BUREAU REMOVALS
AGA|NST|RSENATE
Three Democratic Members
Charge Administration
With Hypocrisy.

The controversy over the dismissal
of former Director Wilmeth and
twenty-seven other employees of the
bureau of engraving and printing
broke out again on the floor of the
Senate today. Senator Harrison of
Mississippi, Senator Caraway of Ar
kansas and Senator Stanley of Ken
lucky, all democrats. took turns in
hurling charges of unfairness and
hypocrisy at the republican admins
tration.
Senator New of Indiana and Senator
Moses of New Hampshire replied to
these charges, declaring that the
democrats in making their attack
were actuated only by a desire to
place the President in an embarrass-
ing position for political reasons. and
not for any love of the civil service.
Senator Sterling. chairman of the
committee on civil service. to which
the Caraway resolutions asking the
President for information and provid-
ing for a special committee to inves-
tigate regarding the dismissal of the
bureau employees were referred. said
today that he would ask his commit
tee to consider those resolutions,
though it might be several days be-
fore the committee could meet. He
did not indicate what action would be
taken by the committee in regard to
the resolutions.
Attacks Admlnfstratfon.
Senator Harrison started the ball
rolling in the Senate today with a
general attack upon the republican
admspistration's attitude toward the
civn service.
Senator Stanley referred to the re-
publican administration of the civil
service as wolf in sleeps cloth
ing" and said the Sleeps clothing is
growing NANCY and the wolf is stick
ing out at both ends"
Senator Stanley referred to the
Presidents defenders on the floor,
Senators New and Moses, as "spoils-
men," and Senator Harrison assumed
that the view OF Senator New and
Senator Moses in regard to the civil
service must necessarily .coincide
with that of the President. He sug-
gested that former Gov. Bartlett of
New Hampshire had been appointed
chairman of the Civil Service Com
mission by the President on the So
licitation of Senator Moses. and the
President had known the views of the
new hampshire ScHdtOT TSSdTQ

Bartlett in that high position.
Mr.. Bartlett learned all the ropes
of the civil service" said Senator Har-
rison. land then was put in as first
assistant postmaster general, who Sc
lects the appointees as postmasters the
country over
Referring to the executive order
dismissing the bureau of engraving
employees, Senator Harrison said he
had believed the President would Of
fer some excuse for that unprecedent-
ed order.
At this point Senator Stanley said
that President Harding had come to
the defense of Boss Cox in Ohio
when the political boss had been de-
nounced by the present chief justice,
and asserted that the President was
now running true to form.

SAFE BLOWERS GET
$500 IN R|VERDALE
Take $4,000 in Securities
Which Are Non-NegotiabIe.
FoiIed at Post Office.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

sRIVERDALE, Nd. April Bur
glars some time last night blew open
the safe of the Riverdale Park Com
pany here, obtaining $500 in cash and
checks, and $4,000 worth of non-ne-
gotiable stocks and bonds; and also
entered the post office. across the
street, but failed to reap much re-
ward there, due to the foresight OF
Mrs. Agnes c. Klinger. postmistress.
in taking several thousand dollars
worth os stamps and money orders
to her home at the close Of business
yesterday.
Constable Tom Garrison of Hyatts-
vile. is conducting an investigation
of the robberies. and finger-print
expert from police headquarters in
Washington, has been sent for. Ap-
parently no clues were left by the
thieves. who it is believed. were not
amateurs.
Finds Shattered Safe.
The shattered safe of the Riverdale
Park Company, which does general
real estate. coal and wood business
here, was discovered this morning by
l.. L. Gray. secretary and treasurer of
the firm. when he came to open the
office. The front door of the safe had
been torn open by the force of the
explosion, and a burned fuse was
hurled into the front show window Of
the Office. Furniture and other equip
ment of the firm lay scattered about
It was found that all the valuable
records of the company had been
taken, in addition to the stocks and
bonds, of no value to the robbers. E.
w. Reibetanz is president OF the con-
cern.
The burglars were no doubt dis
mayed when they entered the post
office and found the safe wide open
and empty. Six attempts at robbery
in the past several years of her term
of Office had convinced Mrs. Klinger
that the safest place for the govern
ment's money and stamps was in a
safe in her home, some distance away,
so she carried home, with her last
evening $500 in stamps. $50 in money
orders and ten money order books,
each for 500.
So far as a cursory examination of
the post office this morning could
disclose. the thieves got away with
about so or IS pennies and a small
parcel post package, thought to have
been q book. Other parcels had been
handled and examined, but were not
taken.
Entered Last December.
The last time the post office was
entered was December 26 last, when
the lock OF, the safe was blown off by
unknown burglars, who discovered
that their work had been for nothing,
Mrs. Klinger having on that occa-
sion also taken its contents to her
home.
Five years ago the same postmis-
tress was knocked over the head
with a stone slingshot as she left
the office with q satchel, but the as
sailant escaped without robbing her.
A suspect was arrested and tried, but
released.
-Four years ago a colored man from
Berwyn attempted to rob the post
office, and more recently the frame
building, in which the post Office was
housed, was burned to the ground by
alleged thieves.
The present fireproof post Office
was erected by Mrs Klinger.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Statements
defending bituminous coal operators
in refusing to negotiate a cent al
agreement with the miners union,
made by T. H. Watkins, bituminous
mine operator of Pennsylvania, be-
Washington yesterday. were attacked
here today by John L. Lewis. presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America. Mr.. Lewis said Mr.. Wat
kins' declaration SERVED merely 10
intensity the confusion and bitterness
now existing"
MIR. Watkins was quoted as having
said that 1t would be financial sui
eide for operators to enter any
agreement with the miners not based
on conditions in each district; that
consumers have grown disgusteI
with the constant failure to get de-
liveries from unionized, mines; that
Mr.. Lewis testimony before the
House committee had been very mis-
Leading and that, in the anthracite
helds, these labor lords have been
guilty of an abuse of power in call
ing strike when the mine owners
were meeting their every caii for
meeting and negotiation"
To these charges Mr.. Lewis replied ::
Statements OF Mr.. Watkins were
characteristic and typical of a policy
which he has followed for some time
He is engaged in a factional quarrel
with the other operators of central
pennsylvania. the other faction being
headed by Ben Clark. The loss OF
tonnage of which Mr.. Watkins so bit
terly complains is largely due to a
fierce competitive warfare with his
competing rivals"
"Selnsh Personal interests,
The miners chief declared that Mr..
watkins for some time has been en-
gagged in a frantic effort to destroy
the relationship between operators
and miners in central Pennsylvania.
His utterances are dictated solely by
his selfish personal interests"
His testimony and his attitude are
OF destructive nature, and serve
merely to intensity the confusion and
bitterness now existing" asserted Mr..
Lewis. THE reactionary attitude OF
such men Is largely responsible for
the arbitrary attitude Of coal opera
tors In refusing to meet representa-
lives of the mine workers and causing
them to assume their indefensible
policy Of repudiating their contract
obligations"

