FEDERAL UNION.
. FLAYS MILLER
GO. p. Official Scored at Con-
vention for Favoring Whole
sale Discharges.
By stan Corrs.ooadent.

ST LOUIS, Sept THE National
Federation OF Federal Employees In
annual convention here today pro-
tested to the Republican National
Committee against the statement
made by Clarence Il. Miller. secretary
of tho Republican committee. that
100000 Government employees should
be discharged from the service.
charging the statement was campaign
propaganda
The Republican committee was Sc
verely scored for permitting such
propaganda, and a resolution unani-
mously adopted condemning such
methods was sent to Chairman VIII
X. Hays.
The resolution was introduced by s.
Tyson Kinsell, of Philadelphia, sixth
vice president of the federation. Mil
ler's statement that the cost of living
could be reduced by dismissing 100000
Government employees. whom he des-
ignated as superfiuous. was branded
as untrue by the convention delegates.
''The dismissal of 100000 employees
other than postal employees would
leave but 10000 employees for the en-
tire Federal seBvice throughout the
United States, while such reduction
would not affect the cost Of living ap-
preciably." the resolution read In part.
The convention was opened in the
Planters Hotel yesterday morning
with addresses of welcome by Mayor
Kiel. Of st. Louis, and Collector Of In
ternal Revenue George II. Moore.
Both speakers declared they were
strongly in favor OF organization or
employees and commended the Federal
Employees Union for its fight for in
creased salaries and better working
conditions. Moore advised all en-
ployes to join the union.
President Luther c. Steward OF the
federation, in a long speech, was ap-
plauded when he reviewed the accom-
phshments OF the organization during
the past year, which was held 20 be
banner year in the history Of the
union.

inmate, to death with a rock, to &c;
his clothes.
"Our investigation shows that
there was either collusion or at tn"
least, grave csrlessness in allowing
Hopkins at large said DR.. Noyes
this noon. "We deem a shake-up in
that part of the service wise for the
present, and further action Will be
governed by the result of the inquiry.
I'VE know this much-that Hopkins
went out of the ward through door
that he did not break out through
window. How he was able to do that
we cannot say. The guard who was
on duty declared he did not let him
out. We think the new rules which
we have promulgated. requiring a re-
port from every attache who has had
any responsibility for an escaped in
mate will forestall any such affair in
the future"
Coroner ]. Ramsay Newt, this
morning began an inquest into the
death OF Messett.
After the testimony of DR.. Murphy,
of the hospital staff. had been heard,
the inquest was adjourned. and will
be resumed in a few days.

police precinct, interviewed Hopkins

Hopkins declared that he could not
remember anything from the time he
left the hospital building until he
found himself on a cot in the prison
ward. He did not even remember
being shot, he told the police officer
The latter believe he is shamming.

have escaped since August 1 are still

They are Harry Weise, thirty

JUSTICE GOULD BACK
FROM HIS VACATION

Justice Could, OF the District Su-
preme Court, looking hale and hearty
and his face heavily tanned, returned
today from his vacation at Haven,
Me, and resumed his official duties.
Justice Gould, who has not been
feeling well before he left for his va
cation, due partly to a fall he sus-
tanned last winter on the icy pave
ment in front of his house and to the
great strain put on him by crowded
court calendar. said this morning that
no never had a better vacation. He
swore in tho new lunacy jury, at
tended to a lot OF miscellaneous court
matter and naturalized about 100 for
eigners.

Not a Single Plea to Be
Excused From Service as
Lunacy Jury Is Sworn In

A decidedly novel feature before
the new lunacy jury for this month
was sworn in today was that not
one OF the jurors offered any rea-
son why he should be excused from
serving. Usually the majority of
those summoned for jury service try
to be excused for one reason or
another. as a rule stating that their
business will not permit their alb
sence for any length OF time.
The new jury includes: Maurice
Otterback. Court f. Wood, Walter
Farran, Il. T.. BaltZ, Charles J.
Weedon, Clayton Adams, S. A.
Reeves, Charles A. Appleby, Norval
l.. Burchell, NJ l.. Buckley, Andrew

they always have been, but what OF

Tamale, Tamale, she's Hot Tamale Mollie.
Jazz gal through and through;
She wiggles and wriggles,
While evrybody giggles;
She likes her music blue
She's got movement that's neat ana
sweet
In which she does not use her feet
She's some baby!
She'd rather shimmy than eat
She hobbies and hobbies,
And does some funny wobbles.
Till she's out of breath.

And tickle you to death.

REFORM BUREAU MIXES IN.
Yesterday the International Reform
Bureau took hand in the pro
ceedings, declaring jazz immoral and
wicked waste OF time.
Here's the latest effect OF the con-
troversy:
The number OF Jazz phonogra ph
records sold here in Washington has
fallen off during the past week. ac-
cording to prominent dealers. They
are not able to say whether this is
due to the upheaval in musical
circles" but rather think that it may
be so.
No decided increase. however. is
| reported in the sales of the classical
records.
People seem to be firing of jazz"
said one f street dealer. This con-
troversy over jazz may help the
public in getting over the jazz idea.
Iu don't know. Jazz is more or less
| a fad, believe, and It probably
! cannot last much longer anyway,
While il did last, though, record
sales were heavy. That will prob

A message telling of the light
came to Hyattsville's official guar

automobile was chugging up to the
doorway. Citizens were giving the
house a respectful margin. Not so
with Garrison. Dismounting ana
tossing his spark key to by

searched the yard for footprints.
There were none. The intruders had
evidently come by aeroplane.
