SCHOOLS CLERICAL
FORCE TO BE RATED
Ballou to Readjust Workers on
Efficiency Basis at Close
of Year.

The clerical force of the public
school system will be readjusted at
the close of the current school year
on the basis of efficiency, it was an
nounced today by Superintendent of
Schools Frank w. Ballou. Accord
ingly, persons in charge of clerks were
notified by the superintendent to sub
NIT to him rating covering the eff
cheney of these employees.
1T has geen generally understood
and publicly announced to the clerical
employees" said DIR. Ballou, that
their assignment during this year was
temporary, subject to review at the
end of this school year. Obviously it
would have been impossible, in all in
stances, to put into effect the pro-
visions of Redistribution legislation
and at the same time readjust the
personnel of the clerical staff in ac-
cordance with the type of service
which the several grades of salaries
are intended to procure"

SECOND SHIPMENT
OF FISH PLANTED
Proposal to Seine Carp From
Basin to Be Dropped
Until Fall.

Another shipment of fish was
placed in the Tidal Basin late Satur-
day afternoon by Commissioner
OMalley. This was more or less in
the nature of surprise, as Mr..
O'Malley himself did not know until
the last minute that these fish would
reach Washington in time to be plant
ed Saturday. He said owing to the
lateness of the hour he did not in
form anybody of their arrival. but
quietly slipped down to the basin
vised the planting.
Commissioner O'Malley said today
that after careful consideration of the
proposal to seine the basin to get
out all the carp, he had decided to
wait until the Fall to have this done.
His object in delaying this part of
the work, he said, was to avoid dis
turbing the nests of the fish which
he thinks have already been started
by the fish recently planted. He said
TO drag nets over the bottom of the
basin at this time would perhaps de-
stroy their nests and defeat the pur
pose for which the fish were planted.
Would Revise Rules.
Commissioner O'Mauey is also draft
ing a letter to be sent to Col. Sheriff.,
changes be made in the existing laws
governing fishing in the waters of the
basin at the present time.
At a recent meeting of the Potomac
Anglers Association the treasurer of
the association was directed to send
check for SIS to the cashier of the
fishing fund. This check came out of
the treasury of the. association, and
was not collected from individual
members.
A little boy years of age sent in
his contribution of 25 cents with the
following note:
Dear Star: Here is a quarter for
the fish for the Tidal Basin / wish l
had good fishing rod, but l made
one. / would send more money, but
L won't be z years of age for another
week, and have saved this amount for
the fund. Your truly,

BY TREASURY LEAK

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 20.-The leak of an
important confidential document, in
which M. Francois arsal, while min
lister of finance last year, set forth
the difficulties of the treasury and the
borrowing expedients resorted to by
the government, has caused a great
stir in political circles and much
speculation as to who allowed the i'm
portant document TO fall into the
hands of the press.
M. Francois Marsal himself explain
ed that the document could not have
been communicated by member of
the Senate, because each copy given
out was earmarked by dropping one
world from the teXt-a different word
in each copy--so that he would be
able to trace the document published
to the persons into whose hands he
gave it.
The former minister remarked that
he borrowed this system from the Sc
