Mr.. Porter Again Points Out Why Civil

Mr.. Porter Again Points Out Why Civil
Service Rules Should Not Govern 1t.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The attention of
the Superintendent of the Census Mr.. Port
er, was to-day called to the letter recently
sent by the United States Civil-service Com
mission to the President. in which they
ask that appointments of the census.
Office employees may be made through the
commissioners and su ggesting that prefer
ence be given to the employees of the last
census. Mr.. Porter said that he was certain
that it was the intention of the trainers of
the law not to place the Census Office under
the civil-service law. The principal reason
for this, he said, was that the great bulk Of
the census employees were employed for
very short time, and it was conceded that
it would be wholly improper to bring peO-
service lasting probably not longer than six
months. Under the civil service the rules
in regard to State quotas would. of
course, have to be followed. Then again,
he said. the appointment of the four or five
hundred special agents was made as rule
from the enumerat0rs who had shown
ability and energy. The enumerators were
employed for only a few DAYS, and their APP
pOlDtment as special agents extended their
service to several months.
AS to the appointment of experts and high
grade clerks, Mr.. Porter said that of the
twenty y-fve decided upon. twenty had been
engaged in the work of the last census, but
in nearly every case these men had not ap-
piled for positions, but had been sought out
and urged to take them. Had the service
been called upon for certifcations
to these positions probably not one of
those who have agreed TO serve, and whose
expert knowledge made their services of
special value, would have been secured.
The question, Mr.. Porter said. would be
his IMr. Porter'sl point of view, he did not
see any advantage to be gained by ap-
pointing the employees of the census
through the Civil-service Commission. On
the contrary he was of the opinion that it
would tend to render the service inefficient
The Census Office had special work to do
In a certain limited time, and he was of the
opinion that the trainers of the law were
right in deciding that it ought not to be
placed under the same conditions as the
permanent executive Offices.

KILLED BY HIS WIFE.
Richard Aliens Death Explained by the Con-
fessiOn Of Revolving Crime.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Ind, June 19.-One Of the
most revolving crimes ever committed in
Daviess county has just been brought to
light by the confession of the murderess.
On the 18th day of November, last. Richard
o. Allen, an aged farmer. living five miles
southeast of this city, was found tied to a
tree near his home. with his throat cut
from ear to ear. The general supposition
was that he had taken his own life. He
was buried and the matter little thought
of until a few days ago, when the mystery
was developed by confession made by the
mans wife. Charlotte Allen, to two col
Ored servants From the confession of
the murderess, she and her hus-
band had had trouble as to who
rightfully should own their little farm, and
in order to settle the dispute, she gave him
morphine in his tea on the fatal day and
drove him into the garden where he fell in
deep sleep. She then procured case
drugged husband was lying on his face.
She tied the rope around his body, turned
him over and making several slashes at his
throat severed the head half from the neck.
She then dragged him to tree and tied
him there. After this was done. she wrote
in the sand, Choose to die by my own
hands, The woman went to the house
changed her clothes and then gave the alarm.
Mrs. Aliens confession was made when
laboring under religious excitement. She
is seventy years old.

ASYLUM MISMANAGEMENT.
A Chicago Judges Severe Arraignment of an
Institution Run by Politicians.

CHICAGO, June 19.-Judge Prendergast,
this morning, rendered his decision in the
matter OF the investigation into the Cook
County Insane Asylum. The investigation
was based on petition to release Dora
Willard from the asylum. This matter the
Judge first disposed of by issuing an order
committing the patient to the State In
frmary at Kankakee. The decision is a
long one. but its central idea is expressed
in the judges reference to the political in
fuences which were allowed to control the
Cook county asylum. The institution, he
says. must be removed from the influences
of partisanship in order that the sweet
waters of charity may not be polluted by
politics. The Judge recommends that the
asylum be removed from the present site.
and that a special session of the State Leg
islature be called to attend to the matter.
The Judge reviewed the evidence at great
length, and pointed out the dreadful results
arising from the combined influences of
''For thirty years" said the Judge, this
asylum has stood very low in the estima-
tion of those familiar with the science of
insanity and the treatment of the insane.
It finally achieved the bad pre-eminence of
gress of physicians, at Washington. as be-
ing the worst asylum on the continent"
Pointing out the defects of political mis-
management of such an institution, the
Judge said: 'It is plain that very many,
If not all. of the evils exist
ing in this asylum come from
the fact that the officials and
attendants are appointed by a political
body. the membership Of which is con-
stantly shifting and changing. To great
extent. officials attendants and workmen
have been and are appointed on political
grounds The constant care of these per-
sons Is 10 retain their places and they cul-
tivate the friendship of the powers that be,
instead OF studying toe increase their eff
cheney and skill as attendants upon the in
sane. All the evidence demonstrates be-
yond doubt that there can be no perma-
nent remedy while the insane asylum is
under the control of the county board. The
present county board has done better than
its predecessors. but the system is vicious"
IT Is because there is no hope of remedy in
the city or county, the Judge says. that he
recommends special session of the State
Legislature t6 pass a law putting all such
institutions under control Of the State.

