LABOR EMPLOYMENT
HELD SATISFACTORY
Increase Shown in Clerical Help
Available Since Schools
Opened.

The monthly survey by the employ
ment service of the United States De-
partment Of Labor for Washington,
Maryland and Virginia during Septem-
Der indicates that satisfactory condi-
lions exist In almost every class of
labor.
Due to the opening Of the various
colleges in Washington there was an
increase in the supply of clerical help,
as many Of the enrolling students seek
part-time employment as Office workers.
The report states:
Some curtailment of forces was noted
In the retail stores and hotels: however,
some OF these workers may be absorbed
in the next 80 days, when an increase
in employment is expected in the de-
partment stores. Resident skilled labor
ers were fairly well employed through
out the month"; the unemployment con-
sisting principally of unskilled help and
clerical workers. The industrial estab-
lishments of the city reported normal
operations. Federal and private projects
continued to employ large numbers of
men,"
The survey in Maryland and Virginia
showed agriculture, municipal improve
ments, highway building and the be-
ginning of top-speed operations by the
canning factories are providing en-
ployment for large numbers of men
and that few laborers are out of work.

Water Department Suggests
1t Be Reimbursed for Money
Spent on Purchase.
APPROVAL OF CHANGE
OF JURISDICTION ASKED
Development Of Sixteenth Street
Tract as Park Is Proposed in
Letter to Col. Grant.

The District Commissioners today de-
cided to seek legislative authority to
transfer to the ONCE of Public Build
ings and Public Parks Jurisdiction over
the site OF the old Brightwood Reservoir
at Sixteenth street and Rock Greek
Park. The reservoir Is no longer used
as its place has been taken by the new
water works at Dalecarlia.
The land on which the reservoir is
built cost $40, 1880 in 1898, the money
being paid from the revenues of the
Water Department. The Commission
ers are willing to turn the land over
to the parks Office for development as
park, provided the Water Department
Is reimbursed.
A letter was dispatched today to Col
U. S. Grant Sd. director of public
buildings and public parks, informing
him that request would be sent to
the Budget Bureau for sanction of a
transfer Of the sum mentioned from the
general revenues of the District to the
water departments account. Should the
Budget Bureau approve the request, ap-
proprtate legislation will be transmitted
to Congress as part Of the District Bud
get bill for the fiscal year of 1881.
Pending enactment of this legislation
the Commissioners informally" turned
over to Col Grant the maintenance Of
the grass and slopes on the site so that
they might be kept in a more slightly
condition. The Commissioners said that
they doubted the propriety Of continu-
ing this work with water department
funds now that the reservoir is no longer
IN use by the water department.

ZIHLMAN LAUDS
INDUSTRIAL SHOW
Development of Industry Is De-
clared Necessary to Progress
of Nations Capital.

The fifth annual industrial exposition
of the Washington Chamber of Com
merce, to open Monday, received the
Endorsement of Representative Zihlman
of Maryland, chairman of the House
District committee, In statement en-
phasizing Washington's industrial and
commercial character.
Work In the various branches Of the
Government" he declared, "can be had
by only one-fifth of those residents in
the District Of Columbia who find it
necessary to be employed. The sound
development of industry aud commerce
which will not conflict with making
Washington the most beautiful capital
in the world Is, therefore, a matter of
importance to all who dwell here.
ut cannot be denied that many are
unaware of the enormous yet well con-
sidered steps which have been made to-
ward giving the city fair measure of
economic independence. The mere fact
that the output of washington indus
tries now exceeds 500, 200, 900 III annual
value is imprt ssive, but all of us can
not help but benefit by knowing more
about how this is being accomplished.
Wholesale visits to the industries which
are now furnishing in Washington and
nearby Maryland and Virginia are rath-
er impract1cable, but very much the
same result is achieved through the in
dustrial expeditions sponsored by the
Washington Chamber of Commerce.
THE plans for the one which now
impends show 1t will be more compre-
hensive than any of the four which
have preceded it, giving not only a
bird's-eye view picture of the cityS in
duStrial growth, but also containing
many educational displays illustrating
the activities of various Government
departments and public agencies. I am
glad that these expositions lave proved
so successful of their object as to insure
their permanence on the civic calendar
of the Capital"

DAYTON'S MOTHER
EXPECTED TODAY
Hopes to Secure Position as House
keeper in Order to Be
Near Son.

