Using the Pruning Knife.

Mr.. Wood of Indiana, who has
charge of the legislative bill. has be-
gun with a pruning knife and ex-
poets to reduce the number of civil
employees of the government by
some 10000. thereby reducing the
Wood feels that the executive de-
partments have made large estimates
because the heads of those depart
ments have no longer any direct re-
sponsibility for economy. as they
will not be a part of the next ad-
ministration when these appropria-
tions become available. He feels
that the responsibility is almost
wholly on Congress. and he will use
Bile the reduce the unnecessary gov
ernment employment and reduce the
government expenditures.
This pruning will extend to the
field as well as to the departments
in Washington, for reports indicate
that the field forces Of the govern
ment are quite as extravagant In
necessary people. They have also
developed expensive methods Of al
lowing per diem pay and expenses to
the government employees in the way
of travelling and hotel expenses when
away from home. The reports from
different parts OF the country show
that the internal revenue o1f1cials en-
gagged in enforcing the Volstead pro-
hibition law have their homes In
small towns or in the country. while
their work is in cities. SO that they
can collect travelling and per diem
living expenses in addition to theiI
salaries, adding many thousands tc
the cost of enforcing the law, anC
defeating the law of Congress fixing
their salaries.
The same tendency has been found
IN other department forces where
they are in the field. and In some oI
these field forces the pay has beer
doubled by the clever. use Of the pei
diem allowances for those who ar
compelled to be away from home IL

 TO ACCIDENT Coroner Finds Gar Crew Exercised All Dili-
 gence

The death of Michael Burns, who was crushed between two trolley cars last week, was due to accidental causes, Coroner Phelan declared in a finding made today. He stated that Patrick Nolan, motorman of the car on which Burns was riding and Frank Pinto, the conductor, had act ed with all reasonable diligence in the case.

 Although the testimony differed as to some details of the fatality all witnesses agreed that Burns was warned to get off the platform before a car approached on the next track.

LUCAS CLAIMS HE SIGNED A
 BLANK PAPER
Company Says He Did Not Pay Up Series of
 Notes

That he signed a blank piece of pa per when he bought a motor truck from the Columbus Motor Car Co. of this city was the claim of Laurence Lucas of this city, who appeared in the Common Pleas court today to tes- tify in the suit brought against him by the Motor Car Co. for $450 dam ages. It is claimed by the company that Lucas did not pay a series of notes which he gave in payment for the truck but Lucas declared the notes were paid.
 Harry M. Ford, an official of the Motor Car Co.,, declared the paper which Lucas characterized as blank was in reality a bill of sale and he said 1t was filled out as usual in such cases. He said he had a witness present when Lucas signed the paper. In addition to the notes Lucas turned over some personal property to the company in the deal for the truck. Judge Walsh reserved decision in the case.

NEW THEATRE
 FOR CITY NOW
 SEEMS CERTAIN
Negotiations For $500, GOO Playhouse Practically
 Completed

Negotiations for the erection of the new $50O,0 ,0G0 palatial theatre for Shu- bert and other Broadway productions have been practically completed. Al
 bert Hyde Donahue, New York financial promoter and representative of the Shubert interests was in the city this morning conferring with the capital that is being organized to pro
 ject the scheme. Options have been secured on several large pieces of
 realty within the center of the city,
 but possibilities point to Broad and
 State streets as the probable location.
 The new playhouse will be similar
 to the Shuberts' Majestic theatre in
 New Haven and will be built to ac- commodate 5000 persons. According
 to present plans the ShuEerts iNaend not only to put on their own produc- tions, but many other hits and runs that have gained popularity on Broad way.
 It was learned today that Pro- moter Donahue has been a constant visitor to the city since last October
 when the Chamber of Commerce first started active work to secure a | house of high class dramatic pro-
 functions. Most of his time has been devoted to Interviewing financiera and manufacturers and in selecting possible sites for the theater.
 MT. Donahue admitted this morn ing when interviewed by a Times reporter that the object of his pill grimage to Bridgeport was to ar. range a conference between the loca. 1 financiers and the Shuberts nex week. The promoters enterprise n giving the city a long felt want has aroused many other interests, and il has been rumored that MT. Domains may be asked to put across a mil 1 lion dollar hotel. He intends to sticT l close to the city for the next si1
 months and has purchased a Dutcl | Colonial home in Southport for resi- ! dential purposes.

WOULD NOT SUPPORT
 LABOR PARTY

Hartford, Conn, Feb. n.---"Labor is not ready for concerted action as a separate party and I therefore be- lieve that the state body of organized labor will support the program of the National Federation of Lebor in sup porting the party which shall insert in it's platform the blanks that afffl- lated labor desires,'' said P. F. OMeara of New Haven, president of the Connecticut State Federation of Labor today in commenting on the announcement recently by Samuej Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, that the federa- ton would ask that it's program be inserted in a party platform.
 q do not believe,' he said, that labor can indorse the labor party or that the majority of wage earners will support such a party. The wage earners of this country are not yet in such a position that they can best obtain the result they desire through a separate party and I think that they should support either one of the es- tablished parties or some new party that may be organized in the interval between this time and the presidential elections"

Nichols, the local inventor who caused the ar rest of Attorneys Badesch, Breen, Greenstein and Mesard for alleged conspiracy, failed to live up to agree ments stipulated in contract with the Bridgeport Machine Tool Co.,, Att torney Francis J. Breen. in a lengthy statement issued last night, gave this alleged failure on the part of Nichols as the reason why the inventor was not paid his S10,000.
 The attorney explained in detail all of the steps which led up to the friendly suit in the civil court. and also charged that Nichols used the Geyser Patent Holding Company as a "dummy'' for his transactions.
 MT. Breen concluded his statement with the opinion that he and his three fellow lawyers will be exonerated from the charge now entered against them, when the true facts of the case are aired before the court.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS COUNCIL HAS FIRST
 FORMAL GATHERING
Meeting Occurred in His tOric Picture Gallery in St. James Palace Arthur J. BalfOur As sumes Chair - Com ments on Eight Ma tions Present Instead of Nine.

