jurieS and fractured arm, Mrs.
Eigenbrode suffered injuries to her
knee, ribs and ankle and cuts on
the face and hands, and Mr.. Eigen-
brode suffered a fractured jaw and
knee injuries.
Collide Near Laurel.
Mr. Linden was driving toward
Baltimore and the Eigenbrode ma
chine was en- route to Washington
when the cars met in a collision
about 3 miles south of Laurel.
The Branchville and BladenSburg
fire rescue squads took Miss Linden
to Emergency Hospital, where her
conditions was said to be unde-
termined today, and Mr. and Mrs.
Eigenbrode to Casualty Hospital,
where they were said to be not
serious.
A few minutes after the accident,
LYMAN j. Schwartzman, 5144
Nebraska avenue NV, Mr.. Linden's
brother in-law, passed the scene
while driving from Baltimore. He
saw the wrecked automobiles and
the covered body lying at the edge
of the road, and said he stopped his
car for a few moments, but then
continued on without getting out of
his machine.
He had driven but a short way,
Mr.. SchWartzman added, when he
was seized by the feeling that he
should return to the wreck and again
he stopped After celebrating
few moments, however, he continued
on to his home in Washington and
it was not until two hours later that
he learned of his relatives death.
Mr. Linden is survived, besides
his daughter, by son, Daniel Lin
den, also of the Davis place address.
The son was to have accompanied
him to Baltimore yesterday, but
later changed his plans and drove
on ahead in his own automobile.
80 Accidents Here.
A near record for accidents in a
24-hour period in the District was
established between am. Tuesday
and am. Wednesday, the police
accident prevention unit revealed
today.
There we're 80 accidents reported
in the city during that time, in
which 20 persons were injured. The
normal accident rate is between 80
and IS.
The rain, which made streets
slippery and visibility poor, was
blamed by police. The accident
squad investigated slightly more
than half of the crashes and made
IS arrests.

Man After Car
Hits Bicycle

A mail truck driver this morn
ing captured and held for police a
man-later charged with drunken
driving-whose automobile struck a
10-year-old bicyclist.
The mail truck driver was Earl

who was in the vicinity, and the
driver was taken to the 9Th pre-
cinct, where charges of driving
while drunk were placed against
him. The driver gave his name
as James L. Taylor, So. of the 500
block of Tenth street NE. and
said he was q paperhanger.
The boy escaped without injury.
He gave his name as Nicholas
Egoroff of Bill oliver street NV.

|Fingerprinting
| Provided Under
| Romspeck Bill

Memories Of an ancient job-sell-
ing scandal which brought prison
terms or fines to more than dozen
men were revived yesterday when
the conferees on the Ramspeck
civil service extension bill approved
a Senate amendment to substitute
fingerprints for photographs to
identify applicants for Federal en-
ployment.
The Civil Service Commission in
stituted the photograph system
about a quarter of century ago,
when it developed that mid
Western member of the House was
selling rural carrier appointments,
and to make sure that all who paid
got on the pay roll, employed the
same agent" to undergo the exami-
nation in each instance.
Eventually there was a slip-up;
the perennial examination taker
failed. and the client in whose
behalf he was working, disappointed,
reported the matter to the Civil
Service Commission.
An investigation conducted by
Henry Hesse, who retired in recent
years as head of the commissions
Division Of Investigations, disclosed
the plot and the prosecutions re-
suited. The House member escaped
punishment, but other parties were
not so lucky. and the commission
adopted the photograph check.
Fingerprinting has been used in
the Government for number of
years, but solely to uncover possible
criminal background.
In offering the amendment to
rule out photographs, Senator
Minton, Democrat, of Indiana said
they permitted racial discrimination
by appointing officers.

