One hundred 500-watt lamps would be required for the illumination of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, C. 08. Murphy, vice president and general manager of the Merchants' Heat and Light Company, declared today. In answer to the suggestion of R. R. Hand of Chicago, that the monument be flood-lighted. Mr. Murphy writes to The Times as follows: “In today's Times there appears an Item stating that Mr. R. R. Hand, of Chicago, an accountancy expert, has great admiration for our wonderful city, hut cannot understand why the city or State does not Illuminate our marvelous Soldiers and Sailors' Monument. “Mr. Hand 6tates further “that four, or maybe only two, lights could be Installed that would Illuminate the Monument clear to the top of the shaft.” “It requires one hundred 500-watt flood lights when the Merchants’ Heat and Light Company formerly donated the electric current. Mr. Hand himself does not appreciate the size of our Monument. “The lighting was discontinued when the United States Fuel Administration ordered that all unnecessary lights be shut off In order to save coal and help win the war."

MAY CLASSIFY EMPLOYMENT IN STATE OFFICES Propose Regulation of Women’s Working Conditions. A move for the classification of wages, hours, and working conditions of women employed In various departments of the State Government has been suggested by heads of departments. Heretofore the number of hours and pay for women has been left largely to the discretion of each department and no uniformity existed. Under the new proposal three classes, according to training, experience and abillly, would be established. Those in Class A would receive pay of from $75 to ?I'K> a month: Claes S, s9o to $11(1, and Class C, SIOO to $l5O. This would eliminate discrimination among employes ami would give each more individual opportunity, the Governor believes. Those who are clerks bookkeepers or stenographers would .be paltl accordingly. Uniformity of working hours was also considered. Some employes work from 8:30 to 4:30, others from S o'clock to 3, and some longer. Edward Farmer, dlretcor of the budget, reported to Governor McCray that progress is being, made toward establishment of the budget system as provided by the la*t session or the General Assembly. He said printed estimates of the appropriation requirements for each department would be ready before the Legislature meets In 1923.

INDEPENDENCE OF MANCHURIA CHANG’S TRUMP Defeated Mukden War Lord Massing His Troops on Lwan River. WU RECONSTRUCTS ARMY PEKIN, May 13.-Uhang Tso-Lin, defeated Mukden war lord, today was believed to be preparing to play his last card—the declaration of the Independence of Manchuria. His retreating forces, once more under discipline, are massed along the Lwan River. They occupy strong defensive positions at the point where the PeklnMukden ra'iroad crosses the Lwan River find Lwan Chow. (Lwan Chow is about 200 miles northeast of Tien Tain and is well within the great wall. It Is In Chihli province and more than 500 miles southwest of Mukden, capital of Feugtlen province, Chang's stronghold.) President nsu has offered Chang TsoLin'e office as Supertuchun of the three Manchurian provinces, to two men and appointment has been refused by both. There Is a definite feeling here that Chang Tso-Lin will never capitulate without a struggle. Developments since his defeat Indicate he never had a chance to fight for Pekin due to his betrayal by trusted generals. Because of the strategic position of Manchuria with reference to Siberia, Chang has the possible support of Japan which is another source of strength to be considered. Wu Pel Lu is busily engaged ’.n constructing his position. His main army Is located at Chung Laing Chen. He has appointed his best general, Feng Yuh Slang, as governor of Honan, ousti ing the former governor of the province on a charge of revolting against Wu’s authority. There have been no developments in President Hu's office to reform his cabinet. Candidates for the premiership are believed to be waiting a definite military dec'slon before coinmlttng themselves on the at oolntment. That dagger still exists from the south Is the telief here, although the situation there is clouded with uncertainty. Campaign for New Members Omitted The Mother’s day membership campaign. which the Mothers' Aid Society lias been in tie custom of holding nn--1 nuall.v. will be omitted this year. This announcement Is made by Mrs. 11. E. Elllnwood, president of the society, after conference with the directors of the Community Chest.
