PALMER RULING

Lehlbach Explains Congress
Stand on Retirement Of
Federal Workers.

Decision OF Attorney General
Palmer yesterday that government
employees who have reached retire.
Tnent age but who have not served
II minimum of fifteen years shall
be automatically dropped from the
service without the retirement an
nuity. is correct. according to Rep
resentative. Frederick II. Lehlbach.
Of New Jersey. one of the authors
OF the retirement legislation.
1t was the intent OF Congress.
Lehlbach said last night. that these
employees should be dropped unless
they are still eff1cient workers and
the head OF the bureau in which
they are employed certifies to their
efficiency.
In the opinion OF Mr.. Lehlbach
there are very few employees in the
service who cone under the pro-
visions of the re etirement law that
would be forced out " ithout an an
nulty because OF not having oeen
employed the requiI ed lumber of
years.
Only Civil Service employees are
eligible for retirement, he said, and
under the Civil Service regulations
every position in the government
service has a maximum age limit
beyond whichc persons are rot elli-
gibIe for appointment. Very few OF
these positions are open to men as
old as So years. and anyone com
ing into the service at 55 would see
fifteen years of iervice before reach
.ng retirement age, he said.
In the few cases where employees
reach retirement age without hav-
ing served the prescribed fifteen
years. Mr.. Leblbach said. they may
be continued in employment If they
are efficient.
81 do not understand that de-
partment heads would arbitrarily
withhold efficiency certificates II the
cmploye is efficient." he said.

CALLS ANARCHY

Senator Walsh Tells Catho-
lie University Graduates
To Shun Both.
JUSTICE MUST REIGN
Discomfort too Plentiful for
Continued Health Of
Nation.
JUSTICE MUST REIGN

"Shun as you would a kissing
serpent the false teachings of the
revolutionist and the money-wor-
shippers" Senator David i. Walsh,
of Massachusetts,, declared in his
address yesterday morning at the
annual commencement exercises of
the Catholic University. Justice
and truth alone can make for world,
national or individual peace and
happiness" he said.
Senator Walsh discussed at length
dangerous tendencies in the radical
thought of the day and pointed out
to the graduates and alumni the
opportunity educated men and wom-
en- of the country have to combat
the sophistries which threaten the
American people.
"Discontent and dissatisfaction
nave permeated every stratum of So
'ciety," the Senator continued. This
dissatisfaction in the existing order
of mans relationship to society and
to government may not be so great
as some allege, but there is alto
gether much more of it than Is
healthy.
Men who have been watching the
tremors and vibrations of the social
organism believe we are approach
ing a condition which, IL II contin-
ues to expand, will sooner or later
lead to an open contest for or
against policies and political doc
trines that may involve the destruc-
tion of the government"
The Rt. Rev. Thomas ]. Shahan,
rector of the university, told the
graduates of extensive plans for the
expansion of the university and
predicted it would have a growing
influence on the educational world
and society.
Bishop Shahan presided and de-
grees were presented by the deans
of the several schools as follows:

Had Not Retired.
/ Barnes said Elwell always retired
on reaching home. Yet. when ms
body was found. the bed had not
been used that night. However, he
must have intended to retire. Barnes
said, because he had removed his
false teeth and toupee. Knowing
the character OF his employer,
Barnes declared he would never
have laid his teeth and toupee aside
had anyone been in the house with
him.
The theory on which police are
working is that Elwell was JUST
ready to retire when the door bell
rang. He answered and a man was
either admitted or forced his way
into the home. Although there was
no sign of a struggle, police be-
lieve the two men argued until
shortly after Z g. m, when the mail
was delivered. Elwell, they believe.
went to the door again, obtained
his mail and was glancing over one
of the letters with the visitor sit
ting opposite him when the shot
was fired.
The bullet ranged upward, lead
ing detectives to believe that the
murderer fired from his lap or his
coat pocket. In this case he was
probably an expert marksman, as
the bullet entered the center or
Elwelrs forehead.
In statement published today
Miss Krauss. a member OF the party
with which Elwell attended the
theater the night before his muir
der, declared Elwell's attitude
toward her was not any more than
that of a friend. and that as a
suitor he possessed no attraction
for her whatever.
Four I'm Party.
Miss Kraus told of the peculiar
incident that happened at the din
ner party at the Ritz, before they
went to the theater Thursday night.
The party was reported TO have
been in celebration of the success
full termination of Miss Kraus' ef-
fort to obtain a divorce from VIC

however Besides Miss Kraus and
Elwell the party included Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewisohn. AS they sat down
at the table Won Schleigell, accom-
panied by woman, entered the
dining room and occupied nearby
table.
Following a dance. Won Schlegell
and ElwelI were close to each other
on the floor. Won Schlegell said he
spoke to ElweH and that Elwell re-
piled pleasantly. Lewisohn differed
with this statement by Won Schle-
gell. He said Won Schlegell spoke
to Elwell, but that the slain man
ignored the greeting.
Won Schlegell told authorities he
was unable to recall the name of
the woman who accompanied him.
He said after leaving the Ritz, he
took her to her hotel. The next
morning she had breakfasted with
him at a. m. in his apartment.
The woman was dressed in black,
wearing a large black hat.
Won Schlegell is a graduate OF the
