WASHINGTON, July 16.-The civil SER
vice commission has made public its re-
port of the investigation of the Mil
waukee p0stoffice and condemns the adj
ministration of that establishment in
very vigorous terms. Among other
things the report says: "In short the
official records show beyond possibility
of dispute that the lists of eligfbIes were
twisted and garbled in almost every con-
ceivable manner in order to produce
swindling certificati0ns whereby GER
tain men could be registered, although
entitled to appointment and other men
appointed, although having no rightful
claim to the chance" The commission
concludes that Mr. PauI's ..conduct
merits severest punishment. His
further continuance in the Office would
be q great misfortune and we recon-
mend his immediate removal"
