SCHLEY DISCUSSES TRIP.
Admiral Says His Visit To the South
Will Be Brief One.

A Washington dispatch says: The
next distinguished man to visit At
lanta, Ga, will be Rear Admiral Schley.
He will spend the 4th and 9TH of No
vember in Atlanta, leaving on the
morning of the 9th for Birmingham,
Ala.
When press correspondent called
upon the admiral Friday morning he
was busily engaged packing up the
gifts which he has received from The
people. The medal from the legisla-
ture of Maryland, the five thousand
dollar set of silver from some friends
OF his state, swords galore and loving
cups were all being placed in box to
be sent to the safety vault company.
81 am anxious to go into the south,
but my time is very limited" said the
admiral. 81 have written to Birming-
ham that I will be there for the 9th
and 7th, and have made my arrange
ments so as to spend the 4th and 9Th
in Atlanta. 7 do not see how I can
accept any other invitations before ]
take this cruise. On my return I will
be in command of my own time and
can then make rny plans according to
my desires.
The committee headed by Commits
sioner Ross came in to see the admiral
about the movement to present hin
with home in the capital. The move
ment promises to be one Of the great
magnitude. Cities all over the coun-
try are vying with each other in form
ing committees to take charge OF the
work. Great enthusiasm is shown
here for the project, and it is thought
the subscriptions will double the
amount raised for the Dewey home.
The admiral has discouraged the
movement, but it has now progressed
beyond him and is assured of success.
The feeling which prompts the move
ment is as much one of resentment TO-
ward the navy department as in admi-
ration of the gallant admiral.
The admiral has urged all those who
have called on him to see to it that
only modest home, if any at all, be
secured for him, but the committee
thinks now that at least hundred
thousand dollars will be raised with
out trouble,

CAMPAIGN CALLS
For Cash Declared To Be Illegal
By the Civil Service
Commission.

A. Washington dispatch says: A
long official statement reviewing the
legal phases of the political assess
ment question, and holding that the
soliciting of campaign funds by letter
comes clearly within the remedial pro-
visions of the civil service law has
been made public by the civil service
commission. The commission made
the statement because of circulars
sent out by W. +. Burdett, as treas
urer of the finance committee of the
Ohio republican state executive com
mittee, soliciting contributions from
federal employees.
The commission says the Ohio cir
culars bring up clearly the questions
so long awaiting judicial determine
ton, as to whether soliciting contri-
buttons for political purposes by means
of letters addressed to federal officers
or employees at their offices constitutes
an offense under the 10Th section of
the civil service act.
The commissions ruling, or brief,
now made public was submitted by
President Proctor, of tho commission,
to Senator George F. Edmunds, ol
Vermont, who was chairman of the
senate judiciary committee at the time
the civil service act WAS passed. The
latter, in his opinion, to which the
committee gives particular signif
cance, says:
'I entirely agree with the conclu
sions stated in the brief. think it il
clear that the solicitation Of such po
litical aids by means of the postoflics
is distinctly within the prohibition Of
section ~ of the act to which you re.
fer. The language Of the section is,
that no person shall in any room OF
building, etc.. solicit in any manner
whatever etc. It is not that a person
being in room or building shall So
licit, but it is that no solicitation shall
be made in any such place, no matter
whore the person making the solicita-
tion may be.
"If, for instance, a person on the
street outside tho treasury depart
ment should send a written offer to
some person employed within the
building to pay a price for rob-
bing the vaults or committing
any other wrong, it would be clear
that his offense was committed within
the building, for the writing OF the
offer would be entirely incomplete
until delivered to the person to whom
it was addressed. think it impossi-
BILE, therefore, to maintain that such
acts as you refer to are not both with.
in the letter and the spirit OF the act
of congress.

ANTE-PASS BILL
Is SheiYed In the Georgia Legis!a-
ture---lnportant Measures
Are introduced.

Two important bills, both of which
mad been favorably reported, were de.
feated in the Georgia house of repre-
sentatives Friday. Mr.. Hall, of Bibb,
Was the author OF the measures.
The first was one which has before
made its appearance in the Georgia
legislature, prohibiting the issuing of
pass2s and franks TO all state, county
and city officials.
There was lively debate over the
measure, but it was finally shelved on
a motion to table by Mr.. Mclaughlin,
OF Meriwether.
Mr.. Hall, the author of the bill, de-
string to put every member on record,
called for an aye and nay vote. The
result was 81 to 63 in favor of tabling
the bill. Mr.. Hall then gave notice
of motion to reconsider.
In the senate the most important
bill was that introduced by Senator
McLester, of the Columbus district,
which provides for the holding of a
convention of the people of Georgia
for the purpose Of revising the consti-
tuition.
The plan is to let the new constitu-
tion as revised go before the people
for ratification. The bill provides for
the calling Of an election by the gov
ernor Immediately after the enactment
for the election Of delegates to the con-
vention. The election is to be held
on the second Monday in January and
the convention the first Wednesday in
June following.
According to the bill the delegates
will vote either for or against the con-
vention. The representation in the
convention is to be based on popula-
tion in the ratio of one delegate to
every 5000 inhabitants. The bill pro-
vides for an appropriation Of $4,000
for holding the election.