BALL WILL PRESS
RENT BILL ACTION
Senator Will Urge Measure
Taken Up as Unfinished
Business.

Chairman Ball Of the Senate District
committee said today that he would
seek to have the bill extending the
District rent act taken up and made
the unfinished business as soon as
the Senate this afternoon disposes of
the judges bill. He indicated that
the appropriations committee is anx-
ious to have the agricultural appro-
priation bill taken up and that this
might prevent the rent bill becoming
the unfinished business.
However. Senator Ball expressed
the opinion that even If the asricul-
tural bill was given the right of way
there would be opportunities to take
up the rent bill during the morning
hour" each day until it was acted
upon.
May Offer Amendment.
Opposition to the proposal to place
business properties under the juris.
diction of the District Rent Com
mission is so strong, according to
Senator Ball, that it may be neces-
sary to strike out that feature Of the
BILL After the bill has been under
consideration for a reasonable time,
and If the opposition to including
business properties has shown itself
as strong as supposed. Senator Ball
indicated that an amendment would
be offered by the District committee
to eliminate that feature of the bfll.
Senator Ball. who was injured by a
fall when stepping into an elevator
yesterday. was not feeling well to-
day. He said that il he would be un-
able to be on the floor this afternoon
Ohio, who reported the rent bill to the
Senate, would try to have the meas
ure taken up.

Important to ALI Women
Readers Of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain IN the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and maybe respondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tons.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine, viii do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer 4 Co.,

nOrmaties The maximum of cases was reported
among the men from Vermont 3,S per cent, and
the minimum among those from Nevada per cent.
Among the population groups, the highest percent
age was among the mountain whites 3 per cent
and the least among the MeXicans, IL per cent.
"The findings show that the health Of the popu-
latiOn of the various sections Of our country IS
very materially influenced by a number Of factors
one Of the most important of which is the char
acter of the population, both foreign and native
born Environment is also of great importance
such as surrounds people in densely populated in
dustra centers or i'm sparsely settled districts; in
n healthy plateau section, or in asemi-tropcal one
with constant exposure to the possibility Of con-
tracing chronic malaral and hOokwOrm infections
Occupation also plays an important part; mill
work in the South, and lumber work in the North
together with employment on the railroads cause
the loss of eXtremites; agriculture Is associated
with good eyes and straight limbs and in the
South but less in the North, with freedom from
fiat foot and distorted toes standing in shops and
walking on pavements In improperly fitted and
improperly shaped shoes, together with the more
constant use Of the shoes in early life accounts
for many of the cases Of imperfect feet in the city
population; and much school work and much cler-
cal work tends to produce myopa in those so dis
posed In early life bad posture at school, especial
ly among undemourished and rckety children ac-
counts for much Of the curvature of the spine, and
this is especially true in cities with their large
percentage of foreign population"
