Civil Service Revision
To Alter U. S. Setup

Legislation with a direct effect
on Government employees is like
ly to be one Of the outstanding
accomplishments of the special
session which started yesterday.
The lives and incomes of ap-
proximately 100000 Federal work.
ers in the District, and hundreds
of thousands outside the city, are
involved in three legislative pro-
posals due for early consideration
on Capitol Hill.
REORGANIZATION FIRST
These are: /. Reorganization
proposals, with direct effect on
many jobs, and with incidental
effect, because of the Presidents
inSiStence that the merit system
be extended upward, outward
and downWerd to cover practically
all non-policy determining posts"
2. Retirement legislation, which
would liberalize provisions for re-
tirement by making optional with
the employe and with the Govern.
ment earlier retirement than is
now possible.
8. Bills which would set a
minimum wage in the Govern
ment service and which would
provide for slight increases for
employees in the lower brackets.
TWO PLANS PASS HOUSE
According to all indications
available today, the reorganiza-
ton proposals of the President
will be the first general legisla-
tion to be considered.
Already the House has passed
two bills which carry out some of
the Presidents minor reorganiza.
ton proposals and these are now
awaiting Senate action.

PROFITEERING IN
AUTO PARK LOTS
Kneipp Says Snow Ban
Rule Requires Action

Automobile club officials and
others Of authority on traffic
regulation in the District, today
greeted with mingled reactions
the decision of the District Court
Of Appeals in upholding the Com
missioners' "snow removal" park
ing ban, which was declared in
valid last winter in a Police Court
test case.
The higher courts decision,
handed down yesterday by Judge
D. Lawrence Groner, retnforces
the Commissioners regulation,
which forbade parking on certain
streets between 2 a. m. and 8 a. m,
from December is to March Is.
Although little objection was
expressed to the regulation, Judge
-Groner's prediction, "the time
may be soon at hand when it will
be necessary to forbid altogether
the garaging Of vehicles on the
main highways at any time" "
called forth more pertinent COM
ment.
KENEIPP COMMENTS
George E. Keneipp, manager OF
the District branch Of the Key
stone Automobile Club, dismissed
the decision with the observation
that it "will undoubtedly incon-
venience many thousands Of mo-
torists," but, regarding the implt-
cations Of the decision, had this
to say:
IT think it imposes a new re-
sponsibility on the Commission
ers to do everything in their
power to prevent profiteer1ng
and graft on the part OF park
ing lot operators and garage
owners at the expense of mo-
torists who will now be placed
at their mercy in many parts
of the city"
Keneipp declared that during
the time the ban was in effect,
members of the club remarked
Cnat Gney are Wl1l411S W SOAAPAJ
with the regulation if other park
ing facilities were made available
So far, Kneipp said, the Commls
sioners have done nothing to en-
courage such facilities at reason
able rates.
CRAWFORD APPROVES
Col, Lawrence C. Crawford,
chairman of the traffic committee
of the Washington Board Of Trade,
declared:
"The upholding Of the emer.
gency regulation is good thing.
It permits through streets to be
cleared and benefits many thou
sands of people who must come
downtown in heavy Snowstorms
It is a question of the greatest
good for the greatest number.
"But, I don't feel it will ever
be practicable for the Commis-
sioners to prohibit overnight
parking altogether, because, for
many years, District building
regulations did not permit the
construction of houses with
built-in garages and, as a result,
the city does not have normal
garage facilities"

Authoritative indications tonight

when normal political activity is re-

On all handS-in the cabinet, the

ROADS FIGHTING
FOR HAUL REPEAL
House Committee Told e.
feCtS of Clause Under Bus
and Ship Competition.
By the Associated Press.

ID lAS hSsoCldlcQ FTtSS.
The Nations transportation systems
are waging a battle in a small room
here for what each declares to be its
very existence.
Because Of the technical nature of
the contest it is drawing little atten-
ton. Stripped of its complexities, the
fight is something like this:
On one side are the railroads
Opposing them are the motor carriers
and ships that operate along the
coasts, through the Panama Canal
and on navigable streams.
The argument is being waged before
the House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee over a section of the interstate
commerce act regulating railroads.
Called the ''long-and-Short-hau
clause, it prohibits the charging of
lower rates for long hauls than for
shorter ones on the same route in the
same direction.
Roads Urging Repeal.
The rail lines are urging the COM
mittee to approve a bill to repeal the
SlduSS. opPOolllB OdlIlCLo d1C plSd0-
Ing for the bills defeat.
The railroads say they have lost
virtually all the tranScontinental and
other traffic accessible to water trans
portation and motor carriers because
they have been "handcuffed" by regu-
lations not imposed on their compet-
itors.
They say their inability to compete
on IAN equal footing is not only ruin
ing them financially but is depriving
inland manufacturers and distributors
of the opportunity Of meeting compe-
tition of similar concerns having
water transportation available.
The water lines reply:
Repeal of the clause would put the
railroads in a position to conduct rate
wars and drive competing boats off
the waters and trucks from the high
ways. The Nations merchant marine
would be destroyed
Rates Below Cost.
The water lines and groups ofinland
shippers who have joined them in the
legislative fight contend railroads, in
order to win all the traffic, would cut
rates to competitive points below cost,
make inland points pay the bill
through higher rates and thereby
bring economic stagnation to towns
and cities not on waterways or the
coast
Joseph B. Eastman, member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, told
the committee repeal of the clause
would be 'reversion to the jungle"
The committee will decide next
week whether to urge the House to
repeal the provision.

