PENSION COMMISSIONER
IS HEARD.
WANTS THE LAW CHANGED
Ills Rest Men Came In Under the
spoiis System"-PonsIon Examin-
ing Boards. Tie says. ought Not
to BE In the CiassIned serv-
ice-suggests Tcn Iusrs'
Tenure OF once

WAsHiNGroN, Dec. .2L-Commis-
sioner of Pensions Evans appeared be-
lore the Senate committee on civil
service and retrenchment, which is
conducting an investigation into the
operation of the civil service system.
Mr.. Evans was questioned at length
by Senators Lodge and Pritchard
about the civil service system and it's
application to the pension Office force
He expressed the opinion that the law
did not accomplish the results its
friends insisted that It did The best
men in his Office were those who had
come in under the so-called "spoils
system. They did their duty, and
expected to hold their positions by so
doing.
The pension examining board S. he
said, ought not To be in the classified
service, as IL was desirable to secure
men as members OF such boards who
had had wide surgical experience -
army experience, IL possible and such
men would not enter into compe titiou
for the places with young men just
out of college. He thought, however,
that the entire system of appointing
the boards was wrong, and that all Of
them ought TO be under uniform
system OF appointment
The commissioner believed that the
head Of bureau was in the best quail
fed position to pass upon the efficiency
Of clerk, and that he ought not to
be hampered for removing a clerk for
inetiiciency. II permitted to do so he
could remove at least 100 clerks from
his Office without affecting the ef-
iciency OF the force
He thought it would be desirable
to have a definite tenure of Office. not
exceeding ten years, so that every
year about 10 per cent of new blood
could be infused into the force. This
would do away with the abuses re-
sulting from some clerks remaining In
office too long
The commissioner thought some re-
form would have TO be enacted. or the
country would have the inhiction of
civil pension list.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Two Opposing Kansas Delegations See
the President.

the President.
WAsnTNGToN, Dec. 2l.-Yeste rday
was Kansas day at the White house,
and both factions OF the politicians
Of the state who are here in search Of
patronage, had their innings before
President Mckinley Colonel d. r.
Anthony and Representative Curtis
were the first callers to get President
McKinley's ear abort that uch-dis-
puted control OF the Kansas patron
age. They argued that Senator Bakers
recommendations in the matter of
Kansas appointments be followed to
the letter
They had scarcely left the President
when Cyrus Leland and a party of his
followers, including Calvin Hood and
J. NJ. Simpson. came in at the main
door of the White House. The two
delegations did not speak as they
passed by.
Local Kansans think Baker will win
out in his fight with Leland. and that
lie will con troll Kansas patronage in
the future.
