existing law has intensified such
criticism
The new system provides that in
addition to the specific controls for
printing and binding now vested in
the Joint Committee on Printing and
IN the Bureau of the Budget, the
Budget Bureau shall coordinate print
ing and processing generally in the
executive branch of the Government
by establishing uniform policies and
procedures consistent with law for the
efficient and economical utilization of
printing and processing. 1t is also
directed that a permanent inter-
departmental committee on printing
and processing be set up to advise
and to act with the Budget Bureau in
these matters. This committee will
be composed of departmental employees
and representative Of the Govern
ment Printing Office.
To Have Broad Authority.
Each department is to maintain
centralized service to act as a contact
between the bureaus, offices and serv-
Ices OF the department and the Gov
ernment Printing Office, the Bureau
OF the Budget and the Joint Commit
tee on Printing of Congress. This
service is to have broad authority:
l. review manuscripts proposed for
pupllcation in order to determine ca
whether under existing law and regu-
latlons they must be printed or may
be processed; (b) if processing is
legally permissible, whether in view of
the number of copies required or for
other reasons printing would be more
economical and efficient, and (c)
whether each manuscript warrants
the cost OF printing or processing.
2. 10 determine the frequency of
issue of periodicals, especially to re-
duce the frequency of issue to the
minimum required in meeting the
constructive purposes of such periodi-
Gals.
3. Eliminate from all manuscripts
submitted matter not necessary in
carrying out authorized functions.
4. Restrict the number of copies
Of publications printed or processed
to the minimum necessary in carry
ing out authorized functions.
S. Determine questions of distrib-
ution and especially to o-operate
with the superintendent of documents
in promoting the sale of publications.
Increased Sale Forecast.
co. Employ at least one person
trained and experienced in printing
and processing techniques to deal with
printing and processing problems and
to act as technical adviser.
As one feature of, the sales promo
ton drive it is proposed to place on
sale at ali post Offices postcards ad-
dressed to the superintendent of docu-
ments. On the reverse side is an order
blank for certain documents. These
cards would be of various colors for
the varying prices of the documents
to be ordered. These cards would be
sold for the price of the desired docu-
ment. All person would have to do
is affix a 1-cent stamp and in due
time receive the document. This
would be great convenience for the
public. 1t is estimated that this would
soon increase the sale of documents
several millions OF dollars annually.

CAROLINIAN HUNTED
AS SLAYER OF TWO
Armed Posse Surrounds Swamp
After Farm Owner and

LAKE CITY. S. c.. June 11.-An
armed posse of 200 men guarded a
swamp near here tonight, waiting for
hunger to drive out a colored share
cropper accused by Sheriff w. r. Wall
of Staying a white plantation owner
and colored woman who worked on
the farm.
Sheriff Wall said he believed the
fugitive, L. H Goodman. %, was
surrounded in the dense swamp, a mile
wide. Bloodhounds brought here from
Columbia. the State capital, failed to
pick up the trail.
Sheriff Wall said the colored wom-
an. Eloise Singletary, was shot to
death in a cornfield Thursday after
she had complained to the plantation
owner. 28-year-old Lewellyn Single
tary, that Goodman was not doing his
share of work.
A hunt began for Goodman, Sheriff
Wall said, and when Singletary en-
tered barn on the plantation late
yesterday, he was shot and killed. The
sheriff said Goodman was seen run

changes must be made there. 1t was
suggested that perhaps there might
be needed one tunnel under the line
OF K street, south of the library
property. and another under Mount
Vernon place, to the north. In future
years. still a third might be needed,
it was suggested, on the like of K
street proper, directly under the
library
X Street as Traffic Artery.
Commissioner Hazen offered still
another tentative plan, which he, him
self, called probably a wild idea"
1t was for development of K street
throughout as a traffic artery, with
the main roadway depressed some feet
below the level of the street proper.
While other District officials agree
with the main thought back of this
idea, they said they feared the cost
and the complications of handling un-
derground facilities, such as sewer and
water mains, would rule it out as i'm
practicable.
One other plan that is needed, Com
missioner Hazen said, is the widening
of Twenty-second street NV. from
Constitution avenue to Massa chusetts
avenue. He indicated he hoped for
action on this during the 1910 fiscal
year.
Thomas Circle Underpass.
In the District Appropriation Act
for the fiscal year beginning July
the District has funds for the con-
struction of vehicular underpass for
Thomas Circle. in the line of Massa-
chusetts avenue; and for the construc-
ton of traffic separation viaduct at
the Rock Greek and Potomac park
way and K street NV. The latter
could be tied in later with the pro-
posed bypass artery for Georgetown,
which might be built either on the
line of K street or over the Chesa-
| peake & Ohio Canal.
Congress has postponed final de-
cision on plans for constructing a We
hicular and street car underpass for
Dupont Circle, and for rearrangement
of traffic directional islands at Scott
Circle. but these plans are still in
the picture" so far as District officials
are concerned, though no new move
for their adoption may be made in the
1910 fiscal year fund requests.

roadway for the Rock Creek and Po-
tomac parkway, separated from the
existing roadway, at least all the way
to the District line from Massachu-
sets avenue. This would call for
either tunnel thoroughfare through
portion of the Zoo Park or the con-
struction of one-way roadway north
bound around the east side of the Zoo
Park
To this is added the suggestions of
Capt Whitehurst for construction of
grade separation structures at three
points OF intersection along Beach
drive in Rock Greek Park-at Tilden
street, Klingle and Military roads
These ideas are offered in response
to suggestions made more than a year
ago by Representative Collins, Demo-
crat. OF Mississippi for some kind of
new crossing for Rock Greek be-
tween Connecticut avenue and Six
teenth street. A high level bridge has
been studied. in theory, but District
officials are rather staggered by its
prospective cost.
Commissioner Hazen was struck by
the idea of grade separation structures,
from his view of what has been done
in that regard in Westchester Park in
New York. The opinion was voiced
by Capt. Whitehurst that such struc-
uhila ccr,yivo NJ
pose, can add materially to the beauty
Of section II properly designed.
Others Considered.
Other ideas are for the construction
of grade separation viaducts at New
York and Florida avenues NV. and
at the foot Of the hill on Thirteenth
street. on the line of Florida avenue.
Capt. Whitehurst also points to the
necessity of considering West Vir-
ginia avenue as a major artery into
downtown Washington. This street
indicated plans would be made in the
future to solve this problem.
Commissioner Hazen suggested for
consideration the tunneling of K street
under the main building OF the Free
Public Library, in Mount Vernon
Square. Traffic from four corners
now congests at that square, coming
from New York and Massachusetts
avenues. AS yet no engineering studies
have been made of this situation, but
District officials are agreed some

MAMMOTH CAVE. KY. June IL
Two University of Chicago psychol-

are living 28-hour day instead of
the normal "a, deep down in Mann
moth Cave.
There's no sunrise or sunset to
disturb them, no alternates of warmth
of sunshine and cool evening. for the
cave temperature never varies from
81 degrees. Everything else that they
can think of to make them forget
their 24-hour cycle habits has been
done.
DR.. Nathaniel Kleitman Of the de-
partmenS of psychology at Chicago

They may be four or five weeks

An essential feature of the "reor.
