no disposition for the present to press
the matter to the exclusion of all

take precedence of the ship bill in its

will
The subsidy bill will not be debated
for so great a length Of time as was
the measure OF the last congress
There will be number of speeches

go to vote. Senator Frye. chairman
or the committee on commerce, who
will have the bill in charge, will ex
plain the measure when it is taken

the senate from the Democratic point

Washington, March 3.-The attitude
of the civil service commission to-
ward the political activity of govern
ment employees has been defined in
letters Commissioner Foulke has sent
to Postmaster McMichael and K.
Francis Wood, both of Philadelphia.
In his letter to Mr.. Wood, the sub
stance of which also is stated in the
letter to the postmaster, Mr.. Foulke
says
I'VE object to certain solicitations
for contributions, made by those in
authority, because they are, in effect,
coereing the political action of en-.
ployes, but would it not also be CO.
ercing their political action to tell
them that they should not contribute
and that they must take no part
whatever IN a campaign? For my
self, | have in years past always
given modest contribution for po-
litical purposes, and | shall not cease
to do so in the future because | hold
office; but | do not intend to give any
more or less on that account, and |
do not want my example to be con-
strued as an intimation to any en-
ploye of this Office that he is to give
or not to give, or that he is not as
free to give to the Democratic fund
as he is te the Republican fund, or
that he may not as freely give to the
faction opposed to me in my own
party as to the faction not opposed
to me, if he so desires.

Voluntary Contributions All Right

As to campaign contributions, it
seems to me that the purpose of the
law is to see that they are really vol
untary and not actually or implicitly
coereed. and as to political action
and activity, it seems to me the puf.
pose of the law is that man should
be free to do what he likes in Office
as Well as out of it, with the limita-
ton that. it must not interfere with
his official duties nor in any other
way bring scandal upon or impair the
efficiency Of the branch of the service
to which he belongs. In the latter
particular any attack made upon that
service, or upon the administration
of which it would form a part would
necessarily be in derogation of sound
discipline. We who are strong be-
levers in the merit system should not
take so extreme view that it could
not be sustained in principle and
would not be justified by public opin-
ion"

house, Tuesday at noon, by ncishbor.
Physicians We're summoned from De
Witt, but all efforts to revive Farrell
and his sister have failed. and they are
still in an unconscious condition. On
this account nothing definite has been
learned. However, 1t is shown both
Farrell and his sister were chloroform-
ed. 1t is the superstition that both re-
vived before the burglars had complet-
ed their work and a struggle ensued.
Both were beaten into insensibility and
their bodies are covered with wounds.
One of Farrell's arms is broken in three
places and he has a bad scalp wound.
His sister has several bruises about the
body and her scalp is badly bruised.
The physicians entertain but little hope
of their rcsaining consciousness. When
found both We're bound and gagged. but
such precautions were unnecessary as
they were left in no condition to spread
the alarm.
The house was transacted, but 1t is
not known whether or not the burglars
secured any booty, as Mrs. Farrell, the
mother. is away from home. There is
no clue and the criminals have un-
doubtedly made good their escape, as
their victims were not discovered until
nearly noon. A chloroform bottle. emp
ty, and a saturated handkerchief, is
proof that Farrell and his sister were
under the influence Of the drug at some
stage of the robbery. 4