The best friend of Dexter Dayton,
confessed murderer, is on her way to
Washington.
His mother quit her job in Kansas
City week ago, gathered her effects
together and set out for the East to
help her only son as best she can.
The widow should arrive at $50
o'clock tonight. She hopes to find an
other Job as housekeeper, having only
a little money to spend in defense of
Dayton.
Meanwhile. the Governments case
against the 25-year-old insurance sales
man is ready for the grand Jury. The
indictment of Dayton for the murder
by strangulation of Miss Marjorie
O'Donnell, %, is expected at any time.
May Ask Death Penalty.
Whether the district attorneys office
will seek a first-degree charge and de-
mand the death penalty when the case
comes up for trial Is a matter of spec
ulation.
It is virtually certain, however, that
Dayton will elect to stand trial and
not enter guilty plea. Through De-
tense Counsel Daniel S. Ring and
Harvey L. Cobb he is preparing to plead
emotional insanity superinduced by
drink.
Since Dayton invited police into his
room at a local hotel, a fortnight ago,
and there, beside the body of the girl he
loved, confessed his crime, Mrs. Edith
P. Dayton has been getting her affairs
in order for the trip East. She has
raised every possible cent in the West
ern city, Dayton's lawyers here have
been informed, to finance her fight for
her son.
Will Seek Employment.
In a recent letter to the attorneys,
though, she said the sum she had gath
cred together would no more than de-
fray the cost of a railroad ticket and
lodging for few days.
Il am competent housekeeper, she
wrote, land I am sure that I can obtain
some sort of employment in Washing
ton, so that can be near my son now
that he needs me so. I want to be near
him until can be of no further use to
him"
Dayton's attorneys have spent the
past few days checking up on the rec
ord Of their client since his arrival in
Washington, eight months ago.

TO ANNUL MARRIAGE
Action Is Taken After Husband Is
Sentenced to Prison on
Bigamy Charge.

The marriage romance Of 18-year-
old Anna Keefe of 906 Twenty-sixth
street and Forrest Richard Cakes of
Potomac, Md, which lasted four days,
was definitely shattered in Equity Court
yesterday when Justice Wheat awarded
an interlocutory decree of annulment
to the wife.
Mrs. Cakes, represented by Attorney
Raymond Neudecker, applied to the
court for an annulment of her mar
riage on September 20, 1926, to the
defendant, on the ground that at the
time of the ceremony he was still the
lawful husband of Della Mae Cakes
of Brunswick. Md, to whom he was
married on October is, 1928. The bill
charged that Cakes was arrested for
bigamy in this city shortly after the
ceremony and was sentenced to serve
four years in prison. The court was
advised by the young wife that she
married Cakes under the impression
that he was a single man, and it was
not until the police arrested him that
she discovered that he already had
a wife.

tenSibIe Structure for Agri-
culture Department.
CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN.
WHEN TITLE IS ACQUIRED
Improvement Located in Southwest
Area and Is Expected to
Cover Three Squares.

The next new building to be erected
in the Governments big public building
program in this city probably will be the
first unit OF the extensive structure for
the Department of Agriculture and will
be placed on the square bounded by B
and G streets, Thirteenth street and
Lihworth place southwest.
Plans for this building virtually have
been completed, and as soon as the Gov
eminent gets title to the land, which
Is being acquired by condemnation, it
is planned to let contract and proceed
as rapidly as possible with the work.
The new Administrative Building for
the department Is nearing completion
across the street.
The extensible building for the De-
partment of Agriculture eventually is
expected to cover three squares, stretch
ing from Twelfth to Fourteenth streets,
and bordered by B and G streets, but
the first unit of this huge structure, 1t
was revealed for the first time today,
will go up on the middle square between
Thirteenth street and Linworth place,
which Is sometimes known as Thirteen
and-a-Half street.
Two Acres Now Sought.
The Government is acquiring by con-
domination two squares at this time, in
VIC O1S WI1kCIl OkAC 1lASI uAAlL
is to be built, and also the corner square
at Fourteenth and B streets southwest,
but this latter square, on which are
located several substantial buildings,
will not be RACED at the present time.
The Bieber Building and other struc-
lures on this square soon will be owned
by the Government, through condemna-
ton but they will continue to be used
in their present form by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Tentative plans for the entire gi-
gantic extensible building have been
drawn by the Treasury Department,
but the plans for the middle block are
the flrthest advanced and will be ready
for use in asking bids when the Gov
eminent gets the ground.
Commission Ends Hearings.
The Condemnation Commission has
concluded hearings in the case Of both
squares and there still remain several
legal steps before the property title
vests in the United States. When these
titles will pass depends on the speed
with which the final steps in the con-
demnation can be completed.
The Government has also purchased
further property in the Federal triangle
north of the Mall From the Kingan
Packing Association the Government
has bought lot $40, square 461, which
forms part of the original lot 5, at $50

SPEED RATE SIGNS
TO AID TRAFFIC
Massachusetts Avenue and
Thirteenth Street Marked
to Facilitate Driving.

In an effort to facilitate traffic along
streets equipped with traffic lights, the
trafic directors Office is placing signs
beside the lights indicating the proper
speed of travel. Massachusetts avenue
and Thirteenth street have already been
equipped. Fourteenth street is being
equipped today, and the others will
have the signs up soon.
Assistant Traflc Director M. o.
Eldridge explained that all the lights
are timed for certain speeds Of traffic,
and that where set of lights is timed
for traffic at Is miles per hour and
congestion occurs traff1c goes either
faster or slower. II 1t travels slower, it
gets caught by the red lights. If it goes
faster, it reaches intersections before
the lights change to green and makes
extra stops and starts necessary. The
signs are painted in black on a white
background. ~
