Comptroller General McCarl's
order that the 5 per back pay
restoration for February and
March can be paid only to those
actually on the Government rolls
on March 81, today threw dis
bursting officials of the Depart
ment. of Agriculture into a
dilemma.
What, they are wondering,
should be done about a girl
stenographer who spent several
years with the department, but
left for another Federal agency
on March 20?
Under the Comptroller's ruling,
they point out, the girl cannot be
reimbursed by the Agriculture De-
partment for labors during Febru-
ary and March, because she was
not on the departments personnel
list on March 81.

sioners in a communication re-
ceived by the Senate District
Committee today.
The Commissioners pointed out
that when the parole law for the
District was enacted in 1882, it
was the intention to erect a
penitentiary on a portion of the
Lorton Reformatory site in which
to confine hardened criminals for
whom the conditions at the re.
formatory were unsuitable.
However, they added, due to
lack of funds, the penitentiary
project has been temporarily
abandoned and it may become
necessary to send to the Federal
penal institutions certain prison
ers convicted of crime here.
The proposed bill would give
the Federal Parole Board the
same power over these cases as
the local parole board has over
prisoners confined in the District.

ZON|NG PUZZLE
HITS INTERIOR
BU|LD|NGPLAN
Structure Already Five Feet
Above Limits, as Planners
Back Added Story

With plans for the proposed ad-
dition of one story to the Interior
Department Building already ap-
proved by the Fine Arts Commis-
sion and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
the department is now faced with
zoning trouble.
This was learned today when it
was revealed that the present
structure is already five feet above
the zoning height limit for that
area.
Under present Zoning regula-
tions the neighborhood surround
ing the Interior Building is linn
tied to structures not more than
80 feet high. The building, with
the cafeteria that now tops it,
stands 95 feet above F Street.
100 Feet Up Now
On E Street the building stands
more than 100 feet above the
ground because Of the grade be-
tween e and F Streets. Under the
zoning regulations, where a grade
is present at the site, builders are
permitted to go above the zone
limitation on the grade, but not
for more than a 1O0-foot depth.
The Interior Department Building
extends nearly 400 feet.
Officials hurried to explain to-
day that the structure was erected
In 1915 under the zoning regula-
tionS existing at that time, and
that there had been no violation.
None could explain, however, how
the cafeteria quarters were added
to the building several years after
the erection of the main structure,
when the present laws did exist.
Another official declared the
Federal Government was not
bound to obey the zoning laws;
that they affect only District or
private property.
- Protests Feared
It was also learned that a
plan had been suggested re-
Gently to have the zoning limita-
tionS for the neighborhood raised
to the 110-foot maximum. This
plan was dropped, it was
learned, because it was feared
the alteration would draw Wig
orous protests from neighbor.
hood property owners.
Meanwhile, according to Sec
retary Of the Interior Ickes,
plans for the structure will go
ahead, and the project, for
which PWA funds have been
allotted, probably will be started
within a few months.
Secretary Ickes said the plans
were being drawn so that it will
not be necessary to go above the
height at which the cafeteria
now stands. He said the plan
would entail only an enlarge
ment of the cafeteria floor to
cover the entire building. This
floor now occupies only half Of
the front wing.

ministration when it passed out

MEDICAL GROUP
TONIGHT HOLDS
DISCUSSION
Denies Dr.. FoWIer's Charge of
Seeking to Dust Him From
His Position

Complete reorganization Of the
District Health Department, with
transfer of control to the Pub
lie Health Service, is expected to
be urged by the District of Co.
lumbia Medical Society in the
near future. it was learned today.
So far the society has taken
no action on the matter, but it
is expected that it will be dis
cussed at a meeting of the group
at 8 o'clock tonight in it's head
quarters, 100 block M st. N. w.
Would Borrow Physician
Under the plan advocated by
many individual members of the
society, the District would follow
the lead of several states in OBJ
tanning the loan of a physician
from the United States Public
Health Service to head the local
Health Department.
The society today issued
statement in reply to charges
made yesterday by DR.. William C.
Fowler. District Health Officer,
that there was a movement on
foot to GUST him and turn the
duties of his department over to
Federal authorities. The state
ment asserts:
''The investigation of the sub
committee on tuberculosis of
the committee on Public Health
Of the Medical Society Of the
District of Columbia on the
facilities of the District Of Co.
lumbia for caring for the tuber-
culOSiS was initiated last July.
DENIES STARTING ACTION
"The Medical Society has
never had before it the question
of the advisability of a change
in the personnel or policy of
the Health Department. ANY
action that it may see fit to
take with respect to this matter
will be the result of, rather
than the cause of, its investiga-
tiOnS."
A committee of five members of
the society today called on Melvin
c. Hazen, president of the Board
of Commissioners, and Commits
sioner George E. Allen to discuss
the local tuberculosis situation.
On the committee were Drs.
Prentiss Wilson, John Minor, P.
A. McLendon, w. B. Tewkesbury
and Charles R. L. Holley. At the
conclusion of the conference the
physicians said they had urged
erection of an upto-date sani-
tarium for tuberculosis patients
here. The Commissioners were
sympathetic, they said, but
pointed out the lack of funds at
present.
Study Social Diseases
In addition to the study of the
tuberculosis situation, the med
ical society is studying the ques.
ton of social diseases here, the
committee members said, and
will report on it shortly.
The delegation also declared
that, although only 1888 cases of
tuberculosis were reported here
in 1888, it is estimated that there
were between $500 and $500
cases actually in the District,
excluding the Juvenile type"
which is not reportable here.
The discrepancy in records and
actual cases was accounted for
by lack of adequate follow-up
of contacts by the health depart
ment,"

The Indianapolis Life Insurance
Company 1860 North Meridian

legal reserve mutual company, with
the purpose of providing life and
endowment insurance at the lowest
cost consistent with safety, has more
than fulfilled every legal require
ment, officials state.
1t may be noted that an impor-
tant factor in the actual cost of in
surance is the mortality rate of a
company. a policyholder profits
from having his insurance with
company that has a low mortality
rate. The average actual to expected
mortality of life insurance compa-
MES is approximately go per cent,
but the average OF the Indianap-

been only ALL per cent.
The company has maintained a
splendid record even during depres-
sion years, the assets having in
creased every year, and from 1880
to 1884 they increased 271 per cent.
The Indianapolis Life operates
under the strict investment and

This law limits investments to

1893 that George Westinghouse

The lamps on display in the

There is the Grain of Wheat" lamp

Other lamps on display include
some of the newer designs which
have come into use only in the past

lamp which has no base and is used
for airway beacon lamps and spot
light projection lamps.
Also included in the group of

Supervision to Start;
Poor Get Meat.

Plans for relief to farmers in
drought-stricken areas are being
rushed to completion here, DR..
Clarence L. Elliott, local agricul-
tural department head, announced
today.
An extensive slaughtering pro-
gram will be carried on at the In
dianapohs stock yards. in which
more than 5000 head of cattle from
the stricken areas will be butchered.
Government officials have been
ordered to supervise the program
and make preparations to can the
meat, DR.. Elliott said. The meat
Will be used for poor relief pur-
poses.
AS the recent drought ravaged
grass lands and hay crops of the
middle west, much of the cattle
faced starvation until the govern
ment inaugurated its relief program,
he declared.
Although Indiana's hay crop suf-
fered severely from the suns scorch-
ing rays, cattle in this section as a
whole was spared, DR.. Elliott said.
Most of the cattle are being shipped
here from the Dakotas, Iowa and
Wisconsin.
Contracts have been let with
Kingan & Co. and Armour & Co. to
slaughter the cattle under govern
ment supervision.
