Loeb, also of the Ohev Sholem Synagogue, was in dignant when he learned of his assistant’s arrest. He said: “He has been a rabbi in my synagogue for twenty years, and is a very decent, honest man. The congregation will demand the re turn of the sacramental wine, which was taken from his cellar, and which was-there legally.” Doctor Loeb criticised the prohi bition chief for employing a Jewish agent to buy*the wine, stating that Rabbi Kaitlin hsld been authorized to sell wine to any Hebrew who. signed the prohibition slips stating that it was to be used for sacra mental purposes only. The slips say: For Religious Purposes. "Rabbi Semuil Kaitlin is author toed from the Federal Prohibition Oommissiotier to procure for the Jewish members of the Ohev Bholem congregation, Fifth and I '-streets northwest, wines to be used -for sacramental and other religious “I, the undersigned, do hereby that I have ordered through Rabbi Kaitlin gallons of wine to be used for sacramental purposes during the approaching .-Jewish holidays.

STEWARD FLAYS EFFICIENCY RATING Farce, Declares President of National Federation of Federal Employes The taking of efficiency ratings of Federal employes, beginning to day, without consideration being given length of service, will mean another six months of suffering for all Government workers in Wash ington, -it was stated today by Luther C. Steward, president of the National Federation of Federal Em ployes. £Today is efficiency rating day in the departments—the semi-an nual exhibition of the imposition of arbitrary, wrong-headed fixed as sumptions by the Bureau of Effi ciency—working wholesale injustices on Federal employes within the District of Columbia,” he said. “From the standpoint of Federal employes in the District of Colum bia, about the only good thing that can be said about this efficiency rating day is that it marks an other mile-post on the road to ob lividn for the Bureau of Efficiency, Rating Called Farce “Until the administration of the efficiency ratings is placed in the hands of an agency that recog nizes the collective viewpoint of employes' as an important factor in personnel management, the ef ficiency rating farce staged by the so called Bureau of Efficiency today will continue to be a mill-stone around the neck of every Federal employe, instead of an Incentive to better work. “The Bureau of Efficiency has issued its mandate that a certain proportion of the employes In eyery bureau shall be rated within' cer tain fixed percentages, and this In spite of the general feeling on the part of rating officers that this does not represent a real gauge of the efficiency of the employes Ao be rated. “The efficiency ratings issued to day will be used as, the basis for Increases, decreases and dismissals between now and November 15. It has been apparent to everybody for a long time past that under the present scheme reductions in force have worked a terrible hardship on many veteran employes because no credit was given for length of service. Hundreds of employes have been dismissed in the recent past, many of them victims of this lack of common sense, as well as humane recognition of length of service, and yet the situation stands uncorrected. Dismissals to Continue. “Dismissals will continue for at least another six months without any consideration being given length of service, and the only alteration in the scheme as an nounced is that employee receiving the ‘average rating’ are not to be rated officially as ‘average em ployee’. -x, “Any efficiency rating scheme, to be successful, must be basically sound, and then Intelligently ad ministered. “The situation in the Federal service in the District of Columbia today shows a sad lack of both of these essential attributes.

Duke’s Divorce of 1905 Is Held Valid; Ex-Wife Loses NEW YORK, May 15.—The attempt of Mrs. Lillian N. Duke to have invalidated the divorce decree obtained against her twenty years ago by James B. Duke, the multi-millionaire to bacco magnate, was thrown out of the Supreme Court today by Justice Geigerich. The decree, obtained at the end of a trial in the New Jer sey courts, which was the sen sation of its day, was affirmed by the New Jersey Supreme Court, and Justice Giegerich in dismissing Mrs. Duke’s action today cited this as his chief reason. Mrs. Duke was a divorcee when the millionaire married her on November 29, 1904, she having been a Mrs. Lillian N. McCreedy. They went to Eu rope on their honeymoon, but in September of the following year Duke started divorce pro ceedings, naming Major Frank I.

To meet the smuggler’s latest drive, prohibition officials promptly ordered hundreds of additional agents into the New Tork and Vermont I territory to seize liquor ladden motor trucks.

