LOST PAY OF 1,2OO
SOUGHT IN BILL
Appropriations Committee
to Weigh Amendment for
Patronage Victims.

An amendment to provide for the
1900 Treasury employees who have
been working without pay since De-
cember l because of a rider attached
to an appropriation act at the last
session, will be up for consideration
in the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee within few days.
The subcommittee in charge of the
Treasury-Post Office bill for the next
fiscal year will start executive hear
ings today, and will find awaiting its
attention a recommendation from the
Budget Bureau and the President that
authority to pay these workers be
placed in this bill.
Although technically the amount of
these salaries will have to be appro-
priated, the amendment will not in
crease the expenses of the depart
ment, because a comparable amount
has been left unused in the Treasury
as result of the rider which cut off
the pay of these workers in December
The rider which brought about the
present situation was sponsored by
Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, and was originally aimed at
about 700 prohibition agents who
were re-employed and transferred to
the Treasury Department after the
Prohibition Bureau of the Justice De-
partment was abolished Senator
McKellar questioned their civil serv-
ice status.
After the McKellar rider had been
adopted by Congress, the controller
generals Office ruled that it affected
not only the prohibition agents, but
a considerable number of other en-
ployes who had been transferred fol-
lowing the abolition of the Prohi-
bition Bureau.

SCHOOLS CONTROL
|. BY CITY HEADS HIT.
Preservation of System
From Political Influence
Urged by StuIl.

A call to preserve the District
school system from "the faintest
tinge of political domination" was
sounded by Harry N. Stull. chairman
of the Education Committee of the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
in radio address late yesterday
over station WJSV.
The talk was directed against pro-
visions of the proposed bill for an ex-
pansion of the Commissioners powers
which would give them authority to
direct or veto actions Of the Board
Of Education.
Opposition Unanimous.
"By unanimous consent all citizens
associations. trade bodies and teach
ers' organizations, and in fact all
groups of citizens who have given the
matter any thoughts have turned
thumbs down on the proposal Stull
said.
He questioned whether it would be
wise to give to politically appointed
Commissioners power to control
VIC oOdl0 VA
particularly teacher appointments and
text books. He stressed the point the
Commissioners are subject to patron
age pressure.
Give the Commissioners the re-
quested power and they will be i'm
portuned, not to say coerced, into
finding positions in the school system
for constituents of influential men,
bers of the National Legislature, :"
Stull said.
Patronage Annoys President.
mo less person than the President
OF the United States is said to have
been lately tremendously annoyed by
the pressure from Congress for
patronage dispensation. 1t is not
surprising. therefore, that those whom
he has appointed to Office find them
selves unable at times to say mo- TO
members of Congress who find them
selves in good position to successfully
exert such pressure"
The proposed bill still is under
study" by the Commissioners. but
Commissioner Hazen has declared he
is opposed to the section dealing with
the Board of Education and the Board
Of Library Trustees.

POLICE ASSAULT"
TESTIMONY ENDS
Arguments in Trial to Begin
Wednesday-U. S. At
torneys Mentioned.

Arguments in the trial of Police
men John I. Shotzberger and Ernest
T. Vessels of the sixth precinct
charged with assaulting Harrison NJ.
Fuller, BAL Ingrahan street, will be
heard Wednesday by Police Court
Judge John P. Mcmahon.
The two policemen, last witnesses
in the trial yesterday. charged that
Assistant United States Attorneys
Karl Kindleberger and Louis White
stone had refused to listen to their
side of the case when they went to
Police Court to obtain a warrant
charging Fuller with assaulting them.
The alleged assault took place Feb
ruary 20, when the two officers, ap-
parently mistakng Fuller for his
brother, arrested him.
Police Give Story.
Contradicting prosecution testimony
that Fuller had been struck by Shotz-
berger at three different places, the
policeman said the complainant had
been struck only once-by Vessels
after he had been placed under arrest
and was en- route to the station house.
According to Vessels, Fuller struck
him back-hand blow in the automo-
bile and he retaliated with punch,
which cut Fuller's lip and knocked
| out one natural tooth and a pivot
| tooth.
Shotzberger testified Fuller struck
him on the head in the alley in the
rear of the Fuller home while he was
attempting to place him under arrest,
thinking he was his brother. Allen,
against whom Vessels had park
ing warrant.
Both men also testified Harrison
threatened them with rock at Eighth
and Ingraham streets when they
caught him after he had escaped from
ShotZberger and that the latter
reached for his gun in demanding that
the rock be dropped. Harrison was
recalled to the stand and denied he
had ever had a rock in his hand.
Two more witnesses testified yes
terday that Fuller had struck the
first blow in the alley. They were
Erwin L. Russell, s2e Ingraham
street. and Henry E. Adams. 5000
Ninth street. Both said they saw
Harrison strike ShotZberger and
knock his hat off.
Voluntary Witness.
Michael C. Van Horn, TIA Kennedy
street, appeared as voluntary wit
ness. After reading of the case in
the newspapers, he said, he decided to
tell how Harrison rounded corner
during the chase and when in front
of Van Horns automobile, leaned up
against it and sked for aid. When
asked what the trouble was, Van Horn
said, Harrison replied that he had
hit the law" and "they have no
business asking me my name" Van
Horn said he observed the proceeding
at the patrol box and that Harrison
threw himself to the sidewalk, instead
of being knocked down. The police
testimony was to the same effect.
Most of the other witnesses yes
terday. the third day of the trial, were
policemen attached to the sixth pre-
cinct, all of whom testified as to
occurrences in the station house after
Harrison was brought in. followed in
10 minutes by his brother Allen, who
posted IS collateral on the parking
warrant.