London, Feb. 1.-The coun- oil of the League of Nations formally opened it's meeting here at noon today. Arthur J. Balfour, representing Great Britain, assumed the chair on the suggestion of Leon Bour- geois, representative of France.
 In his speech of welcome to the delegates MT. Balfour said there was only one blot on the meeting, and that was that eight nations were represented instead of nine.
 He said it was not desirable to touch on the absence of the United States, but he referred to it as mar ring the symmetry of the original plan of the league.
 M. Bourgeois, in reply added a word of regret that the nations rep resented were only eight in number.
 The meeting occurred today in the historic picture gallery of St. James Palace, which was built by Henry VIII. Immediately below the portrait of this monarch a large table has 8 place for the accommodation of the members of the council before whom Leon Bourgeois, the French delegate, delivers the opening address.

KAISER MIGHT
 ENJOY LIVING IN PALEMBANC
Proposed Exile Described As East Indian =
 Venice.

"An East Indian Venice-gay. dirty, swarming with life and lumin- ous with sunlight" is how a traveller describes Palembang in the DutoS East Indian island of SGn1SeS~ where the Allies propose to exile the Kaiser. The encyclopaedia com ments laconically: Thunder storms and water spouts occur frequently, and earthquakes now and then.'' The Royal Packet Lines guide to the island solemnly advises the pros pective gentleman visitor to take along "at least twe1ty-four shirts of very thin flannel matepdaI." It is not cool in Palembang, only ? degrees south of the equator.
 Palembang is the name of a prov ince and city oE the south coast of Sumatra. The province has 796, ,354 inhabitants and the city has 60,9S5, of which scarcely more than 500 are Europeans. This distant St. Helena -or is it to be an Elha only ?-to which a Dutch battleship is said to be ready to bear off William II, the moment the Allies show their teeth, was once a celebrated Malayan sul- tanate, whose rulers twice drove the DulN4 OOI O1 ILASAT lSI11COIS OSAOIS the rich pepper and oil concessions sistent Netherlanders.
 The city of Palembang is built along the Musi River. It is even built in the river. it's Arabs, Chinese, Hindus and Malays dwelling in houses perched on stilts or resting on large rafts. Perhaps the 'man without a country" has chosen Pal embang as a residence for the con venience of living in q house with which he can move on'' every time an allied policeman shows up.
 Amonk the flooded lowlands that will help to remind him of the Flanders fields where he sent his young men to die, the Kaiser. who makes a virtue of doing in Rome as the Romans do, who was a Moham- medan to ConstantinopIe and a de- fender of Christianity to Jerusalem, will play at being an Eaat Indian. perhaps even at being a Sultan. He will chop wood, even if he rises at 5:so a. m., to do it in the cool Of the morning, as it is not cool in the morning in Palembang. He will not need the tip of the guide to the eff i feet that ''the frock coat (without lining) is only worn when paying formal visits, the dress coat only at great parties, audiences, balls, etc" PaIembang is used to beach combers, and does not invite visitors to their great parties, audiences, balls etc.,
 Perhaps William II. will gather together the proceeds of what prop erty is saved to him from the crash and take a flier in oil. The oil con- sessions in Palembang yield about 75,000,000 gallons annually. Being an oil king is something, after all, and one always can collect royalties even if one cannot honnob with them.

NEW PLANT AT
 FLUSHING, l.. !.

The Remington-Yost Type writer factory will move to Flushing, Long Island, it was definitely announced by the management today. The plant of the Nathan Company on Flushing Creek has been pur- chased at an outlay of $1 ,5OO,- 900. The new plant consists of number of modern factory buildings with about 50 acres of land. This gives the concern abundant space in which to en- large their manufacturing fla cilities.
 The Yost factory has become a land mark in this city where it has em- ployed the highest class of mechanics for the past 30 years.
 The present site and buildings were purchased by the Columbia Grapho- phone company some time ago and the new owners will take possession the first of next June.
 The Yost company will begin to move immediately and expect to be thoroughly established in their new plant in April.
 All of their present employees, who are willing to go, will be taken to Flushing with them. The company has offered to pay moving expenses for all who will go to the new plant
 Some years ago the Remington Typewriter company bought up the entire Yost properties together with the machinery and patents. The cor poration has since been known as the Reming plant.
 They manufacture the Yost type writer at the local plant and employ about 800 hands.

IS STILL UNDER
 ARMED GUARD Lockett Spirited Out of Town On a Special
 Train

Lexington, Ky, Feb. 11-Although William Lockett. convicted murderer of ten year old Geneva Hardrnan, was safe today in Eddyville prison where he is to pay the death penalty for his crime on March II, 800 troops were held today in Lexington, which remains nominally under martial law.
 Military officers spirited Lockett out of town on a special train late last night. Four hundred of the special ordered here Monday to suppress mob rioting, in which five persons were killed and many wounded in an un- successful attempt to lynch Lockett accompanied the train.
 In view of the fact that there ap- pears to be no further need for pres- erpce of soldiers here it was believed the order invoking martial law would be revoked today and the remaining federal troops returned to Camp Tay- Tor.
