FURLOUGH BANNED
INNAWD|SM|SSALS
Absolute Separation of One
of Married Persons to Be
Demanded.

The Navy Department today was on
record as opposed to considering fur
lough of married person, in another
department, as sufficient grounds for
the retention of an employe, slated to
be discharged on May 81. There are
203 Navy Department workers, scat
tered in various bureaus Of the depart
ment, who will go out at the end OF
this month.
F. S. Curtis, chief clerk of the Navy
Department, explained that under q
ruling of Controller General McCarl
last August, touching section 2l3 OF
the economy act-the so-called mar
ried womens clause-furloughi is not
separation from the service. Accord
ingly, any of the 203 Navy Department
employees slated to go May 81, who are
married to Government workers, can
not be placed on furlough. to satisfy
the economy requirements.
Separation Demanded.
Neither will the Navy Department
accept the furloughing of spouse in
another department as sufficient rea-
son for retaining its own worker. There
must be absolute separation of one OF
the married parties from the Govern
ment service, officials say.
In view of the fact the independent
offices appropriation bill, now pending
in the Senate, carries a clause under
which Government employees having 80
years service may be separated from
the active pay rolls, many couples, both
working for the Government, are fearful
lest they be compelled to live only on
the retired workers salary.
High naval officials today quoted As
cfc ctny 70 ~ hA Hny
Roosevelt, who is handling economy
gram of the department, under which
z03 civil workers here will be dropped,
will go forward regardless. As the 30
year provision of the Independent Offices
appropriation bill has not yet been
enacted, the Navy Department is taking
no official legal cognizance of this now.
viii Ask Reinstatement.
The official said, however, that should
any Government worker married to
any of the 203 Navy Department en-
ployes to be dismissed shortly lose out
in any reorganization program of the
President, the Navy Department will
recommend to the Civil Service Com
mission that employees so affected be
reinstated by the Navy.
Government workers are stirred over
the refusal of the Navy Department to
wait some days beyond May 81 before
discharging its 203 workers-or at least
those married to Government workers
affected by the 30-year provision-until
that section of the independent offices
appropriation bill can be worked out
equitably.
Mr.. Curtis and his associates de-
clined to give the exact number Of
workers in each of the bureaus to be
discharged in less than a week. They
likewise withheld the number of married
persons slated to go who have spouses
also in the Government service. They
explained the newspapers will be given
statement on the whole subject on
May 81.

PLAN DOUBLE FUNERAL RITES
FOR BOYS SDROWNED IN CHANNEL
Donald Tudor, II, Loses Life
Trying to Save Cousin
at War College Dock.
Tragedy Occurs as Youths
Were Preparing for
Fishing Expedition.

A double funeral was being planned
today for two boys who drowned late
yesterday off the Army War College
dock, one of them after an heroic
effort to rescue the other.
The youngsters, cousins, were Archi-
bald U. Sonny" Turner. jr., 8, and
Donald Tudor II, sons of sergeants at
the Army post.
In company with Paul Gibson, 12-
year-old son of Col P. W. Gibson, they
were about to start fishing when the
double tragedy occurred. Sonny"
Turner had climbed down the landing
stage of the dock AS he jumped into
rowbost his foot slipped and he
toppled. screaming. into the chilly wa
tiers of the Washington Channel
The Tudor boy, knowing his younger
cousin could not swim, leaped in after
him, as the Gibson youngster, also un-
able to swim, ran toward shore, shout
ing for help.
Donald. an excellent swimmer,
reached his frantic little cousin, but
as he came within range of the lads
failing arms, Sonny clutched him with
a ceath grip and they both sank under
the surface after brief struggle
The Gibson boy, meanwhile, had at
tracted the attention of Sergt. William
Humnel, who ran to the pier and
tossed lie preserver toward the two
who were fighting for their lives. Not
a good swimmer himself, he intended
to follow the line out toward the boys,
grab them and tow them back to the
landing stage.
But, as he ran down the steps to the
landing stage, his feet slipped from
under him and he, too, plunged into
the water, striking his head on the
bottom platform and being knocked
almost unconscious. BY this time. both
boys had sunk and Hummel was nearly
done for himself. He was pulled from
the water by Corpl Mahlon p Lepperd,
who also had been attracted by Paul's
screams.
Harbor police and the fire rescue
squad recovered the two little bodies
with graphing hooks after 15-minute
search and for more than an hour tried
vainly to revive them by artificial
respiration and inhalators. Maj. E. F.
Haines, post surgeon, pronounced them

