TO PUT ALL POSTMASTERS
UNDER CIVIL SERVICE LAW
President Wilson Favors the Poin-
dexter Amendment to Legislative
Appropriation Bill.

President Wilson, during his visit to
the Capitol yesterday afternoon. talked
with Senator Poindexter of Washing
ton, republican, and gave his approval
to the Poindexter amendment to the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill which would put every
postmaster in the country, no matter
how large the Office. under civil service.
The bill is now in conference, contain
ing this amendment which was adopted
by the Senate.
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana also
saw the President at the Capitol. He
told the President he would seek to
have the plan of the interdepartmental
committee of cabinet officers for han
ding the river and harbor appropria-
ton bill when the Senate reaches it.
Under this plan the recommendation for
appropriations for river and harbor i'm
provement would be made by four cab
met officers and three expert hydraulic
engineers, who would constitute a spe-
cial board. The House bill recommends
that members Of Congress act with
cabinet officials instead of experts.
Senator Ransdell says the Senate
should accept the original plan which
the President and cabinet had agreed to.

U. S. CLERKS SEE HOPE IN
ATTITUDE OF PRESIDENT
Promise to Give Salary Petition Full
Consideration Cheers Fed
eral Employees.

While President Wilson did not COM
NIT himself on the salary increase ques-
ton when the petition of $4,000 en-
ployes asking his aid was presented
yesterday. he promised that he would
give the mater full consideration.
Members of the committee, following
the meeting with the President, felt
that he would do everything he could
for them.
He told the delegation that he was not
going to commit himself regarding the
petition at this time, as he had not been
thoroughly advised as to just what 1t
contained, but he promised that he
would give the matter his careful at
tention.
When the petitions were piled on his
desk in little rolls the President smiled
and said it looked something like a
college commencement.
He told the delegation that he realized
the problems of those who work on a
salary, as he had been on salary all
his life, and that he had found salaries
very inelastic. He appreciated all OF
the difficulties, he said, and would go
thoroughly into the matter.

Views of Mrs. Hopkins.

Suffrage philosopher No. was Mrs. ].
A. H. Hopkins Of Morristown. N. j.,
who, as wife of progressive party
leader in that state, was guest at a
White House dinner given by the Presi-
dent about month ago to the political
leaders who had helped him in his cam
paign. The fact that Mrs. Hopkins was
on the outside looking in today. instead
of on the inside looking out, did not di-
ninish her good spirits in the slightest
degree.
It's part of the game she said. 'I
like President Wilson a whole lot and
would have worked for him just as
hard as Mr.. Hopkins did in New Jersey
last year If he had taken a positive
stand for the federal suffrage amend
ment. But he 6idn't, SO I just natur-
ally had to campaign against him
I'm hoping. however, that he will give
me chance to work for him some
day, but that chance won't come until
get the vote. Meanwhile, I'm here
doing picket duty to let him know that
the women of New Jersey want his
help in getting our amendment
passed"

NAVAL BOARD TO INSPECT
SITES FOR ARMOR PLANT
Will Leave Late in Week for Mary
land and West Virginia Points,
Then South and West.

The naval board which will inspect
suggested sites for the $11.O0O.0O0 ar
NOR plant will leave Washington late
this week for their first investigation
tour, which will take them into West
Virginia and western Maryland. Rear
Admiral Fletcher. head of the board,
has reported to Secretary Daniels that
tentative plans for a trip first into
Alabama and Georgia had been changed
because the members want to await an
analysis of ores in the Alabama dls-
trict before looking over the proposed
sites In that section.
After the trip through West Virginia
and Maryland the board will tour Ten
nessee, Alabama and Georgia, and later
will inspect suggested locations in the
Ohio valley and middle west. The
claims of each section will be carefully
sifted before those of another section
are taken up, with the board spending
several days in Washington between
trips to digest the data gathered.
Big Stone Gap Claims Presented.
Gen. Rufus A. Ayres, on behalf of the
board of trade of Big Stone Gap, Wise
county, Va, today presented to the
naval armor plant board table OF
freight rates and cost of assembling
material for operating the projected
armor plant, showing the great .advan-
tageS of locating the plant at Big stone
Gap, where it would be completely pro
tected from foreign invasion by the
Appalachian range of mountains, with
ample space for indefinite expansion.
The statement submitted shows that
the locality is served by four trunk
line railroads and that of the 1000
tons of material required annually. Big
Stone Gap can furnish $4,000 tons, at a
freight rate not exceeding % cents per
ton, making it possible to effect saw
ing of s15O,0OO a year in freight alone.
