Only Remaining Hope for'

APPEAL TO RESCIND ORDER
Suggestion at Joint Meeting of
House and Senate Committees.
NO CONGBESS ACTION NOW .
' ?
Members, However, Apparently in
Favor of Some Pension Legis
lation in Near Future.
?????
To the President and members of the
Senate and House committees on the civil
service today shifted the burden of pro- \
viding for the several hundred veteran
government clerks who are threatened
with dismissal July 1. ^
Hope of federal help for the 230 or more ^
clerks whom old age and long service for ^
the government have Incapacitated for ^
further efficient service, through the Sen- {
ate and House civil service committees,
was practically killed this morning. The
remaining hope, suggested by the members
of those committees, lies in action by
the President.
To the President, it was suggested, an
appeal should be made to have him rescind
the order dismissing the veteran
clerks and issue an order continuing them
on the government pay rolls, in their present
capacities or wherever they can be
provided for, until some definite retirement
plan can be approved and established
by Congress.
The Senate and House committees in
joint session heard representatives of
the Association of Citizens in Behalf of
the Interests of Federal and District
Employes. Its plan for having Congress
make temporary provision tor
the retirement of 500 employes during
the coming year was briefly outlined,
but the association's representatives
emphasized, instead, the need for some
emergency measure, and expressed the
willingness' to let Congress frame the
exact form it is to take. j?
No Action Possible This Session. I I
In reply the members of the committee
declared that it is an impossibility
to get Congress to act upon any retirement
measure during the remainder of
this session. Even a temporary measure
of relief, it was suggested, will
meet opposition on the ground that it
would be an entering wedge. Prefer- SI
ence was expressed for having the
clerks who are threatened with dis?
- ? * II- ...All
missal conunueu on tne pay runs umu
some retirement plan of a comprehensive
character can be acted upon by
Congress, and in that connection the
appeal to the President was suggested. ,
Following the public hearing the committees
met in executive session. It was n*
formally decided that nothing could be loi
done by the committees this session. pr
The one encouraging feature of the afl
meeting? however, was the evident desire .
of the members of the committee to reach ?
some compromise on a retirement meas- "e
ure that can be presented at some future wi
session of Congress, probably the next, vo
While the committee decided against Qf
making any formal statement to the <
President regarding its position, he will y,,
be informed that the committees are j,e
working in an efTort to reach a com- ?
promise agreement at the earliest mo- a
ment. fle
It was urged that the committee make op
eome definite statement to the President w.
as to what Congress will do toward the *
establishment of a civil service retire- an
ment system. But the committees de- 2
cided that they had no authority to ;
make any promises; and the President ?!,,
will be only informally told that the committees
are making efforts to agree upon *
some plan.
Gen. Harries Appeals. "h
Gen. George H. Harries, president o
the Board of Trade and a member of j
the ways and means committee or the ge]
Citizens' Association, opened the hear- ce(
ing. He presented the emergency created At
by the orders dismissing about 230 clerks jj
from the government service July 1, em- In*
phasized the long and faithful service for pr
the government performed by these vet- m<
eran employes who are to be cast out *rc
without means of livelihood, and asked *
that some means be provided by Congress ec
to insure an Income to these faithful be
clerks in their old age. Nc
"You have asked the President to send A1
a special message to Congress on this '1
matter, have you not?" he was asked. hh
"Yes," replied Gen. Harries. hu
"What kind of a measure will he 8tl
favor?" ke
"I don't know whether he favors a on

