Four Men Who Had Pull"
1t appears that in July. 1898, COM
petitive examinations were held to es-
tablish a register of eligibleS for the
customs service at FL Paso. and from
the evidence obtained by an examiner
sent there by the civil service COM
mission to investigate alleged frauds,
that prior to this examination Moses
Dillon. the collector, told w. c.
Holmes. a member of the customs
board of civil service examiners, that
there were four applicants-E. Nj.
Fink, III. +. Bloom, one McDougal and
son of the collaboration the coll
lector desired to pass the examina-
tion.
And Don't You Forget It.
The collector ordered him to com
municate this desire to W. \. Race,
secretary of the board of civil service
examiners, with the injunction that it
would not be wise for him 10 refuse;
thereupOn Holmes communicated this
desire TO Race, and on the day before

NJ. Fink. inspector of customs, one OF
the men examined. gave signed
statement to the commission Oct. 24,

animation and were appointed.
Holmes gave his testimony to the rep
resentative of the civil service COM
mission with much trepidation. He
| apparently could lose much and gain
nothing by his affidavit, which impli-
Gated the collector. Race. the former
