MODIFIED CIVIL SERVICE.
Intent of Report Presented By Sena-
torial Committee.

Washington, March 9.-Senator Prit-
chard. chairman of the committee on
civil service, today presented the re-
port of that committee on the recent
investigation of the classified service,
cmbodying the conclusions Of the COM
mittee. These conclusions are divided
under two heads, as follows:
First, that the executive has the
power to make such notifications as
may be found advisable, and, there
fore, no legislation is needed.
Second, the committee is agreed that
the classification has been too extensive
and that certain places that have been
classified should be excluded from clas-
sifcation, so that appointments may be
made, not through examination, but at
theypleasure of the head of the depart
ment or bureau.
The committee, therefore, is of the
opinion that the president should make
certain notifications in the existing
civil service rules, and should restore tc
the heads of departments and the heads
of bureaus the appointment of certain
classes of officials.
The committee, however, recognizes
that it's province in this is purely adj
visory, since it has no legislation to
propose.