A. F. Of |. Picketinq
Halls Work on New
Deeds Building
Protests Are Lodged
Against Contractors
Tie-up With c. |. o.

American Federation of Labor rep
resentatives today picketed the site
of the Recorder of Deeds Building,
Sixth and D streets NV, where
ground was broken a week ago by
President Roosevelt, and the work
of excavation was at a standstill as
a result of A. F. L. protests against
the employment of union men of
their faction on job whose general
contractor has an agreement with
the c. I. o.
Sam Merando, the general con-
tractor for the buildings foundation,
sublet the excavation work to the
Atlas Crane & Excavation Co., of
which William Pacho is president
His excavation shovels are operated
by A. F. L. men, and the trucks
which carry away the dirt are driven
by A. F. L. men. Except for the
ceremonious scoopful dug from the
site for the President, Mr.. Pacho was
forbidden, he told Mr.. Merando, by
the A. F. L. to dig any further.
The contract which Mr. Merando
has with the C. I. o. permits him
to use any sort of union labor for
those parts of the job which the c.
l. o. is not equipped to do. His sub
contract with Mr.. Pacho stipulates
union" men, he said. The Office of
John Locher, president of the A. F.
L. District Building Trades Council,
said that the A. F. L. eXcavating
steam shovel was ordered off the
job because of the general contrac-
tors C. L o. Civilization.
When the Atlas shovel was with
drawn a shovel owned by E. T.
Johnson was put on the job. This
shovers work was halted, however,
after three days, because neither
Mr.. johnson nor his men could pro-
duce union cards or a card for the
work from the United States En-
ployment Service. Municipal build
ing contracts require the use of
union labor or labor approved by
the employment service.
Mr.. Merando said that since he
has a contract with Mr.. Pacho, he
intends to insist on the Atlas Co.'S
going ahead with the work. the
general contract requires completion
of the excavation by October q.
Capt. John L. Persons, director Of
construction work for the District,
said the Recorder of Deeds Building
is the first District building contract
to be let to the c. I. o.

Pun-Americun Board
Acts on Minor Questions

With Secretary of State Hull pre-
siding, the Pan-American Union
governing board yesterday acted on
three of the relatively minor ques-
tons referred to it by the recent
American foreign ministers meeting
at Havana.
The questions related to assist
ence to refugees and minors, CO.
operation between Pan-American in
situations and peaceful solution of
conflicts. The governing board ap-
proved mechanisms for acting on
these problems and acquainted the
American governments with their
decisions.

ing at the w. P. A., bars salary pay
ments to civil service personnel,
and civil service authorities believe
this prescription would apply to
large groups of workers in General
Accounting Office and Treasury
among others, whose pay comes
from this source.
Revenue Deputies Included.
The conferees, however, approved
civil service for about 5000 deputy
collectors of internal revenue, and
deputy United States marshals, but
excluded assistant United States
attorneys. The deputy collectors
formerly were under civil service
but were removed in the Wilson
administration; the assistant United
States attorneys heretofore could
have been brought under civil serv-
ice by executive order. The Senate
proposed to keep these three classes
outside
AS the result of vigorous repre-
sensations by Senator Norris, indie
pendent. of Nebraska, father" of
the T. V. A, employees of the author
ity were excluded from the bill, as
we're appointees of the President
who are confirmed by the Senate.
The conferees agreed to the Sem
ate action in striking out the House
provision in the bill to withhold its
benefits from employees hailing from
States having more than their quota
of positions in the apportioned serv-
ice. At present, this ban would have
caught II States and the District
of Columbia, while seven other
States are at point where the ad-
dition of two to half dozen posi-
tions would put them in the same
predicament. Efficiency rating re-
view machinery, with employee
representation, also is provided.
The apportionment amendment
was sponsored by Representatives
Nichols of Oklahoma and Keller of
Illinois, Democrats, and was ex-
pected to stir debate when the bill
is taken up by the House. Sup
porters of the measure, however, are
not anticipating serious trouble from
this quarter.
The classification Act extension
will reach thousands of field posi-
tions both in and out of Washing
ton, at the discretion of the Presi-
dent, but will not affect groups Of
employees whose pay is fixed by spe-
cial acts of Congress. While it is
designed as a pay-raising measure
which has been estimated to add as
much as s1O,OO0,000 to the annual
pay roll, it is expected to result in
reductions in some instances where
employees now receive more than
their positions will rate when CLASH
fled.
Several important miscellaneous
provisions also are included in the
bill. Fingerprints will be substi-
tuted for photographs as a medium
of Identification for appointees, and
the pay of civil service commits
sioners will be raised from $500
to $4,000, to conform to the rate
applying generally to other COM
missions.
The conferees, however, knocked
out a Senate amendment to with
hold the pay of appointing officers
who reputedly discriminate against
applicants because Of their scholastic
background.

