I The evident purpose of the people 1 f Cleveland Park Is to avoid the 1 >ngested conditions on 14th street by i aving their cars turn down 17th ! :reet from U street. From 17th and < streets they ask that the new tracks * tend south on Connecticut avenue < nd switch on to the H street tracks 1 f the Washington Railway and Elec- t -ic Company. From Connecticut ave- 1 ue and H street they would have 1 le new route go west to 17th street j nd south to Pennsylvania avenue. An official familiar with traction ] mditions pointed out today that a lore feasible plan would be to ex- ) :nd the present Chevy Chase tracks cross the new Connecticut Avenue . ridge and have them consolidate with |, le Washington Railway and Electric ! fount Pleasant tracks. This official also suggested that if le 17th street plan should be adopted would be better to extend the new ne down Jackson place from H to \ ennsylvania avenue than to run it i est on H street from Connecticut ave- i ue to 17th street and thence south. I Able to I'adertake Work. The Cleveland Park petitioners ( ate that they believe the Capital \ ruction Company is financially able k. iinH?rtolffl tho *'?4 14 - lould be ordered at the earliest pos- 1 ble date. i They make the statement that the apital Traction Company needs more ] ackage properly to serve the area 1 f the city west of 15th street and j orth of Pennsylvania avenue. !( Whetf the commission takes up the , uestion of extensions it is expected , lat several citizens' associations in | le city proper will present a peti10a for more east-and-west lines. Another suggestion which has been I iscussed by the Federation of Citiens' Associations is that the south- i ound 14th street track of the Capital < raction Company he joined to the V. R. K. track at New York avenue. > permit Capital Traction cars to : ontinue down 14th street to Penn- j ylvania avenue. This would elimi- ( ate the necessity of Capital Traction ars winding up New York avenue nd down 15th street to the Avenue.

Provisional retention in the government service of about 200 superannuates has been authorized by the Civil Service Commission until the applications for retention can be pery manently decided upon by the comlf mission. e Since the law authorizing separations from the service went into ef" feet August 20 there has been some question among the superannuates as to exactly the status of those who I were retained but who nave not as yet been formally certified for retention for two years. , The Civil Service Commission has * authorized the various departments to give provisional retention to those ' employes who are In this status, so ,l that no superannuate may suffer, n whether ultimately retained or re18 tired. t.rntifjing to Employe*. This action of the commission is viewed most favorably by the civil d service employes themselves. The commission has acted on a great r many retention cases, but the numt. ber mentioned still remain to be con,f siderdd. All the facts in each case must be o virifled by the commission, and its medical officers give their verdict, befere an employe may be certified for | retention. This takes time, and some s! of the cases, it is stated, have been 0 | "hanging fire" for several weeks, o I Effect of the Ruling. I Under provisional retention in the service, the employe so aixeciea re- i tains his status as an employe of the government until the ease is finally " settled hv the commission. In case he i" is ordered retained in the service he | merely remains at his desk, as if , nothing had happened. In case his " claim is not sustained he is ordered e separated from the service, and im,j mediately put on the retired list. So at present there are several ,t score superannuates who are yet on B Uncle Sam's rolls whose cases are unH der advisement, and all or part of the number may be retained or all o dropped. It is lik'ely that some will s be retained at their posts and others r. retired. This is.one of the complicaa | tions which have prevented any exact - figures as to retirements and reten t tions.

' " ' v " 1 w A negative shake of the head was it the senator's reply to questions about P< the governor's declaration that the republican nominee personally knew , of and approved the allotments enu- h. merated. ' Senator Harding indicated that the b( reply of the party organization would n( have to come from Chairman Will H. m Hays and Treasurer Fred Upham. ..j who, he said, had handled the cam- rf paign finances. t)l Henry p. Davison Calls. in Several important conferences, an aft- a' ernoon automobile trip to speak at Ga- t? lion, Ohio, and an evening reception oi here to Marion women in celebration of cc the grant of suffrage, were on Sena- si tor Harding's Crowded engagement ts list for today. bi Among the callers were Henry P. to Davison, a partner in the Morgan b< banking h;use. and Fred D. l'nder wood, president of the Erie raiiway. ! The conferences between them and the nominee were understood to concern certain financial problems. et At Gallon the senator was to speak tl: to a picnic of Erie railway employes, is apd it was expected he would make to railway labor the subject of his short j,, address. f CJ Regret* Wilson's Death. ct Senator Harding issued the following statement today on the death of Si James Wilson, former Secretary of n< Agriculture: w "It was a great shock to learn of t>' the death of former Secretary James ci Wilson. He was one of the pioneers in 01 modernizing ana improving agricul- m ture. He served in the cabinet longer ai than any other man in the national m history. tl "Two men have won and deserved the credit for planning, organizing and launching departments of our ja government. OnNwras Alexander I]' Hamilton, who created the Treasury \ establishment on the lines that have J] been followed ever since. The other V was James Wilson, -who though not the first Secretary of Agriculture, was the man who placed that department on the map and made it a model that almost every progressive government in the world has copied. His death takes one of the great Americans. to whom the nation owes a debt Bi?umuc ?uu nign regard." p Root Plan May Bo Issue. I* Myron T. Herrick, former ambassador to France, who called on Senator Harding yesterday, intimated that the world court plan now being formulated abroad by Klihu Root and the representatives of European nations would have a large place in the party's program as Anally placed before the country. .v. The league of nations issue also was discussed by the candidate with former re Senator George Sutherland of Utah. To 0f both his callers Senator Harding is un- , derstood to have outlined the speech he is to make here Saturday detailing his of foreign policy and elaborating on his to proposal for a new association of na- H tionsto preserve world concord. That the nation must not hold aloof, th but must "play its proper part" in the ,je world's affairs, was emphasized by the nominee in a short talk to a group of "e Marion county school teachers who call- fu ed on him. He declared himself as am- jj< ious as any one to see peace preserved, but be added that the republic could accomplish its real mission in the world j ai only if it remained unfettered. 15 In his speech Senator Harding also j promised to use his influence for higher 1 school standards and for better pay for 71 teachers. J? Holds President Responsible. "If President Wilson had sent a j cr peace commission of properly equip- 1 ra ped delegates." said Mr. Herrick, th "and they had made the basis of sound peace, say in January of 1919, pi Europe would h#.ve agreed readily. re For the tragic failure to accomplish tr this the President alone was responsi- w ble, and all Europe now knows it. I talked with very many of the foremost statesmen of Europe and H 1 know that this statement reflects u their attitude. "They persistenly inquired why we aI did not submit to them the reservations adopted by the Senate. With- *" out exception, they insisted that if fit these had been submitted to them jn they would instantly have acquiesced ri in them.

