STEWARD WRONG,
SAYS BOARD HEAD
Congress Alone Has Power
to Change Compensation
Levels, Bailey Asserts.

chairman Bailey of the Personnel
r'eciassincatlon Board today struck
oack at critics of recIassifcation in
statement in which he declared that
hlsher general level could not have
been awarded by any classifying
agency under the present law.
Mr.. Bailey's statement was pro-
voked partly by attacks made upon
the Personnel Classification Board and
upon the result of reclassihcation by
Luther Steward, president of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal En-
pioyes.
81 have no idea entering into any
argument with Mr.. Steward" said
dement's of pending legislation to
abolish the classification board"
Wants Fair Understanding.
Mr.. Steward and his organization
have been making drive for en-
actment of legislation now pending
before the Senate to abolish the
board and turn it's activities over
to the Civil Service Commission.
MY interest in the government
service" continued Mr.. Bailey. and
my desire that government employees
should have a fair understanding of
the classification situation compel me
to say that Mr.. Steward is mistaken
if he thinks the classification board
could within any reasonably proper in
terpretation of compensa ation levels
fixed by Congress in the classification
act increase, in any material amount
by ALLEGATIONS it has approved, the
compensation of government en-
ployes as of July 1, last
"In the act Congress established
compensation levels for different
kinds of positions and reserved to
itself all authority to change these
levels.
Puts 1t Up to Congress.
mo classifying agency could here
tofore. and no classifying agency wiS
hereafter be able materially TO int
crease through grade ailocatiorS tl<s
compensation of employees unless and
until Congress changes these cor~
pensation levels.
about all the scaling down of sal4
aries was visited upon the rank ar$
fle,' is therefore a criticism of Cone
gress. and his argument that another
classifying agency substituted for tho
present one would be able by itself
and in the absence of congressional
action to materially increase the
compensation of employees is quite
misleading.
The classification act provides
remedy lot lneQullaDIe compensation
levels by imposing upon the classify
ing agency the duty of studying the
rate of compensation provided in the
act and of recommending TO Con-
gress from time to time such changes
as may be needed"
Glass specifications for the various
grades which the board has written
are expected to be issued by the end
of this week. 1t is believed they
will give much needed information
to administrative officers and en-
ployes.

"LAIRD OF SKYE" TELLS
HIS STORY TO COURT
Case Con ntinued for Week to Allow
Probation Officers to In
vestigate Claims.

Norman Alexander Russell Mac
Leod, who told the police and others
that he was the Laird OF Skye" in
Scotland. was defendant in the
United States branch of Police Court
today, before Judge John P. McMa-
hon, charged with failure to pay
board bill at the Arlington Hotel and
evidence was taken and the court
continued the case over until next
week to enable the probation officials
to investigate statements made by
the defendant. Judge Mcmahon cross
examined the defendant for half an
hour, going into the details of the
mans past history.
Headquarters Detective Edward
Kelly, who arrested the man in the
Office of the hotel, told the court
that Macleod had been annoying a
young woman, daughter of a retired
admiral of the Navy. proposing mar
riage. He had become acquainted
with the young woman through q
real estate deal. Macleod having pro-
posed to purchase a property under
the woman's control for $4,000.
Detective Kelly said that the annoy
ance had reached such state that

the police for the woman. The cabinet
member sought an interview with
Macleod, Kelly said, and 1T was then
that Macleod left town and went 10
Alexandria, Va.
Macleod said that when he came
to Washington it was to purchase the
real estate controlled by the woman,
located at New Hampshire avenue
and p street northwest. He said he
would pay her $4,000 cash and the
balance in a few days. 1t developed
that the woman gave Macleod at
different times $1,000 and some ances-
trail jewelry The defendant testi-
fled that he went to Chicago and
while there he heard that the woman
had gone to Bar Harbor. Me-, and
that he went there, where he met her
again.

BIG. DAY At PARK
FOR R1,0(OORPHANS
EIks Provide Mirth and Dain-
ties for Inmates of Fif-
teen Institutions.

Turned loose in Glen Echo Park,
with the free use of all its diversified
amusements, and with all the sand
wiches, ice cream. cake and candy
that their little "tummies" would
possibly hold, more than 1000 in
mates of fifteen of the Districts
orphanages had the time of their
lives" today as guests of the
Washington Lodge, B. P. o. E. The
outing was. the twentieth annual
which the Zig Bills" of Washington
have given the orphans.
Sixteen gayly festooned and flag
bedecked cars of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, each
marked special" carried the orphans
to the amusement park. Some of the
children boarded the cars near the
orphanages, while others met the
specials" at Eleventh and F streets
shortly after 10 o'clock.
Lunch in Shade Of Trees.
Soon after the arrival of the cara
van of cars at Glen Echo, lunch was
served to the carefree, happy chill
dren in the shade of grove of trees.
The Elks' Band doubled up with
music for the picnic. All of the
amusement devices were opened after
the luncheon and the children took
possession of them for the afternoon.
Some idea Of the appetites of the
youngsters was furnished after the
luncheon by William G. Neumeyer,
chief of the commissary.
These are the figures of the amount
of food consumed, according to Mr..
Neumeyer's audited bill of fare:
Three thousand five hundred ham.
tongue and cheese sandwiches, 5000
eggs. 1000 dishes of ice cream with
of candy and 500 gallons of lemonade.
All of the food was served under the
most sanitary conditions, and If any
of the children complain of a stom-
ach ache tomorrow the Big Bills"
will blame 1t on the amount consumed
and not the condition.
Many Toys Presented.
Besides the large quantity of food.
the children also received toys Of
every conceivable type. Flags. whis-
base balls and bats, dolls, beads,
watches and other playthings of this
variety were distributed to the
youngsters. The girls in. their teens
were given vanity cases and week
end outfits. The toy distribution was
under the direction of Samuel Rich
ards.
Inmates of the orphanages which
went on the outing included those at
the German Orphan Asylum, Wash
ington City, st. Johns Baptist Home,
Gospel Mission, St. Vincent's, Home
Industrial. Alexandria, Washington
Home for Children, the Emergency
Home, the Foster Home, the Bruen
Home, st. Roses and st. Jeseph's
DR.. Tracy M. Payfair of the Wash

charge of the outing. His lieuten-
ants included Harry G. Given, P. ].

U. Boyd, G. Beckman, James A. Ward,
Arthur Reimer, G. E. King, A. D.
Brown, A. Zimmerman and R. T. Hoy.
Fred Mersheimer was chairman Of
the transportation committee. James
A. Balderson, exalted ruler of the
Elks, also was at the park to well
come the children.

show of their psychiatrists and at

go at once to the State Supreme
Court.
Each step of the way is being bull
warked for possible openings that
might be used in the case of a death
penalty. While the state lis building
what 1t believes to be an impenera-
BILE argument for hanging, the de-
fense is just as carefully laying the
ground for legal saving maneuvers
should such be the outcome of the
present furry.
The object Of the defense is for the
killers to emerge alive but impris-
oned-the goal of the prosecutor to
see them hanged. 1t is for imprison-
ment that the millions of the parents
are available to be spent. They ask
only that their boys lives be spared.
Outlook Not Bright.
Yet whatever the outcome, the fu-
ture is none too bright for the two
young men. The mental powers so
early displayed that marked these
youths as intellectual supermen when
barely beyond adolescence are
doomed either to extinction or to
confinement that will of necessity
dull all of their brilliance.
A few weeks will mark the end of
the first stage of the battle to save
the two lives demanded in payment
for that of Robert Franks. The other
stages of the fight might extend over
a period of years If hanging should
be the sentence.