CABINET FEARFUL OF ANTHRACITE COAL STRIKE IN SEPTEMBER MEN SEEK BIG PM BOOST Operators Demand Reduction From Present Scale—Fed eral Officials Investigating By HARRY WARD. President Coolidge and his Cabi net are frankly concerned over the possibility of a strike in the an thracite coal fields when the present wage agreement between the operators and the United Mine Workers expires August SO, it was learned today. The possibility of a strike hinges on the announced inten tion of the miners to ask for an increase of from 10 to 30 per cent over the present scale, while the operators are expected to in sist upon a reduction of any where from 10 to 30 per cent. Other Demands Expected. Along with the wage boost the miners undoubtedly will include a demand for the “check-off,” which provides for the withholding of Union dues from the pay envelopes of the men. The “check-off” strengthens the union's hands and the operators will put up a stiff fight to prevent it being put into effect. The Government will closely watch the negotiations for a new wage agreement and in the event a deadlock ensues undoubtedly will take active measures to insure a continuation of work in the hard coal regions. While stocks of coal at present on hand are ample to run the country for a considerable period, a strike in the anthracite fields would cause much inconvenience to those sections of the country where hard coal is almost exclu sively used for household and other purposes. Administration Hopeful. The first step in the process of negotiating a new wage scale will be taken in June, when the Tri district convention of the United Mine Workers meets in Scranton. This convention will frame and adbpt the demands to be submitted to the operators. The latter will then hold their policy meeting and formulate the action they propose to take when the two contending groups meet In some neutral point, probably Atlantic City, about July 15, to begin the negotiation of a new wage agreement. Administration officials are hope ful the negotiations will result in an amicable agreement. In some quarters it was pointed out the operators cculd hardly af ford to go before the country with a demand for a reduction in wages at a time when there is “a con stant cry of monopoly in the anthra cite fields.” Miners Are Busy. By the same toxen the miners are enjoying steady work while their brethren in the bituminous fields are only working part time, while ir some bituminoua fields the mines are entirely closed down for lack of a market, these observers say. In anticipation of a possible ces sation of hard coal mining after August 30, production is now nearly touching the 2,000,000-ton per week ir.a rk. It has been steadily rising since the week of April IS, when it was 1.567,000 tons. During the week of May 2 production reached 1,98‘,000 tons, making a total of 29,752,500 tens for the calendar year to date. Production of bituminous to date is approximately 154,475,000 tons.

While some Americans spend thousands of dollars to be pre sented to King George at court and through diplomatic intro duction, John Cownie, of Des Moines, lowa, brushed aside all formality yesterday and went up to the king and shook hands with him. King George and Queen Mary had come here to visit the ex hibition. While they were sight-seeing, a middle-aged man approached the king, put out his hand, and said: “How do you do, king; shake hands with America.” King George was astounded, according to by-standers, but smiled, shook hands and said: “I hope you and all Ameri cans are feeling well.” ,Queen Mary smiled at this. Cownie then said: “Meet my son, king.” Cownie presented his son, and King George shook hands with him. The lowan leaped into mo- mentary fame in London as thd result of his informal meeting with the king. All the after noon newspapers in the British capital made a feature of the meeting, characterizing it as an “astounding but humorous in cident.” Important work performed tn the Naval Academy.

4 JEAN ELIOT’S NEWS AND GOSSIP OF SOCIETY "CUPBOARD IS BARE 0 IN BERLIN New American Ambassa dor Must Refurnish Embassy v By JEAN ELIOT WHEN Doctor Jacob Gould Schumann, now in Wash ington for consultation with the President, reaches Berlin to take up his new duties as American Ambassador to Germany, he will find himself in pretty much the, same position as Old Mother Hub bard who went to the cupboard to find it bare. For when Ambassador Alanson B. Houghton was transferred from Ber lori to London he took his house hold goods with him; and when Warren Delano Robbins was made Charge d’affaires, with instructions to move into the embassy, he and Mrs. Robbins had to take up tem porary quarters at the Hotel Adlon while the embassy was made habit able. The Robbins’ own pleasant apart ment was let at the time to Mr. and Mrs. Reginald S. Foster, the latter the daughter of Mrs. Fred erick H. Gillett; and they found on inspecting the embassy that it con tained a few pieces of dining-room furniture, one rug of negligible value, twin wooden bedsteads, one iron bed and two divans! To such plights are diplomatic representatives of the United States reduced that before being able to receive -the visits of officialdom and their colleagues of the diplomatic corps they must first go through the throes of house furnishing, pre ceded in past years by the still more difficult task of house hunt ing. James W. Gerard leased the Swabach Palace on the Wilhelm Platz in the name of the American Government, but it had been com pletely dismantled by its owner, and when. the Gerards were -driven home by the war their household effects accompanied them. A great deal of money was spent by Mr.-Houghton in getting the em besy into condition comensurate with the dignity of the United States and it was generally con ceded to be one of the most at tractive centers in Berlin. But again it was 'doomed to go through the dismantling process when Mr, Houghton was sent to London. The Reginald Fosters, by the way, have fulfilled predictions made by jnany of their friends and are transferring their headquarters froth Berlin to Paris. Mr. Foster feels that he can transact his busi- banking, I be lieve —as -well there as in Germany, and it will certainly be a more at tractive home from the viewpoint of the former Frances Hoar, who loves the artistic and theatrical of which Paris is the center. SECRETARY KELLOGG BACK-: FROM ST. PAUL. The Secretary of State, Mr. Kel logg, returned to Washington today.

