A final effort to have the Senate ap- propriations committee discharged from further consideration of the re- port of the joint rec fication com- mafission and the Jones bill for the reolassification of government em ployes was made in the Senate last night by Senator Sterling of South Dakota, but without avail. | He sought to have the report and bill taken from the appropriations| committee and referred to the com- mittee on civil service, of which Sena- tor Sterling is chairman, on the ground that reclassification is a leg- islative matter and does not properly belong to the committee on appro- priations. At the conclusion of the debate on Senator Sterling’s motion to discharge the committee. a viva voce vote was | taken, and the “noes” were over- whelming. Senator Sterling called attention to the fact that the report had been be- fore the appropriations committee for a year without anything having been done. n the shippe i Replying, Senator Smoot of Utah, a member of the appropriations com- mittee, insisted that that committee had obtained valuable data relating to the salaries of the government em- ployes. He predicted that reclassifica- tion would be undertaken by the com- mittee in the next Congress and put | through. WOMAN ARRESTS CONVICT. ORANGE, Va, March 4.—Single- nanded and unafraid, Mrs. B. H.
