12 * METHODS ASSAILED ' Engineers Say Classification " Plan Is Not on Scientific Basis. Methods of the Personal Classifi- cation Board in carrying out the provisions of the law were attacked in a letter made public today from the American Association of Engi- neers through its federal office lo- cated here. Two principal objcctions were made to the board: first, that “the classi- fiation of the federal employes of the District of Columbia is appar- ently being made in some cases upon | the basis of the nrerent titles anl ratos of compensation of the various sositions considered,” and _second, “importance establishment of wthin the grades services.” sxtensive experfence in personnel work in the Army and in. industry s21d the letter, signed by L. B. Smith, secretary, “has clearly demonstrated the fact that a true and scientific classification can be made only on the basis of the essential qualifications requisite for the positions concerned. Any other basis of classification has been found to be inequitable and un- Just, and to result in confusion and dissatisfaction amons the personnel concerned. Hence, the assoclation urges most strongly that the classifl tion of the federal employes, both in the District of Columbia and in the field, shall be made solely on that basis. The undersigned. from his e perience with the framers of the la is sure that it was their sincere intent that the carrying out of the Jaw should be done in a sclentific manner and zdong the lines indicated above.” Concerning the second point of a lack of sufficient classes the letter £ald the present system was likely to involve the placing of “many posi- tions of the same type. but including varying degrees of =kill and responsi- Vility, at the lowest salary of the grade. Tt must be apparent that such a method of classification would be snost unjust and Incur considerable dissatisfaction among the personnel affected.’ classes various suitable in the Stops In Indiana.

Director Hines of Bureau in a formal statement yester- day, defended the curtailment of per- sonnel in some. of the bureau's sub- district offices. “I regret exceedingly,” he sald, hat the impression has been given that the curtailment of personnel in certain of our sub-district offices was accentuated by other than a desire to provide the maximum of service for our disabled veterans. “A careful survey of the work of the district and sub-district offices of the bureau was made prior to any ad- ministrative change. “This survey has led to a number of readjustments, to the end that organ- izations will be maintained and in- creased if necessary where the needs of the veterans warrant. On the other hand, Wherever this need does not exist the service will be cur- talled. “In o instance has the medical or training facilities afforded veterans been sacrificed. On the other hand, every administrative move has been ‘mmle in the direction of improving the character of service rendered."” | “Approximately thirty-three subdis- trict offices, the director added, have been affected by personnel reductions, the changes resulting in an annaul saving of $1.026,000. One subdistrict joflice was abandoned entirely. REPUBLICAN WINS. R i A. B. Williams Triumphs in Michi- gan Congressional Election.

Best Showing Yet. This 1s by far the best showing the city refuse division has made since the collection of garbage, ashes and trash was made a municipal func- tion. Tt means that the net cost of rendering this service was $450,000. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1922, the appropriation was the same, | but the revenue derived from re- claimed material was only $190,000. The Improvement in the situation during the past twelve months was due to the receipt of higher prices for the grease. waste paper, rags and bottles sold. More Garbage Collected. As an indication of the growth of Washington, the city collected §0.000 tons of garbage during this fiscal year. tite largest amount on record With rows of new houses being built in the outlying sections, the task of gathering up garbage and other household waste is increasing proportionately and it is probable the Commissioners will have to ask Congress for more than $800,000 in the new estimates for this service for the year beginning July 1, 1924. For the twelve months beginning July 1, 1923, the appropriation is $%60.000. The Commissioners, it is under- stood, “will not endeavor to obtaln money next year for the erection of a municipal trash plant. The private fncinerator now being used on Mon- tello avenue is meeting all require- ments and the city heads will be able to lease it for several years to come. VOLSTEAD LAW BARS RUM FROM KLONDIKE British Ask Relief for Territory Accessible Only Through Alas- kan Roads and Rivers. The long reach of the Volstead law, which already has caused perturba- tion in many other faraway places on land and sea, now has brought within its embrace the Klondike re- glon of Canada. As a result. the British government has appealed to Treasury officials for relief for the British subjects there,) and another complication has been | dded to the international controversy ver features of the law which are held abroad to restrict the rights of Penned off in a little corner of the north which has no practicable means of communication with the outside world except along the roads. canals and rivers of Alaska, the residents of the Klondike have found these ave- nues of approach completely barred to liquor shipments. The Canadian government, which exercises a mn- nopoly over liquor importations into the district, advised the home gov- ernment at London as soon as this situation revealed itself. with the re- sult that there have been several con- ferences here hetween American and British representatives Thus far the Treasury has found no way to grant the relief requested, Great Britain the right to transport certain goods across American soil in bond has been set aside by prohibi- tion laws. One of the two routes to the sea from the Klondike traverses only a fifteen-mile strip of American terr tory, Iying between the port of Skag- way' and the Canadian border, but this narrow stretch forms as effectual a legal barrier to liguor shipments as if'it had the breadth of a_continent. The other route, up the Yukon, lies for many miles through Alaska. HULL FINDS SOLACE IN MICHIGAN VOTE Points to Close Race Won by Re- publican Representative as Evi- dence of Democratic Gain. The close result In yesterday's spe- cial election in the third Michigan congressional district, which return- | ed a republican to the House of Rep- | resentatives, is the “latest evidence, Chairman Hull of the democratic na- | tional committee declared in a state- ment, “that the nation wants the democratic party restored to power and the restoration of democratic prosperity.” “While the republican administra- tion leaders,” the statement said, “are at the helght of their joy-riding, junketing and Belshazzar feasting, the voters of the third congressional district of Michigan write upon the wall warning of their overthrow.” Declaring that “republican farmers generally voted the democratic ticket,” Mr. Hall said that “according to the ratio of average republican losses and of the democratic gains in the chain of elections since 1922, the country would return an unprece- dented democratic majority if the Presidential election were held to- | tieth anniversary of day, and they unerringly point to democratic national success in 1924." ! CELEBRATE HERE Birthday of State Observed at Meeting of Its Natives. West Virginia was probably the most talked about state in the Union last night, and to a “foreigner” the fact could not be overlooked that every one of the hundreds who crowded into the Interior Department auditorium was sure it was the best of all states. The occasion for glorifying the name of West Virginia was the six- its admission into the Union. It was purely a state affair, and each of the numerous speakers had some extraordinary words of praise for the Mountain | state. R. E. Allen, the new representative in Congress from the second district, was the principal speaker. He gave 4 general history of his homeland. Maj. John L. Hines, deputy chief of staff and a West Virginian, told of the part its soldiers played in the world war. Gen. Hines had under his command the 80th Division, which as made up largely of “Panhandle” troops. Other speakers were: Capt. J. M. Pipes of the first state administration, on “The Birth of a New State”: French Morgan, cousin of the pres- ent governor, on ‘“Morgan Morgan, the First White Settler,” and Dr. John O.

