PROCTOR,S DEFENSE.

Mr.. Proctor, chairman of the commit
tee. was recalled and replied to Mr..
Bailey. He said he was glad that all
who had grievances We're given an OPP
pOrtunity to air them. He said Mr.
Bailey's access to the files was such as
to have given him the amplest oppOr-
tUnity to attack the work of the com
mittee. He would, he said. furnish the
data in each particular case. He was
sure that the examination upon each
occasion had been in compliance with
the law. and that if it had not been
the commission was responsible to the
president, who could take such action
rs he might think proper.
He said that the statement that he
had denied Mr.. Bailey access to the
files was false, but that he had told
him he must not interfere with the
other clerks when at work. He denied
that this had been done for the purpose
of intimidating MIR. Bailey.

EMISSIONS OF RULES.

Mr.. Bailey instanced many cases of
what he termed evasions Of the rules of
the service. He also charged violation
of the law requiring applicants to Sc
cure certification of residence from
county clerks, giving case from South
Carolina he said the violation was
not of general Importance, but he had
given it because it fitted in with the
gcI eral tendency of the commission to
violate laws and its own regulations.
Mr. Bailey said that a large majority
of appointments were first made upon
special examinations, which reduced
competition TO the minimum, and the
chances for the applicant materially in
creased. He thought the practice had
come 20 be too common in the depart
ments to call for appointments requir-
ing qualifications to which the existing
registers did not apply, and thus secure
appointees on the special examination.
He charged a growing laXity on the
examinations, which. he said, had be-
come especially pronounced within the
past two years. He also charged that
the application of the home rule prin-
ciple in an Ohio case, at the instance
of a United States senator. which was,
he said in violation of the commission
regulations

WITHOUT EXAMINATION.

Mr.. Bailey asserted that appointments
had been made without examination.
He said that during the past two years
there had been many appointments
made in cases in which no prior ex-
animation had been held. Under the
pressure from Mr.. Proctor to state
whether he thought the commission had

considerations. Mr.. Bailey said that he
thought that the commission had shown
a leaning, whether for political reasons
or not, towards persons from a Dartic-

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

WHEAT-There were no traces of the
weakness which marked yesterdays close
in wheat trading at the opening today.
Initial trades in May We're made at 1914
@3sc, an advance of sc. There was 2 lit
tie realizing by room traders at the ad-
vance and the price dipped for a few
moments to 967s@Hc, but recovered and
slowly sold up to 967Aq5sc. Trading was
slow and unimportant, shorts being the
best buyers, and there was not enough
demand from that source to create real
strength, the feature being the lack of
offerings. The strength lay in the for
eign news. Liverpool was irregularly
higher and private cables said wheat was
stronger in all positions, with supplies
rapidly decreasing. Argentine advices
told of continued heavy rains and very
light offerings. Domestic news was of a
different color, Kansas reporting the best
crop prospects in years and northwestern
receipts were heavy at AS ears, against
483 cars last week and 256 cars a year ago.
Chicago receipts We're SO cars. The Cuban
situation was not even mentioned and ap>
parently had no influence. After the adj
vance to 961k05sc the market reacted UNI
der realizing to 963s@1R.
CORN-Corn was strong and big BUSH
ness was doing. There were no country
offerings. Export demand was heavy
der estimates. May opened a shade higher
at 29asc, advanced to 1850 and reacted to
291hc.
OATS-Oats were fairly active and
strong. Buying was general. Receipts
were 274 cars. May opened a shade higher
at 24zsc and advanced to 25c.
VISIONS-Provisions were inclined
to lag at first. Prices We're a little easier
on the large hog receipts. The market
soon became quite strong, the advance in
grain causing shorts to cover, and prices
advanced. May pork opened PFC lower
at s1O.571a, sold at $1O.55 and advanced to
S1O65 May lard opened a shade lower
at $5O71z05.10 and sold at $40. May ribs
opened a shade lower at S5.171a, sold a
shade lower and reacted to $5.1T1a@5.20.

gle Iron company to form a trust con
trolling the entire pig iron trade OF the
country.
Local iron dealers recently received
communications from the Carnegie
company urging that such deal be
considered and advancing lengthy argu-
ments to prove the benent a trust would
be to all concerned.
The promoters of the project propose
to follow the same plan under which
the big coal trust is now beng organic
ed. They propose to bring all the lead
ing producers into the combine and reg
ulate their output by giving each mem
Der of the combine an allotment. 1t is
proposed to regulate the allotment by
figuring on the average output of each
firm during the past five years.

of the Carnegie company were shown

it was stated that the Carnegie compa-
ny was making an effort TO form a pig

Additional Guards Placed About Min
lister Woodford's Residence.

Madrid, Feb. 1O.-The news of the De
LONE incident was received too late
yesterday evening to obtain opinions.
The government press naturally ascrib-
ed it's authorship to the Cuban jim
goes, the Washington state department
announcement that De LONE had ad-
n1itted the genuineness of the letter not
being received until early this morning.
Senior Canalejas was out of town but
his secretary said he had never receiv-
ed any such letter from De LONE.
For some time past the authorities
have taken extra precautions in
guarding the residence of United States
Minister Woodford, which is on the
outskirts of the city. On Sunday the
guard was reinforced by "a men and
the Heraldo says that even this was
not considered sufficient. Additional
precautions were adopted evidently I'M
der the impression that public order
might be disturbed and a number of
mounted civil guards were posted in the
vicinity. Thereupon the Heraldo asks
whence the necessity for these precau-
tions since Madrid has offered abso-
lutely not a single symptom Of justify
ing such measures.
