FOR FEDERAL WORKERS
c. B. Hemingway Believes His Plan
Will Meet Ali Objections Made
TO Former Bills.

A retirement measure for Superannu-
ated government employees has just been
prepared by c. B. Hemingway. so2 18th
street northwest. Mr.. Hemingway says
he believes his measure will meet all
objections made to bills heretofore in
,roducet., as, in his opinion, it does not
5ut any additional expense on the gov
e-nulent. He says it will provide rapid
promotion, viii be entirely acceptable
70 the employees, because it conforms
70 the Cancns Of equity, justice and
common sense and does not withhold
part of their pay, and would accomplish
the object-the regeneration of the
force"
THE bill" he continues, probably
would result IN about 10000 retire
nents now. making promotions Tor
about one-rhird of the employees, ana
about 5000 retirGment$ a year here
after, promoting about one-sixth annu-
ally.
Through such promotions the pay
would become adequate TO enable those
in service to make provision for sub
S;stence after retirement and would
give full and fair warning 70 do So
Plan of Retirement.
The plan provides that when al EN-
pioye reaches the age Of sixty-iive or is
disabled before that time lie shall be
certified TO the civil service commission
Tor examination. The commission is
TO be furnished a report showing the
character Of the work of the .-mployc
for the previous five years and show
ing his efficiency as compared with
others in the same grade. If the COM
mission finds the efficiency below that
of others it shall recommend retire
nent. It also provides for biennial ex
animation by the commission or an ex-
animation whenever material deprecia-
ton in efficiency is shown.
The plan also provides that those who
retire within one year from the pas
sage OF the act shall be paid 500
month: two years, s4S: three years. S45;
four years, s42; five years, SS9; six

A. P. MOVE KILLED IN
CUTHBERT BY TUML|A
SAYS HE SHOT SON-IN-LAW TO
PROTECT DAUGHTER-cOR-
oNER'S JURY, UNSUITABLE.

News was received in Dawson Fri
day that A. P. (Pet) Moye, a prom
lnent and widely known citizen of
Cuthbert, was shot to death by his
father-in-law, c. L. (Doc) Tumlin,
equally prominent and well known
as citizen.
On a plea of justifable homicide
Tumlin was later discharged by a
coroner's jury.
Reports of the tragedy say inter-
ference on the part of Tumlin in be-
half of his daughter, Mrs. Moye, in
a family quarrel, was the cause of
the homicide. 1t is said that Mr..
Moye, who was drinking, resented
this action and started to attack his
father-in-law with knife, when the
latter shot him with a pistol. The
Moye's lived in the Tumlin home.
Both the principals in the unfor-
tunate affair are well known in Daw-
son and throughout this section, and
Mr.. Tumlin has relatives here, where
ne and his family have frequently
visited. Mr.. Moye, who is a son of A..
j. Moye, one of the wealthiest citi-
zens of Randolph county, bought cot
ton in Dawson some years ago. He
is survived by his wife, two dauqh-
ters and two sons.
