THE PIE GETS COLDER.
Secretary Long Comes Out Flat-Footed
For Civil Service.


Washington, d. c., Dec. 9.-Secretary
Long, Of the navy, in conversation with
an Associated Press representative to-
day, expressed the hope that the present
civil service system will not be impaired
He said he had entire sympathy with
the congressman who are brought d.
rectly in contact with applicants for
official position, but believes that the
president is right and should be sus-
tanned. He was of the opinion that the
great body of the people have no desire
to go back to the old system-certainly
not if their attention is called to the
merits of the case. With great defer
ence for the opinion of others who diff
fered from him, the views which, before
occupying his present position, he has
held with regard to the benefits of the
present system, had been confirmed by
his experience in the Navy Department.

Which Clears Up the Case Of the Old
Librarian.
Washington, u. c., Dec 9-An inves-
tigation now being made between the
officials of the Congressional Library
and the officials of the Postoffice De-
partment promises to throw a great deal
of light on the recent widely discussed
shortage of former Librarian AinSworth
K. Spoiford. 1t will be remembered that
an examination Of the Treasury Depart
meIt about year ago, showed Librar-
ian Spoiford to lie about $4,000 short
in his accounts. Few people who knew
him looked upon this at the time as any
thing more than an evidence of clerical
negligence in his department. Now it
appears that large part, if not all, of
| this deficiency, which Mr.. SpoffOrd
promptly made good out of his own
pocket, will be accounted for by great
batch of old money orders which the
absent minded Librarian forgot to cash.
The Postoffice Department gets a
| good many records and money orders
| from postmasters, which are never pre-
sented for payment by the parties re-
ceving them. The number of these I'M
cash%d orders addressed to the Librarian
of Congress are perhaps greater than all
of the others combined While Mr.
! Spolford was in Office, Mr.. Metcalf, chief
! of the Money Order div sion Of the
] postoffice, would notify the librarian
/ that there were orders on hand, which
/ he should cash. Some times he would
/ get few in response to these notifca-
tions and sometimes not. Since j. Rus
sell Young has been placed in charge of
| the library, he and the first assistant
| Postmaster General Heath have made Il
/ systematic search of the old library
records, and tucked away in one place or
another they have unearthed hundreds
| of old orders which the former librarian
had put aside and apparently forgotten,
and more are coming to light every day.
Just what the total sum will amount to
has not yet been estimated, but it prob
| ably will come near wiping out the dis
| crepancies in Mr.. Spoffords accounts
Some of the orders date back twenty-five
years, and one of the largest was for
| $50. Many of the orders have expired
| by limitation, but they will be turned
over to Mr.. Spofford up to the amount
that he has paid out in rectifying bis
own accounts.

should the committee cut the appropria-
