SMOOT SEES NEED
OF US. CLEANUP
Joint Committee on Reorganiza-
ton Will Buckle Down to
Work at Once.

Upon the return to Washington Of
Congressman Moore, of Virginia, the
Joint Committee .of Congress on
Government reorganization Will
buckle down to work in earnest.
Senator Smoot, OF Utah. who will
be chairman, declared today that a
preliminary survey of the field shows
urgent need of a general clean up"
in every department of the Gov
eminent.
Reorganization will be giver tie
right OF way in the new Congress in
view of the vital questions that
await action by the committee. Re-
classification in the Government
service and the success of the IA
tional budget system depend largely
on the work Of the reorganization
committee as all these problems are
more or less directly involved.
Empowered to make legislative
recommendations. which will be car
ried out by the Congress, the work
OF the reorganization committee Is
regarded as one of the most i'm
portant undertakings in the new
Congress that will convene in extra
session next month.
Senator Smoot said today that Just
as soon as the committee Is reor-
ganized by the election of officers.
IL will Immediately get down to
work. Members already are survey
ing the field, comforting with execu-
tive heads and otherwise ironing
cut difficulties.
In every department OF the Gov
eminent something will have to be
done to eliminate overlapping du-
ties" said Senator Smoot. This
problem OF co-ordinating the various
activities of the bureaus will be one
OF the most important undertakings
Ct the committee.
The committe intends to call in
experts and bureau heads for con-
ferences and Is busy now gathering
preliminary data.

GAS HEARINGS
MONDAY
kutz Defers Inquiry to Wait for
Appointment of New
Commissioners.

The public hearing on the applica:
ton of the Washington Gas Light
Company for a continuation Of the
present gas rates after March Is has
been postponed from tomorrow
morning until Monday morning.
In announcing the change Of date,
Engineer Commissioner Charles w.
Kutz, the only member of the Public
Utilities Commission, stated the
postponement was made in the hope
that two new Commissioners would
be in office before this time.
NO FURTHER DELAY.
before Monday, Col. Kutz alone will
However, Commissioner kutZ cannot
render a decision without the sigma
ture of at least two members OF the
Public Utilities Commission.
Failure of the President to appoint
new Commissioners before next FRI
day will mean that the gas rate will
drop from S1.32 to 95 cents per thou
sand cubic feet. This is unlikely,
however.
Discussing his visit to the White
House yesterday, Commissioner Kutz
sldteu thdt ITeslucHt T1druihB us
played keen interest in District af-
fairs. The Commissioner further
stated that he did not learn from
President Harding who were being
considered for the two vacant posts
of District Commissioners.
II do not feel at liberty to discuss
my conference with the President"
said Colonel Kutz. 81 merely called
upon him to nay my respects Dur
ing my talk with the President we
discussed several District affairs.
What we discussed i do not feel at
liberty to say"
EARLY ACTION EXPECTED.
1t is understood. however. that the
President assured Commi sioner
Kutz that nominations OF Commits
sioners would be made before Mon
day The postponement of the hear
ing followed the Commissioners visit
to the White House
Commissioner KutE said today that
the public utility act gives one Com
missioner power to hold a public hear
ing, but provides there must be two
Commissioners to render a decision.
The existing order. under which the
Washington Gas Light Company is
charging S1.32 for gas expires on
March IS. and provides that after this
date the rate shall revert to 95 cents,
unless otherwise ordered by the Com
mission. If there is but one Commits
sioner. it will be impossible for the
Commission to otherwise order" and
the rate. therefore, will be automatic
ally reduced.

