SENATE GETS
PAY REVISION

Senator Reed Smoot of Utah,
today introduced in the Senate his
long g-awaited measure providing for
the reclassification of Government
employees.
1t aims to simplify the whole
question of reclassification-
tanning only eighteen grades into
which all work done in the Federal
service must be pigeonholed, and
placing the entire administration of
the law in the hands of the execu-
tive heads Of the Government with
the cooperation of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission.
BANS sc40 BONUS.
il abolishes the wartime bonus of
$240 a year and establishes salary
ranges in each grade in a maximum.
ALLEGATION of employees as to grades
aud salaries is to be done by the
administrative officials of the De-
partments.
The employees of the Municipal Gov
ernment of the District OF Columbia
and the Federal workers outside the
District OF Columbia are excluded
from the terms of the act, but the
President is authorized by executive
order to extend the law to them at
any time.
All civilian employees in the Dis
trict are included with the excep-
ton of mechanics, machine operators.
and the skilled trades in the Cow
eminent Printing Office and the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing, and
the commissioned and enlisted per-
sonnel of the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey and the Public Health Service.
The bill provides salaries ranging
from $3.50 to those above $500. IL a
schedule contains no specifications
exactly defining the work OF a par
ticular position to be allocated. the
head of the department or establish
ment shall allocate such position to
the grade which in his judgment con-
tains the specification of work most
nearly comparable to that pertaining
to, the position.
The head OF each department and
establishment, within the salary
range OF the proper grade, determines
the salary to be paid each employe
by comparing his efficiency with the
average efficiency of all employees as
signed to the same work, or II no
other employees are engaged upon the
same or comparable work, by COM
pairing the efficiency OF the employees
with the efficiency which reasonably
should be expected.

Boy Who Fired Shot at AssaiI-
ants Says He Thought
Gun Was Empty.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, April 49,
Jealousy over girls resulted in the
staying at Oldtown, this county, of
Charles Carder, twenty-four years
old, after services at the Methodist
Episcopal Church last night about
q o'clock.
A party of young men in the viii
lage were said to have been piqued
because of the attention paid local
girls by Gilbert Taschenberger,
twenty-one, and his brother, Will
liam, seventeen, from the Spring
Gap neighborhood, where their
father operates q mill.
ESCORTED GIRLS HOME.
The Taschenberger boys had spent
the day at the home of L. A. Carder.
Towncreek, and then drove in their
car to church. taking home, after
service. Miss Ginnevan and Miss
Critics.
After leaving the girls at their
homes. they turned back and were
halted. they claim. at the edge Of the
village by a party of six or more
young men. They were told to get
out of the car, but Gilbert states he
told them he did not want any trouble.
However. when he left the car, he
was struck in the jaw, and his
brother was also assaulted.
Gilbert says he had his revolver in
his hand, and in the excitement, 1t
went off. He denies 1t was aimed at
anyone in particular. He says the
attacking party ran and he did not
know that the PROSTATE man was
Charles Carder, who was found to be
dead with a bullet wound in his ab-
! domen.
The Taschenberger boys then pro-
ceeded home and went to bed. They
were arounsed by officers from Cum
berland and brought to Jail here.
THOUGHT GUN EMPTY.
Gilbert Taschenberger says l.. A.
Carder, whom he visited. had given
him the revolver, telling him to dis
play it, that it would be sufficient to
keep of an attacking party, as 1t is
understood threats had been made
against the Spring Gapers for their
attentions to Oldtown girls. Tasch-
enberger says he thought the loads
had been removed.
This Is the second tragedy in the
Oldtown neighborhood within a few
weeks. Daniel Crabtree is in jail here
for staying his cousin, Melvin Crab
tree, following a dispute over possess
sion of property. 1t is charged that
lawless element has been having it's
way in that section for some time.

