BALTIMORE. Nd. Nov. 22.-Presi-
dent and Co-Reccivcr John X. Cowan,
OF the Baltimore & Ohio railway. said
yesterday that the report of Expert g&-
amirer Little Is now In the hands oil
the printer and that copies of II VIII be
distributed among the stockholders
within 4 week.
The report, it is said. will make no
charge, save possibly that OF misman-
agement, against the Mayer admins
tratIon. The method Of keeping the
books. however. Is criticised, and Inc
report is said to show that for morf
than five ycars past unearned dlvl-
dcnds have been paid with money Dor
rowed for the purpose, and upon COL
lateral belonging to the company; that
the books have been kept in such man
ner as to Indicate q more favorable
financial condition than actually exist
ed, and that other Irregularities OF q
minor nature were discovered. The
most important feature of the report,
however, Is said to be thai 1t reveals
the fact that even under the conditions
which hen existed, the system wa
fully able to pay Its interest and otiE.r
fixed charges out OF Its earnings. and
thatif the dividends had not been paid
as stated the road would have been
sclf-supporting. and the necessity OF a
reccivcrship would have been avoided.
As soon rs the report Is made public

CIVIL SERVICE Law.



WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 22.-The
civil service commission Will soon selee.
a test case for prosecution in the
courts to determine the extent 70 which
che civil service law Is applicable In
political assessment cnseg. There wore
many complaints OF Illegal assessments
during and preceding the recent cam
paiSn and various cases have been
sent TO the Encouragement for such
action as may be deemed ~expedient.
Investigation showed that, as usual,
some OF the allegations OF violations OF
b law could not be s%ubstantlated.
The commissioners nre now casting
about for n good case for a test and
they VIII In a few days select one which
they regard as likely to bring out In q
JUDICIAL decision the best results of civil
variety of intricate questions as to the
Jurisdiction OF the law, and an effort
Will be made to have them judic!ally
construed. :.
The main issues as to whether So
cllcitation Of funds for political pur-
poses BY letter as contradistlnguished
from solicitation In person Is n viola
ton OF the lazy. There nrc other per-
picking questions. such as the inter
probation of actual Jurisdiction of a
federal building, ard where only parts
or buildings are leased for federal use,
Notwithstanding the number OF
cases where solicitation OF funds has
been made by letter to employees In
federal buildings. the commissioners
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 those cases and
there can be no intimidation In such
letters or action prohibited by law.
The commission realizes the possibly
serious consequences involved in a de-
elslon adverse to Its contention that the
letters are barred by Law In view of the
opportunity 'thi5 would offer for OBJ
talilng funds for political purposes. Its
position Is TINT failure to push the
matter Is merely putting or the issue,
and that q positive and conclusive In
depreciation OF the law as 1t stands is
necessary. By determining the appllca-
billy of the law on the various points
of cor~tention-the case involving OF
most which will be selected-thc COM
mission feels its work will be strength
ened. The weak points as found may
then be remedied by legislation, which
will be urged. Though the prosecution
of the other cases will be in the usual
procedure Of the department of Justice,
the test case will be expedited and the
commission will be allowed to select
any special counsel 1t desires to rep