BY X. O. MESSENGER. NEW YORK. N. Y., August 27.?Of mrse. at this early hour, after the lowdown of proof by Gov. Cox of s charges of a. fifteen-million-dollar impaign fund to be raised by the relblican national committee, the efct of the disclosure upon public iinion cannot be gauged, but the im ession made upon the political lead's can be reported. The democratic managers are well intent with the governor's statement id are relieved to find that he made i good a showing as he did. They ere well aware of the state of pub ; sentiment, which demanded that ie governor produce material backg for his charges, and appreciated ie storm of criticism that would folw his failure to do so. The democratic managers believe tat the governor's course will bene: his candidacy. The republican leaders think that ie governor has not "made good" id that a reaction will follow when s statement is analyzed by thoughtil people. They claim that he utrly failed to substantiate his charge iat sinister interests were seeking purchase the presidency through impaign contributions. In that he d not name any contributor whp mid be identified with interests or ;rsons having a purpose inimical to >od government. Hays to Offer Proof. The republican leaders contend that le widespread canvass for funds, cx nding into every state and among 1 classes of people, disproves the larges that any special interest, roup or coterie is backing the rejblican campaign. Chairman Hays. is said, will prove this when he jbmits to the senatorial investiiting committee next week the list ' contributors to the fund. Intense indignation is felt by the ^publican leaders over the gov nor's statement that contributors the republican campaign fund are ;eking to control the Federal Re rve Board, continue profiteering and jt the bayonet to the breast of bor. They think that th? country ill resent this charge and that the feet will be analogous to the storm hich was raised by President Wil>n's appeal on the eve of the conressional elections two years ago >r the election of a democratic Hofive cause only democrats would sup>rt the measures of the governent. Republican leaders nvntmn) that ov. Cox's charge in this respect is onstrous. and they feel sure that hen its purpose is fully understood will be vigorously resented by the iople. Will Disclose Figures. Chairman Hays and Treasurer L'pim when they go before the instigating committee next week will i prepared, it is said, to si > large contributions have- ... ade by any one and that no nterests" have chipped in to the ^publican war fund. They feel that lis Should weaken fio\. Cot's choree asmuch as he laid stress upon the leged ulterior motive of contribuirs, as well as upon the magnitude the fund. They do not think the >untry will regard as excessive the lm sought to be raised and cerlinly not the amount which has been -ought in. The full quota allotted p the cities has not in every case sen filled and probably will not be, it felt. Collections Well Scattered. But the main consideration depend1 upon by the republicans to offset pe effect of the governor's statement that his charge of interests seeking i control the presidency is refuted f the extensive distribution of the >ntributors throughout the whole >untry and among all classes. They feel that the people who have iven the money in sums which can>t be said to be improperly large ill not take kindly to the suggeson that they have in mind the purtase of the Federal Reserve Board any other branch of the governenCservice. The prevailing opinion jiong republicans might be sumed up in their characterization of le governor's bombshell as a "dud." ? ? ? a m as Ml IN U. U.

Confers With Ptarty Chiefs. Gov. Cox announced his brief conerence here with Mr. White and Senitor Harrison was for the purpose >f discussing the effect of his speech it Pittsburgh last night, at which ie presented information to support lis charges that a republican campaign fund exceeding $1 .">.000,000 was >eing raised "in a conspiracy to buy he presidency." Gov. Cox indicated hat he was desirous of learning the. mpression created in New York by his address. Among democratic leaders at the tation to greet Mr. Cox. who did not eave his car, were. Homer S. Cumnings, former chairman of the demoratic committee; Oswald West, forner Governor of Oregon, and Thomas j. Reilley. former representative rom Connecticut and now sheriff of lew Haven, who has rharge of plans or the reception in that city today of he presidential candidate.

Hays, chairman of the relublican national committee, that itilividual campaign contributions would le restricted to $1,000. Mr. Cox said: "Mr. Hays knows that such a statenent isn't true. The methods used by he republicans are to get some big ellow to give $20,000 or $25,000, after rhich nineteen or twenty-four dum ny names are wrmen auwn as tunributors on the party's books. No ne needs to worry about my not laming the sources of the funds ohich I have accused the republicans f raising." Willing to Testify. Mr. Cox said that if the Senate comnittee investigating campaign funds eally wished him to appear before it n Chicago, he would do so. "The Senate committee now has the lecessary leads. If it wishes to inestigate, it will call in republican tate leaders and learn from them irlio the county and city leaders are nd thus get all the details.