The United States Supreme Court today de-
clared the District of Columbia rent law consti-
tutional.
The decision upholding the now famous Ball
rent act was handed down in the Hirsch-Block
test case, which the District Supreme Court had
previously declared to be constitutional.
The opinion was read by Justice Holmes
The law was enacted by Congress wartime
to prevent rent pro6teerng and ejecment of
who refused pay exoban rentals those who
could find other dwelling. The test went to the
Supreme Court of the United States appeal from the
District courts taken by Julius Block in suit with Loui,
Hirsch.
Chief Justice White and Justices Mckenna, Van
Devanter and McReynolds dssented.
The decision was FIVE to four in favor of its con-
stitutionaity.
The decison of the Supreme Court which makes legal
the decrees of the Rent Commission, will have farreae
ing effect account of the fact that the landlords the
majority of have ignored determinations Of the
mission, and liable fine of twice the amount Of
excess rent collected.
More than $500 determinations have been handed

Exclusion League, Outlines
Views to Congress.

Absolute prohibition of Japanese
immigration OF every character was
asked Of Congress today by v. s.
McClatchy, representing the Japan
ese Expulsion League of California,
when he appeared before the House
immigration Committee.
PRESENTS PRINCIPLES.
McClatchy presented four fundament-
ais, which he declared constitute a
declaration OF the principles which
have been endorsed by his own or
ganization. patriotic and commercial
bodies OF California. and by "eight
or ten western states" He asked that
these principles be made the basis
Of new japanese immigration legis-
lation. The principles follow:
Il. Absolute exclusion for the fu-
ture OF all Japanese immigration, not
only male. but female-and not only
laborers, skilled and unskilled. but
farmers and men Of small trades

dence only for tourists, students ar
lists. commercial men. teachers, etc.
"2-such exclusion to be enforced
by United States officials under United
States law and regulations, as is done
with immigration, admitted or ex-
cluded. from all other countries; and
not, as at present, under an arrange
ment whereby control and regulation
Is surrendered by US to japan.
PRESERVE THEIR RIGHTS.
"3-Compliance on the part of all
departments OF the Federal Govern
ment with the Constitution. and
abandonment of the threat o. attempt
to take advantage of certain phrases
of that document as to treaties, which
it is claimed gives the treaty making
power authority to violate plain pro-
visions of the Constitution and the
statutes in the foreign matters:
"(a) To nullify State rights and
state laws for the control of lanis
and other matters plainly within the
States jurisdiction.
(b) To grant American citizenship
to races of yellow color which are
made Ineligible for such citizenship.
"4-For the Japanese legally en-
titled to residence in California fair
treatment. protection in property
rights legally required, and the priv
ilege OF engaging in any business
desired. excepting such as may be
now or hereinafter denied by law to
all aliens. or to alien Ineligible to
citizenship; provided particularly
they may not hereafter buy or lease

"Nor are the imperial government
alone and unsupported in their inter-
probation of the decision" said the
Japanese reply, "for they are in re-
ceipt of authentic information that
the governments of Great Britain and
France, being of the same opinion as
the Japanese government on the mat
ter. made statements to that effect In
their replies to the American note in
November last"
HUGHES MAKES DECLARATION.
There the controversy rested until
the Harding Administration came into
office a week later. Then Secretary
of State Hughes on April dis
patched his now famous "6eclara ton
Of the fundamental principles of
American rights" to the four great
powers-Japan, Great Britain, Franc.
and Italy.
The notes of the four great powers
were practically identic. The one
sent Great Britain was made public
some days ago. That sent to Japan
differed only in that 1t replied to the
February % communication, and re-
ferred to the previous correspondence
regarding Yap.
Secretary Hughes followed n
slightly different tack. Whereas the
previous American notes had been de-
voted largely to setting forth what
had happened at Paris, the Hughes
note was made up almost entirely Of
clear. firm statement of Fundamental
American rights in the controversy.
regardless of what had happened at
Paris.
After re-asserting the fact that
President Wilson had made reserva-
tons at Paris concerning Yap, the
Hughes note stated with emphasis
that without the war there could
have been no mandates, and as the
United States contributed equally 70
the winning of that war, the United
states II Justly entitled to q share
Of the fruits of victory. regardless Of
any under~tnndinRs which other ma
tiOns may have reached to the con-
trnry.
This Government, IL was pointed
out. has decidedly not delegated to
the Supreme Council, the League of
Nations, or any other power, the
right OF deciding American ques-
tions, or to bind the United states,
or to act in behalf of the United
States.
The United States IL was en-
phatically stated. cannot consider
that 1t has lost it's interest in Yap
through any action of the Supreme
Council or the League of Nations.
and cannot recognize the ALLEGATION
of the island or the validity OF tho
mandate to Japan"
