COCHRAN DEMANDS
HIGHER AGE LIMIT
ON ALL CLASSES
Expects Cabinet Officers to
Approve Increases in Maxi
mum on U. S. Jobs.
AWAITS FINAL FINDING
BY SECRETARY PERKINS
Not Making Fight for Only Typ
lists and Stenographers, Repre-
sentative Says.

Emphasizing that he expects cabi-
net officers to go into the question of
age limits for Government employ
ment and approve higher maMmumS
than now prevail in a number of
classifications, Representative Cochran,
Democrat, of Missouri, whose fight led
to the reversal of the 40-year rule for
stenographers and typists, said today
he proposed to await the ultimate find
ings of Secretary of Labor Perkins be-
fore taking further action He did not
forecast his course beyond this.
Miss Perkins had been delegated by
President Roosevelt with the task Of
studying this issue when Cochran first
lodged his protest on the scaling down
Of entrance ages for number Of types
OF employment, and has said that she
proposed to talk to department heads
about it.
Insists on More Action.
1t was understood her principal at-
tention was being directed to the
stenographer-typis for whom the
Civil Service Commission had lowered
the maximum age from so years. In
raising the limit to SO yesterday, how
ever, the commission covered only part
OF the ground, Cochran insisted TODAY.
wasn't making this fight for
stenographers--a typists only" the
Missourian said today. TT was for all
those classes IN which the ages have
been lowered"
Taking a fling at the Civil Service
commission for cutting the maximum
ages for teachers of home economics
IN Indian Service high schools from AS
70 40 years, Cochran declared there
was no reason for such a limit.
Prefers Their Biscuits.
IN take the biscuits of a woman OF
45 before one Of 25," he said.
Reduction from 40 to 35 of the en-
trance limit for junior graduate nurses
also was hit by Cochran, as were some
otner changes, among which was tab
ulatlng and circulating machine opera
tors, where the cut was from SO to IS,
Some Of the examinations in which
the new limits have been set are still
open and others have been closed, but
Cochran insisted they could be reopened
where necessary. All of the low age
limits to which Cochran takes excep-
f, ton were not fixed by the present com.
mission, but Cochrane's idea is for q
general revision upward.
There was no indication at the COM
mission today that any further changes
are contemplated. ~-e-

WITNESS MISSING
IN De BENQUE CASE
Delay in Trial Caused by
Absence of Woman Called
by Defense.

The unexplained absence Of an i'm
portant defense witness brought the
larceny trial of the Countess Grace de
Benque and George A. Gormley to an
abrupt halt in District Supreme Court
today and virtually eliminated any
chance of finishing the case before next
week.
When informed that the witness, Alice
Glenn, was not present, although she
had been personally served with SUBJ
poena, Trial Justice Joseph w. Cox
issued writ of attachment for her and
directed a deputy marshall to bring her
into court this afternoon.
Gormleys attorney. in an effort to
demonstrate the Importance of this wit
ness, started to say she would discredit
some of the apvefurnent's testimony.
Hewas ipterrupted hi Assistant United
States attorney Jbfnf r. Fitzpatrick,
however, who contended the attorney
could not describe the testimony of the
witness Until ne f1a6 placed her on the
stand.
Jury Is Excused for Time.
Justice Cox. unwilling to continue
without this witness, excused the jury
until this afternoon and devoted the
rest of the morning to arguments on
motions and instructions. Shortly be-
fore the luncheon recess, he overruled
a motion for a directed verdict which
had been argued by defense attorneys
on the theory that the Government had
not made out case which should be
allowed to go to the jury.
The defense, in surprise move, called
as it's own witness this morning Miss
Louise Maret, go, the complaining wit
ness. Miss Maret is the co-proprietor
of private school. While testifying
as a Government witness earlier in the
week, she charged that Gormley and
the countess stole $1,000 from her by
leading her to believe the money was
to be used in bribing bogus policeman
who had ARRESTED" her and Gormley
while they were taking an automobile
ride on the night of october 8, 1881.
Miss Maret was asked but one queS-
ton by the defense-whether the sig
nature on a purported receipt was hers.
She said she remembered giving CORN
ley receipt, but said it was not SIM
liar to the one shown her. She also
declared she was not certain the sig
nature was hers. The defense attor-
neys asked no further questions, but
later offered the receipt In evidence
Gormley, who yesterday denied all
Miss Maret's allegations relating to the
attempt to bribe the policeman" was
the only other witness on the stand
this morning. Fitzpatrick asked him II
he knew Arthur May, the man who
was identified at the outset Of the trial
as being the supposed policeman.
Gormley said he did know the man.
About three months after the episode
Of the arrest, he said, May telephoned
him at his home and threatened to
tell his wife he had been with Miss
Maret if he talked to the District At
torneys Office about the case. Gormley
admitted he had given Miss Maret a
note for $4,000, but said he did so at
her request to cover up shortage in
her accounts at the school. Miss
Maret said he gave her the note to
secure her for the $4,000 she advanced
to bribe the policeman.
Gormley contended throughout his
testimony that Miss Maret took the
initiative in the romance" between
them.

Bank Status Disclosed.
In his letter yesterday, Mr.. Lyons
disclosed for the first time from
the Treasury point OF view the
actual status Of the savings oank, ac-
cording to the latest examination, re-
Gently completed. This examination

shows there is deficit in the acceptable
assets of S416, 1857 in the amount re-
quired to meet the total liability OF
1888 ,467.92. The bank is thus in
solvent, Mr. Lyons declared, in so far
as acceptable assets are concerped by
said sum of S416, 1857.
Mr.. Lyons then made an analysis OF
what the Cooper plan would do to the
bank on the basis of the new examina-
vides for the depositors to sign waiver
for 35 per cent Of their deposits, In
order to receive in cash when the bank
reopens the remaining IS per cent. Mr.
LYONS analysis indicates that upon
the basis of a waver of 35 per cent
the depositors would contribute $575.-
586.38. and they would thus be con-
tributing toward the capital structure
