The third race of the Washington District

The 4OO-mile race took place May %, but
again the weather was contrary, and, ow-
Ing to the poor condition of the birds after
two races previous against wind and rain,
the race was declared on on account of no
returns the day of liberation.
About 175 birds were shipped Wednesday
night to Vaudeville, 8. c., to be liberated
today, and 1t is expected that several birds
will accomplish the ambition of every hon.
ing pigeon fancier-a return from 500 miles

EXEMPTED POSITIONS.
Civil Service Commission Preparing n
Report to the President.


Report to the President.
1t is understood that the report of the
civil service commission upon revision Of
its rules will soon be made public. In fact
it is said partial report has already been
made. This report is of great interest
since by a revision of the rules of the COM
mission number of positions now protect
ed by the classified service will be eX-
empted
When some months ago the civil service
commission was being investigated consid-
cradle pressure was brought to bear upon
the President to have him take out OF the
classified service number OF POSITIONS.
This was followed by congressional query
to the several cabinet officers as to what
positions under them should be exempted
from the operations of the civil service
rules The reports were accordingly SUD
mitted and published at the time in The
Star The civil service commission was
then required to review the recommenda-
lions and report to 1.-The President. In the
meantime the commission has been inVes-
tigating the matter, and the inquiry was
carried to every case recommended Ere
quent conferences were held with the heads
of the different departments of the govern
ment, and many of the recommendations
made We're approved. In several instances,
however. it is understood the department
withdrew its recommendation when the
case was presented by the commission
1T IS understood the commission has
agreed to the exemption from the ciassi-
fed service of the private secretaries of the
assistant heads of departments, as well Is
the secretaries OF the heads of bureaus.
Many positions it is understood have been
excepted in the internal revenue service.
A reporter of The Star called the atten-
ton of the civil service commission 10 the
matter today and was informed that the re-
PORT had not yet been completed. II was
stated, however that within a short time 1t
would be ready to submit the entire subject
to the President for his action.

Tended by Messrs. Campbell Darlington

Asked as to Davis reputation by Mr..
Pugh. Officer Murphy said the accused was
a nuisance and professional thief.
Counsel for Davis objected vigorously to
Mr.. Murphy terming their client thief
and q heated argument ensued between
Mr.. Newman and Mr.. Pugh. during which
the latter said he would prove all that he
had stated in the Information laid before
Judge Scott objected to unnecessary ar
Eument.
Mr.. Murphy was cross-examined by Mr.
Darlington, and during tho giving of Ills
testimony he said he was followed after
making the arrest by "a mob Of cowardiy
rufi1ans."

examined at great length. but without eff

At this point Mr.. Pugh suggested that
the further hearing of the case be post

1t could not be concluded today. Judge
Scott granted the motion. and Davis bond
was renewed.

As we clattered along the roughly cob

market place, women came to the windows
to have a peep at the strangers who arrived
with such unssemly haste. They are very
beautiful, the women of Toledo, tall and
willowy, and as dark as night, and as mys-
terious. Too late We saw that every iron

MRS. ATKINSON FORGERY CASE.
No Effort VIII Be Made to Indict HeI
Again.

WHEELING, w. Va, June At is now
known that-the grand jury will not present
a new indictment against Mrs. Atkinson,
the wife of Governor Atkinson, the
first indictment of whom. on a charge OF
forgery, was dismissed on n technically
by Judge Blizzard Thursday. This re-
moves the direct charge from Mrs. At
kinson, for the present, but leaves her in
directly in the case.
Owens, who was indicted as a party to
the alleged forgery of receipts signed by
Judge Gamblers name, is on trial and
should he be found guilty ii might be pos
sible to re-indict Mrs. Atkinson, as she
has made no denial of being the writer of
the papers Owens is alleged to have ut
tered. Little evidence WAS adduced by
the prosecution yesterday.