TOPEKA, Kans., May 15.—The trial of former Governor Jonathan M. Davis, charged with conspiracy and soliciting a bribe, entered its fifth session today with indica tions that it will continue into next week. The former governor is on trial for the alleged solicitation of a bribe from A. 1.. Oswald, of Hutch inson, Kansas, but up to this time no testimony bearing on this case has been introduced. The State’s attorneys so far have confined their efforts to trying to present testimony bearing on Davis’ actions in the Fred Pollman in which it is charged that Russell Davis, his son, was caught delivering a pardon to Pollman in exchage for $1,250. Pollman, former banker, who was sent to the penitentiary for forgery, and later granted an absolute par don by Governor Davis, was recalled to the stand when court opened?

MISSING GIRL RETURNED, DRUGGED, IN MOTORCAR PITTSBURGH, May 15.—Still in the grip of drugs, her body a mass of bruises, Helen Eckels, eighteen years old, telephone operator, of Braddock, a victim of abductors, was in a hospital tonight in critical condition. City, county and State authorities are searching the Pittsburgh dis trict for an automobile in which the girl, missing for nearly a week, was taken to her home early this morning. With the Alibi Artists A Cross Section of the i Daily Grind in Judge Schuldt’s Court. Read ’Em and Weep, By DONALD McDOUGAL. Economy. We see by the papers that the Traffic Directors office is going to have a system for tabulating automobile accidents, so he can find out what makes them hap pen. Then he can formulate regu lations, like the prceent headlight law. for instance, to prevent them. The work will be done by ma chines, that classify and count up the records at the rate of a hun dred and sixty cases per minute which sounds ominous. Os course, a large number of cases will have to be analyzed before any reliable conclusion can be drawn, and that’s why we're sorry the new code has cancelled a very useful regulation that was in the old one. Under the old regulation. If you slammed a pedestrian or smashed a car. and there was no one around that was conscious or not, and if you hit a car and. the owner or operator isn't present, you must give your name, etc., to by standers. If it’s late at night, and ‘there aren’t any bystanders, you should worry. The code doesn't require you to report your acci dent to the police under any cir cumstances. That will save the tabulating machines a lot of work that would have come to them under the old Regime, and the District will lose the benefit of the ex perience from those cases. Looks like the new code should be amended or something so’s to compel colliding motorists to re port to the police whenever they have an accident —in the excite ment you might forget to ask the bystander’s name, or he might be in California when the case comes to trial. Some More Os The Same We got a letter this morning that reads: “You’ve got onto a dangerous track. Book out! One of those friends of the fellows who owned poor and broken down old horses; or who walked on old creaking joints; was obliged to drink hemlock. Good luck to you and your, ex cellent work! But beware how you undertake to defend what is RIGHT.” We thank the writer for an en couraging and stimulating letter. We like to get communications of that sort —all except that hem lock stuff. That’s bad medicine,, for sure, and Socrates didn't drink it all. There’s lots of it kicking arpund yet—changed a good deal in the course of evolution, but still run ning strong. You never can tell when you're going to splash into some of it —you may find it in your pay envelope, or perhaps you’ll run across some in your empty ice chest. We’ve been drinking ft for forty years and it’s started to under mine our we've acquired the habit now and can’t leave off. Where we’ve got it on Socrates, he took things too seriously. He should have told those Athenian diet dictators that it's a cheap skate trick to say “Have one on me” and then tell the guest what to order. In the best circles you’re sup posed to pick out your own poi son, the only exceptions being in Greece (B. C., 469-399) and the United States (A. D.. 1920-?). If this be treason, bring on your hemlock. In Memoriam We took a run up Sixteenth street and back last night and saw only four dazzling lights— what you’d call really bad. The others all had their dimmers on, which made driving a lot more comfortable. That was the second night after the director had announced through The Washington Times that brought lights would not be required any more on Sixteenth and other electrically lighted streets. MODIFY RULING ABOUT VETS LEAVING HOSPITALS The Veterans Bureau issued or ders today modifying its recent or der which practically barred men in veterans hospitals throughout the country from receiving passes to leave the grounds.
