SENATE GETS TWO NEW
DISTRICT MEASURES
Would Provide for Street Widen
ing and Transfer of
Needed Land.

Two bill of Importance to the Dis
trict, recommended by the Commits
sioners, were introduced in the
Senate today by Senator l.. Heisler
Ball, chairman of the Senate District
committee.
One transfers jurisdiction over the
United States reservation at First
and o streets southeast to the Com
missioners and the other provides for
a change in condemnation proceed
ings in the widening of First street
northeast. The Commissioners re-
quent that these }bills be introduced
and enacted.
The land at First and 0 streets
adjoins the sewage pumping station
of the District of Columbia and is
at present in control of the chief
of engineers of the United States
Army.
The new bill for the widening of
FIRST street is made necessary, the
commissioners say. because of the
haw in condemnation proceedings in
the old one. They point out that un-
der authority of the old act proceed
ings were begun but failed because of
the inability to secure testimony that
the benefits would equal the amount
of two-thirds of the damages as pro-
Nlded IN the law. AS a result, they
say, proceedings were abandoned
The new bill is similar except that
the provision in regard to purchase
and for assessment of benefits is
changed and provides that the assess
ments shall be in such amount as the
jury may find the property benefited
The Commissioners express the opin-
ion that the widening of First street
west of Union Station, between G. and
Myrtle streets northeast, is of great
Importance. They declare the present
Wldth is insufficient for traffic needs
and that unless action is taken soon
the expense of proceedings Will in
crease because of the proba ability of
buildings being erected along the
present line of the street.

DISEASE WIDESPREAD.
Middle West Particularly Hard

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December a. The
strange disease, which yesterday
caused the New York City health de-
partment to declare an embargo on
live chickens from North Dakota,
South Dakota, Missouri, Kansas, IL
linois, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska,
has spread throughout many sections
of the United States, but is especially
prevalent in the Middle West, poul-
try men attending the national poul-
try show here, said last night.
The cause of the ailment, which in
almost every case proves fatal, is not
known, according to A. F. Philips,
professor of poultry husbandry at
Purdue University. 1t settles at the
base of the windpipe, which becomes
congested, causing death by strangu
lation. The disease is contracted
when the chickens are in transit or
while they are being fattened for sale
in poultry market feeding batteries.
The disorder has been variously
termed flu" "diphtheria" and 'pneu-
monia," said Mr.. Philips.

Assistant Superintendent Evans of

MANDAMUS ACTION
TAKEN FROM COURT
Accounting Office Employees
Withdraw Personnel
Board Suit.

Miriam T.. Phillips and % other en-
ployes of the military division of the
general accounting office today with
drew the suit for a mandamus which
they filed some weeks ago against the
Personnel Classification Board to COM
pei their ALLEGATION to grade 5 of the
classification schedule.
The employees claimed that although
the clerks did the same class of work,
The board had attempted to divide them
into three classes instead of allocat-
ing them all to the one class. The case
was scheduled for hearing this morning
before Justice Stafford, but Attorneys
Dolby & Cutting for the employees
decided not to proceed.
Although no reasons We're set
forth by attorneys for the plaintiffs
in withdrawing the suit, Loren n.
Wittner, chairman of the depart
mental classification protest commit
tee, who has been helping fight the
battles of the auditing clerks, today
made public a letter he had written
recently to President Coolidge, in
which it is charged that the Personnel
Classification Board had been con-
Sidering compromises with the clerks
with a view to "withdrawal of the
rnandamus suit.
Changed "Pay Basis.'
dent the history of the difficulty be-
tween the auditing clerks and the
Personnel Classification Board, charg-
ing that on account of ALLEGATIONS
under the classification act having
been made on a pay basis instead
OF basis of duties performed, AS
per cent of the auditing clerks We're
alloCated to grade 8, 80 per cent 20
grade and 20 per cent to grade b.
The effect of filing the mandamus
suit, Mr.. Wittner said, was to make
the board consider another compro-
mise. placing 80 per cent in grade 5
and 80 per cent in grade f."
Another compromise offered" he
said, lis that all the positions be allo-
Gated to grade ., with tEe provisi on
that a considerable number of the
clerks be dismissed, SO that no over
commitment of appropriations WILL
occur No more absurd excuse could
lie offered for the dismissal. But the
compromise of compromises is reached
when the board intimidateS the clerks
by saying that if the court holds that
All the positions should be allocated
10 one grade, that grade not being
specified, all will be capriciously al
located to grade 4"
Compromises Suggested.
Mr.. Wittner says that among the
compromises suggested by the board
was one that if the suit should be
withdrawn by the employees, the board
would allocate half the clerks in grade
and half in grade 4.
The President is told that the per-
sonnel classification board should be
abolished, mot only as a matter of
equity, but from the higher principle
of ethical treatment of all public
servants in the Government service"
Senator Smoot of Utah is attack
ed by Mr.. Wittner for his scheme
of parsimonious retrenchment in the
guise of economy" which the writer
says has always forced the board
through the Bureau of Efficiency and
Bureau of the Budget representa-
tives to consider the former pay basis
paramount"

the disease was caused by an un-
known germ. 1t is generally described
as infectious bronchitis. and is con-
tracted mainly while the poultry Is
