Nearly all letters to the White House
have been free from Knocking" Ex-

the candidates made by Congressman

OFFICIALS OF NAVY
BUSY ON WAGE SCALE

Tho Navy Department Is working
today on a new wage scale giving en-
ployes of the Washington Navy Yard
ar increase in wages.
The Navy Yards and Arsenals Wage
Committee, headed by Assistant Secre-
tary Roosevelt, decided on a fiat 10
per cert increase for all navy yards,
but it remains for the Navy Depart
ment to apply this increase to the diff
ferent grades of employees at the
Washington yard, and the new scale
thus required has not been worked
out.
Under the new wage scale skilled
employees of the lowest paid grade will
receive not less than $1.O4 a day less
than the highest paid workman. Here
tofore there has been a wider margin
between the lowest and highest paid
classes, giving the former in some in
stances little more than common la
Dor.
The new wage scale was granted at
request OF navy yard employees to
meet competition caused byincreased
war wages to mechanics in privately
owned plants.

FIRE INTERRUPTS
NEWLY LYWEDDuR|NG
APARTMENT QUEST.

A basement rubbish fire, a newly
wed looking for a place to live. a
soldier in uniform, and a clamorous
FIRE alarm gong entertained at the
Royden apartment house; 1919 r
street northwest, at 10 o'clock last
night.
By the time the fremen arrived
there were some sixty occupants Of
the Royden, dressed in everything
from evening to might clothes, flock
ing out of the corridor.
1t was about 10 o'clock when the
newly-wed-a prominent young attor-
ney-appeared at the apartment
house to inquire about permanent
quarters there. At the same time a
circle OF smoke appeared in the
lobby, emanating from the basement.
The elevator man dashed to the
nearest fire box and called the en-
gines. The newly-wed broke the
alarm cases in the lobby, and a pom
derous gong began to clatter. A SOL
der in uniform, hearing the noise,
rushed up the stairs and pounded on
doors.
As the gong cl.ttered and the SOL
der and the newly-wed WED with
each other in hammering on the
doors, the Railways began to fill with
people.
Then the firemen came. The
alarms were stilled.
And the newly-wed proceeded to
look over the hastily vacated apart
ments in his effort to find one he
liked. He succeeded and moved in
today.
The cause OF the fire has not yet
been learned. The damage was
slight.
