BAILEY'S BOMBSHeLL.
SAYS His Testimony Has Been Tampered With
Sharply Arraisned by Mr.. Proctor.

Washington. Jan. PA bombshell
was sprung at tOday's session of the
senate civil service investi eating com
mttee whom T.. d. Bailey. as the chief
examiner of the civil service commits
sion and a leading witness. intimated
that the committee had sought to in
torfcre with his testimony.
Prior Ia his being called to the stand,
Col. Mckenzie of the engineer corps of
the war department. gave some testi-,
mony as to the Favorable working of
the system in the engineer department.
Then Mr.. Bailey was asked as to the
last sweeping extension of the civil ser
vice in May t. 1896, ana he said the cx-
tensions were first suggested by the
commission to the President instead of
the officers which he thought might be
required by strict construction.
At the juncture Chairman Pritchard
read a letter which he said, he had re-
ceived from Mr.. Bailey, saying he was
under unpleasant suspicion" by rea-
son of being asked out from the COM
mission Senator Pritchard told the
witness. who hesitated in giving testi-
mony on this point. that he must state
all that had occurred. If anyone has
interferred with YOU he said 1T is
due the commission to tell everything"
The first thing that revealed the fact
that / might be suspected Of knowing
more about examinations than it is
usually known" Mr.. Bailey then said,
was when Mr.. Proctor called me to his
office q little after the first testimony |
gave He said he had no desire to in
tluence my testimony in any way, but
that the chairman of the committee
had not summoned any one friendly to
the commission and asked me to tell
him what | was to say so he could be
prepared to answer.
Chairman Pritchard, of the commit
tee. took occasion to deny Mr.. Proctor's
reference to eX-parte testimony and
stated that nine-tenths of the people
who had appeared We're unknown to
him at that time.
We do not propose that witnesses
are TO be inundated. either by Mi
Proctor or the commission or any one
else"
Chairman Proctor then cross exam

show that the latter had been mis-

LAFAYeTTE'S FAMOUS VISIT.


There Was Great Excitement Over His
Trip to the United States.
Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writes
in The Ladies' Home Journal of When
Lafayette Rode Into Philadelphia"
says that 1T is difficult to understand
at this late day what furore Of ex-
citement passed over this country when
Lafayette arrived once more in Amer
lea The visit Is historic event to be
remembered while memory endures
During President Monroe's second ad.
ministration the United States extended
its invitation to Lafayette. He arrived
at Staten Island on Aug. 10 Sunday,
1924, accompanied by his son. George
Washington Lafayette, and also by his
son-in-law. A formal reception took
place on the following day, the first
fruits Of the most abundant harvest Of
welcome which Lafayette was to receive
during his year Of travel through the
United States. -
Lafayette was c. years old when he
visited America as the nations guest
and carried his years lightly. His head
was shaped like that Of Burns. He had
a high forehead, long, aquiline nose
and rather thin face. His hair was
sandy and quite plentiful His eyes
were dark gray, restless and twinkling,
his eyebrows light fn"color, but heavily
marked. His mouth was firm, and his
lips smiled courteously at the holiday
crowd assembled to do him honor. The
general was not very tall, but we'll
made. His face was distinctly pleasant,
and its expression was an odd mixture
Of shrcwdness, decision and gay good
humor, His costume was a swallow.

with great display Of white waistooat
and neckcloth. A bunch Of seals hune
from broad black ribbon at his waist
Over his shoulders hung cloth riding

ON THE GRAND BANKS.

How the Cod and HaIibut Are Taken by
the Small Vessels.
Gustav Kobbe writes an article en-
titled ION the Grand Banks and Else
where" for St. Nicholas. Mr. Robbie
says:
The trawlers are generally found on
the Grand banks, the hand liners ON
tho western bank and Quiro These
hand lines are smaller vessels with
fewer dories, and the men fish with
hand lines, ono man and two lines to u
dory The hand liner sits in the middle
OF his dory, with Il compartment in its
stern and another i'll its bow for his
catch, When You see the bow sticking
far up i'll the mir, you kow the fisherman
has his stern load. Then, AZ fish after
fish flashes into the other compartment,
the bow settles, and when tho dory is
on an even keel the hand liner pulls
back to the vessel.
The trawlers bait with fresh herring,
mackerel and squid, the hand liners
with salt clans The catch Of both IL
split and sailed, and the vessel has
full fare, or catch, when she has
wet her salt'-that il, used up all
her salt-and Is full of fish. A trawler's
voyage lasts about 8 weeks, hand
liners H.
A trawler's crew receives no wages,
but fishes on shares. First the captain
gets II percentage; Of the remainder, one
half goes to the vessel, which "iinds"-
that is, supplies the gear, stores, salt
and half the bait-and the other half to
the captain and crew In equal shares,
which run from $40 to $3.50 and even
to $3.50.
But among the hand liners each man
is paid according to what he catches,
the =" fare" from each dory being weigh
ed AZ it il taken aboard This stimu-
,ates competition. There is Judgment
in knowing where to fish or how long
to stay over II certain spot, and even the
quickness with which line Is hauled
in will make a perceptible difference at
the end Of days fishing. Ii means
something to BIO thigh line." AZ they
call the best fisherman, at the end Of u
voyage, and those who win this distino-
ton time and again, as some do, be-
come known as "killers'' and "big
fishermen.
The main catch on the banks il cod
and halibut. There is also fleet of
small American vessels which pursues
the merry swordfish. Swordfshing Is
good sport-whaling on small scale. A
man, dart in hand, stands in the yes
sells bow, supported by semiciroular
iron brace. When near enough to the
fish, he let's fly the dart. A swordhsh
may weigh 800 pounds. One can tow a
dory mile, and piece Of the sword
has been found driven through the bot
tom of pilotboat.

IN LONOON'S SLUMS.
A Rather Rough Experience That Taught
an Artist q Lesson.

an Artist n Lesson.
An artist who IL well known in o
northern city used occasionally to put
on his shabbiest clothes and penetrate
to the slums in search of inspiration for
his brush On one Of these excursions
he stopped to watch the efforts Of a rag
ged urchin who was dishguring the
pavement of squalid street with q
piece Of soft blue stone, and, although
the figures which the lad drew were
grotesque, the artist was struck with
their originality and began to take an
interest in their development.
"That's right. my boy Make your
lines clear and never mind the details
Ohampionl What You dom know how
to sketch that old mans head2 Then
give me tho chalk. I'll show you.
The next moment the enthusiastic
artist was on his knees. and with the
piece Of stone had quickly drawn u
clever picture. Before he could COM
mence another sketch, however, he felt
stunning blow on tho head. and o
shrill female voice cried:
Take yer bloomin hook, ye great,
good for nought hulkt What dye mean
by messin up t'hags at I've just wash
ed? "Tain't no wonder at t. kids do 1t
when senseless old idiot likeyerself sets
'em t'example. 30 off. or I'll scour
t'pavement wi yer ugly carcass. E"
The artist hurriedly lodged another
boot. spraDg to his feet. and. without
waiting to argue the matter, sneaked
ignominiously off. He VOWS that he
will mind his own business when next
he goes Summing London Telegraph.
