Washington, Nov. 23.-The civil serv-
ice commission will soon select test
case for prosecution In the courts TO
determine the extent TO which the civil
service law Is applicable in political as
sessment cases. There are many COM
plants of illegal assessments during
and preceding the recent campaign and
various cases have been sent TO the at
torney general for such action as may
be deemed expedient. Investigation
showed that. as usual. some of the al
legations of violations of the law could
not be substantiated. The commits
sioners are now casting about for
good case for test and they Will In
few days select one which they re-
gard as likely TO bring out in judi
cial decision the best results TO civil
service reform.
Intricate Questions Presented.
The cases present variety of intri-
cate questions as ~ the Jurisdiction OF
the law, and an effort will be made TO
have them judicially construed. The
main issue as TO whether solicitation OF
funds for political purposes by letter
as contradistinguished from solicitation
in person is violation Of the law.
There are other perplexing questions
such as the Interpretation of actual
jurisdiction of a federal building and
where only parts of buildings are used
for federal purposes. Notwithstanding
the number of cases where solicitations
of funds have been made by letter to
empolyes in federal buildings, the COM
missioners say the question has never
been tested in court, and consequently
there has been no decision on that
mooted point. 1t is asserted by many
persons that the law does not apply in
these cases and there can be no intim-
idation in such letters, or action pro-
hibited by law
Serious Consequences Involved.

New York stock Market.

Bradstreets review of the new York
stock market says: Prices have been
irregularly depressed during the pres
ent week. and the professional element
in the stock market has generally as
sumed a bearish attitude. The firm
condition Of the London money market
checks any exhibition of foreign spec
ulative interest in our stock, while our
own outside purchasing has apparently
been replaced by disposition TO real
ize profits or 10 liquidate holdings Of
long stock. There has consequently
been considerable pressure OF actual
holdings on the market. but ii must
nevertheless be admitted that the un-
settling influences have in the main
originated with the class Of operators,
large and small, who are permanently
active in the market.
The growing ease of the money mar
ket Offsets the firmness OF exchange
rates, and though current reports Of
railroad earnings have been generally
poor, il is argued that the effect of the
revival of business and industry will
probably result in better traffic returns
as the season progresses.
