S. P. Bartlett, Federal Em
ploye, To Hold Place
With Illinois Board.
President Taft today vyalved the
Executive order of January 17; 1873,
prohibiting Federal employes from
holding State, Territorial, or munici
pal offices. In the case of Sylvester P.
Bartlett. Held Superintendent of the
Bureau of Fisheries.
Under the order today, Mr. Bartlett
may become secretary of the 'Illinois
Fish Commission, and at the same
time hold his Job with tho Govern
ment While an exception of this sort
Is not unprecedented. Presidents rare
ly have used their authority to per
mit a Federal employe to hold two
positions at once.
In thlB case the Civil Service Com
mission mado an investigation of the
situation, and found that It would
be a great service to the Illinois Fish
Commission to have the Federal em
ploye on its staff. Also It would pro
mote the work of the Bureau of Fish
eries to have this employe co-operating
with the Illinois commission.
The American Church Institute,
headed by Bishop Greer, today Invited
President Taft to address the Insti
tute in New York on November 12, at
the Church of St. John Tho Divine.
Mr. Taft has the invitation under
consideration.
The announcement was made at the
White House this morning that the
President would receive a detail of
the Fourth Regiment. Maryland Divi
sion, United Boys Brigade of Ameri

House at 2:30 o'clock, August 10.
Col. H. Clay Ward, commanding the

Tho officers at tho army aviation
school spent the morning In completing
topographical work, namely, a map
showing tho course they will take for
cross-country flights to Baltimore,
Frederick, and Annapolis, Mil., and
Fort Myer being completed.
Tho details making up these majia
were obtained by the officers while do
ing practice scouting work In their
aeroplanes. The pictures which were
taken wero all developed today, and
arrangements are being made to take
more pictures of the country over which
the aviators fly.
The officers expect to make flights late
this afternoon, and both Captain Beck
and Lieutenant Klrtland will fly for
their pilots' licenses If the weather
conditions permit.
Member of the Geological 8urvey are1
taking much Interest In the pictures-and
maps made by the officers while flying.
Lieutenant Klrtland believes that
with twelve or fourteen Alms he could
get pictures of the country over which
a day's march had been planned.
The pictures will be of great eervlce
to commanding officers who are taking
troops through a new territory, aa the

which would be of more service -than

Owners of vault privileges In the Dis
trict will havo to pay an annual rental
to the District government if a bill
which Is before the District committee
of the Senate becomes a law. In a
favorable report, the Commissioners
suggest several changes in the bill and
urge the need of Its adoption.
If tho bill becomes a law, persons who
use the spuce under sidewalks will have
to pay rental.
In a number of Instances the District
hus actually been put to expense be
cause of these vaults, and by reason of
the caving In of parts of streets which
vaults are under, actions for damages
have been brought against tha local
government.
A formula for the assessment of the
rental is provided In the bill. As this
stands now, with suggested changes by
the Commissioners, the amount of tho
rental Is to be obtained by taking the
number of square feet In the nrea of
the vault or excavation, multiplying It
by the value per square foot of the ad
Joining property as assessed, and then,
taking one-half of one per cent of this.
No rental Is to be less than J5. however.
The tr.easura la to go Into effect No
vember 1 next If passed. It is doubt
ful, however, if It can be acted on until
next scs&lon.
The Commissioners say the District
will derive considerable revenue from
this source If the measure Is passed.
