By the Associated Press. PEIPING, China, October 29.—Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, during her tour of the Orient, had a taste of roughing it, and rather enjoyed the experience, visiting the Forbidden City of old imperial days and making a trip to the Great Wall. This last was a three-hour ride in a baggage car on a local train which stopped at every whistling post. No special preparations had been made for Mrs. Wilson's , which included Mrs. Manlon Perkins, wife of the coun- cilor of the American legation. The train consisted of a wheezy locomotive, five freight cars, baggage car and a third-class passenger coach, crowded with Chinese coolies and their families. ‘When the train conductor learned the identity of his distinguished American passenger, he escorted Mrs. Wilson to the baggage car, insisting that she view the country from the open door. l%e y provided chairs and a constant sup of piping hot tea, rice cakes and ripe persimmons which had been picked along the railroad right of way. ‘Mrs. " Wilson, like most sightseers, rode a donkey over the hills to view the Great Wall, spending several hours along the top of the 2,000-year-old structure. She returned to Peiping in the evening in the same baggage coach, with her conductor friend again acting as host for tea and cakes for all of the party of seven. NEED T0 STABILIZE MARKET 1S FELT Hold Federal Reserve Should Take Action in Order to Restore Confidence. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Although New York bankers are try- ing to find a means of stabilizing the stock market by the use of their own funds, it is inevitable that the question should be taken up by the Féderal Reserve authorities in order that con- fidence in actual values may be re- stored. Various proposals are being suggested. Last week President Koover himself issued a staternent expressing confi- dence in the business outlook. While this was reassuring it had no relation- ship to security prices. Only the sta- bilizing influence of large purchases can now affect the situation insofar as the decline of stock prices is con- rned. ‘The belief prevails here that the banks of the country, using Federal Reserve credit, will operate as a stabiliz- ing influence though even this use of Federal Reserve credit may be open to criticism. The Federal 've banks themselves stand ready to lend to mem- ‘ber banks, but the question: of what is the base value of a security will have to be determined before any loan policy can be developed. Decline Long Feared. A violent decline in the Stock Market has long been feared here and the aca- demic question has been discussed as to what would happen if a precipitate break occurred instead of an orderiy decline. When the New York bankers were urging a raise in the rediscount rate on the theory that it would stop speculation officials here were unwill- ing to accept responeibility for the vio- lent rea which they predicted would come. The New York bankers in- sisted that what they wanted was an orderly decline. Developments of the last few days have shown that when a decline it is difficult to make it orderly. Elasticity of the Federal reserve sys- tem is such that huge funds can readily be made available to arrest a decline provided, however, that the water and | speculative profits are entirely elimi- | nated from the situation. 'The Govern- ment is just now lending hundreds of millions of dollars to stabilize the price of cotton and wheat, and has an- nounced to the Federal Farm Board that prices were too low and that it stood ready to advance money to co- operatiVe organizations to buy crops and halt the decline. In a measure the funds of the Government will be used through the Federal reserve system to bring about an orderly marketing of American securities, The principle of stabilization is just the same. Govern- ment funds are not used to bolster up speculative values in wheat and cotton and would, of course, not be advanced to banks to support speculative prices on_stocks. The situation is not confined to New York, but is spreading to other stock exchanges thoughout the country. Th would seem to indicate that if the New York bankers are unable with their own resources to stabilize the stock market_assistance will be sought from ; other Federal Reserve districts. The | situation is somewhat analagous to a run on a commercial bank when all | the depositors want to draw their money out at_ the same time. The psychological effect of last week’s break has been such that manry people who still have a profit are still trying to sell, while the individuals with money to invest are apprehensive and are really 'lifll’l{ for the market to reacn bottom, or at least a level based upon d dividend paymerts. y there is some uneasiness here, but accompanying it is a feeling of confidence that the run on the stock market car be stopped when 1t logically should be arrested.

The placing of the personnel of the | District governmsnt under the law gov- erning the classified civil service of ‘he National Government is one of the most important recommendations in | the proposal for reorganization of the municipal government of the National Capital made by the Institute for Gov- ernment Research of the Brookings In- stitute. This is an association of public- spirited men working to improve the science of government. While all but a comparatively few superior positions in the departments of the National Government are filled only after examination, the institute’s report emphasizes the operation of the classified civil service act in the Dis- trict government, as repards person- nel under the Commissioners, has been confined to the police and fire de- rtments. It is true that there have g:en few, if any, removals by the Com- missioners for political reasons, the report admits. If the merit system is desirable ln} the National Government and in the governments of States and metropoli- tan _cities, the report contends, “it would seem to be desirable in the Dis- trict of Columbia.” Tt is, therefore, recommended by the institute that the Tederal laws and regulations be ex- tended to the District, where practi- cable, under the Civil Service Commis- sion. Not Limited to Residents. It is recommended, however, that ap- pointment to rosmons subordinate to the proposed city manager, who would take over the administrative acts now performed by the District Commission- ers, should not be confined to residents of the District. Ordinarily, minor posi- tions should be filled by residents, and there should be built up an organiza- tion which will allow the higher posi- tions to be filled by promotion. Pro- motions exclusively from within service often result in dead wood reaching the top, the report warns. A survey of the personnel of the Dis- trict government, both. with regard to quantity and quality, is recommended. It may be that some units are over- manned, the institute suggests, and it is likely that some are undermanned. 0. . OV SERVE 4 STAR. WASHINGTON. sufficient money to meet any deficit.

