TRADE EBOARDROW
GOES MERRILY ON

The row between the Federal Trade
Commission and the Navy Department
over quarters for the former in the
Navy annex on New York avenue
goes merrily on today.
When the navy posted a detail OF
armed marines about the annex yes
terday, the Trade Commission secre-
tary and a detail OF furniture movers
retreated to their own front at the
Dawson build ng. Fifteenth and x
streets northwest.
]. P. Yoder, secretary OF the COM
mission, was awaiting advices today
from the Public Buildings Committee
as to what course to take.
The commission had already decided
to give up its present quarters on
May 1, and the next occupant is al.
ready painting his sign there.

were sent to the Navy annex yester.
day, DR.. Cox, efficiency expert of the
Treasury Department, objected. He

ordered his men to carry on.

Shortly afterward, Captain Wood, OF
the marine corps, appeared with an
order from Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy Roosevelt to stop the Trade
Commission from moving into the
building.
When a detail OF armed marines
later appeared TO guard against any
intrusion by the Trade Commission

Some time ago the auditor for the
War Department, saying he required
more space for his department, got
permission from the Cabinet to use
a part OF the Navy annex
The Trade Commission had been as
sured previously that 1t could have
quarters in the annex. When the
Cabinet decided in favor OF the War
Department auditor, the commission
appealed to the Public Buildings
Committee. which has authority to
arrange for housing OF all Federal
agencies here.
1t was on the authority OF three
members of the committee that the
Trade Commission began moving into
the annex.
After yesterdays defeat the Trade
Commission will be forced to await
a meeting of the Public Buildings
Committee on May 10 before another
move is made. The commission today
was casting about for temporary
quarters, since il must vacate the
Davidson building on or before May l.

Exploration Of NIneveh.

The great rediscoverer Of Nineveh
was, of course. Sir Henry Layard.
who, In the early forties Of last cen
fury, having obtained the patronage
of Stratford Canning. British ambas-
sador at Constantinople. himself an
enthusiastic archeologist. journeyed to
Mosul and commenced work of exca-
walton on the mounds Of Nineveh in
real earnest. The story of the Won
der series of discoveries which fol-
lowed has been told wildly In his
book. "Nineveh and Its Remains" pub
lished In 1848. This work created q
great sensation. and the following year
Layard set out east once again, this
time as the agent of the British mu-
scum. with grant of $4,000 to carry
still further his great work at Mosul.
For more than a year his labors went
on steadily. The palaces Of Sennach-
crib and Ashurbanipal at Kuynj.k
were partly uncovered. as well as
those of Sennacherib and Esarhad1 don
at Nebi-Yunus, and In 1853 Layard
published an account Of his second
series Of excavations in lie book.

Famous Old Town Of Mosul.

The town of Mosul reached its
greatest prosperity toward the begin

capital. In the eleventh century IL be-
longed to the Seljuks and in the
twelfth. under the sway Of the famous

curious distinctions in history Is the
fact that the goyernorship Of the

The State Board Of Health has
just issued report Of vital statis-
ties for Kentucky for the year end
ing December 81, 1918. Despite the
unusual conditions resulting from
the war every phase Of the work has
been carried ont completely, and the
report contains some interesting and
instructive data. With . total Of
80, 449 deaths reported in the State
for the year, Kentucky has death
rate Of 1874 per 1000 population,
which is 2.6 per 1000 higher than
for any previous registration year.
The total deaths from influenza and
pnenronia for the year were 1857.
Of this number 5000 were from in
fuenza and 1878 from pneumonia
The combined death rate for these
two diseases was 5.3 per 1000 pop
ulation. As an index to what can be
accomplished by consistent and con-
certed action on the part of health
agencies, the report shows that the
death rate for tuberculosis during
1918 is 1875, while that for 1911,
the first year of registration, was
225.6. Also, the typhoid rate shows
a continued and gradual decline
since 1911. The Bulletin states it is
probate that we will have opporfun-
ity to observe further serious re-
suits of the influenza epidemic, as
the weakened vitality and lowered
resistance which is an aftermath
renders one particularly susceptible
to tuberculosis and other respiratory
diseases.

WILSON Rejects RAIL
EMPLOYEES DEMANDS

President Wilson told representa-
tives of railroad shop crafts, 100 OF
whom he received yesterday at the
White House, that the demands they
had made for wage increases Of from
10 to "a cents an hour could not be
met without perpetuating the high
living cost by further tax on all
the people, and that, therefore, he
had decided that the requests must
he refused. The President said that
he acquiesced in a suggestion made
nv Director General of Railroads
Hines that the shopmen should be
placed on the same basis as other
railroad employees by receiving for
eight hours work the same pay
which they received for the longer
workday of ten hours that was the
usual standard of the pre-war per-
iod. This would mean an additional
4 cents an hour, to be made retroac-
tive as of May l. To that extent,
the President said, he was willing to
meet the request for higher wages.
He emphasized however, that the
Administration had adopted, as
national policy, applicable to all la
Dor organizations, that large wage
increases which would keep up living
costs and must ultimately result in
disaster to the nation, could not be
granted at this time. The President
added that he felt the question If
adjusting wages to scale which
probably would remain a permanent
one could not be fairly approached
until it was determined to what ex-
tent living costs would be reduced.
He expressed belief that living
costs already were on the downward
grade, and that, if there was coop |
Grafton on the part of railway work
ers to prevent tieup of transporta-
ton, radical lower levels soon would
be reached.
Members of the railway shop /
crafts, about 100000 in number,
have just completed a strike vote in
which 90 per cent of the membership
cast ballots in favor of strike be-
ginning September 2, in the event
that demands they made for increas-
ed wages were not granted and the
policy of providing by congressional
action a board of review to consider
their claims was adhered to. Presi-
dent Wilson, however, held that an
entirely new situation had been ere
ated to which the recent strike vote
was not applicable, inasmuch as the
idea of establishing a Board of Re-
view, which had formed the basis of
the strike vote, had been abandoned,
and an entirely new proposition,
that of awaiting decision on further
large wage increases until more nor
NAL conditions prevailed in the eco
nomic world, had been placed before
the men. In view of this situation
he expressed the hope that the lead
ers of the employees in the shop
crafts would accept his judgment as
10 what was right and fair. at least
70 the extent of placing the matter
before the men prior to authorizing
4 strike.
