POLICE Off TIME
CHECK TO Be MADE
Survey Planned of Jobs Held
by D. C. Employees When
Not on Duty.

A survey of the employment during
of duty hours of policemen and firemen
was ordered yesterday by Commissioner
Herbert B. Crosby in charge of the Po-
lice and Fire Departments.
Complaint has been made to the Com
missioner that firemen, by taking jobs
in their off hours, removed those jobs
from the market and helped make the
employment situation more acute. Be-
fore the passage of the bill to increase
the pay of the policemen and firemen
the heads of the departments were not
disposed to do anything about this,
holding that their men were not receiv-
ing a living wage But now that their
salaries have been raised an intensive
effort will be made to put an end to the
practice.
The decision yesterday was made at a
conference held by Commissioner Cros-
by with Mai Henry G. Pratt, superin-
tendent of police; George S. Watson,
chief engineer of the Fire Department,
and John B. Colpoys, representing the
Central Labor Union.
After the survey is completed some
method will be devised OF curplng the
work done by policemen and firemen in
their off duty hours. The complaint,
which was made by the Congress
Heights Citizens Association, related
only to firemen. but Gen. Crosby de-
cided to make any rule which might be
drawn for them also applicable to the
Police Department.

Disease Recorded Here in
Many Years.

The first death from typhus recorded
in the District in many years occurred
yesterday. Charles Dalziel, me-
chanic, of 42l Newton place was the
victim. His house has been quaran-
tined.

partment, he had been on an outing
in Maryland shortly before contracting
the disease, and he is believed to have
been infected in Maryland.
There was one other case of typhus
in the District recently, according to
Acting Health Officer Edward Schwartz,
but that case was in the District SIM
ply because a woman came from Alex
andria to Sibley Hospital for treatment.
She recovered and went back home.
DR.. Schwartz said there was no dan
Ger of a spread of the disease in

BRIDES AND DRINKING
LAID TO LABORITES
Committee on Privileges Gets
Charges Made in House
of Commons.
BY the Associated Press.

by Cne Associated Press.
LONDON, July 30.-The House of
Commons spent an hour yesterday dis
cussing what should be done about a
speech of E. Sandman, Laborite mem
Der of Parliament, in which he is
alleged * lave brought charges against
his Labor colleagues of intoxication and
receiving brides.
The matter finally was placed before
the Committee of Privileges by a vote
of 119 to 8. This committee will ex-
anime charges against Sandman that
his speech was a gross libel" and will
report later to the speaker.
Sandman was in the Commons when
debate on the question started. He did
not, however, remain until the end of
the proceedings.
A motion was placed before the
House stating that his speech was a
libel To this he made no apology and
no defense, except to say that extracts
out of their context. He then began
reading the whole speech, but was
stopped by the Speaker, who later asked
him to leave the chamber.
The matter was first brought up yes
terday by Earl Winterton, Conserva-
tive, who moved the resolution de-
nouncing Sandman. Winterton quoted
Sandman as saying:
THE Labor members can receive
brides to help pass a doubtful bill in
the interests of private individuals.
Labor members can get stupidity drunk
in this place, but none of these things
are against the sacred traditions of the
House, but in keeping with them. 1t
is known that Labor members receive
money from money lenders and other
interests and it is known that Labor
members, of Parliament get drunk at
the House.

SOUCEK SAVESL|FE
IN PARACHUTE LEAP
Famed Navy Altitude Pilot
Joins Caterpillar Club
After Air Collision.

Lieut.. Apollo Soucek, U. S. N, who
left the National Capital last month
after establishing a new world altitude
record and lettering his own world
seaplane record became member Of
the Caterpillar Club yesterday after
a spectacular escape from a wrecked
Navy bombardment plane following an
!. aerial collision, according to Associated
Press dispatches from San Diego, Calf,
where Soucek is on duty.
Lieut.. Soucek's plane and Navy
scouting plane colIided at an altitude
5000 feet above San Diego and the
bomber was badly smashed and began
to fall out of control. Soucek jumped,
but his shirt caught on the plane and
he fell with it to within few hundred
feet of the ground before freeing him
self At 200 feet he broke clear and
his parachute opened enough to break
the shock of his landing. He escaped
with sprained back.
Scouting Plane Lands.
Ensign C. H. Du Borg, pilot of the
scouting plane, continued on to the
North Island Naval Air Station after
satisfying himself that Lieut.. Soucek
was down safely and that his own
plane was not badly damaged.
Lieut.. Soucek was married here
shortly before his departure for San
Diego early last month. He had been
on duty in the Bureau of Aeronautics.
Navy Department, for three years and
had specialized in engineering prob
lens in connection with high altitude
flying. He established a new world
altitude record year ago only to lose
it few days later to the German pilot
Will Neunhofen. Lieut.. Soucek recap
tured the record last month, climbing
higher than any other man ever has
gone In any type of aircraft.
Robbed of New Record.
In an attempt to establish a new
official seaplane altitude record few
days later, on his las flight before his
departure from the Capital, Lieut..
Soucek made spectacular 7-mile drop
with a dead motor after an oil line
breakage had robbed him of an official
record, though he exceeded his own
previous mark, which still. stands as
the recognized world record.

in War-TOrn Zones of China.
BY the Associated Press.
Concern was expressed in Washington
today over disquieting reports from
war-torn sections of China in which
Americans still remained.
Official sources have disclosed that
two American missionaries remained in
the burning city of ChangSha, left be-
hind by American, British and Japa-
nese gunboats. The missionaries, both
men, were unnamed in the meager re-
ports. Both refused to leave when the
gunboats were compelled to withdraw
because of the overwhelming number
of Communists and the rapid fall of
the watermark.
The only other foreigners known to
have been left behind was an Italian
missionary, Father Baiman, reported
captured by bandits when he made a
last-minute effort to get away after re-
fusing to abandon his post.
Meanwhile cables from the American
legation at Peiping told of an American
warning sent the Marking government
against endangering American lives at
Taian, where the Marking forces have
been carrying on bombing raids.

fallen into them as they became open,
and temporary Government positions
have been almost entirely taken up by
the residents Of the District and those
In the nearby Maryland and Virginia
suburbs. with the result that both
neighboring States and the District It
self have been far above their appor-
tionmentS in their representation in
temporary Government positions.
The initial effort In this new policy,
the commission states, will be made with
temporary positions for stenographers
and typists. The commission expects to
extend the change in policy to other
positions II the experiment indicates
the practicability Of the plan.
'It Is believed" the commission said
In q formal statement issued yesterday,
that many persons living at a distance
from Washington would be willing to
accept temporary appointment for a
period Of three or six months, especially
as there Is prospect Of permanent ap-
pointment in case of those whose serv-
ices prove satisfactory and whose names
are reached In the order Of certification
for permanent positions"
States Entitled to Share.
It was explained last night by
George r. Wales, a member Of the
commission, that Washington hereto
fore has been getting the lions share
Of this employment, when other States,
under the civil service regulations are
entitled to the refusal, at least, Of their
share. He said the policy has been
adopted simply to extend what measure
Of relief to the present Nationwide I'M
employment situation can be affected
through temporary employment with
the Government, In q more equitable
manner throughout the States.
It was pointed out by Mr.. Wales that
Washington still have available
several thousand Government positions
which do not come under the Civil
Service Commission. They get FIRST
chance at these positions simply be-
cause they are here and available for
immediate service, he pointed out.