JURY DISREGARDS
AUTOPSY REPORT
Charges Two With Poisoning, De-
spite Doctors Failure to
Find Drug.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ONEIDA, Tenn, February 13.-Dis-
regarding an autopSist'S report that
evidence of poison was lacking. a
coroner's jury charged today that
Henry Terry, middle-aged railroad
engineer, was fatally poisoned by his
wife and son-in-law.
DR.. Ralph Monger of Knoxville.
who performed the autopsy, said that
no trace of poison was found in
Terrys body and added that while
he was unable to state the exact
cause of the engineers death, poison
ing had nothing to do with it.
Terry's body was exhumed last
Monday at the request of three
brothers, who told Coroner w. M.
Todd he died January 18 under cir
cumstances which caused them to be-
come suspicious.
Counsel for the widow. Mrs. Cinda
Terry, 81. and the son-in-law, Her
man Millican, 35, agreed to waive
preliminary hearing and the two were
released under $4,000 bond for ap-
pearance before the March grand
jury.
Mrs. Shirley Cody, vivacious IT.
year-old housekeeper for the Milli-
cans. remained in jail on an acces-
sorry charge when she could not meet
bond of $3.50.
Mrs. Cody testified she had pur-
chased poison from a druggist at the
request Of Mrs. Terry. Several per-
sons testified Mr.. and Mrs. Terry
had had family difficulties.

FARM COMMODITY
LOANS COLLECTED
Hoover Administration 0p-
erati0nS Now Practically
Liquidated.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Government authorities disclosed
last night that almost all of the COM
modities acquired through operations
of the Hoover administrations Farm
Board have been liquidated.
Likewise, commitments still on the
books of the Farm Credit Admins
tration, the Federal Surplus Com
modities Corp. and the Commodity
Credit Corp. were shown to be rela-
lively small
The Farm Boards wheat purchases,
totaling 908,615. .449 bushels of spot
and futures holdings from 1880 to
March, 1898, have disappeared. With
the exception of 85000,000 bushels
donated to the Red Cross, they were
sold on the open market.
During its life the board financed
the removal from the market of nearly
3,500,000 bales Of cotton. The Red
Cross received 800 900 bales and the
remainder was sold, excepting 474 900
bales turned over to the Secretary OF
Agriculture in 1884
First Roosevelt Term.
In President Roosevelt's first term
commoditions were acquired for the
most part in the form Of collateral
on loans to producers by the Com
modify Credit Corp.
Under its bylaws the corporation
was permitted to make loans only
upon such commodities as from time
to time were designated by the PreSi-
dent officials said the purpose was
to support farm prices and enable
owners to retain title to products
which otherwise might have been
dumped upon the market with price
depressing effects.
The largest operations were in
cotton. In 1888 the Government
lent farmers, at 10 cents pound. a
total of SOS, ,498,4 ,49l on l 1925. 1877 bales.
All of these loans have been repaid.
Cotton loans in 1884, at II cents a
pound, totaled $282, ,643, ,977 on 4,63l,-
$40 bales. Loans have been repaid
on all except 2,994.l87 bales, in which
the Government has a stake of $202,-
736,794.
In 1885 the Government loan on
cotton was returned to the l0-cent
basis and amounted to S3,028, ,269 ad-
vanced on 59,277 bales, of which the
Commodity Credit Corp. still holds
26,120 for an aggregate producers
debt of s1,3O3, ,466.
1885 Loans Repaid.
The 1856 loans of As cents a
bushel amounted to S13,933, 900 on
30.966, 900 bushels. All have been re-
paid, excepting $2,808 on 1l,5l1 bush
els.
Disposing of 2157,s44 hides and
skins obtained through the purchase
of drought-stricKen cattle in 1884
proved one Of the Governments tough
est marketing problems. Sales were
staggered to prevent price depression.
Official figures show 1,545 ,288 hides
and skins sold for total of S4.688,-
487, with the Government still hold
ing 612,656. Authorities said 100000
hioes and skins would be offered for
sale during February.
Canned beef obtained in the
slaughter of drought cattle from Oc-
tober, 1884, through December, 1896,
amounted to 30,351 .O03 pounds. All
OF it. save 12,594,7l4 pounds now in

relief.
Fresh and boned beef, similarly
obtained, totaIed 55,331,47O pounds,
of which but 1922 pounds remain in

Mount Ararat

Mount Ararat is a twin-peaked
mountainous area situated where
Armenia and Persia meet, south of
the Caucasus range. 1t is note
worthy for its extensiveness rather
than its height, the highest peak
being something under 1900 feet.
TIE mountain is of volcanic origin.
Its lower regions are inhabited and
the SUBMITS have been repeatedly
assembled and thoroughly explored.
The statement that Noah's ark rest
ed on Mount Ararat has no founda-
ton in the Hebrew text, which
reads that ''the ark rested on
the mountains of Ararat," says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. In ancient
times Ararat was the name of a dis
trict in eastern Armenia, and some
times also for all Armenia and the
mountainous ridge in the southern
part of that country.
