ROSS WEBSTER TO
Be HANGED TUESDAY
Only Reprieve BY President
Wilson Can Save Slayer
of DuvaI Boy.

Unless another stay OF execution Is
granted within few days to Ross
Webster, convicted slayer of Henry
Duval. 10 years old, he will be hanged
Tuesday. Webster has already been
granted four reprieves, pending ac-
ton OF President Wilson.
Webster's' reprieves were granted
on the ground that his mentality was
equal only to that OF small child.
Jail officials state that he is fully
aware OF all judicial proceedings
concerning him but does not take
much interest in them. He cats his
meals regularly. reads the news
papers daily, writes to his friends
and jokes with the other prisoners
in the death house when he takes his
daily exercise.
In letters to his friends. Webster
expresses the wish that the authori-
ties do one thing or the other. He
states he is already prepared for
hanging or for a sentence of life i'm
prisonment.
The crime for which Webster was
convicted was committed more than
year ago In Brookland. Duval was
an errand boy at Trinity College.

believe that the bandits realized they
faced prison should any of the bonds
be found in their possession and pre-
ferred to destroy them.
Kept Liberty Bonds.
The finding of the bonds near Fred
erick strengthens the theory of the
detectives that after footing the bank,
stealing more than $4,000 worth of
securities, the robbers made their
way to Frederick and thence to York,
Pa, where four men answering de-
scriptions of the bandits were seen
the night of the robbery.
While the robbers attempted to de-
stroy negotiable railroad and other
bonds, they apparently kept the lib
erty bonds, which were stolen as no
trace of them have been found by the
police.
Another suspect has been taken in
custody. He is John Adams, of Cam
den, N. J., who was arrested in that
city last night. Adams has not been
formally charged with any connection
with the killing and robbery and is
being held pending an investigation.

of the burnt securities found ycster-

According to the latest checking up
of the losses sustained by the bank,
the bandits got $500 in cash, about
$40 900 in Liberty bonds, and many
shares Of railroad and other stock.

pressed confidence in running down
the bandits, not n single arrest has
been made which developed any
tangible Information as to the Identity
OF the robbery Even should the rob-
pers be identified, IL was pointed out,

URGE ACTION
ON j. S. PAY
Federal Employees to Help Con-
grass Handle Reclassiflca- .
ton Report.

Declaring that Congress recog-
nizes that IL has an ineffective grasp
on Government personnel, for whlch
reason IL cannot wantonly discard the
recommendations OF the reclassifca-
ton commission" Luther G. steward
president OF the National Federation
Of Federal Employees. this morning
outlined the program OF Government
employees to procure speedy action on
the commi ssion's report, and TO make
such supplemental suggestions as
may be found necessary.
This program calls for a hearing OF
employees before the committee hav-
ing the reclassification commissions
report.
At a meeting last night. reports
were received from representatives
of employees In each Of the forty -four
services of the Government os out
lined by the commission.
According to these reports, there
are many discrepancies In the com
missions recommendations, and
committee Is to be named to sift out
these faults and co-orGnate them. TO
expedite consideration before the
Congressional committees.
1T will be an editing OF the COM
missions report" Mr.. Steward COM
rmented. "We probably will group
all suggestions OF employees under the
four general heads OF wage, reclassin-
cation relatively of positions and ad-
'ministration. II Is probable that the
net result Of our effort will take the
form OF supplemental brief to the
commissions report.
"There Is a daily cry in Congress as
to how to meet problems of Govern
ment personnel. In the report of the
reclassification commission, Congress
will find the solution, and IL would be
'fooihardy to assume that Congress
will reject such an opportunity"

Commissioner Brownlow for
information about the depart

way to know Is to keep In con-

Piggiy Wisely 10 a trade name ior
stores using the Piggiy Wiggiy sys-
tenn OF distribution, a method con-
ceived by Clarence Saunders, OF Mem
phis, Tenn. The main features OF
the system consists In cus.omers
waiting on themselves. paying casn
for the articles selected after wan
dering thI ough q chain of aisies
checked full OF merchandise.
Mr.. Saunders believes that the peo-
pie are honest--thst "the public when
trusted implicitly proves worthy OF
the trust" This, Mr.. Saunders be-
Iieves. has been the cause OF the tre-
mendous success of his system In
many cities where the stores are being
operated.
VIII Exte~a to All Cities.
The system has prospered> In many
cities on the price and reduction and
waste elimination plan. and Is being
extended to every city with 10000
population.
There are no clerks to watch you
or delay your marketing in the
"PIggIy wiggly" grocery stores. The
household buyers go through the cir
cuitous aisles. picking out without
urging the things they need, and when
their baskets are filled they pay cash
at the turnstile exit. Everyone Is on
honor and the losses from theft, Mr..
Saunders says, is found to be negli-
gibie.
While most grocers are confronted
with the shortage OF help, the Ptggly
Wiggly people don't have this worry.
There are no clerks to urge you 10
buy. or to keep you waiting while he
or she chat with another customer.
You simply walk in. pick up what
you want, 60 to the cashier and
after paying your bill make your exit.
One Example OF Buyins.
A woman walked into one OF the
Piggly Wiggly stores this morning
and asked for an article which did
not happen to be in stock. And, In
cidentaIly. the Piggly Wiggly people
say 1t will not happen again because
the article wanted by the woman has
been ordered. Anyway, the woman
was in the store and found the turn
stiles through which she entered did
not turn back.
She started to go through the
aisles to the exit turnstile. and be-
fore she left, had made number
of purchases. 81 came in only to get
