CLERKS RENEW
COURT DEMAND
Will Ask Congress to Gre
ate Appellate Tribunal
For. Civil Service.

Aroused by the alleged autocratic
methods of Postmaster General
Burleson IN dealing with the case
Of 8. E. Blassingham. law clerk of
the department, who has been
charged by a postoffice inspector
with misstatements of facts before
the reclassification commission, the
Federation of Federal Employees
stated last night they win renew
recommendations that Congress es-
tablish a Civil Service Court of Ap-
peals. ... ,.r
officers Of the federation will go
to Congress today with a plea that
such a court Is the only means of
securing a fair hearing for gov
ernment employees against whom
charges are brought by their su-
periors.
In the Blassingham case the
statement issued last night by the
federation sets forth that the Post
master General will act as judge.
prosecutor and jury. The only right
answer to such a condition, accord
ing to President Luther c. Steward,
of the federation, is for Congress
to establish an impartial appellate
tribunal for the entire civil service.
The statement AYERS that the rep
reservations made by Law Clerk
Blassingham as to the insanitary
conditions of the mailbag workshop
were not only strictly true, but
were admitted in substance by the
superintendent of the shop, ]. B.
Cady, in his testimony before the

JUDGE TELLS POLICE ,
TO DIG UP EVIDENCE

New York. April 4.-Magistrate
Mcclellan scored police methods to-
day as he discharged thirty men
charged with playing craps. The
charges were lodged by four of
Inspector Dominick Henry's staff.
but they could not identify these
men who actually were playing.
"A short time ago." said Magis-
trate Mcclellan, your chief inspec-
tor. John Daily, sent a communica-
tion to your commissioned. Mr.. En-
right. saying that magistrates were
gamblers. The state
ment was false and misleading. It
does not look good to the public
when IL is stated that the city mag
istrates are turning out gamblers,
because they are not when there Is
any evidence on which to hold them.
The police know how to get evi-
dence. Why don't they spend some
money and get in with gamblers
and find out who Is getting the
kitty in these games?'

HEAR TAX RATE
PROTEST TODAY
Citizens Expect Bill Will Be
Modified Before 1t Is Re-
ported to Senate.

Many taxpayers and members of
civic organizations will attend a
public hearing on the District ap-
preparation bill at 1880 this morn
ing before the subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Committee. of
which Senator Curtis, of Kansas. is
chairman.
A lively protest against the tax
alton feature OF the bill and the
proposal to abolish the half-and-
half budget system for the District
is expected. Already a number of
Senators. including members of the
Appropriations Committee, have ex-
pressed their disapproval of unpop-
ular features of the bill. and IL is
likely that after a series Of hear
ings the bill will be reported to
the Senate in a considerably modi-
fed form
The District Commissioners will
also be heard. Public hearings are
expected to continue throughout the
week, until the District has an op-
portunity to be heard on the pro-
posed tax rate of sc pa per cent.
Among Washington citizens who
will present their views to the SUBJ
committee are Theodore W.. Noyes
and II. B. F. Mcfarland.

METHODISTS MAY
ALLOW DANCING

Lifting the ban on dances and
other amusements will be one of the
questions discussed by the Balti-

Episcopal Church. which will meet
at the Metropolitan Memorial NJ. E.
Church of this city on Wednesday.
In 1872 the Methodist General
Conference adopted a regulation
which forbade Methodists to dance,
play games OF chance or attend
theaters or horse races under PEN
atty OF expulsion. The rule still re-
mains. though IL Is honored more in
the breach than in the observance.
A general campaign Is being con-
Quoted for the abolition of the rule
by the general conference which
meets at Des Moines this year. Four
conferences have already recon-
mended such action to the general
conference.
When questioned last night con-
corning what action would proba bly,
be taken by the Baltimore confer
ence. the Rev. DR.. John r. Edwards,
superintendent of the Washington
district Of the M. z. Church, said
q resolution favoring the change
probably will be introduced, 'but I
do not think much time will be de-

RULING CHRIST
NEEDOF WORLD
Emphasis Should Not Be on
Humiliation, Says DR..
Tupper.

"A risen, living. sympathetic and
victorious Christ Is the promise and
prophecy of our glorious resurrec-
tion and celestial Immortality" said
the Rev. DR.. Henry Allen Tupper. at
the First Baptist Church yesterday.
Christian art has made pre-
eminently prominent a dead Christ.
Churches have been saddened by
excruciating pictures of the agoniz-
ing form of the excruciated Christ
and much of the preaching is on
the suffering and humiliated Saw
iour. The great emphasis has not
been placed where IL should be
UPON the risen, the glorified and the
triumphant and reigning Lord, who
is the hope and heart Of Christian
ity and the Inspiration Of the Chris
tian.
Christ is not in Gethsemane or
on the cross or in the tomb. The
Office of these scenes is to inspire
us to lay hold by faith upon a liv-
ing. guiding. guarding and ever
present Lord. The living Lord gives
assurance OF a joyful. hopeful and
victorious religion, but the inspired
Word tells us that IL Christ Is not
living the gospel Is fable, our
religion a delusion, and those who
are dead have perished."

ARTISTS MISS TRAIN;
CONCERT CALLED OFF

New York's troublous daylight
saving law operated last night to
the chagrin of NJ. r. Kline, concert
manager, and the disappointment
of a capacity house gathered at
Polls Theater to hear Anna Case
and Pasquale Amato Of the Metro
politan Opera forces in joint re-
cital.
The two singers were supposed to
open their program at $3.50 o'clock
but Miss Case and Amato failed to
appear.
Manager Klein Said last night:
by long distance telephone ! was
informed that, confused by revised
railway schedules under New York
daylight saving, the two artists had
missed their train"
Klein then got into communica-
ton with Edouard Albion of
the Washington Opera Compa ~
with the intention OF assembling
several local artists for an i'm
promptu recital which. he declares,
would have been free. This he was
unable to do and was forced to dis
miss hundreds Of music lovers.
According to Amato. he and Miss
Case will fill their engagement at
date in the near future. probably
within the next week.