FROM GREECE JULY 6
News of Engagement of
Daughter of Former Senator
Cockrell Reaches City.
From private letters and other sources
the news was received here today of the
approaching marriage of Miss Anna
Ewing Cockrell, daughter of former Senator
Cockrell, of Missouri, now a member
of the interstate commerce commission,
and L. A. Coromilas, envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary to
the United States from Greece.
The wedding will be quietly celebrated
Wednesday, July 6, at the home of Miss
Cockrell's sister, Mrs. Edson F. Gallaudet,
in Norwich, Conn., where Miss Cockrell
is now visiting. The formal announcement
of the engagement was to
have been made tomorrow, but has been
thus pleasantly anticipated.
The news will be a surprise to all except
the family of the young lady and her
personal friends, who had anticipated
this ending to an international courtship
which has been going on for the last
year. ,
Is a Noted Belle.
Miss Cockrell has had a delightful social
career as a Washington belle, but has not
been here for the last year, except at
intervals. Her health required the climate
of her Missouri heme, where she spent
last winter. Lately she went to her sister's
home in Connecticut, where as above
stated, her wedding will take place. Mrs.
Gallaudet as Miss Marion Cockrell was
noted among the belles of her time.
Mr. Coromilas, counted as one of the
handsomest men In the diplomatic cbrps,
was prominent among the bachelor hosts
of the past winter, Recently, by the
death of his mother, he has been in
mourning, and it is for that reason that
the wedding will be a quiet one.
Sail for Europe July 9.
Minister Coromilas will take his bride
to Europe, sailing July 9. He has lately
been granted a six-month leave of absence
from his post here, which he and
his bride will spend in travel. They propose
to make a stay in London before
?oing on the continent. They will then
?o to Athens, where the bride will meet i
tier new relatives and view her new
country. So far as is known the minister
will return to his post here and another
American girl will be at the head of a
foreign legation in this city.
SPANISH CATHOLICS PEOTEST.
Declare Anti-Clerical Measures
Against Wishes of the Masses.
MADRID, June 21.?The Central Catholc
Association has sent to Premier
^analejas a voluminous protest agairtst
the recent decree authorizing the edifices
>f non-Catholic religious societies to display
the insignia for public worship and
igainst other anti-clerical measures, including
those regulating the religious orJers.
The protest sets forth the declaration
that the extension of the public school
system is contrary to the religion of the
itate and the aspirations of the immense
najority of the Spanish people. It points
>ut that the number of religious orders
n Spain is less than in Belgium, Engand
and Germany, and dwells especially
lpon the liberty which religious orders
mjoy in America.

Blood-Stained Blackjack in Sus1

Unearthing of Crime.
PORTLAND, Ore., June 21.?The blun- ^
der of the murderers in wrongly routing
a trunk sent to the Union depot in this (
city was the means late yesterday of
disclosing a ghastly murder. The victim
is William A. Johnson, who, with his
wife and seven-year-old son, arrived here
Monday morning in company with a man
who went by the name of A. C. Powers.
The party registered at a cheap north
end hotel, Powers as coming from Nome, .
Alaska. The Johnsons did not give their '
residence. {
Powers, whose real name is J. F.
Webb, and Mrs. Johnson were arrested I
at an uptown lodging house early today. <
They were apprehended as they were
returning from an automobile trip to a (
suburban resort. Both the man and
woman denied 'all knowledge of the <
crime. Webb declared he saw Johnson <
last at the Union station yesterday after- '
noon, waiting for a train to go to Seattle.
He asserted Johnson was intoxicated
at the time. Nothing important was ?
.elicited from either.
On Webb's person we^e found two 1
watches, one of which Mrs. Johnson identified
as her husband's, and two women's (
haiftkerchiefs, both bloodstained. One
of Webb's hands was injured and ban- .

that the Senate must

Filibuster on the Carpet
Several insurgents and some of
he regulars are strongly op>osed
to the House bill. Rumors
>f a filibuster against the measure
illed the air this morning.
It was because of these reports
ind the further prediction that
he absence of the President from
iVashington tomorrow would be *
aken advantage of to so amend
:he bill in the Senate as to make
its passage impossible in either
branch of the national legislature,
that the President decided to remain
at the White House frotn
low until the day of adjournment.
It became known at the White House
sarly this morn Ins that President TaXt
lad determined to cancel his trtp to
STew Haven. He intended to leave tough

The White House . did not care a rap

President Taft also tried to smooth the
