Capt. Wilson interviewed DIR. Houck
for about a half hour shortly before
noon, and after his talk informed
members of Mrs. Houck's family that
he had obtained absolutely nothing in
the nature of clue as to her where
abouts.
Relatives Are Disappointed.
Capt. Wilson. Mrs Houck's father
and brother and the doctors mother
were greatly disappointed at the lack
of developments. They had, together
with the police, searched frantically
for the woman. and with the return to
Washington of DR.. Houck they staked
everything on his ability to assist
them. Capt. Wilson indicated that as
soon as DIR. Houck has rested suffi-
GENTLY the police will question him
further.
Even in the event Mrs. Houck is
found alive, her father said today, it
would be the end of her married life
to DR.. Houck. He has nothing but
the deepest sympathy and pity for
the physicians condition, but in jus.
tice to his daughter and their child,
he feels that they should be separated.
Mr. Walter also expressed deep sym
pathy for the doctors mother, prais-
ing the splendid manner in which
she has borne up under the circum-
stances.

land embankment to Mount Virginia.
Including a substantial wharf, the
improvements at this station amount
to $734, 1856. The present sale value is
estimated at $175,650. The United
States Bureau of Fisheries formerly
occupied a limited portion of the land
near the river front, but was removed
to rented quarters farther down the
river when this tract was entirely
needed for military purposes. The
bureau is anxious to return to its old
location and if this is done the
hatchery and fish ponds would add
great interest to its use as a park.
In his report to the House Mr.. Hill
emphasized that ito carry out the
provisions of the organic law for the
National Capital Park Commission 1t
is regarded as one of the most i'm
portant features of the proposed park
extension to acquire the tract included
in both of these military reservations
From every standpoint it would
seem extremely unfortunate to lose
the opportunity for preservation of
such tracts for park and parkway
purposes, and there is no question
that If these sites are now sold the
cost of acquiring them at a later
period viii be greatly in excess of
the amount that could now be realized
from their SALE" gee. -

OBJECTIONS HALT
DISTRICTS BILLS
ZihIman Measures Are Block
ed by BIanton, Cramton
and Vincent.

Two bills in which the Columbia
Hospital for Women and Lying In
Asylum are deeply interested failed of
action in the House today through Oh
lection of Representatives Blanton,
Democrat. of Texas. and Cramton and
Vincent of Michigan, both Repub-
licans. when they came UP on the
unanimous Consent calendar. One of
these proposes to authorize a refund
of s25 900, and the other one provided
for the erection of 81 new nurses
home at the hospital
Chairman Zihlman of the House
District committee, who is author of
both measures, explained that Column
bia Hospital Is a private corporation
Incorporated in 1866, but erected on
land owned by the United States, and
that half of the cost of the building
was paid for by the District of Column
bia and one-half by the Federal Gov
eminent. Under its charter it is au
thorized to accept endowments and
hold property, either real or personal.
Money Was Taken.
The hospital has been receiving
both pay and charity cases and about
AZ per cent of it's work last year was
years 1919, 1920 and 1921 the hospital
built up a surplus which the directors
intended to use for needed improve
ments to the building.
When the appropriations committee
learned that this fund was in the
treasury of the hospital, 1t inserted
an item in the appropriation act for
the fiscal year 1923 covering this
money into the United States Treas
| ury to the credit Of the United States
Government and the District on a
$3.50 basis.
Mr.. Zihlman called attention to his
! report from the District committee
| emphasizing the need for a nurses
was registered by Mr.. Blanton to con-
sideration of the bill.
Representative La Guardia, Repub-
lican, of New York. registered objec-
ton to another Zihlman bill to amend
the code of law of the District relating
to corporations. He said that this
legislation would protect loan sharks
in charging usuriouS rates on second
mortgages. Mr.. Zihlman said that
the purpose of the bill is to prevent
corporations interposing the defense
of usury to abrogate contracts or to
avoid or defend the payment of inter
est "IllCLi Illcy 4idNC COlilI W pay .
Mcleod Bill Stricken.
The Mcleod bill providing for in
corporation of non-profit, non secret
associations of national character
founded for patriotic and for profess
sional purposes, which is supposed
to relate particularly to the American
Bar Association, also was objected to
| and stricken from the calendar when
| 1t came up for unanimous consent
| today.
The objection was registered by
Representatives Begg of Ohio and
Hill Of Maryland, both Republicans.
Representative Rathbone, Republican,
| Illinois, argued for the measure.
The Zihlman bill to change the
| word ''reconvey' to convey as it
appears in the act providing for a
new athletic field and gymnasium at
Howard University also was objected
to by Representative Rankin, Demo
crat. Of Mississippi.

PUBLIC LOAFERS

Congressman Martin L. Davey of Ohio, who is
said to have started his career tree surgeon wants
to cut out the deadwood in the government depart
ments He thinks about 100000 federal employees
be spared.
For the spirit and personnel of the Postoffice De-
partment he has considerable respect The other c-
william employees, he declares, include the largest
number of loaferS, time killers and buck passers that
he has brought together under one banner.
. To labor officials who protest against his crtl-
cisms Mr. Davey explains about the alleged work" Of
these public servants he sees it. They start at a.
n. he says take half an hour or off for lunch
and quit at 80 making maximum seven hour day.
In addition they have Saturday afternoons off during
the land at other times, whenever there is an
excuse to leave the department.. Also 30 days vaca-
ton and 80 days sick leave not counting Sundays and
holidays, that the average employee puts IN less than
10 months year.
1t does look like an easy life. Seven hour days
and long week-ends and long vacations may be justified
in of intense application the job, be that job
mental manual. But Congressman Davey says
Uncle Sans hired help doesn't even work during work
ing hours.
There is similar complaint in other countries
There seems to be something in public service which,
while it out the at the top saps the energy
and ambition of the underlings. But anything be
done about it?
The departments at Washington have considered
themselves sufficiently reduced from the wartime in
flation of personnel. Mr. Davey has bill for drastic
reorganization abolition of all unnecessary agencies
and reduction of the pay roll How far he get with
it is problematic. Government service becomes
vested interest and the right to idle on the payroll
divine right. The departments politically power
full and usually manage to curb congressional efforts
to reform them
