KELLEY MOVES
FOR OLD JOB

Lyman M. Kelley, deposed pres.
ident of the Arlington county
board of supervisors, will make
another bid for reinstatement to
the office from which Judge Fred
erick w. Coleman ordered him re-
moved when he presents his mo-
ton for a new trial in Arlington
county circuit court tomorrow.
Since his conviction on charges
of malfeasance. miSfeaSance and
gross neglect of official duty sew
eral weeks ago, Mr.. Kelley claims
to have had a telephone converSa-
ton with Clyde C. Lamond, key
witness for the State during his
custer trial, in which Mr.. Lamond
told him that he never considered
that Mr.. Kelley solicited a bribe
from him.
According to the former board
chairman's allegations, as con-
tanned in the motion for a new
trial, he has a dictaphone record
of the entire conversation, a
record which was recorded by his
sister, Virginia Kelley, from an
extension phone.

Zoo Gets
TWORare Antelope

Extremely wild and fleet, the
dun colored antelope present an
odd appearance with faces that
suggest the famous Durante
"schnozzle," topped off with short
horns. Early in the nineteenth
century the Russian government
tried to domesticate the animals
in an effort to commercialize their
valuable fur, but gave it up as a
bad job.
London's zoo is known to have
had one of such antelope in 1864
and there is a female now in the
Berlin ZOO. but the species is said
to be unknown elsewhere. Three
of the animals were started from
Moscow for Washington, but one
died at sea.

AGENDA NEAR
FAILURE
Nippon Believed Set to Quit
Washington Pact Dec. 20;
1885 Prospect Gloomy
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright. 1884. by International
NeMa SerNicel


The United States will with.
draw from the London naval dis
cussions the moment Japan serves
formal notice of its intention to
denounce the Washington Naval
Treaty, it was learned on reliable
authority today.
American Ambassador Norman
H. Davis, chief of the American
delegation to the discussions,
already has been informed that
this Government expects him to
withdraw from the conversations
unless the basis for an agreement
has been reached before Japan
serves notice of termination.
With Japan still adamant in its
demand for full naval equality,
It was admitted that at the mo-
ment there appeared no prospects
Of an agreement.
Japs to Quit December 20
Authoritative quarters here be-
lieved Japan probably would serve
notice of termination of the Wash
ington treaty about December 20.
The position of this Government
is that denunciation of the treaty
by Japan will create an entirely
new situation.
To agree to continue the conver
CAfjNY1c offnr ToNoTA HnV1N11YNNoc fhn
Washington Naval Treaty would
be tantamount, in the opinion of
officials, to acquiesce to Japan'S
demand for modification of the
ratios on which the treaty is
based. This, it was said. the
United States is unwilling to do.
With the conferees at London
unable to agree upon an agenda
for the 1885 conference owing to
Japan's insiStence upon full equal
ity as the price for it's willingness
to enter any new agreement, the
feeling prevailed here that the
best course to follow upon Tokyo's
denunciation of the treaty would
be postponement of the conversa-
tions for the next few months at
least.
Waiting Policy
The international conferences
provided for in both the Wash
ington and London naval treaties
do not, it was pointed out. neces-
sarily have to be held until the
end of 1885.
The attitude of this government
Is that many things may happen
in the space of 10 or IL months,
and Japan might possibly be in
a more conciliatory frame of mind
by that time, although the wish
was father to the thought insofar
as this hope was concerned.
However, it was felt that moth.
ing could be lost by letting the
situation ride for a few months
after Japan's denunciation of the
treaty. Whether this view would
be shared by Great Britain and
the other naval powers was un-
known here.

To Map Plans Soon
Just how many employees will
be benefited cannot be estimated,
since it is believed that the Pres
ident will first determine what he
is going to do with some of the
emergency agencies in the way of
consolidation and abolition.
However. the Administration
consolidation plans are expected
to be mapped out before Congress
meets, and then it can be de-
termined which groups will bene-
fit by the non-competitive exam
nations.
BabcOck Gratified
Informed that such a proposal
will be advocated by the admin
istration, E. Claude Babcock, pres.
ident of the American Federation
of Government Employees. COM
mended the proposition highly.
explaining:
"Our organization has been
advocating such plan for a
long time, and of course, it will
be a matter of great satisfac-
ton if it is done.
Il firmly believe that it will
be done. Not only has our
organization urged it, but the
American Federation of Labor,
with which we are affiliated,
adopted a resolution at its last
convention asking that all
Government employees be under
civil service.
There is a historic angle to
this proposition which has en-
cOuraged us into the believing
that we would be successful in
having this plan effected during
the coming year. That is that
In past administrations it has
been in the third year that the
employees brought in through
political endorsements have
been brought under the civil
service. This has been true
ever since the civil service was
established"

federal prisons were working under
the state-use system.

federal prisons were working under
the state-use system.
According to the survey, there were
158,947 prisoners confined in state and
federal prisons in 1882. This COM
pares with 84,761 in 1928, the year
of the bureaus last previous survey
on this subject. The figures present
an increase of 81 per cent in the nine
year period.
Of the number incarcerated in 1882
-82,276 were engaged in productive
labor, 52,986 were engaged in various
prison duties (such as cooking, wash
ing, keeping cells clean, scrubbing pri-
son walls, etc.,; 6,558 were sick and
17,027 were idle.
The 82,276 prisoners engaged in
productive labor produced goods hav-
ing value of over $4,000, 900.
Among the most important classes of
goods produced were 22,000,000 shirts
having value of over $8,0O0,00O; 3d.
100000 pounds of binder twine having
value of $4,O00,O0O; and more than
36,OOO,OO0 automobile license tags.
Twelve hundred miles of new roads,
having valuation of over $15,OOO,-
900, were built by prison labor in
1892 Approximately $55,0OO,OOO
worth of this road work was built in
Georgia.
Of the 116 state prisons, sc paid a
money wage to all or part of the in
mates; 48 paid no compensation OF
any kind for work done; and two al
lowed credit of time of sentence for
prisoners doing certain classes of
work. Of the twelve federal prisons,
seven paid wages to prisoners for
work done and five did not. In most
of the institutions the pay was nomi-
nal, generally ranging from 2 cents
| to not more than Is cents per day,
| although in a few prisons the scales
were considerably higher.
| Of the prisoners employed at pro-
ductive labor in 1882, 1.3 per cent had
nominal working hours Of less than
i24 per week; 55.2 per cent worked A
hours or less per week; while 21.S
percent worked 60 hours or over per
week.
The productive work of prisoners in
federal and state prisons were carried
| on under several systems, namely,
state-use, state-account, contract,
piece price, and public-works and
highways. Of particular interest is
the dictinction between state-use sys-
tenn and the state-account system. In
the former system, all products are
used in state institutions and none is
sold in the open market. Under the
state-acount system, prison products
are offered for sale and thus come
into competition with products of
free labor and industry.
The lease system, i. e., the system
of leasing out inmates to employers
at so much per prisoner, has entirely
disappeared from practice, the survey
revealed.

A decrease in the prison products
sold on the open market in competi-
ton with free labor and free indus
try is shown by the survey of prison
labor completed by the bureau of la
Dor statistics of the United States
Department of Labor. Congress was
convinced in 1929 that too many pri-
son goods were sold on the open mar
ket, and therefore passed the Hawes-
Cooper act, which will tend further
to restrict the sale of prison goods
in competition with free industry.
