CONGRESS MISLED ON WELCH PAY BILL
PURPOSELY
CONFUSED,
SEN. DALE
CLAIMS
Congress was misled by the
personnel experts of the execu
tive branch of the Government
in the drafting of the Welch
bill to increase the pay of
Federal employes, Senator
Porter H. Dale of Vermont,
chairman of the Senate Civil
Service Committee, declared
foday.
Senator Dale charged that . the
Government departments had pur
pogely confused Congress on the pay
situation and established a compli
cated system of salary schedules In
order to keep control of the pay situ
ation and prevent Congress from en
forcing its will.
i To Back Law Change
He said the raises granted under
the Welch law were not in accord
ance with the intentions of Congress
and announced that he will sponsor
a move to correct and amend the
law.
The Welch law, as it finally passed
Congress, was very crude. Senator
Dale said. It was necessarily so be
cause of the hurry in which it was
written, he said.
"I believe, however, that there
was a deliberate attempt on the part
of the departments to keep us con
fused and prevent us from under
standing the pay schedules.
Not This Session
•'They told us that if we wrote
ths law In such' away It would
hav® certain results, but when we
wrote ths law and parsed it that
way they interpreted it in another
way and, as a result, the raises
that Congress intended to give were
not granted.”
Senator Dale was not very opti
mistic about the chances of amend
ing the Welch bill in the coming
short session because of the pressure
of national legislation.' He said,
however, that there is a strong
sentiment on the committee to cor
rect the bill and. that it will un
doubtedly be done sooner or later.
BENEFIT - BRIDGE PARTY
The auxiliary board of regents of
Trinity College will sponsor a bridge
party to be held at 2 p. m. Monday,
at Wardman Park Hotel. Proceeds
will go to. the students' fund.

HOBBED OF
522.D00
Another chapter in the cycle
of hold-ups which the under
world is aiming at Washing
ton’s sporting world, came
last night when William Mc-
Kinney, who races a string of
horses at Bowie, was attacked
and robbed of 4850 in his au
tomobile in front of his home,
624 Thirteenth St. N. E.
McKinney wax'the victim of a
carefully- worked-out plot involving
a quartet of “atick-up” men who
had watched his operations at the
race track. He was badly beaten
about the head by the butts of
revolvers as he sat at the steering
wheel of his car, and his assail
ants had no trouble in making a
getaway. - *
The robbery of McKinney Is the
fourth of a series of depredations
levelled at local sporting men, in
cluding Maurice “Dutch” Irwin,
who slugged and beat off an as
sailant on October 8, last, thus
saving |«,000| in his wallet, and
F. H. Smith, race horse owner,
at Laurel, who was robbed of
112,000 last month by two masked
men.
122,000 Obtained
The large sums of cash fre
quenlty carried by gaming and
sporting men on their persons is
believed by police to be one of the
reasons why the gunmen and the
"stick-up” men appear to be con
centrating upon them. More than
122,000 has been obtained by these
marauders from the sporting fra
ternity within the past six weeks,
it is estimated, and the police so
far have been able to make no
arrests.
McKinney had reached the curb
In front of his home after the Bowie
races closed last night when two
men tore loose the aide curtains on ;
his automobile, reached in and beat
him with revolvers. As he slumped
over the steering wheel they
“frisked” him of his money.
Two Make Attack
Two men made the attack, but a
third man stood close by with a gun
aimed at McKinney’s head. An au
tomobile, with a motor running, was
across the street, a fourth man at
the wheel. The bandit car' bore
District license tags, according to
W. B. Gordon, of 1322 Emerson St.
N. W., who passed by at the time.
Thirty stitches were necessary in
treating McKinney’s wounds on the 1
head at Casualty Hospital. He was ;
removed to his home late last night.
There is no sign of a skull fracture,
it i» said.
McKinney’s horses are Crossword,
Honk, Sniper and Marvelite. He says
he has no idea of who his assilants
were and doos not know how they
learned lie was carrying money from
the Bowie track. #
Gaming Holdup Puzzles
Another episode which is puzzling
local sporting men is the hold-up of
a gambling establishment on Four
teenth St. N. W.. last Tuesday. Sev
eral thousands of dollars ttere taken
from the tkbles, it is said, but a
mutual friend nf the proprietor and
the two robbers is said to have ar
ranged a return of the funds. This
“friendly affair” is entirely outside
the realm of police records.
Thomas C. Moore, well-known local
sportsman, placed 15.000 in the safe
of the Arlington Hotel on October
28, and the police have been in
formed that it was abstracted at or
about the same time a clerk in the
employ of the hotel disappeared. The <
money has not been recovered.

NO, 337—GRANT SCHOOL
The Grant School on G, between
Twenty-first and. Twenty-second Sts.
N. W. Is one of two schools in the
District that"*were named for men
before the men so honored died.
The school was built and put into
service in 1882, while Gen. U. S.
Grant, Civil War hero and later
President, died in 1883.
Grant and Weightman schools
were the earliest schools in what
was then known as "Foggy Bottom.”

CONVICT
STINTS
Representative Ernest W<
Gibson, of. Vermont, chairman
of the Gibson subcommittee
of the House, accompanied by
Herbert D. Brown, chief of
the Bureau of Efficiency, is
making an inspection of the
District’s penal institutions at
Lorton and Occoquan, Va., to*
day.
. The purpose of tb* inspection is
to see whether the manufacture of
materials for the District Govern
ment can bo increased without harm
to the inmates of the workhouse
and the reformatory.
Better For Work
Brown has consistently contended
that the two institutions could bo
made almost self-supporting if the
prisoners were kept busy, and that
at the same time the inmates would
be better off than if not given
enough work to do.
W. W. Barnard, superintendent
of the District’s penal institutions,
has contended that the inmates of
the two institutions were busy
enough and that the purpose of
their working was not merely to
make money. He has opposed the
movement to make “sweatshops”
out of the institutions. -
* Sees For Hintself
Gibson is anxious to see for him
self what the situation is. He be
lieves that it is best to keep in
mates of penal institutions as busy
as possible, not only for the sake
of economy, but for their own good.
It he agrees with Brown that
more work can be accomplished at
the institutions, he will seek appro
priations to purchase the necessary
equipment and machinery.
