ALL BUDGETS
ASK MOREPAY
Department Appropriation Bills
Are Unanimous in Favoring
Increases for Employees.

All of the departmental appropria-
ton bills, now in the hands of Sec
rotary of the Treasury Houston. con-
tain substantial increases in the
salaries Of Federal employees.
RELY ON CONGRESS.
While there Is no real ground for
hope that the House Committee on Ap-
propriations will accept these in
creases in advance OF a standardiza-
ton OF pay in the entire Government
service, II is felt that the united pres
sure for relief coming from all the
| executive agencies of the Government
! will have a strong effect on Congress.
Practically all Of the budget meas
ures are based on the assumption that
the war bonus rider to the Sundry
Civil bill should be eliminated and
that the question of adequate COM
pensation to the Government work.
ers should be placed upon a perma-
| nent. scientific basis. In several OF
the departmental reports. II 10 UNDER
stood, the rehabilitation and pay
questions are dealt with at length.
NEW LEADER PLANNED.
| Senator Jones OF New Mexico. who
has been spokesman in the Senate for
the Joint Congressional Committee on
Rehabilitation ever since it's incep-
tion. probably will discard the mantle
Of leadership at the short session. and
some Senator on the Republican side
1 Of the chamber will be asked to man
age the cause of rehabilitation in
the upper chamber Senator Johnson
! Of California. one OF the authors Of
the minimum wage bill; and Kenyon
of Iowa are among those who have
! been suggested for this work.
The friends of Reclass ification hope
| that the conflicts between the var
ious measures will be ironed out in
the Civ ! Service committees OF the
House and Senate at an early date.
and that the work itself will not be
caught in jam because of the
warning elements trying to put their
own particular plan "over."
! The new plan Of the Federation Of
Federal Employees has not yet been
published, nor has that of the Bureau
of Efficiency. but 1t is expected that
both will be made public in the near
| future. There are no radical de-
rartures from the Jones bill in the
new Federation plan, 1t Is UNDER
! stood.
IGNORES SALARY QUESTION.
herbert -. Brown, chairman OF inc
Bureau of Efficiency, has already
! stated that the plan that he will pre-.
sent is without any complexities and
really makes Of Redistribution mere
ly a division of the clerical, steno-
graphic and routine work of the
government into a few well-recog-
rtzed classes. He has left the salary
question to be worked out in the va
rious departments and to be differen-
!tiated according to standards of in
dividual efficiency within certain
ma ximum and minimum limitations.

SAY PERRYGO

Witnesses at Trial OF Alleged
Boy Slayer Attest His
Sanity.

A number OF lay witnesses today
were called by the Government in
the trial of Edgar Randolph Perry
go. the eighteen-year-old youth who
is charged with the staying OF Mrs.
Emily Faithful. The prosecution
sought to show that Edgar was "rs-
tional."
CALL HIM NORMAL
All the witnesses said they saw
nothing peculiar" In the youths ac-
lions. Miss Grace Anna Small. who
taught Edgar in the sixth grade, de-
clared the lad seemed normal. Upon
cross-examinatton, however. she sd'
mitted she had not paid much atten-
ton to the boy while he was In her
class.
Last week Miss Moore. who also
taught Edgar. said the youth often
suffered from severe headaches. and
that in her opinion he was not =
normal child.

1t was here that James O'Shea for
the defense jumped UP from his chair
and registered a heated objection to
the testimony OF Richardson. which
he had gotten In his capacity as

The testimony was excluded and the

and held up Henry Tyson, manager
Of the place, at the point OF pistols

Thhe hold-up men drove up In nigh

aiishted they told Tyson they were
prohibition agents and wanted to
search what they said were suspi-
cious automobiles. Following the
search they requested that Tyson sell
them some gasoline. As Tyson was
complying the men suddenly drew pis-
tolls and threatened to shoot II he
made an cutlery.
They backed Tyson against a large
touring car and took his .+5-c1liber
automatic revolver from him. At the
same time another member of the
gang busted himself by removing the
Pennsylvania license marker from a
machine. As they were about to de-
part they told Tyson he could get his
pistol and license marker at No.

POLICE SEARCH CITY.
Becoming Suspicious. Tyson tele-
phoned the police and reserves were
rushed from No. 3 precinct. For sew
eral hours the city was secured for
the bandits, but they succeeded In
eluding the police.
A cafe proprietor in Baltimore was
held UP early yesterday morning in
his establishment by three fake reve-
nue. agents, and the police here are
inclined to the belief that the men
who staged the hold-up here this
morning are the same gang.

Already President Wilson has be-
gun the preparation OF his message
to Congress, and it is expected that
1t will be completed within two
weeks. Necessarily the message will
not be long. but will rather be a
broad outline of what the retiring
Chief Executive believes to be vital
to the best interests of the country.
Unquestionably he will point to the
unenacted legislation he recommend
ed In the past two years.
During the week the President will
officially receive the new ministers
from Guatemala, Dominican Republic.
and Costa Rica. No date has been
fixed for the reception.
The President and Mrs. Wilson are
still engaged daily In seeking a home
in Washington or within the envir-
ons of the Capital. On their motor
rides each day they casually inspect
the different residences known to be
available, and in several instances
a detailed investigation has been
made by them. u is not expected
