A new administrative system to
expedite relief of District unem-
ployed was ordered today by the
emergency relief division of the
Board of Public Welfare as 1000
needy persons stormed its head
quarters in old Metropolitan
Methodist Church, John Marshall
Pl. and C st. N. w.
Today, Leroy A. Halbert, di-
rector of the division, ordered
that applicants shall be admitted
until closing time. This makes
it possible to register a larger
number each day.
While grocery order slips are
being distributed in emergency
cases. Halbert said that cash al
lowances probably will be received
by Friday
The line outside the church
reached almost to Pennsylvania
Avenue an hour before the doors

SUICIDE BLAMED.
ON BAD CHECK
ROBERTS

Fearing the stigma of arrest,
Garry Mcleod, so, a Washington
insurance claim agent, leaped to
his death last night from the
fourteenth floor of the Second
National Bank Building in Toledo,
Ohio.
Mcleod, formerly connected with
the Watts Detective Agency in
Washington, backed through
window in the office of the Secor
Fishleigh Detective Agency just as
a city detective entered to arrest
him in connection with the is
suance of a bad check.
Earlier in the day he had had
Harry Fishleigh indorse a check
for $50 on a Washington bank.
Fishleigh, becoming suspicious,
communicated with Washington
and learned the bank had closed
July IA.
According to Fishleigh, Mcleod
was sitting on a window sill smok-
ing cigarette when the officer
made his announcement.
He shouted "Adieuw and threw
himself out of the window, land
ing on the roof of another build
ing II stories below, with his head
crushed,

4 HOOVER AIDES
To BALLYHOO
CAMP PA|GN
Borah and Hughes, StandbYS
of 1923, Not Available in
Present Election Fight

Although the extent Of
President Hoover's personal
participation in his campaign
for reelection will not be de-
termined until after his speech
of acceptance here next week,
it is already apparent that he
is going to rely chiefly upon
the "Four Horsemcn" of his
Cabinet to present the Admin
istration S case to the country.
These are Secretaries Mills,
Hurley. Wilbur and Hyde. with
Postmaster General Brown in
the background as a sort Of
strategical and tactical director.
Scarcity of Talent
Four years ago there was no
dearth of Republican orators.
Batteries of them combed the
country from end to end, SEN
ators, Representatives, ex-officials
of various kinds. and numerous
distinguished volunteers. But this
year, for one reason or another,
there is something Of scarcity
of .oratorical talent in the Re-
publican camp.
Two men who probably did
more than anyone else to elect
Mr.. Hoover in 1928. Charles
Evans Hughes and Senator Will
liam E. Borah, are unavailable
for the 1882 contest.
Hughes has clustered himself
in the Supreme Court, where poll.
tics is supposed to be taboo.
Borah is off the reservation
and has flatly announced he
cannot support Hoover"
Out of Sympathy
A good many Republican SEN
ators are similarly unavailable,
some of them because they are
out of sympathy with Mr.. Hoover
on prohibition and other matters:
others because they have their
own political skins to look out for
in November. without taking on
UIle aQQeQ DurQen OF Qetendlng

Thus, it pretty we'll comes down
to the cabinet-and Mr.. Hoover
himself.
Everett Sanders, the new chair
man of the national committee,
has stated that Calvin Coolidge
will participate" in the cam
paign, but nothing confirmatory
of that has come from the Sage
of Northampton himself, and San
ders is vague when asked to just
what extent he will take part.

TWO COMMERCE
OFFICES MERGE

In accord with provisions of
the Department of Commerce ap-
preparation bill for the fiscal
year 1888, the department today
announced the merger of it's
steamboat inspection service and
the Bureau of Navigation.
The former bureau has 21 en-
ployes here and 399 in the field.
The latter has 80 here and 153
in the field. 1t was said all the
employees would be retained, and
that no special economy is antici-
pated as a result of the merger,
but that more efficiency may be
obtained as coordination is i'm
proved.
The new bureau will be called
the Bureau of Navigation and
Inspection Service. 1t will be
headed by a director as yet un-
named. Assistant directors will
be former directors of the two
bureaus. A. j. Tyrer of the
Bureau Of Navigation and Dicker-
son N. Hoover of the Steamboat

we're forced to return to their

D; c, JUSTICES
MUST TAKE
PAY CUTS
Such Is Ruling MCCarI Sends
to Attorney General Mitchell;
Patent Court Escapes