THE AMENDED RULE.

1t Was Fully Approved by Both the President
and Civil-Service Commissioners.
Special To the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The amendment
to the civil-service rules, providing that all
soldiers and sailors who were discharged
by the last administration may be restored
to the civil service without the formality of
an examination, was signed by the Presi-
dent yesterday. A statement has been pub
ished to the effect that this amendment
was opposed by the President. and that he
had to be won over to its support, but this
statement is untrue. The original propo-
sition was to amend the rules SO
that any one who had been discharged from
the civil service might be restored when
ever the appointing power saw fit to do so;
but the President thought this change
would be too general He called the atten-
tion of the commission to the fact that the
statutes particularly provided for prefer
ences to ex-soldiers and sailors of the Union
army. and he thought that with this as
groundwork the rules of the commission
might so be amended as to permit the
change. SO as to provide for the reinstate-
ment of ex-sOldiers and sailors. This view
met with the approval of the commissioners,
the rules were amended and signed by the
President, and the amendment is now in
effect

the President. and BanQuets in the Evening

WASHINGTON, June 19.-At the second
days session of the National Camp, Patrl-
otto Order Sons of America, a communica-
ton was received from the "Society of the
Sons of the Revolution" which was organ
lied in New York city on the SOth of April
last, as the result of the patriotic senti-
ments aroused by the centennial observ-
ance in that city, conveying fraternal
greetings. The secretary was instructed to

the success of the Sons of America.

death of Charles IL. Kraig, of Denver, Col,
who was elected as a delegate to the Colo
RADIO State Camp, and was a prominent
man in that State. The report of the COM
mittee on changes in the constitution was
made, and partially considered. One of
the amendments adopted was changing the
terms of delegates to the National Camp
from two years to one. At IL O'Clock the
camp took recess until 2:30 p. NJ. The
delegates called upon the President in
body at CLOCK. This evening the BAN
quet was held at the Riggs House. To-mor-
row two sessions will be held, and on Fri
day there will be parade.

It Takes Steps to Embrace Within It's Ranks
All Classes OF Iron or el-WOrkers.
PITTsBURG. June 19.-The Amalgamated
Association convention to-day granted the
application of the bOlt-makers for admission
to the organization. This will necessitate
q b0lt-maker's scale. The general strike as
sessment measure. suggested by the Amer
lean Federation of Trades-unions, whereby
all members of the federation are assessed
in case of strike in any of the trades-un-
ions, was adopted. An amendment was
also passed permitting the admission of
large number of men about the mills who
heretofore could not join the organization.
Every body who is employed about the mills
can now be freely admitted, with the ex-
ception of common laborers. This latter
question is left TO the discretion of the local
lodges to whom the laborers may apply
for admission. The association which has
been so conservative has finally reached
out its arms. and embraces every class of
iron or steel-workers. The change will
make the Amalgamated Association a
for the membership of wOrkmen who could
join the Knights of Labor, but owing to the
laws of the order could not join the Anal
gamated Association.
The Eastern delegates who have been
considering the scale for the Eastern divis-
ion, made their report yesterday. The
scale was adopted by the convention, and
is the same as last year. 1t is on basis of
81 ton on 2-cent Philadelphia card. The
Association and Carnegie & Co., of the
Homestead steel-works, is now in session.
1t is generally believed that a satisfactory
settlement will be reached
