INDIAN JOE" CALLS
ON HIS BENEFACT0R
Mohawk Ex-Convict on Parole
Remembers Kidness Of Dr..
E. E. budding.

Indian Joe" hit town yesterday
afternoon.
Although he served hitch" in
West Virginia State Penitentiary for
second degree murder-a crime he
says he never committed-"Indian
Joe" johnson has become one Of the
nations best citizens" since he was
released five years ago.
As soon As he arrived in the Capt.
tai. Johnson paid his respects to DR..
f. e. budding. president of the Pris.
oners' Relief Society.
Around budding and Indian joe
might be woven a romantic novel.
One day while budding was visiting
the penitentiary, he happened to pass
the Indians cell. The prisoner was
seated on his cot, his face buried in
his hands.
whats the matter, old scout?"
budding asked alphabetically.
"I am feeling blue this evening"
the red man answered in perfect
English.
After questioning him. budding
was told how the Indian was falsely
convicted OF a crime. The Prisoners
Aid president gave him a copy Of a
religious magazine, an act which
deeply touched the heart of the
Indian.
Through Dudding's efforts and the
aid Of a prominent banker, johnson
was liberated on parole.
Indian Joe" was born on the Mo.
hawk reservation. As soon as he OBJ.
tains release from his parole he ex.
poets to return to his people.

Resignation OF many of the
Navy Yard men placed on fur

drastic reduction order Thursday
was predicted today by those Of
the workers who already are seek
ing new positions.
By resigning they will receive as
a refund the money which has been
monthly deducted from their wages
and placed in the retirement fund.
Though this amount In most
cases averages only $50 to $54, In
some cases as high as S66 to $40.
because of the situation in which
many families now suddenly find
themselves, the sum looks like .
godsend. t is in many cases the
only bright spot in a gloomy i'm
mediate financial outlook.
Reports that many already had
resigned, foregoing the possibility or
renewed employment by reason of
the "furlough," were brought to
the attention Of the commandant Of
the yard today. He said the resig-
nations had not come to his hands.
and that II any had been filed yes
terday II was likely he would have
seen them by this time. He said II
was possible there were some resig-
nations in the mail.

Union officials pointed out today
that "furlough" was Of advantage to
the more elderly men released. es-
pecially IL they were to be retired
by next July. The fact that they
are still on the rolls would permit OF
their receiving full retirement com.

"furlough" carries no advantages
union officials pointed out.
Additional releases at the yard
Yesterday and today totaled nearly
forty. These were included In the
original figure. 1880. Many men.
on leave, had not yet received their
notification Of "furlough," and conse-
quently these additions during yes
terday and today were thus an
nounced as the men reported at the
yards to learn whether or not thew
had been included In the lay of.
The Navy Yard Relief Bureau has
been established by Joe Malloy, an
ex-employee Of the navy yard. for
the relief of navy yard men laid off.
Many OF these men have large fami-
lies and real hardships can be avoid
ed only by their entering into some
other line Of business Immediately.
Among the list are machinists,
steamfitters. auto mechanics, car
penters, painters, electricians, sales
men, craftsmen, chauffeurs, clerks,
bookkeepers, stenographers, must

ers and many other lines that have
not yet been listed.
These men are anxious to obtain
employment of any kind; piece work,
job work, contract work or perma.

Appeal is made to the people OF
Washington and nearby localities to
send in whatever work orders they
have.
All communications should be ad

THEATER COLUMNS
WEAK, SAYS EXPERT
knickerbocker Collapse Caused
by Improper Bracing, Is
OkIahoman's View.

