CAPITAL OFFICIALS
ABSENT LABOR DAY
Socially Prominent Also to
Spend Holiday Away From
Washington.

Labor day celebrations over the week
end have the Capital stage virtually to
themselves, for although Monday Is off,
cially the beginning Of the social sea-
son, highest Government officials and
Washington's socially prominent people
have elected to remain away.
President Hoover will remain at his
Highland Camp on the Rapidan until
Labor day afternoon, and of the cabinet
members only Secretary Hyde, drought
bound, remained at his desk today.
The President intends to discuss dur
ing the holiday the unemployment prob
lem with Government officials. They
are expected to come to some agree
ment on ways of speeding the Govern
ment program of public building con-
struction.
Spread out over 10 years the Govern
ment has a plan of erecting buildings
costing $780, 100000. The project has
been under way three years and more
than $500, 900 900 already has been APP
propriated. Much of this has not been
spent, however, and the President Is
seeking now to determine how much
may be expended next year to furnish
employment to as many as possible
without undue stretching of the budget
Wants Shorter Work Day.

Anderson, director of the Labor Depart

peal for q shorter working day and

She added the shorter day was a
simple expedient which did not require
complicated machinery for IFS Inaugural
ton and said it offered the most pow
erful lever for relief at the present time.
Miss Anderson commended that "a
period of unemployment should not be
made more warped through the intro
duction of sex ISSUE" adding that both
sexes must continue to earn in order
to live"
Miss Anderson said that during the

told other prisoners in the county jail
he was going to lend it ALL in order
to ''cheat the electric chair" He said
he would never go to trial.
Officers and cellmateS expressed the
opinion that Payne set OF the explosion
either by connecting an electric light
extension cord to the bottle or by means
of a short fuse and cap attached to the
vial. The fact that the light globe in
the cell was removed from the socket
led to the belief that the charge was
set of by contact with electric light
wires.
Commodore Pulliam, tie only prisoner
in the cell at the time, said the lawyer
lay face downward on MS bunk. He
raised himself slightly ind seemed to
press something. There was a binding
fash and roar.
The blast tore a Rsping hole In
Payne's chest. The berth was set OH
fire, as were Payne's clothes, which
were torn 10 shreds.
Half an hour before the blast Payne
finished a letter to his mother, another
to Mrs. j. G. johnson Of New Mexico,
mother of his murdered wife, and his
diary, on which he had been working
ever since he was arrested.
The last entry in the diary was a
farewell to his children and other rela-
tives. II have waited until August %
so the children would receive the bene-
ut Of my insurance, which now is more
than a year DID," Payne wrote.
I'm no more afraid to die than to
walk in the sunshine"
Most of the final entry was devoted
to encouraging words for the children,
The lawyers death followed by few
