BUREAU HEADS
USED THREATS
Federal Employees Claim Those
Testifying Before Pay Re-
visers Suffer intimidation.

Instances Of intimidation by OFF,
ciais OF employees who appeared be-
fore the Congressional Joint commits
sion on reelasslhcation OF salaries
we're disclosed this pornipg. While
complaints were not lodged directly
with the commission, II Is known
that the commissioners will defend
anyone unjustly treated because or
testimony on wage and employment
conditions given them.
Following recent reclassihcation
hearings a number OF employees are
said TO have been called to the car
pet" by their superiors for their ut
terances as to low pay and intoler-
able office conditions,
Accuse Bureau Chiefs.
Particular exception has been
voiced by certain bureau chiefs, II
is understood, to charges OF favor
itism. Cognizent that such a condi-
ton Is prevalent in the Government
departments, the reclassincation
commission in it's recommendations
to Congress will indicate well-defined
lines of promotion for the deserving
empioye to offset any partially.
Several briefs presented to the com
mission were especially severe in
their denunciation OF sweat shop"
working conditions. While the heads
Of such departments were not direct
ly charged as being responsible for
, these conditions. the intimation was
strong enough that they were, II was
declared this morning.
Threaten Dismissal.
Resentful of such disclosures II Is
understood that certain persons in
authority have made 1t unpleasant
and even threatened Dismissal for
those under them who served on ad-
visory committees in reclassfication
work.
Should any dismissals actually
grow out of employees activity in
this respect. 1t is believed that the
commission would take action and
thoroughly investigate the case.
Evidences that the work of the
commission Is rapidly nearing close
were seen about 'reclassification.

Tense of his measure, declared that
his bill, IL passed, would not change
the present tax rate OF the District'
that under the present system there Is
piling up In the Treasury surplus
which cannot be used unless the pres
ent law Is repealed; that the reason
for the half-and.half legislation no
longer exists; that tax payers or the
District of Columbia enjoy tax rate
lower than that OF any city OF SIM
liar size in America.
Can anyone successfully defend
system which permits the pilins UP
of a fund raised by taxation that can
never be made use OFF," asked Mapes.
''Is there any better time to remedy
the situation than now when the GOV
ernment Leeds the money SO much
and the people are demanding a re-
duction of useless expenditures? Can
anything be more useless than tho
continuation Of such a system"
Mapes told the House that the sur
plus in the Treasury now exceeds
$4,000 900. Within the next three
years. he said, the entire bonded In
debtedness of the District would be
paid off, after which the District sur
plus would be increased at approxi-
mately half q million dollars year
ain addition to the amount now be-
ing added to tn surplus to the credit
Of the District every year."
Opponents Of the bill expressed con-
fidence today that the half-and-half
system would receive stronger support
in this House than from any previous
House before which the half-and-half
has been considered.

He is satisfied, however, that the car ger of this particular bear will soon be over. He says the trap will never let go, and he believes it will even- tually, though perhaps not for . month or so, cause the bears death.
 From hair found near the trap, Mir. Musgrave is inclined to believe the bear is a silver-tipped grizzly, an oc- casional specimen of which gets down into this section. He believes the animal has been nipped before, because the other front paw, as shown by the tracks, is not more than stub.

CONVERT YOUR FOUR
 PER CENT LIBERTY BONDS

Joe P. Wilson, cashier of the Ari- zona Central bank, calls attention to the following:
 Liberty bond investors of the Twelfth Federal Reserve district, hold ing approximately $67 100000 worth of 4 per cent temporary bonds, are suffering an approximate annual loss of $167 900 because they have not pre- sented their temporary bonds for con- version into 4 IA per cent permanent bonds.
 Local banks have spent thousands of dollars in advertising to spur their clients to exchange their temporary bonds for the permanent bonds carry ing higher rate of interest. Despite their efforts and the fact that the sec- retary of the treasury reserves the right to terminate the privilege of converting the per cent bonds on six months public notice, $67 7,000,0 worth of securities remain unex- changed.
 Although the conversion privilege has not been withdrawn by the secre tary of the treasury as yet, and six months public notice of such with drawal will be given before the privil- ege is terminated, to secure the benefit of IA per cent from Nov. 15, 1920, holders of 4 per cent second loan bonds must present them to any bank for conversion in order that the bank in turn may forward the ponds to reach the federal reserve bank of San Francisco on or before Nov. IA, 1920. Four per cent second loan bonds re- ceived by the federal reserve bank of San Francisco Nov. 15 1920, or on or before May IA, 1921, will be converted, but the increased in ter est rate of one quarter of one per cent will not be- come effective until May 15, 1921.
 For temporary 4 per cent bonds presented, permanent 4 IA per cent bonds will be delivered

