throughout the night, partly out OF
fear and partly because of the noise.
One of the Spanish War veterans
did not act in very rational manner
last night, although he did not dis
turb the peace of his 10 buddies in the
ward he was in, it was noted. Early
today, however, he appeared on the
front porch and went through a. series
of arm movements. denoting, as far
as could be determined spying
through a telescope. He created no
disturbance of any nature. Later
these particular two men went to the
Veterans Bureau to negotiate with Of

Attaches Of the home tonight will
keep a close watch on the two men.
and 1t was indicated if they became
too unruly police protection will have
to be sought. Great indignation was
expressed at the home over the re-
lease of the two men. The attitude
was taken solely in the interest of
the former patients themselves. 1t is
understood that DR.. William A. White,
superintendent of st. Elizabeth's. will
be consulted regarding the condition
Of the two men in question.
The other two mixed in with the
residents Of the home and created a
favorable impression among all with
whom they came in contact.

Analysis of Provision.
''It appears that the word services
was inserted in the appropriation for
the fiscal year 1926, as shown in the
hearings before the subcommittee of
the House committee on approprfa-
tions for the purpose of enabling the
Bureau OF Engineering to secure an
increased economy of administration
by making it legally possible to utilize
the resources of scientific investiga-
tons of another Government depart
ment. This would indicate that the
word was inserted primarily to secure
the services of Government agencies
rather than entering into contracts
with private firms and individuals.
I'm addition to the objections raised
in my letter Of June "a, 1925, herein
referred to. the contracting with an
individual or firm to perform a duty
or exercise an authority imposed or
conferred by law upon a Government
department or establishment is not
authorized"

JOSEPH O. MANSON,
MONEY EXPERT, DIES
Was Writing History of Financial
Legislation-Spent SO Years
in Treasury Department.

Joseph o. Manson, of the Treasury
Department, who had been given the
special assignment of compiling q
history Of financial legislation from
800 to the present time, died this
morning at his home, 4461 Green
witch Parkway, from cerebral hemor
image and complications.
Mr.. Manson, who was rs years old
served in the Union Army. and had
spent So years in the Treasury De-
partment, advancing from the posi-
ton of clerk TO that Of expert in ac-
counting and adviser on financial
legislation. Just prior sto his special
assignment he had been assistant
cashier in the Office of Treasurer OF
the United States. On account of his
extraordinary memory and knowl-
edge of what had taken place during
his long service, officials feel that loss
to the Government at the time when
he was just well started on complla-
ton of his book will be great.
Mr. Manson suffered a paralytic
stroke several weeks ago, but had
sufficiently recovered to attempt to
come back to work about 10 days ago.
He was unable to carry on, however,
and returned to his home.
An official of the Treasury in speak

who have been recommended.
It has developed in connection with
the filling of Mr.. Jennings place that
the President is not only relying upon
Attorney General Sargent to serve
him IN this minor capacity, but in a
more important way. The President
has deputized the Attorney General 70

ing each Individual candidacy or rec

ney General also has been asked by
the President to do the investigating

out OF names, the so-called preferred
list Of candidates Is now down to a
size that can be more easily handled.
1t is understood that James Rey-
nolds, vice president of the CONNER
cial National Bank, who has a wide
acquaintance in Washington not only
In business and financial circles but
among politicians as well, has been
called upon to assist in the work of
investigating candidates and also to
suggest names of possible appointees
men whom he considers as available
and of the standard desired by Presi-
dent Coolidge.
There has been considerable talk
about the President again being anx-
ious to land Frederick A. Delano for
the place, but there was nothing here
today to form basis for this. 1t has
been intimated, however, that the
President Is giving very little consid-
Grafton to the several women who
have been suggested for the place.
Women Are Recommended.
Mrs. Virginia White Speel, president
of the League Of republican Women Of
the District, and Mrs. j. +. Curtis,
who has been prominent in civic and
charity work in the District, are the
women most prominently mentioned
in connection with thk appointment.
A. score or more Washington attor-

proposed, prominent among them be-
ing John Lewis Smith. former ma

Grams; Ringold Hart, Gen. Anton

but the President is represented as
having given no indication that he
has any intention of selecting any

that the President would prefer to
appoint business man-one who is
not connected with interests doing
business with the District Govern.

REzONING PROTEST
| MADE AT HEARING
Fight on to Prevent Erection
of Stores in Southeast
Il. Neighborhoods.

