will not be able to get their compensa :

days, under ruling today by Con-
troller General McCarl. There are
4,9S1 employees of the printing ONCE.
Public Printer George H Carter had
worked out plan for pushing through
the emergency work of Congress by
keeping employees busy every Saturday
afternoon and letting them accumu-
late enough time off to take it IN units
of a whole day at a time. This was
blocked by McCarl
Carter told McCarl that 1.-THE emerg-
ency work for Congress required
steady force for period OF eight hours
every work day and night OF the week.
Will Accumulate Time.
He explained that this work for Con-
press will make it necessary for prac-
tically all day and night mechanical
forces in the Government Printing Oh
flee to work hours on each Saturday
during sessions These employees. he
said. would thus accumulate hours
time on each Saturday, which would
under the act of March 3, 1881, neces-
state their taxing compensatory IAle
off on a subsequent work day"
In deciding that the proposed Carter
plan could not be put into execution
McCarl explained that the Saturday
half holiday act grants half or part
holiday only. not an entire holiday or
extra leave of absence"
Purpose to Shorten Workday.
The primary purpose" said McCarll,
twas to shorten one workday each
week, not to permit the granting OF en-
tire days of absence from duty with
say, and effect must be given to said
purpose even though. due to the ext
pencies of a particular service, admins,
trative difficulties may be encountered
in the operation of the statute.
Compensatory time for work re-
uuired on more than one Saturday in
excess of four hours in units OF time
of one entire day or more ceases to be
a half or part. holiday, but becomes an
entire holiday or additional leave OF
absence not authorized under the law
The statute may properly be apple
only by granting compensatory time on
from duty in units of less than one
regular working day.

ri We sold my shotgun, but there's
always a pot of boiling I've on
the stove for any one that tries
to get that money without my
say So"
Mrs. Maggie Owens, whose 7l-year-
old husband William, under indictment
for the murder of Elsie Louise Bryant,
Ia. claims he buried $4,000 under his
house, pointed to steaming cauldron
sitting on the oil range.
1--WE got the back gates closed up
and my door bolted," Mrs Owens con-
tinued, because If that money is still
where William put it no one else will
be getting it until he comes out here"
Owens yesterday was denied his plea
for release from jail in the custody of
the large sum which, he claims, the
Byrant girl and a boy had attempted
to take from him. His attorneys, John
P. Mullen and Joseph D. Di Leo, visited
the house in Greater Capitol Heights
on Saturday, but despite instructions
from their client were unable to dis
cover the funds which Owens says he
transferred from a metal box after he
learned the Bryant girl and the boy
were aware that it was his safe.
IF they'd let me see him." Mrs
Owens said, "he could tell me exactly
where he put it." She pointed to sew
eral corners under the porch where the
earth had not been dug up. 1T may be
one of those places there No one else
knows this house as we'll as do. They
might not have understood him.
Asked if she had found any of her
husbands money caches, Mrs. Owens
exclaimed, He only had one, and if
I'd found that I wouldn't have been
selling my furniture to get money, and
needing help from the neighbors all
the time. But hope they find it soon
People will kill you for that much
money, you know and I'm here all
alone-except for the lye," she added
significantly.
Attorneys for Owens visited his Cap
itol Heights home early this afternoon
in another unsuccessful attempt to To-
cate the hoard. They dug in the spot
Owens said the money was located but
no cache was there.
Attorneys Mullen, and Di Leo went
to the District Jail following their I'M
successful search to cross-examine
Owens as to the location of the treasure.

 Beryl retorted and leftt he room. Irene. was so insulted that she decided Beryl should not accom- pany her to the studio after all. But she did not go near Beryl to tell her this while the latter washed and ironed the lingerie and cooked the dinner.
 In fact, she said nothing during the meal of her new decision. Mrs Everett unconsciously appeased her injured feelings somewhat by criti- cizing the food.
 "Oh, we'll" Beryl answered list lessly, q didn't feel like cooking" "Mooning over someone?" Irene asked maliciously.

 Irene's intuition warned her to drop the subject. When Beryl spoke like that she was going to be cut tingly sarcastic, and Irene didn't want to lose her temper to the point of disclosing to Beryl what she had in mind for her.
