Frank R. Hopkins Robbed of $64. Another Loss Reported. Frank R. Hopkins, twenty-two years old, 501 18th street northeast, was held up for the fourth time in a month at 16th and Gales streets north- east about 12:40 o'clock this morning, the money taken from him amounting to $64, representing part of his pay as an employe of the bureau of en- graving and printing. On each of the other occasions, Hopkins stated, only small sums of money were taken from him, and he was not hurt. This morning, how- ever, two colored men attacked him and knocked him down. His eye- glasses were broken and his eve cut. He was given first aid at Casualty Hospital. Jefferson J. Winston, 116 Howard road, Hillsdale; reported that an un- identified individual entered his room with a duplicate key last night and stole $70 from his trousers pocket. Mrs. Anna Buccalo, 623 C street southeast, told the police that an un- successful attempt was made to snatch her pocketbook while she was near 11th street and Pennsylvania avenue southeast last night about 7:30 o'clock. The attempt, she said. was made by two white men, one wearing the uniform of a soldier. ASKS ABSOLUTE DIVORCE. Harriett A.

FEAR LOWER COSTS MAY HITU.S. CLERKS Price Question Possible Fac- tor in Consideration of Salary Reclassification. _ Fear that month-by-month reduction in the cost of living might finally de- ter Congress from any action what- ever on the reclassification of gov- ernment employes' salaries was ex- pressed in federal circles today fol- lowing the postponement yesterday of reclassification hearings from this session to next. Discussion of the postponement re- solved itself into two groups, one group fearing the outcome of such delay and the other saying that post- ponement of action could have no 1ll effect. Prominent among the fears of the former class was that of the reduced cost of living, it being felt that as the cost of living reduced,.and still no action on reclassification, members of Congress may finally decide that no action is necessary. i g Tt has been hinted at various times from the “hill” that perhaps the re- duced cost of living would finally bring matters to the place where the old salaries of government workers would be in some sense adequate—at least as adequate as they have ever been. It has been felt that if this could be patently demonstrated to Congress there would be many members who would be against an increase in sal- aries for government workers, al- though they still would favor proper readjustments and equalizations of Q 1salaries. Action of Congress along any lines as to salaries of any workers of the government, high or low, will be watched by'those in favor of reclassi- fication. in order that the reduced- cost-of-living fear shall not mflitate unjustly against proper reclassifica- DIPLOMAS PRESENTED TO 17 GRADUATES Midyear Commencement Exercises at O Street Junior High School.

Warning against a new counterfeit of a twenty-dollar note on the federal reserve bank of Chicago has been sent out by the secret service of the Treas- ury Department. The counterfeit is from plates made by a photographic process, and the, paper is a single sheet of fair quality, without any imitation of the silk fiber. The portrait of Cleveland is the most notable defect, lacking the light-and- shade effects of the genuine, and many of the fine engraved lines are omitted from the face. The number of the specimens so far reported is G20999881A, and this probably is on all of the spurious issue, as the fig- ures are in black instead of blue. and appear to have been a part of the plate. inside of them. pending. that.
