T0ELECT HARDING
Republicans Collect $4,000
and Will Send $4,000
More to Aid.

William T. Galliher. chairman of
the ways and means committee of the
republican committee of the District
of Columbia, today said that the Dis
Itrict of Columbia was raising a fund
Of approximately $4,000 to help elect
Warren C. Harding to the presidency.
He was questioned in connection with
the charges last night by Gov. Cox,
democratic nominee for the presi-
dency, to the effect that $4,000, 900
fund was being raised by the repub-
licans for use in their campaign.
The local committee already has sent
approximately $4,000 of the proposed
$50, 900 fund to the republican national
committee headquarters in New York.
An effort is now being made to can
yass the District for an additional
$4,000.
! MI. Galliher states there is no Sc
cret about the fund, that the effort to
raise it is being made openly and
the additional $4,000 probably will
be raised within a short time All
prominent republicans here had al
ready been approached regarding con-
tributions to the fund. he stated, or
would be within short time.

DEFINES STATUS
ON RET|REDL|ST
Commission Authorizes "Pro.
visionaI Retention" of 200
Superannuate Employees.

Provisional retention in the gov
ernment service of about 200 super
annuates has been authorized by the
Civil Service Commission until the
applications for retention can be per-
manently decided upon by the CON-
mission.
Since the law authorizing separa-
tions from the service went into ef-
feet August 20 there has oeen SO some
question among the superannuates as
to exactly the status OF those VINO
were retained but who nave not as
yet been formally certified for reten-
tion for two years.
authorized the various departments to
give provisional retention to those
employees who are in this status. SO
that no superannuate may suner'
whether ultimately retained or re-
tired. -,
Gratifying to Employees.
This action of the commission is
viewed most favorably by the clvll
service employees themselves. The
commission has acted on great
many retention cases. but the mum
Der mentioned stIll remain to be con-
sidered.
All the facts in each case must be
We rified by the commission. and its

fore an employe may be certified fol

Hanging fire" for several weeks
Effect OF the Ruling.
Under provisional retention in the
service, the employe so affected re-
tains his status as an employe OF the
government until the case is nnally
settled by the commission. In case he
is ordered retained in the service he
merely remains at his desk. as II
nothing had happened. In case his
claim is not sustained he is ordered
separated from the service. and i'm
mediately put on the retired list.
So at present there are several
score superannuates who are yet on
Uncle Sans rolls whose cases are un-
der advisement, and all or part of the
number may be retained or all
dropped. 1t is likely that some will
be retained at their posts and others
retired This is.on of the complica.

figures as to retirements and reten-

CLEVELAND PARK
CITIZENS ASK NEW
CAR ROUTE TO CITY
Want Capital Traction Line
to Come Down 18th
Street From U.

Request for the building of a new
car line by the Capital Traction Com
pany on 18th street between U street
and Pennsylvania avenue was made
to the Public Utilities Commission to-
day by the residents of Cleveland
Park.
Attorney Conrad H. Syme, former
corporation counsel Of the District,
presented the petition and asked that
the commission hold a formal public
hearing on the question.
Engineer Commissioner Charles W.
kutz, chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission. said the commission in
tends to take up the whole question
OF street car extensions this fall, but
the date has not been decided upon.
Col. kutz expressed the opinion that
| a problem of such Importance should
wait until the commission is reorgan-
lzed by the appointment Of one or
both of the new Commissioners. IT
has been the desire of the commission.
the colonel said. ito hold the hearings
in the fall SO that any extensions de-
cided upon could be started next
spring.
Would Avoid Conge.tion.
The evident purpose of the people
OF Cleveland Park is to avoid the
congested conditions on 14th street by
having their cars turn down 17ti
street from U street From nth and
streets they ask that the new tracks
extend south on Connecticut avenue
and switch on to the H street tracks
Of the Washington Railway and Elec-
tr1c Company. From Connecticut ave-
nue. and H street they would have
the new route go west to 18th street
and south to Pennsylvania avenue. :
An official familiar with traction
conditions pointed out today that a
more feasible plan would be to ex-
tend the present Chevy Chase tracks
across the new Connecticut Avenue
bridge and have them consolidate with
the Washington Railway and Electric
Mount Pleasant tracks.
This official also suggested that If
the 18th street plan should be adopted
1t would be better to extend the new
line down Jackson place from III to
Pennsylvania avenue than to run it
west on H street from Connecticut ave-
nue. to 18th street and thence south
Able to Undertake Work.
The Cleveland Park petitioners
state that they believe the CAPITAL
Traction Company is financially able
to undertake the project and that it
should be ordered at the earliest pos
sible date.
They make the statement that the
Capital Traction Company needs more
trackage properly to serve the area
of the city west of 18th street and
north Of Pennsylvania avenue.
WheH the commission takes up the
question of extensions it is expected
that several citizens associations in
the city proper will present a petit
ton for more east-and-west lines.
Another suggestion which has been
discussed by the Federation of Citi-
zens Associations is that the south
bound 14th street track of the Capital
Traction Company be Joined to the
w. r. f. track at New York avenue,
to permit Capital Traction cars to
continue down 18th street to Penn
sylvania avenue. This would .elimi-
nate the necessity of Capital Traction
cars winding up New York avenue
and down 18th street to the Avenue

EXPRESS COMPANY TELLS
OF WAGE INCREASE NEEDS

Hearings on the application of the
American Railway Express Company
for an additional Is per cent rate
increase, totaling approximately $42,-
600. 600. were conducted today by the

The increase was made necessary by
the wage award Of the Railroad La
Dor Board, the company declared.
L. r. Gwyn of New York, chairman
Of the committee on wages and work
ing conditions of the express COM
pany, told the examiners that. al.
though it was originally estimated
that the increased wages would total
approximately $30.000,000, in reality
the increase would be $42.296,340, be-
cause it would also be necessary to
make a readjustment of the pay of
supervisory officials. The readjust-
ment would affect between 1000 and
3. 400 such officials, exclusive OF man