Mich., June 21.—The con- viction of Mrs. Matie Kirl prom- inent Hudson, Mich., worker, on a charge of manslaughter in connection with the supposed death of an infant born to her unwed | daughter, was set aside by the state supreme court today. Five of the eight members of the court voted for reversal of the con- viction on the grounds that the corpus delicti of the dead child never had been established, that it never had ‘been proved the child is dead norethat its supposed death was occasioned by criminal means. The majority report called for dis missal of Mrs. Kirby. Today's ruling closes a case that at- tracted with interest. Records of the case show a child was born to her daughter Alice July 4, 1921. Several hours later the child disappeared and : complaints were lodged with the au thorities, The state contended Mrs Kirby had either killed the {nfant o permitted it to die to protect her daughter's name. Her conviction in circuit court on a manslaughter charge followed. —————— FARMERS LOSE APPEAL FOR TRADE BOARD PLAC Marketing Bodies Plea Gets No Answer From Co-operative Chicago Business Group. By tha Associated Pres CHICAGO, June 21.—Conversations between Bernard Baruch, New York financier, and President George E. Marcy of the Armour Grain Company on the probabilities of an agreement whereby co-operative grain market-| ing organizations might be repre- | sented on the Chicago Board of Trade| plant of the Mutual Ice Company by some member grain house have resulted in no tangible offer, Mr. Marcy said, following his return yes- terday from New York. In discussing the report current in trade circles for several days that Mr. Baruch had inaugurated conver- sations with various commission houses in his efforts to help the farmers, Mr. Marcy made it plain that no specific proposal involving either his own or any other company had been put forward by Mr. Baruch. \Prison Fees Costly to Virginia While Inmates Eat and Loaf Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va.,, June 21.—The fee system is largely responsible for the enormous criminal expenses of the state. Such was the senti- ment expressed at the meeting of the state commission on the sim- plification of government, when the matter was discussed by that body. There are three city farms in Virginia—Lynchburg, Danville and Newport News. Under the law counties have the right to transfer prisoners there for work. ‘Transfers have not been made, though there has been and is ample room for the prisoners to be housed and worked to ndv-ntlge and to pay for their keep. The jailers and the sherifts will not do this, it Is said, because they receive fees for feeding them. The clothing and medicine bills for the jail inmates of the state last year cost more than $378,000, while the total criminal charges ‘were close to $800,000. R. Frank Bane, secretary of the state welfare board, said that this could have been materially reduced bad the men and women boq employed on the farms al- ready established—as the pris- oners would have been able to work the farms and produce food for the state hospitals-and the institutions which have to be fed at.public expense. The statement was made that the Jails of the state today are filled with able-bodied men, and that they are not wanted on the roads for the simple reason that they are shortterm prisoners, and the cost of transporting them to distant points prevents their be- ing worked to advantage. The re- sult {s that they are kept in jall in idleness and supported at the ex- pense of the taxpavers. Mr. Bane stated that the jall commitments for last year were in excess of 31,000 and for each commitment the jaller receives 50 cents. The federal farm—that for the District of Columbia, at Occoquan—was referred to as one of the ex- amples of successful and proft- able working of misdemeanants, and it was also indicated that the eftect of the farms in the other places in Virginia had served to greatly reduce the num- ber of men who makes it a prac- tice to serve much of their time in the Jails. temperance | NG STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
