Committee Reports 81 so, ooo,-
900 Measure to House-Also
for Memorial Bridge

Carrying a total of nearly
$65 100000 for the District of
Columbia, two bills today were
favorably reported to the House
by the Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds.
The first Of the bills is the
$3.50. OO0,O public building meas
ure which has been indorsed BY
the administration. The other
provides $14,75O,OOO for the con-
struction Of the proposed Airing
ton Memorial bridge.
The public building bill will pro-
vide $50, 100000 for the erection
Of departmental buildings in this
city over a six-year period.
Archives Building First
It is probable one Of the first
buildings to be erected in the Dis
trict if the bill is passed will be
the sorely needed archives building
to house important documents from
all the Government departments
and bureaus.
The committee amended the build.
ing bill so as to give the Postmaster
General joint authority with the
Secretary of the Treasury, who Is
directed to superintend the program,
in the selection of sites and build.
ings to be erected for the Post.
office Department.
The committee also gives the Sec.
rotary of the Treasury authority to
close any streets in the District
which interfere with the construc.
ton Of buildings in accordance with
plans already agreed upon.
Utility To Be Chief Aim.
Another amendment in the bill
stipulates that the buildings shall
be OF a unitarian character rather
than ornamental. This was adopt.
ed in the interests of economy. II
is possible that in the District the
buildings will be so designed that
architectural improvements may be
added later.
The bill provides that not more
than $20,000,000 shall be expended
annually, leaving to the discretion
OF the Secretary of the Treasury
the proportion to be divided be.
tween the District and the re.
mainder of the country.
The bill authorizes the Secretary
OF the Treasury to engage the lead.
ing architectural genius of the
country, as a result of an amend.
ment inserted by the committee
1t was originally planned to restrict
the architectural designing to the
office OF the architect of the
Treasury.
Senate Bill Unchanged.
The Arlington Memorial bridge
bill already has passed the Senate
and now requires only a favorable
vote by the House and the sigma
ture of the President to become a
law. The Senate bill was reported
back to committee without amend
ment.
The bill authorizes the Memorial
Bridge Commission created in 1918
to select the site In the vicinity of
the Lincoln Memorial and to pro.
coed Immediately with construction
of the bridge.
The bill also directs the conversion
Of B street northwest from the Capt.
tol to the river into a wide boule.
ward to give an approach to the
bridge. This will give a direct ap-
proach from the Capitol to Airing

Cabinet Officers Approve
Liberal Treatment OF
U. s. Employees

Increased annuities for retired
Governmsnt employees are favored
by members of the Cabinet, Sec
rotary Of the Interior Work dis
closed today in q letter to the
Senate.
"I hope that Congress at the
present session will come to the
aid Of thousands Of retired Fed
-eral workers by increasing their
annuities under the retirement
law" he wrote.
The average annual payment is
now $546. The retirement fund
is now the largest in history, and
by July will total $4,000, 900,
Work said.
Proposal In Full.
His recommendation in full fol.
lows:
at am authorized to state that the
members Of the Presidents Cabinet
favor increased annuities for retired
Government employees, and hope
that Congress at the present session
will come to the assistance Of the
thousands Of retired Federal workers
by increasing their annutt1es under
the retirement law.
1.-THE average annual rate paid
annuitants under the present law is
$546.3O. About one-third Of the
total of 10,548 annuitants receive a
maximum Of $720: almost another
third receive less than $4S2, while
the lowest annuity now being paid
is $30.60 per annum.
Employees Own Money.
"The retirement fund from which
these annuities are paid has been
created by deductions withheld from
the salaries of the employees them
selves for this purpose. 1t Is their
own money. The Government so
far has not been called upon to ap'
propriate for the support OF the
retirement fund. and the time when
such paternalistic assistance will be-
come necessary by reason of the
depletion of the fund is not yet in
sight.
Before the passage Of the present
law it was estimated that ten
years would elapse before additions
to the retirement fund by Govern
ment appropriation would become
necessary. The board Of artuaries
now report hat this estimate was
too conservative, and announce that

INQUEST BY
CORONER
CALLED
JOKE
Regular Grand Jury to Meet
Feb. Town Quiet Under
Martial Law
By JACK CEJNAR,


HERRIN, Ill, Jan. 26s While
Glenn s. Young's body lay IN
state at the First Baptist Church
today Coroner George Bell, for
mally opened his inquest into the
deaths Of the "two-gun" kan
leader and Of deputy Sheriff Ora
Thomas and Ed Forbes and Of
Omar Warren, slain in the re-
newal Of the Williamson county
'twar" here Saturday night.
Meantime the town Of Herrin
is under rule Of the Illinois Ma
tional Guard and people are
quietly moving about the city and
attending strictly to their own af-
fairs.
Probe Fatal Shooting.
A hundred versions OF the shoot.
ing exist.
Assisted by States Attorney Artie
Boswell, the coroner's task is to
determine how the fatal fight
started, who fired the first shot
and by whose hands the victims
died.
Klansmen charge that Young
was killed by Thomas who shot
him from behind. They say that
the khan leader fell dying and with
his last strength fired the bullet
that cut down the deputy sheriff
Of the Flaming Circle.
Anti-klansmen declare that Thorn
as was trapped in a grill room by
Young and his cohorts. They say
Young. Forbes and Warren were
in the grill room when Thomas
walked in alone. Young Immediately
went for his gun, according to
their version, but Thomas beat
him on the draw and killed him.
Then Klansmen on the outside
started shooting into the room,
according to Thomas friends, and
killed Thomas and two Of their
own men, Forbes and Warren, as
well.
To ''Whitewash" Khan.
Anti klansmen openly charged
today that the coroner's probe was
a joke; that every juror was a
klansman and that the inquest
would result in q khan white
washing.
The real facts will become known
when the regular grand jury meets

khan faction said.