BORDER GUARDS TO STOP
 CATTLE CROSSING, URGED

The Arizona livestock sanitary board at its next meeting will consid- CT proposal by the New Mexico cat tie sanitary board that New Mexico and Arizona station inspectors along the state boundary to prevent the crossing of livestock without inspec- tion, members of the Arizona board said.
 The New Mexico board, in making the proposal, which was received re- gently, suggested that four inspectors be used, and the expense shared equal ly by the states. It was pointed out that a similar arrangement is in ex- istence between New Mexico and Col orado.
 According to the New Mexico board, numerous complaints have been filed regarding cattle alleged to have been driven across the state line without inspection. Reported peddling of beef in Springerville and St. Johns, Ariz., and in Reserve, Quemado and Luna valley, N. M., was also mention ed.
 Secretary Ed w. Stephens of the Arizona board said that while he ap- preciated the value of the additional protection proposed, the boards pay roll was now up to $6000 month with 70 inspectors employed.

CATTLEMEN TO SHIP
 STOCK TO TEXAS

Due to the impending drouth in this part of the state number of Cochise county cattlemen are contem- plating the shipment of greater DOT ton of their herds to the Texas pas lures.
 Among those who have announced their intention of shipping within the next few weeks are Fred Bennett, whose range is located in the Dra- goons; Cowan & Davis, range in the Sulphur Springvalley and Government Draw; Stephenson Brothers, range in the Sulphur Spring Valley; The F Cattle company, range in the valley and Government Draw; John and Ernest Escapule, range in the Ora goons. Several others whose names are not available will also ship, it is reported, making total of over 5000 head of cattle that will leave the Ar izona range within the next two weeks. Shortage of grass at this early stage of the year, with pros. poets of a lean range during the fall and winter is said to have prompted the cattlemen to ship their herds in order to save their stock. The pro cess of shipping and pasturing throughout the winter is a very ex- pensive. one and if the cattlemen break even on the deal they consider themselves fortunate. Water is also very scarce this year, they say.-Ar- izona Cattleman.

 MT. Musgrave went into the can yon with several big traps. He baited them with honey. The bear sprung one of the traps, then ate the honey; but was less fortunate with the next one, which grabbed him we'll above the paw. The brute must be powerful monster, for he broke the half-inch iron swivel by which the trap was connected with the chain and log, leaving both chain and log behind. Mir. Musgrave took up the fresh trail and followed the bruin all day, getting within hearing distance of him three different times, but owing to the den- sity of the underbrush, was unable to see him. Then he sent for dogs and started out again. But at the end of the day the dogs feet played out. They got up on the bear several times, but would not attack. In some instances, but the quarry went up steep bulffs that the dogs could not climb and had to go around.
 By the time the dogs were worn out, MT. Musgrave was also, chiefly because he had bruised his left foot and blood poisoning had set in, the inflammation and pain extending clear to his neck. So he came back to Flagstaff for medical treatment.

BEAR NOW HAS TRAP
 TO HANDPAW HIM

M. E. Musgrave, state predatory animal inspector, got back the other day from a strenuous hunt of several days down in Sycamore Canyon for a big bear that for long time has been slaughtering cattle in that section. He came back without the bear and also without one of his big traps, which said bear is now carrying around on one of his front paws.
 The bear has been killing cattle for Dr. Looney, M. A. Perkins, Mic Per kins, the Coconino Cattle Co.,, and others. His particular favorites were cows fresh with calves. Invariably he broke the noses of the cows, then spread them square on their backs, breaking the rear legs apart, after which he feasted on the milk-filled udders, topping off his repast with the calf's stomach.
