that lion of all the many that Koarn
menich has tanned with his electrical
shield has refused to be subjugated
ana mas returned to the attack again.
1t seemed that this particular lion
had dashed itself into perfect frenzy
OF resentment against its master. for
IT threw itself again and again against
the shield, and it was necessary for The
assistant to turn on the full force of
the dynamo, throwing into the lions
body an amount Of electricity which
had the effect of so paralyzing the wild
beast as to take every bit of fight and
almost every bit of life out of him
This is the only time when Koen-
men1ch has been in a critical position
since he adopted the use Of the sub
Jugator. He regards the time as past
when any lion tanner need be in fear
of his life. The shield is a better
weapon than a revolver. Koemmenich
wears 1t constantly when giving per
formances, as it does not impede his
movements, and the audience is not
aware Of its existence. Thus prepar-
ed, he is a match for the strongest
lion into whose presence he goes when
giving his daily performances. 1t is
in tanning the lion, however, that
Koemmenich considers his electrical
subjugator is of most value, and those
who have seen 1t in operation when
he has been attacked by a lion agree
with him.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The senate
committee on civil service today heard
the testimony of clerks in the civil SER
vice commission beginning with W. R.
Bushby, chief clerk of the certification
division, whose testimony related to de-
tails of office administration.
He was followed by Edward Bailey
MI. Bailey said he had been requested
not to refer to the records of the office
fol Vcrifcation of his facts. Commits
sic ner Proctor had told him that
suhorcinates owed some Difference to
their superiors in the office and said
in substance that his place in the SER
vice depended upon his observance Of
this fact
Mr.. Bailey instanced many cases Of
what he termed evasions Of the rules
OF the service. He also charged VIOLA
ton Of the law requiring applicants to
secure certification of residence. Of
county clerks, giving case from South
Carolina. He said this violation was
not of general Importance, but he had
given it because it fitted in with the
general tendency of the commission to
violate laws and its own regulations.
MIR. Bailey said that large majority
of appointments were first made upon
special examinations which reduced
con- petition to the minimum with the
chances for the applicant materially
increased. He thought the practice had
come to be too common in the Depart
ments to call for appointments requir-
ing qualifications to which the existing
re gisters did not apply and thus secure
! appointees on the special examination.
He charged a growing laXity in the eX-
ANNA tons, which he said had become
especially pronounced within the past
two years. He also charged the appii-
cation of the home rule principle in an
Ohio case at the instance Cf a United
States senator, which was, he said, in
violation of the commissions regula-
ticns.
Mr.. Bailey asserted that appoint
mt hts had been made without exam ina
ton. He said that during the past two
years there had been many appoint
ments made in cases in which no prior
examination had been held.
Under pressure from Mr.. Proctor TO
state whether be thought the commits
sion had been Influenced in its course
by political considerations, Mr.. Bailey
said he thought that the commission
had shown a leaning, whether for po-
liticGl reasons or not, toward persons
from q particular section of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Proctor. chairman Of the com
| mission was recaI d ard Dlicd to MI.
Bailey. He said he was glad that all
who had grievances We're gwen an cp-
portunity to air them. Iie said Mr..
Bailey's access to the files was such
as to have given him the amplest op-
portUnity to attack the work Of the
commission. He would he said, fur
IRISH the data in each particular case.
He was sure that the acton upon each
occasion had been in compliance with
the law, and that If it had rot been tn
&c mmission was respC"sible to the
president. who could take such action
as he might think proper.