Justices of the District of
Columbia Supreme Court and
of the District Court of Ap-
peals must take a pay cut, ac-
cording to decision by Comp
troller General McCarl, sent to
Attorney General Mitchell to-
day.
McCarl's ruling draws the dis
tinction between Legislative"
courts and constitutional"
courts. The constitutional"
courts are not affected by the
cut.
Courts Affected
The legislative courts include,
in addition to the District Su-
preme Court and Court of Ap-
peals, the United States Court of
Claims in this city, the United
States Customs Court in New
York and all Federal district
courts in Alaska, Porto Rico and
Hawaii.
Constitutional courts exempt
from the cut include the Su-
preme Court of the United
States, 10 United States circuit
courts and 80 United States dis
trict courts. with about 1875 JUS
tices all told.
No estimate was made at the
Department of Justice as to the
number of judges whose salaries
will be reduced.
Down to $4,000
Under the terms of McCarps
decision, where salaries exceed
$4,000 a year they are required
to be reduced to that figure, in
accordance with section 1O7-A,
paragraph 5. of the economy bill.
Salaries of $4,000 will be re-
duced 10 per cent and salaries of
less than $4,000 will be cut 8.3
per cent, but no furlough or five
day-week provision will apply.
Justices whose salaries are re-
duced to $4,000 will not have to
take a second reduction based on
percentage.
The decision does not apply to
the United States Court of Gus
toms and Patent Appeals in this
city because, it is understood, the
justices have already taken a
voluntary reduction.

American who saw, some time ago,

in America it is largely private If governors got
meodramatic they would. right away create second,
supplementary and very secret system of telephones and
telegraphs They could hardly lay down series of
transcontinenta railroads. but they could moorze all
the defensive forces of the country. Revolutionares
might capture the subtreasury in New York and the
Capitol in Washington for the latter they would have
carte blanche anyhow but the Government would
tnue to function long enough with its secondary systems
of communication and supply to get them back.

KENT COUNTY WINS NEGRO
HEALTH AWARD

For the third successive year
Kent County, Md, has lead
rural communities throughout
the United States in its Ma
tional Negro Health Week
campaign. In 1880 a silver
cup was awarded to Kent coun-
ty as leader of it's class. The
system was then changed and
a gold seal was presented to
the county in 1881 for it's high
ranking. This year, 1882, the
gold seal certificate was not
only awarded to Kent but a
letter from the chairman of
National Negro Health Week
stated that Kent again ranks
first.
Great interest has been
shown each year in the inten-
sified work of Negro Health
Week which comes around the
end of March and the first part
of April. The twenty-five col
ored schools in the county
have cooperated 100 per cent
with Marjorie Forte, the health
nurse who supervises the work
of the colored group. County
organizations and interested
individuals of the white group
cooperated toward the success
of the work.

SOLAR ECLIPSE AUGUST 81

The solar eclipse on August
81 will be 80 per cent complete
in Washington, and will be
best visible in this country in
Maine, where a party of scient-
lists from the Naval Observa-
tory at the capital will go to
view it.
The naval observation base
will be between Limerick and
Limington, Maine, and a 90
foot telescope tower and other
structures for apparatus are
being constructed.
Total eclipse of the sun Will
occur shortly after two o'clock
Wednesday, August 81, when
the shadow of the moon touch
es the earth in the Attic Ocean,
north of Northern Siberia.
Naval Observatory officials
said that the shadow will trav-
ell at an average speed OF some
1000 miles an hour, moving
northward and passing within
a few hundred miles OF the
North Pole, thence crossing
southeastward over Melville
Island Hudson Bay and over
the province of Quebec, Can.
In the United States, the
great shadow will pass over
Northwestern Vermont, across
New Hampshire and South
western and Southern Maine.
Shortly after four O'Clock, the
shadow will leave the earth.
Totally will vary from SO per
cent at Boston to 10 per cent
at San Francisco, with the Ma
tional Capitol getting almost a
full show.
