The statement, contained in a

for Tinkham.
In the circular. Bishop Cannon.

not gambling as he understood the
word. He captioned the statement,
"Unspotted From the World" with a
parenthetical explanation that this
was the title of an editorial blast
against him in the Richmond News

Cannon contended that buying and
selling stocks was not different from
buying and selling real estate or other
property, and pointed out that all
trading contains some element of

GIRL SEES FATHER

BY the Associated Press.

FREDERICK, Md. February L.
In the presence of his terrified a.
year-old daughter and an aged neigh
Dor who tried vainly to interfere,
Greenbury F. Grove, So, shot and
killed his estranged wife at her JET
ferson home today, then turned the
gun on himself and committed sui
eide
Grove was to have been cited for
contempt of court today for failure to
pay accumulated alimony and counsel
fees of S34, arising from a divorce suit
filed by Mrs. Grove october %.
George w. Fawley, 80, the neigh
bor, told Sheriff Roy M. Hiltner he
heard screams from the Grove home.
He went to the house and found Grove
struggling with his wife. She was at
tempting to keep a pistol away from
her husband, Fawley said.
Grove overpowered her and seized
the gun, despite the aged mans at
tempts to aid Mrs. Grove. The
daughter Edna, IA, stood few feet
from the scene screaming as Grove
fired twice into his wife's temple and
once into her neck.
Il saw that I'd better be getting out
of there" Fawley said. 1T would
have taken two or three men to stop
him"
As Fawley ran through the door,
Grove fired two bullets into his own
head, toppling to the floor few feet
from his wife's body.
Three other Grove children we're
away from home at the time. Har-
old. 8. left the house for school
few minutes before Grove arrived.
Charles, 16, and Richard, Is, both
were working in Frederick, about 8
miles from Jefferson.
Grove and his wife had lived apart
since the divorce suit was filed.
Neighbors told police Mrs. Grove kept
the house tightly locked, as a rule,
because she feared her husband might
harm her. The kitchen door was un-
locked today, however, Fawley told
the officers.
Fawley summoned Sheriff Hiltner,
Magistrate Walter Shinn, acting cor
oner, and States Attorney Sherman P.

Nevadan in Cheerful Mood
After Conference on
Measure.
PARLEY MAY RESULT
IN CHANGES IN BILL
Probationary Appointments Are
Suggested to Insure Eff
cheney.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.


There is strong likelihood that
Senator McCarran's bill providing
wholesale pay increases to Federal en-
ployes, particularly those in the lower
brackets, will receive administration
support.
This was the impression Of the Ne
vada Senator after a long conference
with President Roosevelt at the White
House today. While Senator McCar-
ran would not quote the President or
even directly commit him on the sub
Ject, the Senator left the White House
with the impression that the Presi-
! dent appeared to be favorably in
clined.
My ideas expressed in this pay
DILL Senator McCarran said as he
left the White House, seemed to
ind cooperative expression"
! There Is no doubling the fact the
NeVadan, who is laboring to bring
about more adequate pay for a large
number OF Government workers, left
the White House in happy frame Of
mind.
| CHdHScS fOreCaSt,
1t is thought likely that McCarran
may write some new ideas into the
Dill as result of his encouraging
conference at the White House to-
day.
He said that besides affording
adequate increases to the employees
in the lower pay brackets he wants
the bill to be the means of efecting
greater efficiency in the classified
service of the Government.
MY purpose will be to guarantee
efficiency" Senator McCarran ex-
planned. I'm the first place, when per-
sons are appointed to the classified
service after passing the necessary ex-
| animation, they will be given to UNDER
stand that they must keep on their
toes and maintain high efficiency
record and that because they have
once been appointed that does not
mean they are to be supported by the
| lives"
Senator McCarran suggested in this
connection something in the form Of
probationary appointments. In other
words, those appointed to the service
after taking examinations would have
to maintain certain degree of ef-
ficiency for a certain term of years
before getting out of the probationary
class.
Source of Idea.
While the Senator did not say so.
the impression was gained that this
idea was inspired as result OF his
talk with Mr.. Roosevelt today.
The pay increase bill Senator Nc
Carran has introduced provides for
minimum salary of $1,000 for Gov.
ernment employees. The greatest in
creaSeS in pay would be in that group.
For those getting more than $500.
increases up to $500 are provided,
but the upward revision is not quite
so liberal as for those now receiving
less than $500. The bill also pro-
vides for changing the method Of
arriving at efficiency ratings by abol-
ishing the present system and turn
ing the matter over to the Civil Serv-
Ice Commission.