In statement to Senator Capper,
chairman Of the Senate committee
which Is probing the cause of the
knickerbocker Thcater disaster, Leo
Sanders, a consulting engineer Of
Oklahoma City, claims that the col
lapse of the roof was primarily due
to the weakness of the columns and
to the fact that the main column
supporting the roof was out of align.
ment.
There were many minor defects
in the construction of the building"
stated Mr.. Sanders, who is close
friend of former Senator Gore.
These should not have escaped in.
spection. Most of these, however.
were not subject to strain in the
recent collapse and do not account
for the catastrophe. When the
weight of the roof was increased by
the weight Of the snow, the deflec-
ton of the column caused 1t to give
way, yielding at the defective point.
AN examination Of the columns
has forced upon me the conviction
that they are the members that
AaAtus n Sot Chui 81 VI NhO
large column which supported the
main truss shows two defects:
First. 1t was not plumb, but was
leaning toward the south. This fact
must have been known to the plas-
terer at the time 1t was constructed
and he plastered the column so as
to give II the appearance OF being
plumb, The defect was at the
joint itself. The fitting Of the joint
on the southwest side of the column
was an evident gap between the
umn and in the splice plate corree-
sponded, but on the northeast there
was a nevident gayp between the
upper and lower part Of the column.
This, of course, weakened the col
umn at the Joint and caused its de-
Election toward the south. All the
facts and circumstances tend to
show that the large column yielded
at this point"

ing the week ending February 4
amounted to 9,70S,00O tons, an in

GAS METERS GO
FAST. 4 TIMES
IN SUCCESSION
Consumer, After Repeated
Tests, Expresses Belief Peo-
pie Are Mulcted.

When the Public Utilities Com
Mission opens its public hearing
Tuesday to fix q new rate for the
Washington Gas Light Company, 4,
will be called upon to consider
charges that thousands Of the
meters used by the corporation In
the Capital are registering too fast
and that the consumers as a conse
quence are being mulcted out OF
thousands Of dollars illegally every
month.
The charges are contained in q
petition filed with the commission
urging a general inspection OF all
meters used in Washington and q
copy of the indictment brought
against the company has been sent
to the Senate and House District
committees.
Andrew r. Kelley. of the Belgrade
apartments, a consumer who claims
to be the victim Of fast meters four
times within eight months. has petit
toned for the inspection. On each
Of the occasions when the Public
Utility Commissions inspectors
have examined his meter upon re-
quest, II has been found that the de.
vice was registering too fast and he
was given a new meter Of the same
type as that which registered in.
correctly after the tests, he says. His
letter to the COMMISSION follows:
May I respectfully direct the
attention Of your honorable body to
q condition relative to the consurap,
ton OF the Washington Gas Light
company's product, that I feel
comes properly within the scope OF
the hearing to fix new rate FOR
such utility.
Since last June have had
occasion on four times as your Off
cial records will prove. to have an
inspector Of the Public Utilities
Commission examine and test the
meter which registers the amount
of gas used in my home. On each
occasion 1t has been officially at
tested that the company has fur
nished me with a meter which runs
too fast. My bills as a consequence
have been exorbitant and each new
meter provided Is the same make al
the one which measured too fast
and about which complaint was
made.
1T appears to me that the con
tinued use OF meters which register
incorrectly Is not COiHciuenCc uu
an established fact, and that con
sumers as consequence are illeg
ally mulcted out oftho usands o.
dollars monthly by ouch methods.
am assured by officials OF YOU
honorable body that where exam!n
atoms have been made, the records
reveal that more than 45 per cen
20 fthe meters tested have been run
ming fast.
Such a condition merits immedi
ate attention, and / respectfully urge
that the Public Utilities Commission
initiate plans at once for a genera
inspection OF every gas meter in
stalled by the Washington Gai
Light Company, to the end that II
may be definitely determined how
much this corporation exacts month
ly from consumers by the use OF It's
own favorite brand OF measuring
device.
II am calling this matter to the
attention of the Senate District
Committee and the House committee
also, to the end that II the Dist-ic,
is without the necessary funds and
facilities for making such an in
spection, the evil may be considered
OF sufficient importance to warrant
attention from Congress"