House District Unit
May Meet Soon on
Boundary Dispute
Subcommittee Fails to
Voice Opinion After
Amendment Protests
BY JAMES E. CHM.

Chairman Randolph may call the
House District Committee into
special session next week to chart
the fate of his bill to fix a new
boundary between the District ana
Virginia.
A subcommittee to which the
measure was referred refused to
give it a stamp of approval but
instead of consigning it to a pigeon
hole, decided to return it to the full
committee without recommendation
The request for a special meet
ing of the full committee for con-
sideration of the bill is expected
to be made by Representative
Nichols, Democrat, of Oklahoma,
who is seeking to have it amended
so the new Washington National
Airport would be located in the
District instead of in Virginia.
To See Randolph.
Il am going to confer with Chair
man Randolph at the first oppor-
tunlty over what further steps
should be taken" said Mr. Nichols.
He may decide to call a special
meeting of the committee so that
definite action can be taken on the
boundary bill in the near future
Representative Randolph, how
ever, is in his home town of Elkins,
w. Va, taking part in the 18th
annual State forest festival, and
will not return to Washington until
Monday.
The subcommittee decision to
return the bill to the full commit
tee without recommendation was
announced by Subcommittee Chair
man Hunter at the conclusion yes
terday afternoon of a public hear
ing at which Virginia officials reg
istered vigorous protest against the
proposed amendment of Mr.. Nichols
that would place the entire area
of the airport in the District. A
part of the airport-that portion
filled in from dredgings from the
Potomac-is now located in the
District. The remainder is in Vir-
ginia
The Randolph bill, which would
fix the new boundary at the present
mean highwater mark on the Vir-
ginia side of the Potomac. would
place the airport entirely in that
State.
Protest Revenue Loss.
The Virginia officials charged that
location of the airport in the Dis
trict would deprive the State of
thousands of dollars a year in tax
revenues.
Mr.. Hunter pointed out failure of
his group to approve the bill did
not necessarily mean its death.
In view of the circumstances,
he said, "the subcommittee could do
nothing but report the bill back to
the full committee without recon-
mendation."
After listening to arguments for
and against the amendment that
would locate the airport in the Dis
trict, Mr.. Nichols said:
Il can't see any valid reason why
the airport should not be in the
District. Of course, Virginia might
lose some revenue, but the airport
was built for the Nation and it
should be located in the Nations
Capital"
Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia headed the delegation
that objected to the proposed
Nichols amendment. He was sup
ported by John Munce, jr., auditor
of the division of motor vehicles of
Virginia; D. Gardner Tyler, jr., as
sistant attorney general of the State;
Lawrence Douglas, commonwealth
attorney of Arlington County, and
Thomas S. Settle, secretary of the
National Capital Park and Planning

Alienation Charge Denied
By Representative Hook

Charges made against him in
$4,000 alterations of affections suit
were denied in District Court yester-
day by Representative Frank E. Hook
of Michigan. Mr.. Hook was sued
August 80 by Earl D. Griffin, w.
P. A clerk, who told the court the
Representative carried on a secret
correspondence with his wife, Mrs.
Helen M. Griffin, now an employe in
the office of Representative McArdle
OF Pennsylvania
In his answer to the suit, Mr. Hook
was represented by Attorney Francis
j. Kelly. Attorney Dorsey K. Offutt,
who represented the plaintiff, said
Mrs. Griffin once was employed in
Mr.. Hooks office.
