New YORK, Dec IA handsome young
woman, dressed ia a neat, close fitting suit
Of half mourning, stepped off q train Of the
Suburban Elevated railroad at the One
Hundred and Thirty-eighth street station
last night and began nervously 10 tumble

she whipped out a revolver, and pointing
it toward her left breast, she fired. She
was carried into the station house and a
call sent for an ambulance from the Harlem
hospital The young woman remained con.
scious, but when piled with questions as
TO who she was and the reasons for at
tempting TO end her life, would only state
that her name was Mrs Martha Losee.
She was taken 20 the hospital and placed

that her husband was in the hospital, too.

to himself, 1T is Martha" Losee was

Japanese Murderer WIN do Next
SING SING, N. ", Dec 1.-The execution
OF Wood, the colored murderer which WAS
to have occurred during the coming week
has been postponed The next execution
under the electrocution system will be
that OF Jugigo, the Japanese, whose case
was recently decided by the supreme court
OF the United States, and who was taken
to New York for resentence today War
den Brush determined the question OF
Woods immediate fate yesterday by noti-
flying the jurors and witnesses who had
been summoned that they would not be
needed AS the law requires that the wit
nesses shall have three days notice, IL
would not be possible 20 execute Wood be-
fore the middle OF The week even II the
warden believed that the appeal TO the SUI
preme court Of the United States did not
act MS stay Of execution. Who the wit
nesses were 20 have been the warden
would not say, and it is likely that their
names will not be made public when the
execution occurs, as they have asked the
warden not TO reveal them.
Warden Brush believes that the citation
for him TO appear before the supreme
court Of the United States in january acts
as stay OF execution. It WAS in mis- be-
lief that he notified the witnesses who
were summoned that they would moi he
needed. The warden in an interview last

account Of this stay they did not call him

The System Not Perfect, but Very Bens

The System Not Perfect, but Very Bene-
hcial, the Commission Says.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE annual re-
port Of the civil service commission was
made public today, and states that the
classified service has Rrownso as to include
at present more than $1,000. Considerable
space is devoted to the question Of re
movals in the classified service for partisan
reasons, and figures are given which show
that during the first year OF Mr.. Cleve.
lands administration between and s per
cent of the appointments made during the
previous administration were removed OF
resigned, and Of these who came into de
partmentsl service through civil service
examinations during Mr. Cleyeland's ad
ministration, a little more than per cent
were removed or resigned during the first
year Of the present administration.
Commenting on this difference Of bare
ly one-hslf Of | per cent. ia removals
during the first yeas of the opposing adj
uninistrations, the commission says; 1T Is
so small that it may be entirely disre
garded, for IL is likely to have arisen from
other than political causes. When only !
per cent Of the appointees Of one admins
tration are separated from the seviee dur
ing the first year of a succeeding admins
tratlon, II b safe to say that political con
siderations have practically Disappeared
as factors In making removals IN the
classified service OF The departments Al
Washington. Doubtless ia force OF s ,0OO
employees, where changes are continually
being made, some OF these changes are
made for improper reasons, but this i
true OF any system and Of any business,
public or private.
In the customs and postal services, the
result is less satisfactory. Comparing
the report says, 1.-THE percentages Of re.
movals ID the classified service ia each
postoflice with the number OF removals
made in the unclassified and excepted
places, tho difference Is astonishing Ia
one case the percentage ranges from q
IS ia she other from 46 10 over 80, and the
average is about seven times AS great
among those employees not protected by
the law as IL is among those who are pro.
teeted by the law.
1T would be difficult To advance any ar.
gument which would show more concln
sively the good effect that the law has in
preventing In the classified service clean
sweeps and removals for political pur
poses The portions Of the civil service
law interdicting political assessments tn,
report says, have not entirely stopped th,
evil, but have undoubtedly much abated it
OF the general result OF the operation Of
the civil service law, the report says Act
ual experience for seven years has shown
that j. produces on the whole better gov
ernmental administration than dOes ia,
patronage system, aud il UNNECESSARILY
betters the tone Of political life by making
the mass Of government employees simply
public servants and not adherents OF ths
party in power organized into disciplined
bodies for its support, and straining ever,
effort TO secure its continuance and su
premacy.n
