WASHINGTON June l3-ChaIrman
Proctor. of the Civil Service Commie
lion, today submitted to Postmaster
. General Payne the report made by the
. Mml’ssion, at the request of the Post-
1,,mutor-Generai. with reference to the
, ~ charge of violation of civil service re-
' gniations in the Washington Post Of
tics. The inquiry covered the following
polntfl‘ I

1——Wbether all of the employees out
side the force of carriers were regul-
arly in the service and entitled to their
MM ens; , ‘

2~Whether the Civil Service rrrles
had been observed in the employment
and assignment of laborers; and, _

'3—Whether there had been a general
observanc‘ ,of the Civil Service law
and rules- 11 the administration of the
Washington Post Office during the in-
cumbeniy of the present postmaster.
In acco dance with the report and a
transcript of the testimony. Mr. Proc-
torpresentod a summary of the tind-
ings. This summary concludes as fol-
I. . lows:
" “A departure from the observance
of the Civil Service rules appears in
the promotions at certain employes In
the Washington Post Office which have
been directed by the department al-
though reports of efficiency are neith-
er requested nor received by the de-
partment. A case in point Is that of
a lady who was nominally appointed
In‘ the Moorestnwn, New Jersey, pest
ofilce. but never left the Washington
Post Otlce, who owed her appointment
to the classification transfer method;
was promoted from September 1.1900
to July 1, 1901. from 8600 to 81,600 per
annum by direction of the department;
and In doing the work formerly done
by an employs who received a compen
nation of only $1 000 per annum.

The information disclosed by the In-
vestigation seems .to warrant the
statement that appointments to clasel-
fled positions In the Washington Post
Office without examination, by the de

vlous method of appointment in small
unclassified offices or In offices about
to be consolidated , and subsequent
transfer. and the appointments of
those laborers, who were appointed
and separated during the sdmiuistrub
ion of the present postmaster, show
u wide departure In policy from a strict
regard for the public interest. and at-
ford indications that the department
used the Washington Post Office for
political and personal purposes to an
extent which left the authority of the
Postmaster In transfers and appoint
mcnts of tbissort but little more than
nominal. and placed the office In many
respects in the relation of a bureau to
the department,

...9 investigation seems to show
clearly that most of the irregularities
rrcrcin set. forth were directed by the
department or requested or suggested
by btgh departmental officials, and In
either case came to the Postmaster
with an the force of n direction. With
the exception of the appointment of
eight laborers afterwards separated.
three clerks appointed In the Good
Hope (District of Columbia) Post Office
just before Its consolidation, it appears
that Postmaster Merritt did not inlti
ate any of these improper appoint-
ments or assignments.

The investigation indicates that the
employee who entered the service by
transfer and without examination are,
In general, Inferior to those appointed
through competition. The Investlga
lions made by the commission show
that many of the persons who entered'
the service by transfer had failed upon
competitive examination, were from
states which were In excess of the ap-
portionment, or had not passed with
sufficiently high grades to be reached
for appointment by the regular metb~
ods.

Among the employee In the depart
ment or In the post office service who
were brought into the classified ser-
vice wltbin the last few years by clue-
sIfication. having been appointed with-
out examination under the rules, were
thirty war emergency employee clas-
sified by the act of April 28. 1902.
twelve made permanent under para.
groph 17 of Rule VIII. and 338 classir

fled In.the rural free delivery scrvlm .

on November 27, 1901.

The appointments under the circum-
stances above set forth resulted In a
congestion of the service. and when
a reduction Is to be made the employee
appointed for political or personal
considerations-yarn cared for. some
times at the expense of persons up-
oointed ttpon merit and without In-
fluence. in relieving the branches of
the service thus crowded with em~
ploy-es. the transfers are made "to other
parts of title service, to the injury of
ellgiblcs In line for appointment by
reason of their ascertained fitness.

The passing of the war emergent-v.
the amendment .on December ll. 10012
of tbc,rule relating to transfers. and
the new provisions of the revised rules
which became effective on April 15
1903. will, It Is believed. prevent the
continuance of these abuses in the
classified service: and the adoption.
'ii the earliest practicable. date. of
regulations for the employment of la-
borers In the Washington postofiice.
in accordance with the executive order
of March 26. 1903. will, there Is reason
to hope, put the employment of labor-
ers on the basis of fitness and the
needs of the service."

Nearly all bf the clerks and messen-
gers In the rural free service who were
covered Into the classified service were
In positions In Washington. D C. One
hundred and thirty- three of them were
appointed prior to July 1.1902: 26 were
appointed In the four months immedis
fely preceding the classification: and
56 were appointed in the 26 days pre-

:eding classification. How many of
these were appointed for reasons other
than the needs of the service it Is of
course. impossible for the commission
to determine. but that the service was
packed with employees in the interests
of individuals Is indicated by the fact
that the number of appointments In
he month of the classification was
more than twice as great as for the
preceding four months.

There was no necessity of anticlpa- ‘

ting the needs of the service by an ex-
cessive number of appointments Just
before classification. for the commie

., stun had registers of eligibies at that

time which were ”ample

reports of the trial of the trolley strik-
ers. accused of assault with intent to
murder led to the honor of u warning

by Attorney O'Neill, of counsel for ibo
defense today. during tho bur meeting
in the Superior Court room. Mr.
O'Neill Informed a reporter who was
present that If the latter wrote any
more articles on the trial uud colu-

merited on It, the attorney would
bring Irltn before the court for cort-

it Is understood that this warning
grow out of an Interview between

state and the defense, at which the
judge informed counsel that u juror
had told him that be [the juror) burl
received a marked copy of 11 paper dos-
cribing the. events of the trial, and
commenting on them. and also contain-
ing an articletto the effect that a fund
of 310.000 had been raised to" the de-
fense of the strikers. and that t'-.- ' my
had been purup to disagree. Other
jurors also, It was said, hatl received
similar marked ctmlcs. Although At-
torney O‘Neill, for the defense. wished
to have the case adjourned so that
there could be an Investigation, Judge
Thayer advised that It be allowed to
go on, and the advice was followed.
The trial will be continued next Tues-
