NEW PAY CUT
To Be ACTED
ON NEXT
Bratton Amendment Believed
to Mean Wholesale Dis
miSSaI of Workers

Continued suspension of an,
nual leave with pay for Fed
eral employees was approved by
the Senate today as it resumed
consideration of the economy
provisions of the Treasury-Post
Office bill.
The House previously had voted
denial of annual leave with pay
for 1884 and the Senate sustained
that action today.
Interrupted by Memorial
Meeting at 1880, the Senate
Immediately turned to the econ.
omy program, but was forced to
suspend at noon in order that
members might participate. in
memorial services for Calvin
Coolidge, being held in the House.
Debate was to be resumed at
the conclusion of the memorial
services.
Because of the interruption and
agreements entered into regarding
procedure of the bill, it is consid,
cred unlikely that the Senate will
reach today the section in the
bill providing for a 1873 per cent
pay cut.
Pay Cut Up Tomorrow
The additional pay cut pro-
posal and the Bratton recommen-
dation for a per cent reduction
in general appropriations to be
executed by department. heads
probably will not be taken up be-
fore tomorrow.
In an attempt to prevent the
Bratton proposal from being ap-
piled as a pay cut, Senator Ed
ward P. Costigan CD of Colorado
will seek adoption of an amend
ment that would prevent further
salary reductions or furloughs.
John Arthur Shaw, president of
the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees, warned the
Senate in a statement that further
salary reductions would imperil
the efficiency of Government
service.
The bill contains a proposal to
vest President elect Roosevelt with

BABYIN 0[DCR|B
AS DADDY DIES

Baby sleeps in his old crib to-
day and sister does without her
new doll and all the other toys
she was expecting.
Daddy lies in a Pennsylvania
morgue.
All the world had been rosy
yesterday. Harry Bressler, 38, re-
ceived permission from his en-
ployer, Washington cab owner,
to drive to Atlantic City for a
visit to his wife and two children.
In the back of his machine,
Bressler carefully packed new
crib for his youngest child and
a doll and several toys for the
older one.
At Ridley Town, Pa, he crashed
into bus of the Chester Valley
Bus Line and was thrown beneath
the wheels of the bus. He was
dead when extricated from the
wreckage of his machine. The
crib and toys were smashed.
The body was taken to Nor
wood (PaD morgue and identi-
fled by a brother, Samuel, of
Philadelphia.

JUDGE C[EARED'MERCURY At Is,
BY BYCOMM|TTEE BUT GOES UP

Federal Judge Harold Louder
back, of the northern district of
California, was exonerated of any
official wrong-doing by the House
Judiciary Committee today.
The committee voted, 10 to S,
against impeachment. However,
it voted, 10 to 5, to censure some
of his official actions.
Representative LaGuardia (R.)
of New York, author of the reso-
luton lunder which the inquiry
was conducted, will take the fight
to the floor of the House and
bring an impeachment resolu-
ton there.
He said a minority report
would be filed recommending i'm
peachment.
Louderback has not been under
any charge, the resolution merely
providing for an inquiry into his
official actions in connection
with appointment of receivers.

PROFESSOR
ACCUSED
IN BARRY
PROBE:
Senate Hears Statement, GriIIs
Sergeant-at-Arms Upon
Charges of Graft

An inquiry into reports that
a college professor in the Ma
tional Capital taught his stu
dent that Congress is corrupt
was started today by the Sem
ate Judiciary Committee as a
result of hearing the Senate's
suspended sergeant-at-arms,
David S. Barry, explain his
charge that members of Con-
gress take money for their
votes.
Barry attempted to extenuate
his recent magazine article by de-
claring that young student en-
ployed in the Capitol told him q
college professor, taught his class
that Congress is corrupt.
Under questioning Barry ad-
mitted the student gave him this
information after he wrote for
the New Outlook magazine the
article which caused his suspen-
sion.
Ordered to Appear
The committee decided, how
ever, to investigate this situation,
withholding final judgment on
Barry until tomorrow.
1t will recommend his dismissal
from office in all likelihood when
1t reports to the Senate at 4
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The committee ordered the pro-
fessor subpoenaed as soon as
Barry could identify him.
Senators Norris, Blaine, Schall,
Austin, Schuyler, Hastings, Re-
publicanS, and Walsh (Montana),
Bratton, Black and Nicely, Demo-
Gratis, were present when Barry
appeared.
Opening Was Changed
Barry revealed that the edi-
tors of the magazine-Alfred E.
Smith is editor and Francis Wal
ton is managing editor-had
transposed a paragraph in his
article, apparently to make the
introduction more sensational.
The Introductory paragraph car
ried the charges that a few men,
bers of Congress take money for
their votes.
Barry admitted writing the
words in the original manuscript
but said he had buried" them in
the body of the article. One of
the magazine editors, he said,
tranSpoSed this paragraph, to
open the story. He said:
"It never would have caused
all this cOmmOtiOn If it had
been left where 1 wrote it,"
Senator Black CD of Alabama
questioned Barry about confer.

having conferred with sny Sen
ator about his case.
