VIOLATING CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
WAsIIINGToN, Oct. 3l.-1he Civil Serv-
ice Commission has reported 10 the At
torney-General, for prosecution under
the law against soliciting political contri-
buttons, the case OF Samuel Thomas,
Treasurer OF the Republican State Com
mittee OF New \ ork. Three oflenses are
charged in sending letters soliciting Coy
ernment clerks in the city. Documents
are forwarded in each case. The letters
specify no sum, but ask the recipient to
forward such amount as he may choose
toward the legitimate expenses of the
campaign.
Attorney-General Miller, when uues-
toned on the subject this afternoon, said
he had just received the papers in the
case, and had not had time to examine
them. He added that he would investi-
gate the case himself, but would not act
until Thomas had been given an oppOr-
tunlty to answer the charges.
NEW York, Oct. 3I.-The report from
Washington, alleging that the Civil
Service Commission had recommended
the criminal prosecution Of Treasurer
Thomas of the Republican State Commit
tee, was treated lightly at the State head
quarters to-day. Chairman Hackett said
there was nothing in the charges. The
letters sent by the committee to Republi-
cans asking for contributions to legiti-
mate campaign expenses are exactly such
letters as Tammany and the Democrats at
large are sending cut. There is no de-
mand made for money, and recipients of
letters are not addressed as Otficeholders.