|NEW PROBE URGED
INTO D. c. HOUSING
| AND RENT PROBLEM
Capper Offers Bill Ordering
| Utilities Commission to
Gather Facts.
lDESIRES INFORMATION
| FOR WINTER SESSION
Declares Time Lacking for Action
Before Recess, but Wants Close
Check Continued.

A new investigation of rental and
housing problems in Washington. to be
conducted by the Public Utilities Com
mission, was proposed in a resolution
introduced this afternoon by Senator
Capper, Republican, of Kansas. who
headed a similar inquiry by the Senate
District Committee at the last session.
Senator Capper said there would be
no opportunity for Congress to con-
slider at this session legislation recon-
mended by the District Committee as
the result of its rent investigation, and
that he wanted the Utilities CommiSc
sion to continue study OF the subf
during the approaching recess, so that
when Congress returns next Winter 1t
would have up-to-date information be-
fore 1t.
Claims Need Pressing.
1.-The committees investigation dis
closed pressing need for remedial leg
islation in connection with various
phases of housing in the District" Sem
ator Capper said "As it is fruitless to
hope that we can achieve the obiec-
tives outlined in the rent inveStiga-
ton report before the close of the pres
ent session, I am convinced that the
committee, with the assistance of the
public OF Washington, should make a
determined effort to perfect perma-
nent and comprehensive housing ple,n
for Washington before the next session.
ITO accomplish this purpose, 1t is
essential that the committee be in
formed concerning changes in the local
housing situation, particularly so far
as concerns rents We should have the
benefit of an up to date survey Of the
facts so that the housing program.
when presented to the Senate at the
next session, win be based on current
conditions and not on those year or
more old.
Wants Figures Up to Date.
"The effect on rents of the recent
reduction in Government salaries should
be studied. Statistics on evictionS, tax
alton, maintenance costs, emergency re-
lief housing and similar matters should
be assembled, so that our legislation
cannot be attacked on the ground that
1t is based on old figures unrepresenta-
tive of changing conditions"
The resolution would direct and en-
power the utilities commission to in
vestigate all facts relating to the cost
and character of housing and rented
premises and provides that the COM
mission may call witnesses and SUBJ
peona records and accounts, the same
as in performing other duties regarding
public utilities. The commission is di-
rected to report to the Senate on or
before January 80, 1884.
The resolution probably will be re-
ferred to the District Committee before
being acted on.

Mary Pickford Due in
''Secrets," With Best
Cast of Her Career

Surrounded by one Of the largest
casts in her long career and directed
by Frank Borzage, two-time Academy
winner, Mary Pickford comes to the
Paramount theater tomorrow In "sec-
rets," an adaptation Of the celebrated
stage play by Rudolf Besier and May
Edgington. And thus, according to
all advance reports, motion picture
fans will see the star in one Of the
hest pictures she has made.
Secrets gives Miss Pickford what
she believes is an ideal vehicle. In
the first place it is motion picture"
from beginning to end, and In the
second place the story is simple one
Of love and elemental emotions, with
no wise-cracking and no sophistica-
ton. It is Miss Pickfords sincere
belief that simple tales, simply told,
will be the salvation Of the screen,
just as they are bound to be in litera-
ture.
Months of preparatory work went
into the perturbation of Secrets"
In every branch, Miss Pckford spared
no expense and time in procuring the
best material and the best personnel,
as will be borne out by a glance at
the production staff and the cast of
players. Both before and behind the
camera were names" known through
out the world.