A fight to prevent the erection of
stores on the northeast corner of
Seventeenth and A streets southeast,
was made before the Zoning Com.
mission at a public hearing in the
District Building today by a group
or residents and property owners In
that section.
The Commission had under consid-
GRAFTON at the time the application
of John P. Donnelly for a rezoning
or his property from residential Is to
first commercial G area, so that he
might improve it with commercial
establishments. Opponents of the
proposed change, led by Leslie Leip-
er, 1855 A street southeast, argued
that additional stores in that section
are not needed, and that they did not
desire to sacrifice the residential sta
tus of their neighborhood for Mr..
Donnelly's proposed stores.
Mr.. Donnelly, however, introduced
a number Of residents in that section
who testified that they had no OBJ
lection to the stores. Two of them said
they were occupants of houses which
he owned.
Opposition also was voiced by prop
eTty owners in the vicinity of Eight
zenith and B streets southeast against
a proposal to rezone from residential
B to first commercial G. area, prop
erty located along the north side of
B street southeast between Eighteenth
street and the north and south public
alley. A petition signed by 30 resi-
dents opposing the change also was
submitted to the commission.
David Babp. secretary of the Fed
GRAFTON of Citizens Associations, rep
resented the applicant for the change.
He pointed out that additional stores
are badly needed in that vicinity.
The lack of them, he said, Is not
only an inconvenience to the present
residents but has hindered the sale
of new houses built there. Mr.. Babp
was given until Monday to file a
brief simplifying his verbal arguments.
Twelve other proposed changes in
coming are being considered by the
commission. Five of them were on
the calendar for consideration at a
session which began this afternoon
at 1870 o'clock.

liberated six convicts of the lab In the
prison. barracks and sped away with
them after first locking the doors on
the remainder Of the prisoners.
Posses are securing the country for
the escaped men.
Execution Of the plot was daring
and ruthless. The moment the men in
the automobile sighted the guard they
opened fire on him. Raider, riddled
with bullets, fell dead. Instantly they
were upon him and seized the keys to
the barracks. With drawn pistols
they opened the doors and called the
names of six long-term' men, who
stepped out from the ranks of their
fellows and took their places behind
their liberatorS.
The other convicts, apparently
dazed by the swiftness of the affair.
| made 10 move. With no apparent
haste the three men satisfied them
selves the men they had come for
were accounted for, locked the door
on the remainder of the convicts, who
a. moment later heard the automobile
rush away in the darkness.
Houston police were asked to watch
| for two automobiles in which the six
prisoners were reported to have fled.
The men who escaped were re-
ported to be George Dixon, Charles
Pryor, Richard Naylor, c. r. Holland,
Robert Bernard and Alvin Ireland.
Pryor was serving 30-year sentence
for murder and had escaped twice
previously.

The general board Of the Navy has

come to an understanding with the
Commander-in-Chief with reference to
how the Navy shall proceed to carry

Behind money-making securities
is something more important in

MILLIONS OF SLEEPING DOLLARS

More than $45O,0O0,OOO in gold
silver and paper money, about 10 per
cent of the entire amount of curren-
cy listed as in circulation, is tucked
away in the United States in various
forms of boarding, according to an
estimate of the Treasury Depart
ment. Genuine misers in this coun-
try number only about 5000, but
they have some $4,000, 900 Saved
somewhere outside of banks. Our
greatest hoarders are foreign resi-
dents who have more than $780,
100000 in idle money. Farmers.
especially in the more remote dis
triets, are also addicted to boarding.
They keep about $125, 100000 out
OF circulation. Many people hold
money in cash for comparatively
long periods to take care Of emer-
gencies. Money in this form of
boarding amounts to more than S37,-
100000. OF the total amount kept

ways about 1925, 600, 600 is in gold,
more than s62.OOO,0OO is in silver
and small coins an approximately
S1S5, 100000 is in paper money.
Hoarding is the lowest form of
saving. Money accumulated in this
way represents sleeping dollars that
are useless to their owner and to the
community Idle dollars give moth
ing out and, what is more detrimen-
tai to success, they bring nothing in.
There is little excuse for keeping
money idle today. Deposited in
savings bank, or invested in life in
surance or in the best grade of
stocks, bonds and mortgages, these
boarded dollars would become work
ing dollars, earning a fair and reg
ular wage for their owners and
throwing their weight on the side
Of further production and prosper
