HAMMOND, Ind, Oct. 2S.-John Pho
trouski, late of Company F, Fifteenth

mond. The night of his marriage he was
attacked by a gang of eX-strikers and in
defending himself he shot and killed John
Kyojak and seriously injured HYMN Kvo-
koski. The coroner's jury returned YER
dict of justifiable homicide, but Piotrouski
brooded over the affair ever since and at
times drank heavily. While on one of these
sprees yesterday he attempted to kill his
wife and child, but was frustrated and later
killed himself.

Political Assessments.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-There are a
score or more cases of complaints of polit-
fcA assessments employees in federal
offices now on file awaiting the action Of
the Civil-service Commission. In practical
ly all of these cases correspondence has
been going on between the commission and
parties interested where the violations of
the civil-service law took place. Most of
the charges affect Offices in the West,
though there Is relatively large number
in the East. More recent charges have
come from Worcester, Mass, and from
Pittsburg, Pa. At the latter place the
complaint alleges threatening circulars
were forwarded to letter carriers and other
employees in Allegheny county by Chair
man Garman, of the Democratic commit
tee. and County Chairman Hawley, of
Pittsburg. All of these cases will be con-
sidered by the commission together, as
soon as possible, and a test case for the
vindication of the sivil-service laws arrived
at and vigorously prosecuted. In many cases
1t has been difficult to secure proof and the
commission has been acting with great eau
ton. Delay in investigation has been
caused by the inadequacy of numbers in
the official force in the field, as the regular
examinations throughout the country are
taking up much of their time.
