Officers pointed out that the Bureau of Efficiency report was based on the report of the Interdspartmental Pay- Board, now before Congress, on which the entire naval service is in agreement. Naval officers took particular excep- set out that after 10 years of service officers are obtaining $4,500. Cite Variance in Pay. At present two-thirds of the line offi- | cers are comprised of the class of 1817 | and later classes, the officers explained, | and these constitute an ever-growing majority in the service. Instead of the $4.500 set out in the Bureau of Efficiency report, the officers said that under the 1922 pay act, this two-thirds of the line officers, some of whom have merely 13 years' service, are put in the position where at the end of 13 years’ service, married officers get as & maximum total pay and .allowances $4,278. Bachelor officers graduating on the same 4ay with the same service, while serving at sea, get $3,006 and bachelor officers while on shore du'y get $3,816. This is a far cry, they insist, from the published fig- ure of $4,500 for officers with three years’ less service. The total number of line officers in the Navy today is 5458, out of a grand total of 7475 officers in all branches of the service.

By the Associated Press. EVANSTON, Ill, February 19.—The unsolved mystery of whether chicken or egg came first had a professional prece- | dent yesterday which Justice James | Barber solved with solomonic sagacity. | It was a little thing, but a vital principle. Students of Northwestern | University who had been arrested lately for parking their cars on Sheridan road | near the university had the unvarying explanation: “We go to classes in the | chemistry building and find our profes- sor has parked his car in the road. Naturally, we do likewise.” anlr:s heard this excuse until he was tired of it, Justice Barber sent yes- terday for Charles Dewitt Hurd. I have to go to the chemistry build- ing to teach,” said Hurd. “I find all my pupils have rked their cars in the road. Naturally, I do likewise.” “We are getting nowhere,” said the court. “This is a round robin of which I have had sufficient.

SIMPLE CEREMONY 1S HUGHES' DESIRE New Chief Justice to Be Sworn In by Justice Holmes | on Monday. Extremely simple ceremonies, in keep- m with the character of his new office, 1 mark the installation on Monday, February 24, of Charles Evans Hughes as Chief Justice of the United States. Mr. Hughes, who visited the White House yesterday to thank the President for selecting him as head of the Su- preme Court, has tentatively decided to adopt, on assuming the duties of the Chief Justice, the course he followed when he became associate justice, He will take the constitutional oath of allegiance in the robing room before the court meets. After the court crosses the corridor from the robing room and goes on the bench the new Chief Justice will take the judicial oath. It is expected that both oaths will be administered by Associate Justice Oliver who, in March, will celebrate his eighty- ninth birthday anniversary, and who, during the iliness of Mr. Taft, was acting Chief Justice. H After the judicial oath is administered Mr. Hughes will take his seat in the middle of the bench and the court will proceed with its business. No other formalities will mark the occasion. The ocourt plans to make public the letter sent to Mr. Taft expressing its regret over his resignation, and the reply in which Mr. Taft told of his sorrow that {liness had compelled him to retire, Chief Justice Hughes is returning to New York late today. He has decided Wendell Holmes, the senior associate, | C. to retain Reynolds Robertson and W. W.