HISTORIC HEAT A v

TUNE. 1920 In the city Of Chicago
- for six days the temperature had
been above 80 degrees. . Delegates to
the Republican national convention
had sweltered through those six days
with nerves worn to a FRAGILE. There
was a deadlock between the two lead
ing candidates. Gov. Frank o. Lowden
and Gen. Leonard Wood.
Then the Senatorial Group" which
had engineered the deadlock. got busy
and offered for a compromise candi-
date, Senator Warren G. Harding of
Ohio. The hot. weary convention was
ready to take anybody. so enough
votes were switched to Harding to in
sure his nomination.
Next a candidate for Vice President
had to be chosen. The Senatorial
Group had planned to give this honor
to Senator Irvine L. Lenroot Of Wis
ionsin-thus making 1t an all-sena-
toriai ticket. But there was an un-
tooked-for interruption to their steam
roller plan. Medill Mccormick Of Iii.
nois was making the speech for Len
root when. from the floor of the con
vention hall, Wallace McCamant. a
delegate from Oregon. leaped to his
feet.
He called out, I'VE want Coolidge!
We want Coolidge! !" Others took up
the cry. When Mccormick finished
his speech and turned to leave the
platform, McCamant shouted. II NOM
inate Gov. Calvin Coolidge of Massa-
chusetts for Vice President
The stampede was under way. The
perspiring delegates. disguised with
the Senatorial Group" for the deadlock
which had kept them sweltering for
nearly a week In expensive hotels, saw
q chance to retaliate. The engineers
Of the steam roller could not crush the
uprising and Coolidge was nominated.

became President. And the nan who
was sent to the White House by a
heat-wave was reelected with help Of

PocKETFUL OF DESTINY

IT WAS the night Of December 25.
L 1776. In the home Of the Tory, Mr..
Hunt, in Trenton. N J.. Col. Johann
Gottlieb Rail and mis- Hessian officers
were celebrating Christmas with much
song and good cheer, the latter poured
from tall bottles. A Tory named Wall
knocked on the door. On the Pennsyl-
vania side Of the delaware river he
had seen Gen. tisOrge W%ashington's
rebel army launching boats in the
ice-choked stream.
Denied admittance by Rails negro
slave, the Terry hastily scrubbed a note
Of warning. The bleary-eyed colonel
glanced at the scrap Of paper aud saw
It was written in Englist. he would
ask Mr.. Hunt to read it TO him later.
So he stuffed It into his wdistcoat pock
ct When he stumbled away at dawn,
the forgotten message was still unread.
Three hours later Washington and
bis Continentals stormed into Trenton:
The sleepy, liquor-5efuddled Rail tried
to rally his Hessians to stem the on
slaught. But 1t vas in vain. He went
down with two bullets In his body.
They carried him into a church and
laid him on a bench to die.
Out of his pocket fell a scrap of

in major provisions, Parker made the
alterations. When the Senate COM
mittee Jumped through the hoop"
and changed its mind on some i'm
portant sections, Parker was forced to
go around to the other side of the
hoop and make the desired altera-
tions.
Then the bill came to the Senate
floor and Parker became Senator"
Parker and sat at the right hand OF
Senator Harrison. who is father-al-
mighty of tax bills in the current
Senate. As Senator Harrison ex-
planned the tax bill to the Senate, he
conferred frequently with Senator"
Parker.
Helps La Toilette.
The next shift was to the other
side of the chamber where Senator"
Parker turned from Democrat to Pro-
gresSive in order to help Senator La
Toilette, Wisconsin Progressive, in
presenting some amendments which
would materially revise the bill which
Senator" Parker, Democrat, had
just helped Senator Harrison explain.
At the present time. Parker is serv-
ing as member of all parties while
attempting to help House and Senate
conferees agree on their differences.
Through 1t all, strangely enough, in
this year and others. Parker retains
his own views of what a tax bill
should contain and preserves his nor
NAL good temper and agreeable dis
position while drafting bills that con-
tain everything else but what he
thinks should be included.
Before assuming the position of
chief of staff of the Joint Committee,
Parker had been active in privat tax
cases and had been appointed on the
Congressional Committee making a
survey of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau policies in 1924
Aside from helping to draft revenue
bills, Parker and his staff perform
other services more than worthy of a
story of their own. Suffice it to say
now that they have made and pub
lished exhaustive reports on all forms
Of taxation. Federal, State and local,
together with comparisons of similar
levies in other countries.
