 WITH REPRIMAND
POSTMASTER WILLS OF NASH VILE AGAIN NAMED, WITH CAU-
 TON FROM PRESIDENT ABOUT
 OBSERVING CIVIL SERVICE LAW

Washington, January 27.-The President Postmaster A W. Willis of Nashville, Tenn but wrote the postmaster cau- tioning him against any violations of the civil service laws.
 This action follows a report which the civil service commission has just made to the President of investigation of charges against the postmaster of a po- litical nature. The report holds that Postmaster Willis committed technical violations of the civil service laws in contributing s15O for political purposes and in causing the collection of certain sums from sub-ordinates to reimburse him.
 The report of the committee says the postmaster and others solicited Assistant District Attorney Brock to run as Repub- lican candidate for Congress. As Brock replied that the necessary expenses must be borne by others Postmaster Willis ad- vanced $l50 of his money in personal checks afterwards endorsed by Brock to the treasurer of the campaign commit tee.
 w, J. O'Callaghan. assistant superin- tendent of mails N. s. Q.cella ghan. clerk; Edwin Fuller, Superintendent of general delivery. proposed to contribute to reimburse the postmaster. who there upon, assigned the shares to be paid by each-the OCallaghans $ each. Fuller and Terry s1O each and Clifford s15. The postmasters stenographer, Miss vester, showed this apportionment to the respec- tive parties; they paid the money to her and she gave it to the treasurer of the camDaign committee who was not an of- flee holder. lhe treasurer subsequently, returned to Postmaster Wills $100 out of the $15O contributed. Part of the money so returned was collected from outside. The commission says the contributions were actually voluntary and as no solic- itation was made elsewhere. no actual coercion of any kind had been used.

Civil Service Commission Says He Caused Information to Be
 Given Applicants.

Washington, January 27. The civil service commission has cancelled the ex- animation. for special statistical compiler for the Department of Agriculture held June IS and 19 last and has made public its report on it's investigation of the in- tegrity of that examination. The report says that employees of the division of sta tistics were improperly and unfairly as- sisted in their preparation for the exami- nation by the disclosures made by Mrs. Bertha Burch, an employe, in pursuance of instructions from John Hyde, statis- tician of the Department of Agriculture. directing her to give all the help in this examination which she '1egitimately" could
 The report says the testimony shows that advance information of more or less definite character was given out by her covering at least six questions asked in the examination and also that un- classified laborers in the statistical di- vision were given other unfair advan- tages, the questions being framed In such a manner that only those experi- enced in the actual work at the division could pass.
 The report calls attention to an appar- ent effort by Statistician Hyde to fore stall the investigation of the commission in respect to one or more of the witnesses examined, and says threats were made to them.

SHOOTS WIFE AND
 KILLS HIMSELF
CHICAGO PHYSICIAN ENDS HIS
 TROUBLES AFTER LEAVING HIS
 PHOTOGRAPH FOR MORNING PAPERs-WIFE MAY RECOVER.

Chicago, January H.-Dr. Harry J. Zeigler of BIC West King street. Lancas- ter, Pa. seriously wounded his wife An ma and then killed himself this afternoon at the Wellington Hotel note left by the physician declared that he and his wife had decided to die. and as he lacked the nerve Mrs. zeigler had promised to commit the act.
 The physician and his wife arrived at the Wellington Hotel this morning and were assigned to a room. About 8 o'clock call came to the clerks office. When the bell boy arrived he found the woman tugging at the door. Blood was flowing from a wound in the back of her head. "Oh. my husband has shot him self" she cried, forgetting in her fear for him, the pain of her own wound. A note addressed to morning paper was found in the room. It read:
 My photograph belongs to your paper. We decided to die but lack the nerve to shoot, so my wife Anna will do it. Send my body home to 316 West King street. Lancaster. Goodbye"
 Mrs. Zegler was conscious for some time after the arrival of q physician. She confirmed the contents of the note which showed that the husband lacked at first
 
 the determination to carry out their plans. But she. too, failed and eventually she said her husband shot her and then thinking she was dead. turned the weapon upon himself. When taken to the hospital it was thought Mrs. Ieigler could not recover After an operation. however, she showed more signs of life and al- though the chances are slim, some hope is ent ntertained for her recovery.
 A letter to Zeigler questioned him about a divorce he was to secure from Miss Baker at Lancaster.

BEARS MADE RAID
 ON CHICAGO WHEAT
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE AB- SENCE OF A BIG HOLDER AND FORCE THE CEREAL DOWN IN TWlNkLlNG.

Chicago, January 27.-Oats struck a snag shortly after the opening of the Board of Trade today that set the entire floor in an uproar and drew traders from all pits to take part in the terrible on- slaught.
 The opening in this usually quiet pit was nothing unusual. May starting l4c higher to unchanged to 44lz to A. At once, how ever. several long operators began throw ing overheard millions of bushels of their holdings.
 Saturdays weakness in all pits had brought a very unsettled feeling in the minds of spectators and when this gen. eral liquidation set in prices dropped like a ballast from a balloon. Everywhere in the pit May options were being sold re- gardless of price. In less than half an hour this option had fallen to 391ac-a loss of A. Shorts now began to get in the cover for good profits and several promi- nent bulls hurriedly conferred and began a strong support. In almost as many minutes as it took to bring the terrible slump May prices had scared upwards again and touched 43c. German condi- tions of crops etc. had little effect on the market. It was one characterized purely by speculative manipulations. Receipts were 112 cars.
 As one gossip had it James Patten, Mayor of Evanston, who is credited with a corner of 1OO0O,0OO bushels of May oats, was unloading and weak holders of margined oats had to let go everything they had
 MT. Patten made this statement: q have not sold a five of oats this morn- ing. It is a deliberate raid, There is no doubt it was started to force me to sell. The trailers were out, but the peo- pie that planned the raid did not get what they were after"

By order of the men a brakeman uncoupled the express. mail and baggage cars. which were taken to Fifty-eight Station, leaving the rest of the train on the main line. Here several shots were fired into the express car.and one man climbed up and covered Express Messenger Hall with a Winchester, com polling him to open the door.
 Located the Safe.
 Three men entered the car and stripped the local safe. After threatening Hall with instant death if he did not open the through safe and finding he knew noth- ing of the combination. the safe was rolled out onto the platform. Then the erginee.- was ordered to return to the rest of the train and he obeyed, bringing the train on, with no further incident, to Branchville
 There was only a small amount of booty in the local safe and no one here knows the contents of the through safe. No mall or baggage was touched and no passenger was molested The robbers forced the only employees who were armed to give up their weapons. No steps have so far been taken to follow the robbers.
