TWO TERMS FOR CRIME
Case Nolle Pressed After Negro
Had Twice Been Convicted
BY District Juries.

Twice convicted by different juries
on A charge of housebreaking and
larceny, the verdict each time being
set aside by Justice Stafford. presid-
ing in the criminal division of the
District Supreme Court, the court to-
day nolle pressed the case against
Clarence Lee, colored, and the latter
although having served two terms IN
the penit,itiary for trt same crime.
walked out OF court a free man.
Attorney John II. Wilson, repre-
senting the accused, at each convic .
ton moved for a new trial. claiming
that the government had not ?ro-
duced sufficient facts to warrant a
conviction. The court agreed with
this contention and set the verdicts
aside.
This is the first case on record IN
criminal procedure in the District
that n person convicted of the same
crime at two trials has been finally
discharged by order of the court.
Leo was alleged to have stolen n

HEAVY SHOWS SLOW UP
COMPLETION OF CENSUS

Heavy SHOWS again slowed down
the work of the census enumerators
today, and II is possible that the com
pletion Of the work in this city may
be dragged out through the greater
part of the week
II was expected that the work
would be completed by tomorrow
night. but the snow covered this
hope under cold, wet blanket" ac-
cording to census officials.
In order to complete the work with
the least possible delay, many OF the
enumerato~s worked all day yester-
day and will work extra time today
and tomorrow.
About 250 OF the local districts will
have been completed by tonight, II
was announced, leaving over one
third Of the task inoompleted. Some
OF the folios from other cities OF the
country have been received at the
Census Office, notably New York.
where the work is going on rapidly.
Washington still has good oppor-
tunity to f,nish among the first OF the
large cities " wns raia.

CHILDREN MUST COAST
ON UNPROTECTED HILLS
Police Department Unable to Fur
nish Guards AS Originally
Planned.

No hills in Washington will be set
aside for the children of the city to
coast in safety, District officials have
decided. Children will be compelled
to sled on unprotected streets where
the danger Of accidents is always at
hand.
Arrangements for setting aside five
hills were completed last week, but
plans came to a sudden halt. The Po-
lice Department agreed to furnish n
policeman at each hill, and Mrs. Susie
Root Rhodes, supervisor of play
grounds, was going to furnish sew
eral men to watch over the children
who were shedding on each hill. 1t
was planned to give the children the
exclusive use of these hills.
After arrangements had been COM
pleted Harry Gessford, assistant su-
perintendent of police, decided that
more men would be needed to keep
traffic off the hills which were to
be set aside. He said he could not
furnish any additional men. Mrs.
Rhodes was also unable to provide
additional guards.
The order which would have set
aside these hills was then recalled.
1t was decided that the children must
seek their own hills for shedding.

PAY REv|SERS
END BIG Job

The Congressional Joint Commits
sion on reclassification of salaries
announced this morning that 1t had
finished its work of class specifica-
tions. which Is its basic and major
task.
approximately 1,70O of these speci-
fications have been drawn unp, and
are ready to present to Congress.
This means, therefore, that the COM
mission has found LOO different pos
itions existing in the Government
service.
Different Positions.
While this large number of posi-
tions are not exactly individual, they
nevertheless, represent distinct duties
for each job. Thus. in considering
the clerical service the positions OF
junior, senior, and chief clerk, are
regarded as three different jobs.
With the completion of this Job
the reclassification commission has
set for the first time in the history
of employment in the United States
Government definite duties, qualittca-
tions, and suggested lines of promo
tion for each position.
Typical Recommendation.
Heretofore, while certain entrance
examinations to the Government serv-
ice have been required, nevertheless
they have apparently been arraLged
without system. They have given no
idea Of any clearly cut duties should
the applicant be successful in his ex-
animation, and no hope has been held
forth as to any chances of promotion
he might have.
AS to the exact meaning ,of class
specifications, the followiI g tentative
specification Of a chief probation Of
ficer in the Juvenile court of the Dis
trict OF Columbia offers an interesting
illustrations:
Title. Chief Probation officer, Juve-
nile Court.
Duties-To be responsible to the
Juvenile Court Of the District OF Co
lumbia for the work of its probation
office; to direct the activities of pro-
baton officers and Of the clerical
staff OF the office; to supervise or to
perform work in connection with in
vestigating, reporting and making
recommendations in cases referred by
the court. recording data relative to
adults and Juveniles placed on proba
ton and instructing them as to their
obligations, visiting and making field
Investigations of prohationers; to su-
pervisc adults ordered by the court
to make payments in non-support
cases; to attend court hearings; to
conduct unofficial hearings of COM
plants against Juveniles requiring
preliminary Investigations of fact: to
collect data and statistics; and to per-
form related work as required.
Qualifcations-Train equivalent
to that represented by graduation
from high school; three years expert
ence in social or court work, includ-
ing at least two years successful ex-
perience in juvenile court work: pref
erably some knowledge Of the law;
supervisory ability; good judgment
tact, and discretion.
