Bill Will Prevent
Injustice to Workers

A bill, to prevent injustice to GER
tain classes of Federal employees
reaching the retirement age, today
was sent to President Coolidge for
signature following It's passage by
the House late yesterday.
The bill removes the 30-day
limitation now applied by law to the
certification by chiefs of depart,
ments of the ability of employees
reaching retirement age to continue
in service for an additional two-year
period.
Testimony before the House Com
mittee on Civil Service shows that in
a number of cases department heads
have deliberately failed to make the
required certification within the 80
day period. and as result the en-
ployes were forced into retirement.

Tunnel DEATH.
MYSTERY

The Coroner's jury verdict today
held that Joseph M. Rojas, 80 years
old, 1925 Second st. N. E., came to
his death late yesterday in a manner
unknown to the jury.
Rojas' body was found lying in
tunnel beneath the Union Station
shortly before o'clock. Both of
his legs and arms were broken, it is
claimed.
Because of the fact that his death
occurred in railroad tunnel It
was supposed that he had been
struck by a train. The jury's yer.
dict, however, leaves the manner of
his death in doubt. Rojas was en-
ployed by the Washington Terminal
Company as an electrician.

Work commenced on the Virgin Is

Quicentennial Exposition during the fis-
cal year1926 was carried to completion
during the past fiscal year. Many ia
vOrable comments were received by the
insular government as to the showing
made by the small exhibit from the
Virgin Islands. That this exhibit con-
tributed, in no small measure, towards
bringing the people of the Virgin Islands
before the people of continental Omitted
States, is evidenced by the number of
injuries received for information on
the Virgin Islands as a result of the
exhibit.
investigation of the economic condi-
ton Of the Virgin Islands has led, among
other things, to the conclusion that i'm
prOvement therein is, to no small extent,
dependent upon a campaign of advertis-
ing in the hope that the Islands may be
made more of a tourist resort than they
have been in the past, and incidentally,
in the hope that some of the visitors may
see advantages for investment Of capital
and stimulation of industry.
In line with this advertising policy,
