ]. sloane, of New York and
Washington, will open to the public to-
morrow morning their new establishm emit
at 1908 H street northwest with a display
of furniture and rugs seldom, If ever,
equaled.
The moving from the old home of the
concern was completed yesterday, and
the FIRMS stock OF floor covering has
been distributed about the spacious floors
Of the new quarters. Furniture is a new
departure for the Sloane company, but
the third floor of the new building will
be entirely devoted to that branch.
The main display room, which occupies
the entire ground floor of the building,
contains a big plate glass window run
ming its entire length and a large vesti-
bule with double doors. It is finished
with a hardwood floor. The ceiling is
supported on square white pillars that
line each wall and carry heavy dropped
Orders.
Each floor constitutes a single room
% by Ill feet. On the third floor is a
large and varied collection OF furniture
The main floor will be devoted to carpets,
rugs and draperies.

cheney commission that Ia without that
authority.
Pleads for Better Pay.
Mr.. Byrns, OF Tennessee. The gentle
man seems disposed TO criticize the COM
mittee or to intimate that the commit
tee possibly has not done what It should
have done along that line. want to ask
the gentleman IL he, as member OF
Congress, has introduced In this House
a bill seeking to raise the salaries OF
clerks from what they were as established
years ago?
Mr.. Austin. Mr.. Chairman. will an.
swer the gentleman's question. IL is
the duty of standing committees OF this
House to report legislation in the inter-
est of the public service, and no man
who serves on these committees can shift
the responsibility to a member OF this
House who is not on the committees and
has not the opportunity and the chance
to bring 1t in. I am not criticizing the
committee. / suggested to the Commit
tee on Appropriations what ! think ought
to be done in Justice TO the clerks in the
various departments Of the government
Mr.. Byrns, OF Tennessee-of course, the
gentleman is entirely familiar with the
the Committee on Appropriation, has alb
solutely no Jurisdiction of legislation
such as the gentleman has indicated.
Mr.. Austin-There must be committees
Of this House that can frame such leg
islatton, recommend It, and report II
to this House.
Mr.. Chairman, the minimum wage in
the Ford automobile factory at Detroit
is s. day and the wages are from s.
to so a day. Here, in the conduct of the
affairs of this government, where we re-
quire the highest and most accurate serv-
ice, clerks who have spent half a CEN
tury in the service are drawing 81 200
and 81, 400 a year. think we have reached
the time in this country where we ought
to have a readJustment, q reclassifica-
ton. and an increase Of salaries for the
clerks in every class, especially the la
borers, the watchmen, and the messen-
gers. Some people in the Bureau OF En-
craving and Printing. who work stand
ing on their feet all day long operating
machines. are paid s1.75 a day, doing the
most difficult and trying work, work
which impairs their health. They re-
ceive less than $50 a month, yet we can
not find a way to remedy this condition,
which It seems will continue until time
shall be no more.

Might Use Police Census.

It was suggested last night by an
official of the District that such list
might easily be obtained through the
police census.
1t was further pointed out that since
1SSs-when the law under discussion
was enacted-the District National
Guard has been reorganized at least
once. 1t was regarded as possible that
the investigation might show that the
law referred to by Gen. Harvey is no
longer in effect.
Although the law expressly states
that these militiamen are to have no
duty required of them, except when
called into the service OF the United
States" Gen. Harvey stated that
militia encampments have been re-
garded as service rendered the United
States, inasmuch as pay is drawn from
the United States for the encamp-
ments.
The District militia is the only one
that comes directly under the Presi-
dent. and 1t is subject to orders by
the President just as a branch of the
regular army.

ALL SURPRISED
BY MILITIA Law
Commissioners to Investigate
Status Of Regulation Provid-
ing Compulsory Service.
FORGOTTEN n YEARS
District Service Recognized Since
Law Cited By Brig. Gen. Har-
vey Was Passed.

The Commissioners probably will
begin an investigation Immediately to
determine the status of the law max
ing military service in the District
compulsory for all able-bodied citi-
zens between IS and As years.
Brig. Gen. william E. Harvey. COM
mander of the District National Guard,
surprised the Commissioners and the
entire city yesterday when he dug this
law from the Congressional records
of twenty-seven years ago and pre-
sented it to the Commissioners for In
formation.
The law. which is part of the act
organizing the militia, provides that
the District assessors, in making their
assessments, shall determine who is
eligible for military service and COM
pile a list of such persons which the
Commissioners shall submit to the
commander of the militia. 1t was for
this list that Gen. Harvey wrote to
the Commissioners. The list was not
to be had, for no one but Gen. Harvey
seemed to know Of the existence Of the
law.
