NO FIVE YEAR SERVICE LIMIT
SECRETARY SHAW A STRONG SUP,
PORTER OF THE MERIT SYSTEM

Washington. July 22-The following state
1nent was made public at the Office OF the Sec
retary of the Treasury to-day:
Numerous inquiries have been received at the
Treasury Department relative to the truth or
falsity Of the alleged assertion OF Secretary
Shaw that he in favor Of a five year limit
Tor service in the Treasury Department. The
original newspaper article and those that fol-
lowed it, stating that the Secretary believed q
departmental employe lost his usefulness after
flve years in the government work, were so
riciculously improbable that they were never
dignifed by denial That great many people
have taken these articles seriously has been
demonstrated by the number of inquiries not
only from Washington, but from all the
country.
To avoid any further misconception of the facts
in the case. it may be announced absolute
authority that no such remark or expression
was ever made by Secretary Shaw. and that the
articles purporting to represent his attitude as
a headsnan are made out of whole cloth.
On the contrary. il may be said with equal
authority that Secretary Shaw is heartily in
accord with Civil Service in every respect. As
an illustration of his attitude matters of
personnel may be cited his signing yesterday
Of a set of regulations placing laborers and
other unslxied positions under the control of the
Civil Service Commission. removing thereby the
last bit of patronage at the disposal of the
Secretary Of the Treasury

Come From Oxford to Steal, Got DR.. Pope's and
is:Now in Jail.

DIR. Pope, a colored physician here,
the theft of whose horse and buggy has
been told of, is again in possession OF
them.
Through the activity of Chief OF Police
Mullins it was learned that negro was
seen near Wakefield with a turnout such
as DR.. Pope was seeking. DR.. Pope
went in pursuit, accompanied by Shaw
University student. They overlook the
man in Nash county and found him try
ing to sell the horse and buggy. He
quietly surrendered and was brought
back to Raleigh.
Yesterday he was before Mayor
Powell and gave his name as Ferry
Skidmore from Oxford. After examina-
ton he was committed to Jail under a
81 900 bond
Skidmore, on his trial, said he had
come to Raleigh to steal a horse, that
he liked the looks of the one belonging
to DR.. Pope and had watched for two
days for an opportunity to'nab the turn
out This came when DR.. Pope left it
in front of DR.. r. H. Lewis office.
Skidmore is a respectable looking ne
gro, and says he is SO years old. His
horse thief experience will cost him
