.- -.i- (National News Association) WASHINGTON, April 4. Reforms which will save the United States government $5,361,000 annually are demanded by President Taft in a message sent to congress today and designed to supplement the message on "economy and efficiency in government service" transmitted to both bouses on Feb. 5, last. President Taft has embodied in his message the conclusions of the commission appointed by him under authority of the acts of June 25, 1910, and March 3, 1911, to Inquire into needed reforms in government service. Some of the reforms urged by the president and the amounts, he claims will be saved are as follows: Placing of the postmasters upon the civil service vbasis, $4,512,900; placing of pension agents under the civil service, $62,006; extension of civil service to land office and curtailment of unimportant positions $200,000; consolidation of offices of six auditors of treasury department; placing lighthouse and life-saving services from under bureau of lighthouse of department of commerce and labor and separating them from the treasury department, $140,000; centralization of distribution of government publications, $242,000; discontinuance of official register and Mtabllshment of an organization outline, $45,000 on each issue. The Chief Feature. The chief feature of the message is i Qt president's reiteration that politics b removed from the postal service, so as to promote efficiency and effect an economy at the same time It is estimated that $10,000,000 Is lost annually by the government under the present system. It is the president's Idea to eliminate assistant postmasters and give the regular potmasters a salary 20 per cent higher than his assistant formerly received." : In the matter of pension agencies the message says that the work done ty a pension agent and chief clerk, whose combined salaries are approximately $6,000 could be accomplished by a civil service commissioner at a salary of from $2,100 to $3,000. Congress is asked to establish a merit system so as to secure more efficient work and to extend the classified service to the internal revenue and customs offices. Abolition of the revenue cutter service as a separate Institution from the navy is recom- - mended, the president asking why two ; navies" should be maintained. ' Both economy and efficiency, Mr. Taft ' states, demand that the revenue cutter service be placed under the navy de- ; partment. The president points out the advisability of establishing a uniform system of granting privileges among cabinet members for the purpose of travelings and a re-organization of -the

handling and filing of government correspondence so as to reduce the num

ber of letters handled.

;" The president recommends an appro-

r priation for the establishment of an

Tip-to-date printing office for the seven - departments of the government and a

further appropriation to allow a continuance of the work of the investigat Ing committee.

H1CKMANJVANTS AID Mayor Wires, "For God's Sake Send $5,000"

(National News Association) HICKMAN, Ky., April 4 Decribing conditions as "critical and pitiful," estimating the minimum of the refugees at 2,000 families and closing with an appeal, "for God's sake ask congress to appropriate $5,000 in cash," Mayor Dillon sent a telegram to Congressman Ollie James asking immediate aid for Hickman. The arrival of 2,000 government tents with express charges of $820 made it necessary for the council to hold a special session to borrow money from a bank to pay charges. The treasury "was empty. Gov. McCreary has appealed to the citizens of Kentucky for contributions. The first 'train to leave or enter Hickman in 3 days arrived here Wednesday afternoon. It carried relatives of many residents of this place who had feared for the safety of their loved ones.

BROKEN STEERING WHEEL THE CAUSE Cal Rodgers Lost His Life When He Lost Control of His Aeroplane. tQNG BEACH, Cal., April 4. A ' broken steering wheel fs blamed today : for the accident that cost the life of Cal P.-Rodgers, famous coast-to-coast aviator. Failure to control the machine caused by the accident, to the steering gear led to a 200-foot plunge into the t ocean within 500 feet of the spot where his coast-to-coast flight ended , and where a monument was to be erected to mark the spot. Mrs. Rodgers, who saw the accident and the mad scramble of 7,000 persons . for bits of the shattered aeroplane is resting easy at the Hotel Maryland in Pasadena today where she was taken after the accident. Mrs. Rodgers suffered a collapse and is attended by physicians. She fainted when the fatal plunge occurred and was unconscious until some hours afterwards. Mrs. Rodgers, in spite of the many accidents that have befallen her husband, one- of which kept him In a hospital for 28 days, did not believe he could meet bis death through an air accident She had frequently expressed the belief that he escape this fate. Rodgers himself had frequently said that he did not fear death in the air. He never lost his nerve after any of his accidents and was unusually the calmest man around his wrecked ma- . chines. Hi body lies in Pasadena today. Final funeral arrangements have not been "made. '' Hi mother, Mrs. H. S. Schweister, - who is in London was notified by cablegram.
