HOPES TO PREVENT
QUOTA D|SM|SSALS
House Subcommittee Chief
Calls Meeting to Cut
Out Clause.

An effort is being made at a special
meeting of the House subcommittee in
charge Of the Independent Offices appro-
priation bill today to have a committee
amendment adopted to strike from the
bill the provision for dismissal Of Gov
eminent workers on a State appor-
tionment basis.
Representative Woodrum of Virginia,
chairman Of the subcommittee, is head
Ing this movement, which Is supported
by large number in both House and
Senate. The meeting this morning was
executive and surprise meeting called
by Chairman Buchanan of the Appro-
priations Committee.
Hundreds of employees Of the District
would be directly affected by the pro-
vision in the bill which would squeeze
out Government employees from "over-
quota States" that is, States which
have more than their quota of employees
under civil service appointment. Many
thousands of important Federal posi-
tions all over the country are endan-
gered by this provision There is a
strong sentiment in the House and
among members Of the Appropriations
Committee that the provision will be
cut out Of the bill by a committee
amendment to be offered on the floor
by either Chairman Buchanan of the
Appropriations Committee or Repre-
sentative Woodrum of the subcommit-
tee
The latter says that there was in
tention to put such a clause in the bill
and that it defeats the entire purpose of
the 30-year retirement provision. He
declared that efficiency, both physical,
mental and technical, should be the only
standard for deciding whether employees
should be retained or dismissed from
the Government service.

'UNF AIR. SAYS |CKES
Leading Manufacturers Are
Making Identical Offers,
Secretary Charges.

Charges that practically all the
leading cement manufacturers in the
United States" are submitting identical
bids for Federal road work, and that
there is mo competition" have been
filed with the Federal Trade Commits
sion by Secretary of the Interior Ickes.
This was made known last night by
Chairman March of the Trade Commits
sion, who said the Interior Secretary
complained that since all the bids were
alike, the bidding is unfair"
The commission has docketed the
complaint for investigation, but it was
indicated some time would elapse be-
fore report could be made.
At the same time last night, DR.. FL
wood Mead, commissioner of reclama-
tion, reported that bids for cement to
be used In construction of Boulder Dam
had been rejected last week by Secre-
tary Ickes because they were too
high"
The Trade Commission already has
made an extensive investigation into
practices in the cement industry, at the
request OF the Senate, and is expected
to make its report shortly. Until this
Is done, the findings will not be dis
closed.
The commission also is winding up
an investigation for the Senate into
the building materials industry, with
particular reference to material fur

|UPHO[DS DIRECTORS
OF HARTMAN BANK
Conservator Says Associ-
|ates in Pool Were Not Aware
Of ''IIIegaI Acts"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Henry E., Cooper, conservator Of the
Hartman National Bank & Trust Co.
of New York, today wrote the Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee investigating
delay in prosecution of Joseph w. Har-
directors who participated in q syndi-
cate for purchase of the banks stock
were unaware at the time of any 'il-
Legal acts on the part of Hartman.
Cooper told the subcommittee We'd
neSday that Hartman had misappro-
priated funds Of the bank to conceal
banks stock for the pool. While Is
of the 27 directors were In the pool,
he insisted at that time he did not
know whether they were aware of the
irregularities"
Erroneous Impression"
He wrote Chairman Stephens OF the
subcommittee today, however, that an
erroneous impression" of his testimony
had gone out. He added the directors
concerned were preparing a full ex-
planation of the pool and desired to be
heard by the senatorial inquisitors.
Certain individuals who were di-
rectors subscribed on July 8, 1890, each
to 20 shares of the stock of the Harri-
man National Bank & Trust Co." he
wrote THE subscription agreement in
no way authorized or contemplated the
use of the banks funds by loan or
otherwise.
THE directors subscribing to the
agreement suffered loss and believe that
the bank was benefited by their action.
Prepare Statement of Facts.
"The directors concerned inform me
that they are preparing a full state
ment Of facts in relation to the syn
dicate, are employing an expert ac-
countant in connection Herewith; and
welcome an opportunity to present their
statement to your subcommittee should
you desire all the facts
These directors further inform me
that they had no knowledge of any
fictitious entries or of any illegal hold
ing of bank stock, or of the purchase
of bank stock with funds of the bank
until after the examination Of Exam
liner Francis in June, 1892"
Chairman Stephens indicated the
committee might have to go to New
York soon in its study of the Hartman
case.
The group probably will resume its
inquiry here next Wednesday.
