ing the patrolman.

mother during the 4 o'clock service and
left the church trying to find her. The
Lusks reside at lit Thirty-seyenth

AUTHORITY GIVEN
TO CUT OFF WATER
D. C. Heads Approve Action
Unless Consumers Pay
Service Bills.

The District Commissioners yesterday
gave authority to the Water Department
to cut off the water supply of water
consumers who refuse to pay bills for
repair of service pipes found leaking
There is at present no such authority
and, according to the Assistant Engineer
Commissioner, the District collected
only about one-third Of the cost Of re-
placing these pipes in 1880. Bills were
sent out covering all Of the work, but
the balance remained unpaid. The Dis
trict has no authority to assess such
costs against AUDITING property in such
a way that the assessments would be-
come lien on the property.
The problem of service pipes, accord
ing to Capt. Dram, becomes acute only
where repaving work is being done.
There the removal Of the old pavement
reveals leakage in old wrought iron
pipes installed prior to 1905, which have
maximum life. under most favorable
conditions, Of 30 years In order to
protect the new paving these pipes must
be replaced.
The pipes belong to the consumers
from the water main, which is usually
in the center of the street, TO the
water meter Capt. Dram said that he
believed that the District should really
bear the cost of maintenance of these
pipes from the main to the curb cock,
since it owns the road surface over the
pipes. He said he would recommend to
the Commissioners that the District
lake over the expense Of such main
tenance beginning with next fiscal
year. But, meantime. every time a new
pavement is laid. many of these old
pipes must be renewed, adding consid-
erably to the cost of the job. Under a
threat OF cutting off the water supply,
he believes the consumers will pay the
repair bills.
The order is not retroactive, and con-
sequently will not apply to any work
already done, but only TO work to be
done in the future. Pipes laid since
1906 are for the most part lead or
steel he said. and since these have a
life OF about 100 years, they are seldom
found to be leaking when repsving or
new paving work is done.

REVISED L|ST|NGS
OF u. S. EMPLOYEES
PREDICTED BY DALE
10000 Would Be Affected
by Changes ForeSeen Dur
ing Next Session.
SENATE UNITS CHAIRMAN
HELD TO BACK 5-DAY PLAN
Proposed Promotion System Likely
to Increase Morale, Advo-
Gates Believe.

A revised classification system for
Government employees both in Washing
ton and throughout the country will be
enacted by the next Congress, Senator
Dale, Republican, of Vermont, chair
man of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee, predicted today Senator Dale
has just returned from a trip to YER
mont
Recalling also the discussion which
occurred during the last session on the
proposal for flve-day week in the
Government service, the Vermont SEN
ator expects the Civil Service Commit
tee will be a busy group in the new
Congress. While indicating that he
probably would favor the five-day week
if the subject is revived, Senator Dale
said he believed this proposal would
meet with considerable opposition.
Vacancies on Committee.
There are several vacancies to be
filled on the Civil Service Committee.
and it is not likely the group will begin
studying proposed legislation until after
the Senate gets down to business in
December. In the meantime, however,
Chairman Dale will acquaint himself
with the details of the lengthy report
on revision of the classification law filed
just before the last Congress closed
Until he has weighed the various
changes recommended. Senator Dale is
not predicting just what form Of new
law will be passed, but he is confident
Congress will legislate on the subject
when 1t returns.
The pending report, prepared under
the supervision of william H. Nc
Reynolds, director of classification, is
~ 60
years ago when it passed the WEIGH
act, increasing salaries. 1t is intended
primarily as a guide to Congress In
establishing a classification system for
the 600 Federal workers in the field
services. but the basic changes pro-
posed would apply also to $4,000 I'M
classified Government workers in
Washington.
Text Of Bill Included.
The report contains the text Of sug-
gested bill to take the place of the old
classification law and all its amend
ments feature of the report is that
it would abolish the oft-debated aver
age provision" governing the extent to
which an employe may advance within
his respective grade OF the calssiflca-
ton schedule.
The report also recommends a new
promotion system, which the trainers
of the recommendations believe would
do more than anything else to increase
the morale OF the Government service.
Briefly. the accommodation is for a
new system OF efficiency ratings that
would enable department heads TO rate
employees as good" fair" or 'unsat-
isfactory." Employees rated good would
be advanced automatically one each
year to the next higher rate, provided
Congress provides sufficient funds, until
they reach the maximum rate for their
class and grade, as specified in the
schedules.

Theory Put Forward After
Discovery of Stolen Sedan
Near Station.
POLICE BELIEVE HOLD-UP
WAS CAREFULLY PLANNED
Car Used in Robbing Peoples
Drug Workers Was Stolen
Week Before.

The three hold-up men who robbed
two Peoples Drug Co. employees Of a
$500 pay roll Wednesday are believed
to have driven to Union Station in the
big blue sedan" in which they wer.
seen to leave the scene of the robbery
The theory that the men left the city
by train was put forward by police to-
day, following discovery OF the car, still
bearing the fraudulently obtained license
plates parked near Union Station. The
machine bore no marks that might lead
to the Identification OF the robbers.
The automobile was found on the
Union Station Plaza by Oficer Matthew
Chymlko, sixth precinct. who is de-
tailed at Union Station. 1t had evident
ly been there since the day Of the rob-
berry, according to police.
Stolen From Warren e. Hunt.
The car had been stolen from Warren
E. Hunt, 2551 Seventeenth street, while
parked at 1869 Mintwood place. on
Tuesday night, March "a, week be-
fore the robbery.
demonstrating the crime in theory,
police have reached the superstition
that the three small, dapper men"
had planned the robbery weeks in ad-
vance; that one Of their number, or an
accomplice, went to the District Build
ing late in March. procuring the license
plates used on the car at the time of
the robbery, under the fraudulent name
OF Frank Lutz, 1893 Sixteenth street,
and that the car was stolen after the
purchase Of the plates.
Employees at the drug warehouse,
near which the hold-up occurred. had
seen the three men lingering about the
alley for several weeks previous to the
hold-up. but had thought nothing OF
1t. as many strangers were constantly
in the vicinity.
Crime Well Planned.
With the stolen car, q sedan, parked
nearby: with positive knowledge the
two hold-up victims returned shortly
before noon each Wednesday with the
warehouse pay roll and with knowledge
Of train schedules which enabled them
to make their quick getaway, the rob-
bers course was mapped out in advance,
police believe
The two drug employees, Edwin W.
Edmonston, buyer, and Seymour
Stoutenbourgh, assistant warehouse
manager had just returned from a
downtown bank with the pay rcll at
about IL o'clock when they were con-
fronted by the three men.
Two leveled guns at their victims,
while the other searched them and got
the pay roll. Then all three made O
dash for the car and sped away.
Police in a patrol car 400 yards from
the scene of the robbery we're given q
wrong address over the radio and con-
sequently arrived on the scene after the
bandits had escaped.
