Storm Sweeping Up Atlantic Spells Doom to Vessel Off Vir- ginia, Capes. NORFOLK, Va., October 26.—Two men were lost and thirty-four others had a narrow escape oft Thimble Shoals lighthouse last night, when the fishing schooner Margaret cap- sized. The vessel, which was coming in from the fishing grounds, was caught in the teeth of the storm sweeping up the Atlantic coast., The captain and crew put off in the small boats, the two men lost being in a rowboat alone. The others were in two larger craft, and rowed through the night to Old Point Com- fort, where they landed. Great diffi- culty was experienced in making shore, due to the high winds,which increased during the night. The men missing are Ivis Webb, white, of Reedsville, Va., and Bib Taylor, negro, of Mila, Va." The Mar- garet was owned by the Duglas Company of Reedsville and was in command of Capt. R. R. Walier of Fleeton. Her pilot was Capt. John Pittman” of Remo. Capt. Waller, who arrived in Norfolk with the survivors this morning, said he did_not believe the small boat in which Webb and Taylor put off could have survived the storm and he he-, lieves they were drowned. WALSH PROPOSES PROBATE COURT JUDGE AND REGISTRAR FOR DISTRICT Proposal to _establish a probate court for -the District of Columbia and relieve the Supreme Court of all jurisdiction in probate matters was made in a bill introduced today by Representative Joseph Walsh of Massachusetts, a member of the House judiciary committee. The Walsh bill provides for ap- pointment of a judge and registrar of probate for the District of Colum- bia, 1t permits appeals to the Court of Appeals. It transfers jurisdiction under the District code in all probate matters from ihe District Supreme Court to the District probate court. The Walsh bill provides for ap- pointment of a judge by the Presi- dent, with the advice and consent of 1 the Senate, the judge to receive a salary of $5,000 and the registrar of probate to receive $3,000. Tt turns over the office of register of wills to the register of probate, abolishing the office of register of wills. 1t requires the chief justice of the Supreme Court to assign_ courtroom and office to the new probate court. Provision is made that the bill shall take effect on the first day of the third month next following its ap- proval. Representative Walsh also intro- duced a bill for the appointment of twenty-one additional district court judges throughout the country to re- lieve the congestion in the federal courts, where a recent report by the Department of Ju e shows that theee wie 118,000 cuses pending.

Defends Work of Bureau. “On the contrary, it has only exe cised its powers with the fullest co operation of the executive depart- ments. It wouid be stupid for the bureau to attempt to do otherwise, for a serious clash between the cabi- net officers and the bureau of effi- ciency would probably spell disaster for the bureau. So even if it had no desire to work in a co-operative spirit, the bureau's own interest for self-preservation would prompt it to seek co-operation. “Mr. Steward complained that the executive order does not contain a provision giving the employes the right to inspect their own rating or to appeal from the rating of the su- pervisory officers. The bureau of officiency has never had anything to do with any efliciency rating where the employe was not given both of these privileges. Although the execu- tive order gives the bureau the power to prescribe the system of efficiency rating, nevertheless it shall not at- tempt to do so except in co-operation i { | | 1 i | i eliminated from . _eternal > difference.
