Reports from the recruiting stations show

HAND SWEEPING WORK
Rumor That Daggett and Dugan Will
ReliDquish Their Contract
Alleged Cause is That the Superin-
Because of Inferior Work.

1t was rumored at the District building
gan, who hold the contract for cleaning
certain streets and avenues of the city by
what is known as the hand-cleaning sys-
tenn, will relinquish their contract.
By the terms of the contract Messrs.
Daggett & Dugan receive 21h4 cents for 1000
square yards cleaned by them, and they
are supposed to clean 200 900 square yards
every day. 1t is stated that the work per-
formed by them has not proven satisfactory
to the superintendent of the street cleaning
department, Mr. Warner Stutler. and it is
said that Mr.. Stutler has daily for the past
week or so cut off from $50 to $50 from the
allowances due the contractors for alleged
inferior work.
1t is reported that the contractors have
not placed on the work a sufficiently large
force to perform 1t satisfactorily, and it is
said that Mr.. Stutler has received a num-
Der of complaints from citizens
Under $4,000 Bond.
1t is also rumored at the District building
that there is disagreement between
Messrs. Daggett & Dugan, and the former
is reported as having declared that he will
not only not put on more men, but that he
will throw up the contract.
The contractors are under a bond of
$4,000 to carry out the terms of the con-
tract, and if they should decide to re-
Hnquish the contract the District Com
missioners would either be compelled to
require the suretieS of the firm to fulfill 1t
or else have the work done by District
employees.

INDICATES COMMISSIONER
Investigation by the Grand Army of the Re-
publio's Committee.
Mr.. Case Says That the Comrades Will
Be Glad to Read the
Report.

"All I can say in the matter Of an inves-
tigation of pension affairs" said Mr.. H. B.
Case Of the pension committee of the G. A.
R. today, lis that the comrades of the
Grand Army will be glad to read our report
and rejoice at our investigation"
This was said to a reporter of The Star
this morning. Beyond that he politely, but
firmly, declined to talk. He did say how
ever, there was no truth in the published
statement that each member of the COM
mittee would make a separate report and
would be made.
the anticipation of it's report had led to a
compact among the members not to discuss
the subject at all. Everything had been
carefully inquired into and the investigat ton
had been thorough. There is little doubt
expressed as to the entire vindication of
Commissioner Evans by the committee from
the attacks made upon him. Everything in
the shape of a complaint was looked into
and the files of the pension bureau thrown
open to inspection.
Particular cases where the commissioner
had been criticised were called up, and
chiefs of divisions were called upon for
explanation of certain action by the
bureau. Not a single instance was shown
where Commissioner Evans could be called
to account. His action in cases, some of
them apparently harsh, was found to be
directly in line with instructions from the
Interior Department, and it was plainly
shown that all Of the important rulings
which had been the subject of such violent
attack originated with the Secretary of
the Interior
There is no concealment of the fact that
the committee will endeavor to have the
Secretary of the Interior change some of
his rulings and amend some Of the rules
Of practice.
During the session of the committee a
conference was held at the Interior Depart
ment, and the Secretary, so one member
of the committee stated, spoke in glowing
terms of the commissioner Of pensions and
the grand work he was doing in the interest
of the old soldiers. President Mckinley, he
said, also expressed the greatest confidence
in Commissioner Evans.
Although several members of the COM
mittce still remain in the city, the fnvestiga-
ton is concluded There will be another
meeting of the committee next month when
the report will be agreed upon. 1t will be
presented at the national encampment,
which meets in Philadelphia early in Sep
TENDER.

DEPENDS ON HEAD OF DEPARTMENT
Reduction Promotion of Employees
Lies Within His Discretion.

Reduction Or Promotion of Employees
Lies Within His Discretion.
At the cabinet meeting today the decision
of Acting Attorney General Barrett for the
Post Office Department in the matter OF the
right of the Post Office Department to re-
duce an official without a hearing was con-
firmed-
This was the case, 1t will be recalled.
which was brought to the attention of the
department by the National Civil Service
League. A clerk named Lusk in the New
York city post office was removed from the
position of superintendent of a subStation
and reduced to the position of separator
The change wrought loss OF S1,Ooo per
annum in salary.
The league took the ground that the post
master had no right to denote Mr.. Lusk
without a hearing. and further that the de-
partment had no right to take such action
The case was made special to test the con-
struction of the Presidents amended order.
Mr. Harrison ]. Barrett the acting attOr-
ney general for the Post Office Department,
was called upon for an opinion, and he
held:
auctions except that person shall be re
duced on account of political or religious
opinions affiliations. Sections ) and +,
rule - In the absence of any rule on the
subject changes in rank or compensation
of any person within the classified service
would seem to be within the discretion of
the head of the department., subject to the
sections quoted
The only requirement 1 car find in the
rules is the latter clause of section )
(supra) that the reasons for any change In
rank compensation within the competl-
tive classified service shall also be made
part of the record of the proper department
or Office
This would seem clearly to imply that
a reduction in compensation or change in
rank is not "a removal and that the head
of the department or appointing officer need
not furnish a person who is to be reduced
in rank or compensation with statement
of the reasons for such reduction and give
him an opportunity to answer. but all that
he is required to do is to state upon the
records of the department or of the proper.
office the reasons for such change in rank
or compensation.
"'In my opinion, whenever the Postmaster
General shall determine that it is for the
best interests of the service to change the
rank or compensation of any person with
in the competitive classified service. he may
do so without notice to the person affected.
The matter is entirely at his discretion
