IN ARMY AND HAW
Marine Corps and Other
Services Face Reduction
to Save $28,600,000.
A saving to the government of $28,
600.000 a year ultimately will be made
possible under a bill providing for a
new basis of pay to the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps, coast guard, public
health service and the coast and geo
detic survey, which has been com
pleted by the joint congressional serv
ice pay commission. The bill was or
dered submitted to the House and !
Senate late yesterday, according to
the Associated Press. The ?saving to
the government Is estimated on the
present strength of each of the serv
ices. I
Cxpert* 91:1.000 000 Reduction.
Senator Wadsworth. chairman of
the commission, is authority for the j
statement that in the fiscal year 1923
the new rate of pay proposed for the
services would result in a reduction
of the budget for the six services by
about $13,000,000. In the Ave years
thereafter a further reduction of
$9,480,000 would be accomplished an
nually, provided the strength of the
services remained unchanged. After
that time the "ultimate" saving would
be $28,600,000 a year, according to fig
ures which the commission will sub
mit to the two houses of Congress
when the measure is formally re
ported.
The proposed pay arrangement is
bared on a combination of length of
service with the rate increases inci
dent to promotion. Members of the
committee said that in some instances
there would be sharp cuts for
younger men in the services, but
these, it was believed, would be more
than offset by provisions protecting
the personnel in times of slow pro
motions. Days when promotions
come fast, thus giving younger men
quickly added pay, also are dealt
with, so that the other extreme from
the results of slow promotions does
not take the younger men too
rapidly to the pay level of their
elders.
Below Present Baals. j
As a whole, the proposed rate is!
below the present basis which was
fixed in 1930. but Chairman Wads-1
worth said that it still remained |
materially higher than the basis |
established in 1908. Representatives
of all the services affected have
participated constantly with the
joint commission in working out the
hundreds of items which go to make
up such a bill, and while not all are
entirely satisfied, most of them were
said by committee members to be
agreeable to the new program.
The commission has been studying
the subject for several months, but
upon completion of its work is auto
matically dissolved. The Senate j
already has appointed a special com- I
mittee, including the five Senate ,
members of the commission, which I
will make a formal report on the
measure as soon as the commission's
views are put in writing.
Representative McKenzie, republi
can. of Illinois, vice chairman of the
commission, will ask the House at
the eariiest opportunity to set up
j similar machinery for the legislative
handling of the bill in that body.
BURGLARS FAIL TO GET
INTO REALTY SAFES
John P. Story's Office at 1112 Con
necticut Avenue Entered
Last Night.
Burglars last night visited the real
estate building of John P. Story, 11X2
Connecticut avenue, and made unsuc
cessful attempts to rob two safes, one
In tho office on the lower floor, and
the other In a room on tile second
floor. The hole In the safe on the
lower floor was drilled about two
inches from the combination, and the
condition of the door indicated that
an explosive had been used, but with
out result. So explosive had been
used on the other safe. A hole had
been-drilled In the combination, and,
the police think, the would-be rob
bers were frightened from the build
ing before they had time to use an
explosive. One safe contained $300,
the police were told, while there was
no cash in the other safe.
James Hawkins, colored, in the em
ploy of the realty operator, reached
the building shortly after 7 o'clock
this morning and notified Inspector
Clifford L. Grant, chief of detectives,
and members of his squad, who con
ducted an investigation.
Police reached the conclusion that
the attempt was made by amateurs,
who probably wore gloves, no finger
prints being obtained from either
safe. Entrance to the building was
gained by cutting bars from a rsar
window.
WILL HONOR'MEMORY
OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
Representatives of historical, patriotic
and art societies will honor the memory
of John Quiney Adams late this after
noon by holding memorial services on
the spot, now marked by a bronze plate,
where the great statesman, who became
the sixth President of the United States,
fell fatally stricken In the then halls of
Congress.
Senator David I. Walsh of Massachu
setts and Senator Caraway of Arkansas
will deliver eulogies describing the last
scene of the great statesman's life,
which was enacted while in his seat in
Congress. Senator Caraway will tell
how Adams, under a sudden stroke,
sank down in his seat when the Speaker
of the House was about to begin a
speech, and his last words were:
"Thank the members of the House. This
Is the last of earth. I am content."
Representative Frederick Dallinger,
formerly a professor at Harvard Uni
versity, and who has been a life-long
Intimate of the Adama family, will also
speak, giving intimate, family stories
about the former President.
The memorial program was arranged
by Miss Byrd Mock, who has arranged
a series of memorial services for the
"Makers of America." among whom she
places musicians; writers, painters and
sculptor* on an equal footing with
former Presidents of the United States
and other distinguished statesmen.

ITALY VAINLY LOOKS
FOR NEWPRENIIER
Dissolution of Parliament
Looms as Cabinet Ef
forts Fail.
By the As*oi~iatM Pnn.
ROME, February 23.?A "dark
horse" premier seems now to be the
only feasible solution of the Italian
ministerial crisis. since one after an
other of Italy's prominent politicians
have declined the king's Invitation to
attempt the formation of a cabinet to
succeed the Bonoml ministry.
All hope of a'combination of the
constitutional parties under the pre
mier appeared today to have been
abandoned. Each faction has adopted
a bitter attitude against the others,
casting the blame of the present sit
uation upon all but its own particular
group.
Dissolution of parliament again
looms threateningly on the horizon.
The only hope now seemi to be that
King Victor Emmanuel may call Al
berto Beneduce, minister of labor and
social economy In the Bonoml minis
try. or Giuseppe de Nava, minister of
the treasury, in a final effort to bring
about a constitutional majority be
fore resorting to dissolution of the
legislative bodies.
Rome parliamentarians think that
Signor Giolitti again may be asked
to form a cabinet and dissolve parlia
ment and conduct an election cam
paign. It was during Giolitti's in
cumbency of the premiership that the
elections were characterized by san
guinary confll"ts between the Fascis
ti and the socialists. Giolitti has the
enmity of the Catholics against him.
and they have thwarted his every ef
fort to organize a new government.
Their irreconcilability toward him is
due to his upsetting the Bonoml min
istry by insistent charge* that there
was excessve Catholic control In the
administration. The situation Is so
complex that any ministry formed
would be constantly threatened with
disruption by the slightest desertion
of any of its component parts.
Of all flsh the carp. In proportion to
its size, has the largest brain.

Some Committeemen Say
Bill May Not Be Reported
This Week.
The soldiers' bonus question was al
lowed to simmer today, the special
committee dealing- with the question
of ways of raising funds deferring
further sessions until tomorrow.
There was no indication when a de
cision would be reaohed, but some
committeemen said the bill probably
would not be reported out of the
committee this week or next.
There still seertied to be a disposi
tion to make haste slowly. Mean
time, it was said that there was a
growing sentiment among members
of the House to postpone action until
after the debt-refunding negotiations
between the United States and the
principal allied nations are put un
tie* way. In this connection Repre
sentative Longworth of Ohio, rank
ing member of the committee deal
ing with finances, said there was
reason to believe that some of the
refunded foreign bonds would be in
hand by July.
At this time sentiment In the spe
cial committee seems to be for re
porting out a bill carrying a manu
facturers' and wholesalers* tax
similar to that In Canada, but with
lower fates. This was discussed at
sessional yesterday and, it was said,
would be taken up when the commit
tee resumes its sittings tomorrow.
This or any other form of sales tax
is strongly opposed by approximately
one hundred House republicans, whose
leaders are mapping out an extended
campaign of opposition all along the
line.
