Johnson is a supporter of Sen tor Edge, Republican, of NeWw Jersey, who was backing Stokes, . but - Stokes said Johnson “certainly did not sup- port me.” He did not know why nor did he know of any particular influence which led Johnson to back Kéan. “Do you know of any fraud in the primary?” asked McNary. “Charges were made on account of excessive votes in places,” he answered. “When almost unanimous votes ‘were cast for one man in some places the presumption is ‘it was overdone.' ™ “Where did that happen?” Stokes said he didn't know offhand | of particular places where that hap- pened. but he belleved a study of the records would show it. “I can’t relay rumors to you when I am under oath; I want to deal in facts,” he added. | Asked to®Submit Leads. McNary asked him to submit leads 1o the committee which might help it. Stokes offered none. Stokes deplored the use of money in | campalgns, declaring it developed par- ticipation by the “undesirabje element— the pay roll polticians.” “There are certain men in our State and every State,” he continued, “who always follow the wealthy candidate and follow him because he has money.

The capfure of an automobile re- ported to contain 120 quarts of whisky | resulted in a raid last night at 4000 ‘Tunlaw road, by seventh precinct police, and the se re of a 100-gallon still, 5,000 gallons of mash, 200 quarts of 4 bags of corn meal, 15 pounds of yeast, and 2 bags of sugar. There were no arrests, ‘The raid was made as a result of in- formation sald to have been furnished by John McN. Wallace, colored, 36 years old, 503 N street. Wallace was arrested in his automobile as he was leaving the place and s claimed by police to have told them that he had just purchased his load at the Tunlaw road address for $72. When police first saw the automobile there were two men in it, but one escaped. He is thought to have gone back to the house and tipped off the owners of the still, since there was not a single person in the place when the raid was made.

McCarl, on the other hand, specifically lays down the law as automatic, sets forth the exact pay, how employes shall be pro- moted and says that whatever admin- istrative discretion there may be, espe- clally in regard to higher grades, such as 5 and 6 of the professional and scientific service, is in the hands of the “administrative office,” meaning the de- partments and establishments, not the classification board. In the second place, as to details, the two viewpoints differ on the method of placing grades 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the professional and scientific service, which carry the same pay as grades 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the clerical, ad- | mimstrative and fiscal service. The | board asked for slips on all these, de- | seribing “current duties and responsi- | bilities,” and intimates one specific pro- motion in CAF-11 or P-4. McCarl's promotions are entirely different. Employes Transferred. “It is the view of the board,” said | circular 25, “that any employe now in CAF-11 or P-4 who may be receiving a rate of pay higher than the maximum of the new grades CAF-11 and P-4, and who may be allocated to those new grades, may continue to draw the higher rate under that provision in the act against decrease in compensation of present employes.” McCarl, on the other hand, took the employes of the old CAF-11, and trans- ferred them bodily into the new Welch act, CAF-12, ignoring the new grade 11. McCarl in this place promoted per- sons from $3,800 to $4,600, from $4,000 to $4,600, from $4,200 to $4,800, from $4,600 to $5,000, from $4,800 to $5,000 and from $5,000 to $5,200. Following similar procedure in the past, the Classification Board informed department heads that “in submitting current sheets for the positions now allocated to grades CAF-11 and P-4 the department should review all of the positions in the light of the descrip- tions of these new grades and the defl- nition of the term ‘grade’ in the clas- sification act and make recommenda- tions as to their allocations in these new grades in accordance with the es- tablished procedure.” Government executives charged with administration of the McCarl interpre- tation of the Welch act were busy studying its provisions today. A mect- ing of chief clerks was called at the State Department, it was reported, to discuss the matter. Reaction among the employes varifd from elation to disappointment as fur- ther detafls came to light, but for the most part the rank and file were much ed with the assurance that under s interpretation they were ty receive thelr increases fn pay without doubt NAMED COURT BAILIFF.
