BUSH CUN SEARCH | [ o o o rmoeer IN POTOMAC WITH DISCMAGNET FAILS Soft Mud Conceals Weapon Where Murder Suspect Says He Threw It. CARNELL WILL NOT SIGN ALLEGED CONFESSION Insists Shot Was Fired in Struggle. Declares He Tossed Weapon * From Bridge Later. The gun used in the slaying of Louis Bush, wealthy bus line owner, lies at the bottom of the Potomac River, William J. Carnell, under indictment slong with two companions in Bush’s murder, admitted to police Friday night. All day long yesterday the harbor police boat, equipped with an electric magnetic disc, cruised in the water under and on both sides of the bridge in a search for the gun. They were unable, however, to locate it. The gun is wanted for evidence in the trial of Carnell on December 15. Refuses to Sign Statement. Carnell, who readily makes an oral admission that he struggled with Bush in an attempted hold-up on the night of October 6 in the rear of the bus owner’s home, but who refuses to make 8 signed confession, told Lieut. Edward J. Kelly, assistant chief of detectives, that he hurled the weapon over the railing of the bridge two nights after Bush met his death. Carnell insists the gun went off during the struggle. Carnell said he went to the bridge with a friend, whose name he does not recall, and when they neared the rail- ing he tossed the gun into the river. He further stated that he does not remember at just what point along the bridge he threw the gun away. Police said last night that the river st the point near the bridge is more than 35 feet deep and that the bottom of the river is covered with soft mud, ‘which probably explains the futile use of the magnet. Carnell, who was returned from Pitts- burgh FPriday night, yesterday joined Frank Mahoney and William C. McKay, the two other men indicted in the case, at the District jail. Companion Waited in Car. In his verbal admission, Carnell, de- tectives say, admits that he was the man who grappled with Bush, while Frank Mahoney is alleged to have waited in a nearby alley behind the wheel of his automobile. Mahoney is said by police to have driven off when he heard the shots which cost the life of Bush. Yesterday Carnell was taken to the District Supreme Court Building for ar- guilty” when he faced Justice Peyton Gordon in Criminal Division 1. ELEVATOR OPERATOR VOTED $5 YSLE GIFT| Federation of Citizens’ Associations | Also to Probe Employment of Woman More Than 8 Hours. | Laura Allen, colored elevator oper- ator at the District Building, who has ferried many hundreds of carloads of delegates to the Federation of Citizens’ Associations during her years of service at the District Building, was remem- bered by the federation last night when | it voted her a $5 gift out of the treasury for Christmas. At the same time many delegates, ap- | parently surprised to learn that the | District government allows a woman to work more than eight hours a day without extra compensation, announced their intention of seeking shorter hours for her. President George C. Havenner of the federation appointed a special commit- tee to investigate the circumstances which make it possible for the District %o compel a woman to work for longer hours than she would be allowed to work in many private establishments, such as come under the eight-hour law. Fred 5. Walker, C. A. Barker and H. E. Young were made members of the committee. At the same time Miss Etta Taggart, delegate from the Progressive Citizens' Association of Georgetown, announced that she would bring the matter before the meeting of her association tomor- row night. . —_— HANDLING OF CAPITAL CIVIC FUND COMMENDED | 'GLOVER PARKWAY | APARTMENT WILL | COST §4,000,000 Structure Will Be Third of Great Triangle on 28- Acre Site.

PEPCO T0 VACATE SITE IN FEBRUARY Work on New Post Office De- partment Building Gets Under Way. With actual preliminary work al- ready under way on the site of the new Post Office Department Building, at Thirteenth and C streets, it was learned last night that the Potomac Electric Power Co. has made definite plans to mcve out of its old home in February to give way to the new De- | partment of Labor Building, which is to rise on the site at Fourteenth and B streets. ‘Work on the new Post Office Depart- ment Building consists of drilling holes in the site to determine the nature of the subsoil, so that detailed plans for the foundation may be made. The drilling is being done by two crews of men from the Mott Core Drilling Co. of Huntington, W. Va. They have fin- ished one hole and found solid rock at a depth of about 74 feet below the surface. The two drilling machines will continue with their work all over the site, so far as the bulldings now there will allow. The machines are working on the sidewalks near the | corner of Thirteenth and C streets. No determination can be made as to | the exact nature of the foundations needed for the new Post Office De- partment Building until further tests have been made, but it is considered likely by engineers that a subsoil some- | roughs School. | what_similar to that found under the new Internal Revenue Building will be encountered. There was so much soft ground and water on the Revenue site, which is across Twelfth street from the new Post Office site. that it was found necessary to sink concrete piles to hold up the foundation. Concrete Piles Probable. Judging from the’ nature of findings in the first drilling on the Post Office site, it may be necessary also to use concrete pifes under the new Post Office The old Post Office De- | ment Building of granite stone is sting only on. wooden piles. Work on the new Post Office Depart- ment and announcement that the Po- tomac Electric Power Co. will move out in February are early signals of what will be a tremendous buflding operation early this Spring to result in tearing down of six_adjacent blocks of build ings in the Federal triangle, and erec tion of four majestic connected build- ings on the site. This continuous site is in the shape of a gigantic letter “L” with the top of the letter on Pennsylvan'a avenue. bztween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, where the new Post Office De- partment will start. This bullding will occupy the width of that block run- | ning southward to join onto what will be known as either the Interstate Com- merce Commission Building or the General Accounting Office Building on the corner of Twelfth and B streets. This latter building is t4 be a twin to the Department of Labor Building, to 7o up at Fourteenth and B strets, and { these two, connected by a big archi- | tectural feature, to be used for an as- Community Chest Praised by Trus- b2 [ i tees, “lected by Incorporators !

More persons are being given employ- ment by the Federal Government now than at any time since the force was reduced after the World War, according to the annual report of the United States Civil Service Commission for the year ending June 30, last, which was made public last night. ‘There were 608,915 employes in the executive civil service on June 30 last, as against 587.665 at the end of the fiscal year before, a net increase of 21,250 employes. There are now 462,- 083 positions subject to competitive ex- aminations under the civil service act, & gain of 16,126 during the year, the report states. The number of Federal civil service employes in the District of Columbia increased from 63,904 to 68,510 during the fiscal year ending last June 30, while the number of Federal civil em- ployes outside the District increased d the same period from 523,761 to 540,405, the report shows. Gains Are Classified. The greatest gains during the year are shown to have been made in the following establishments: Department, of Commerce, 10,211, the temporary force of the census accounting for the greater part of these; the War ment, 3,022; the Panama Canal, 2,602; the Interior Department, 2,001, and the Department of Agriculture, 1,741, A few establishments show a slight decrease. The Navy Department made the great- est reduction In personnel, the total being 2,879. The commission renewed its recom- mendation for the extension of the classified service so as to place fleld presidential positions which are nen- policy determining, such as collectors of internal revenue and customs, and post~ masters, in the classified service, dis~ pensing with confirmation by the Sen- ate and the four-year term of office, and leaving to the President his dis- cretionary power of making such rules and exceptions as he may deem neces. sary. The commission also recommended that the positions of deputy collector of internal revenue and deputy marshal be restored to the classified service. Veteran Preference Shown, In discussi results of veteran pref- erence regulations, the commission said that from the issuance of the executive order of March 3, 1923, which first abled veterans, to June 30, 1930, a total of 9,258 disabled veterans were appoint- ed.
