February 20 The bill to provide for vacations for Government employees and the bill to standardize sick leave and extend 1t to all Government employees,
 both of which passed the
 House on August 8, 1885,
 passed the Senate today with certain amendments.
 The bill providing Vaca-
 tions will become effective July l, 1886, as amended. Briefly this bill provides that employees of the Gov ernment generally shall be entitled to 26 days annual leave each calendar year, exclusive of Sundays and holidays. This leave may be accumulated through any number of years, not to exceed a total accumula- tion of 60 days in unused leave. Temporary employ ees, except those engaged on construction work at hourly rates, are entitled to this leave at the rate of two and one-half days per month.
 The bill standardizing sick leave provides for cum ulatiVe sick leave at the rate of one and one-fourth days per month. not exceed ing 60 days.
 Employees of the Post Office Department are ex- cluded from the provisions of both of the bills.
 These bills will probably not go to conference, for it is understood that the House members will insist upon a greater cumulative period than 60 days annual leave as provided by the Senate amendment.
 It is believed that during the week commencing Feb. l 24th, the House Committee on the Civil Service will | for hearings to be held on the bill introduced by Delegate Dimond au- thorizing retirement for em | ployees of the Alaska Rail- road on a basis similar to that provided for employ ees of the Panama Railroad Hearings on this bill have been delayed by the illness nf Chairman RannSneck

 ner Him on Story

] Trvington, N. J., May l3.--UP)-- Harold McduInneSS, l3, changed his mind about policemen today after they succeeded in getting him to confess his own Kidnapping. Yester- day he thought the police stupid be- cause they failed to rescue him. He also revised his opinion of the kid- naping business and willinglyy ad- mitted that "crime" doesn't pay. He found that . day and night of hid- ing in lonely shack brought only homesicknesS and hunger instead of the expected dramatic rescue.
 Disappeared Monday
 Harold disappeared Monday night from tho home of his uncle and aunt, MT. and Mrs. Edward F. Lapp. Just before midnight the boys uncle found . note in his mailbox demanding S20,0O0 in fives, tens and twos" for his safe return. Lapp notified police but was only nonin- ally worried because the ransom notes handwriting was familiar. He suspected that the boy might be his own abductor. The Would-be kid- naper of himself waited all night ill deserted shack near tho edge of of town. All day Tuesday he waited but no one found him. By c D. m, ho got hungry and decided that enough was enough. He btrollcd nonchalantly home to find the poe lice waiting for him there.
 CornOred by Police
 He told detailed story of two dark, mcnacing men" who grabbed him and rushed him away in car. He pointed to red wclts on hiS wrists. These he explained were the result of being bound with wire. "Oh ycahi" said Police Sergeant John Byrne when the boy finiShed. "Now tell us Harold what really hap. pencd." Confused by the failure of his story to impress tho police or his uncle and aunt, tho boy then confessed all.