Campbell had previously confessed
that he had not only killed Mrs. Mann,
but stated that he had criminally at
tackled Miss Mary b. Saunders and
Mrs. Bessie Gleason. Later he repudi-
ated the confes sion. declaring that
he had made it after having been
coerced through the third degree by
the police.
When brought to trial before Jus
tice Gould and a jury in Criminal
Division No. 1, District Supreme
Court, on February IL, Campbell en-
tered a plea of not guilty, declaring
again that his former confession was
untrue and that it had been forced
from him.
However, following testimony of
Detective Sergeants Patrick O'Brien
and George Darnall, who told of the
admissions the negro made after his
arrest in regard to the Mann Staying,
Campbell was convicted and sentenced
to be hanged.
ADMITS HIS GUILT.
When asked this morning by Cap
tain william L. Peake, assistant
superintendent of the Jail, whether
he was guilty and that IL he was he
should tell the truth before he was
hanged, Campbell declared:
II am guilty OF killing Mrs. Mann
and 1 am ready to die for the crime.
1 cannot tell a lie now that I am
about to die. They say I also attack
ed Mrs. Gleason and Miss Saunders,
but that is not true"
Campbell shows no emotion. He
had been in conference daily with a
minister and claims that he has made
his peace with God.
While the police have been of the
opinion that Campbell would confess
on the gallows tomorrow not only to
the killing OF Mrs. Mann but to the
attacks on Miss Saunders and Mrs.
Gleason, 1t Is believed that the negro
will make no statement of guilt other
than that he slew the music teacher.
POLICE DOUBT STORY.
It has been the opinion of Inspec-
tor Clifford l.. Grant, chief of de-
tectives, and other members of the
Police Department, that Campbelrs
original confession was true, that the
negro could not have given the de-
tails of the crimes had he not been
guilty.
Two negroes now are serving
prison sentences for the attacks on
Mrs. Gleason and Miss Saunders. One
is William Randall and the other is

the environment also contributes

the world war will soon be returned
to the owners it was announced to-
day by the Federal Board for Vo-
cational Training.
TO vACATE PREMISES.
Robert Garrett, the son of Mrs. r.
Harrison Garrett, whose generosity in
loaning the Government the hand
some residence and forty-five acres
or land made the school possible, has
been in Washington negotiating with
the Government for .he Garrett fam
lily again obtaining possession Of tho
estate.
1t is possible, he stated. that the
TWO large tracts comprising the
estate may be considered separately.
The residence, now being used as
club house by the students, stands
!. on tract of fifteen acres, touching
y ork Road and Cold Spring Lane.
government officials have agreed to
lcate this residence and tract within
ltrty days. The other plot contain
Ag thirty acres. touching Cold Spring
Ane and Charles street, has sixteen
government buildings on it, erected
for recreation purposes at a cost said
to have been 100000.
WILLING TO WAIT.
In connection with the second tract
of land, IL is stated that there is a
possibility that the school will be re-
tanned until the last class of soldiers
has been graduated, which will be
within two years. 1t is understood
that the Garrett family will take
over the residence as soon as the
Government decides upon a new loca-
tion for the school.
They have assured the Government,
however. that they do not wish to
interfere in any way with the well
fare and comfort of the blinded SOL
diers unnecessarily, and are willing
to wait until satisfactory arrange
ments can be made before taking
over the estate.

Night work is to be part Of Presi-
dent Harding's program to give a
snap to his Administration and ex-
pedite public business, his regime
calling for a clean desk if possible
before he retires.
COILS IN DRIVING RAIN.

day receiving scores Of callers and
going over mass of mail and i'm
portant papers the new Chief Execu-
tive refreshed by round OF golf,
even though played in the driving
rain, returned to the Executive Of
fices after dinner and put in several
hours hard at work.
1t is not part of the Presidents
scheme to have the clerical force
around nights. but a number were on
hand last night OF their own volition
to aid their chief. In fact, almost
the entire force has been working
overtime this week in keeping with
the "pull-together" policy of Mr..
Harding to get back to "normalcy" as
soon as possible.
. BOSS IS BEARCAT FOR WORK.
Undersecretary Of state Fletcher
was the only caller the President had
last night. He brought over few
papers needing the signature OF the
President and the two remained in
the offices until after 10 o'clock.

work." was the comment of one of
his assistants.
Those who are familiar with the
habits of President Harding say that
he seldom goes to bed before mid