As District employes are of the same general class and_character .5 reueral employes in the District, it is proper that the same provision and rates should apply. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. ‘TODAY.

Navy Band Orchestra will la: President Taft is quoted as having said that “the proposition to add a bureau or department sends gooseflesh all over the body of ary one who has any sort of responsibility in respect to the finances of the Government.” About the same feelings are e: lenced by legislators and the public generally when recommendations are made for increased public personnel, the insti- tute comments. “They always' discount the recom- mendations of department heads, as they suspect that executive officers are eager to build up a high administrative machine. It is likely that there is some justification for this feeling. Never- theless, it may well be,” the t concedes, “that in some units an in- crease in personnel will result in in- creased revenues and that in others the work will be so much more effi- clently conducted that the added cost will be justified. Assistants Recommended. “Particular attention should be paid,” the institute advised, “to the neéessary to provide a quall ranking assistant in each majos unit to- msake inspecticns and to compfle .edéq ate. recorts and statistics to serve as a basis for planning work and legislation.” The quality of the personnel should be reviewed. it is argued, to ascertain whether all employes are fitted for the work assigned to them, and whether the responsible heads measure up to modern standards of technique and progres- siveness. For retirement purposes District em- ployes are divided into three classes specified in three separate acts, each class being paid from a separate fund: (1) Policemen and firemen; (2) teachy ers, and (3) all other employes. As the work of the policemen and firemen involves special hazards the provisions are more liberal for them than in the case of the two other classes. Retire- ment is recommended by a spec! board appointed by the Commissioners. The powers of this board are advisory only, and the Commissioners have full power to decide whether a member should be retired. Retirement is al- lowed for the following reasons: Reasons for Retirement. 1—If incapacitated for the perform- ance of duty through permanent injury or diseases received or contracted in i 2—service of not less than 25 years and attainment of the age of 55 years, if incapacitated for the per- formance of duty for any cause, on ap- plication; 3—at the discretion of the Commissioners when the member reaches the age of 60 years. Retirement is not obligatory at any specified age, the report emphasizes, and says that “it is believed that re- tirement should be. obligatory, particu- Department at the age of 65 and in the Police Department at 70. The proper exercise of command in the Fire De- | partment involves physical vigor and it is doubtful whether a man over 65 can properly discharge his duties. In the Police Department the supervisory po: sitions are of a more administrative character and there are more minor positions in the station houses which do not require physical agility; there- fore, the age limit may be 70. Provision for widows and children is now made only in the case of policemen and firemen. Widows may receive not exceeding $60 a month, and children under 16 not exceeding $£10 a month. These pensions are paid regardless of whether the member of either depart- ment died from injury or disease re- ceived or contracted in line of duty. On account of the extra hazards, the insti- tute feels, there is no question that pen- sions should be paid to widows and chil- dren of members dying from injury or disease reccived or contracted in line of duty. Source of Relief Funds. ‘The policemen’s and firemen's relief fund is a separate fund made up of ac- cretions from the following sources: 1, deductions of 2%; per cent from the salary of each member; 2, fines im by the Commissioners by way of dis- cipline on members of the two depart- ments; 3, rewards that may be re- ceived by any member for extraordinary 0 out more than Eight is no by the fact Packards. greater. An owned. service, except such part as the Com- oners may allow the member to re- tain; 4, donations; 5, net proceeds of sale of unclaimed property in the cus- tody of the Police Department; 6, such money from the revenues as may be au- thorized by Congress. ‘There is no point in placing items 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the fund, the institute says, as these plus item 1 are never suf- ficlent to pay the allowances and the deficit must be made from the revenues. These collections should be carried to the revenues of the District, according to_the institute's view. The portion contributed by the Dis- trict does not appear in the financial statements as an expenditure, but as a deduction from the revenues, as the act of 1916 contains the Decllllll‘&l‘nvlflan that the collector of taxes shall pay into the fuiid “out of the general reve- nues of the District of Columbia col- lected by him * * * such sums as may be necessary from time to time to meet deficiencies in said fund.” however, must make an ap tion from fund. ; and when the collector tion is made the lecture | this evening at 6:30 at the Church of | Dr. buy Packard Standard Eights gove up other makes of cars to do so.

Dr. Morton sketched something of the early church history of Virginia and the history of Christ Church. While s ing of the two great soldiers who had been members of Christ Church, Dr. Morton told one amusing incident. He said.that on several different occasions tourists visiting the church and having the pews of Washington and of Lee pointed out to them have asked how it was that these two men could have worship- ed in amity in adjoining pews when they fought on different sides. oSthatfi soutpnod owd owd owd oldwi The church was well filled for the services, which closed with the reading | of George Washington's prayer. ‘The regular business session of the convention got under way this morning. ‘The meeting convened at the OIld Presbyterian Meeting House, itself a landmark in history, at 9:30 o'clock this | morning.
