BUREAL CUSTON - MOREPERPLENNG % - Afiitude of House Committee »Complicates Engraving Plant Situation. = Treasury oflicials tbday are busy studying the perplexing problem of the Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing, which has become even more in- extricable for the present at least, following the report of the House ap- propriations committee on the Treas- ury appropriation bill. | What they will do about a director for the plant since the committee pro- posed a maximum of only $6,000, when a salary of $10,000 had been asked, was not the only new problem. as the committee report proposed elimination of two assistant direc- tors, leaving only one assistant. This would practically emasculate the plan of reorganization worked out by Treasury officials and Maj. Wallace W. Kirby, former director, who has returned to his Army post at Wash- ington Barracks. Hampers Plan to Return Kirby. Although all hope has not yet been &iven up for returning Maj. Kirby to the bureau as temporary director, it was evident yesterday that the atti- tude of Congress toward the pro- posels of the Treasury has been erys- tallizing in such form as to lessen the prospects that Maj. Kirby may come back. The salary feature alone, it is understood, wouid be unaccept- able to the major, who now is safely ensconced again in his position as head of the Engineer Reproduction Plant of the Army. He served during the six months on reorganization at the salary of a major. How far the Treasury has gone in considering the possibility of getting another director whom they can ap- point to the post at the salary al- lowed by Congress has not been re- vealed. But it was understood that offielals were looking about with a view to finding what the possibilitles are’ No one has been chosen as yet, however, according to the best indi- catfons. In the meantime the new system recently established continues in ef- fect at the bureau, with-Paul E. Twy- man acting director, and the newly constituted “board of directors” su- pervising.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEWARK, N. J., ‘December 20.—O. Henry wrote the story and people termed it fiction. In his story it was a cop who met his friend by appointment after years of separation to find him a common burglar, and arrested him. John H. Syron and John J. Horeau had no idea they were only figures in an old plot that repeats itself with vari- ations. Syron and Horeau went to war in the same outfit. Off the coast of Ire- land they jumped overboard from a cutter to rescue a man from drown- ing. Both were decorated for it. After the war they were separated, Syron became a messenger for the Weequahlc Trust Co. He married, and soon had three children. Horeau was employed as a detective by a surety company which bonds bank, employes. This week Syron was sent, with $3,000 In cash and $725 in checks to deposit in the Merchants and Mi ufacturers' National Bank. He d posited only $1,000 and the checks. Horeau was placed on the case by the surety company. He caused the arrest of Syron. Today he appeared in court as Syron's accuser. Syron pleaded guilty of embezzlement, and was held in" $5,000 bail by Acting Judge Harry Dean to await grand jury sction. Horeau told the court of his old friendship for Syron. “He wa: decorated five times for bravery, Horeau said proudly. CHILDREN PLANT HOLLY IN SCHoOLS Preservation of Christmas Greens Taught in Nature | Study Classes. The plea for conservation of disap- pearing Christmas greens has been carried to practically every pupil in the grade public schools, it was esti- | mated last night by Mrs. Elizabeth K. Peeples, in charge of nature study and school gardens. Actual lessons were given by the 16 teachers on nature study through- out the District. In all schools where there was electricity a series of colored stereopticon slides was used. Using material furnished by P. L. Ricker of the Wildflower Preserva- tion Society, Mrs. Peeples and her teachers presented to all the sixth grades and many of the other grades | two lessons. The first carried the lesson, illustrated with pictures, of why it was necessary to save the holly, ground pine, wintarbeery and laurel, as it is fast disappeartng. The second lecture gave instructions in how to grow holly from cuttings. Stimulated by the lessons and in- spired with a desire to help further | and see if they could really grow ! holly for their own schools, there have been planted somewhere in | every grade school in the District cuttings of holly, in the hope that they may root and grow into bushes. | BRITISH SAIL.ORS GIVEN TIME TO MAKE DEFENSE | Schooner Seized Off Connecticut With Liquor Cargo Valued at $800,000.
