Merit. Not Political Influence. 10 Control
Appoint ments.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. At President
Roosevelt is able to accomplish what he
desires. this country's consular service
will be put on new basis. The men in
it will he selected according to a system
or promotion. and not through political
or other outside influences.
This was learned here to-day after As
sistant Secretary of State LOOMS returned
from Sycamore HILL where he conferred
with Mr.. Roosevelt about consular matters
The President, Mr.. I.oomis said, desires
most earnestly that the posts in the con-
sular service be filled entirely without re-
gard to political patronage.
be believes, according to the Assistant
Secretary. in system of promotion in
which faithful and intelligent work in the
service shall be recognized and rewarded
by ad vancement In the future Mr.. Roose-
welt will, it is said. fill the more important
posts with men who have shown their
worth in positions of lesser importance
Vice Consul at any place, according to
the system, will be in line to succeed the
Consul, in case of "A vacancy. unless, of
course, the post is so important that it Ifs
deemed advisable to have it filled by man
OF more extensive experience in the service
The point is that those who enter the
service under President RooseveltS ad-
mnistration in the future will not be showed
ahead of the men who have represented
the Government and shown their fitness
for advancement. II is the Presidents
hope that when the promotion system
is once established il will be continued
without interruption by other administra
tons. He believes that it's good results
will insure its continuance.

POLICY ION ALDERMEN'S PAPER.
ASTONISHING EVIDENCE FOUND
~ AN EAST SIDE RAID.
.Derome's Men on . StiII Hunt Get slips
Written on Police Depart ment Ballots
and Enclosed In Envelopes Taken
From the AldernlHnic Chamber.

Three men Of District Attorney Jerome r
detective staff went into Monroe street
last night TO see wha they could see OF a
policy game that, il was reported. was being
operatedfn rear tenement NJ Pas. The
evidence they sacured!wil be interesting to
the Alderman for the district.
All the stationery of tn" shop. so far as
the detectives could see. was bought and
paid for by the city of New York-the slips
furnished by the Bureau of Elections. the
envelopes by the Board Of Aldermen.
Therefore il is confidently expected in the
district that the Alderman will rise in the
next me ting Of the Board of Aldermen and
request the privilege Of clearing his fair
name from any possible imputation Of
having been connected with any policy
game.
1t is anticipated that in his zeal to clear
up the mysterious and unholy enterprise
he may make Use Of his close knowledge Of
political personalities in his district and
reveal the name Of any scoundrel who
dared use the stationery of the city fathers
for the sending out of policy slips.
The discovery of the Aldermanic st alton
cry was complete surprise to Detectives
Reardon. Rappo and Mullin, who made
the raid They hung about the court
between the front and rear tenements of
285 Monroe st rect for some time after dark
last night
They felt sure that il anything wrong
was going on in the place it was on the
second floor of the rear tenement. After
O'Clock a man known to Reardon as a
runner" went up the stairs of the rear
tenement ant entered one of the fats.
Reardon and his companions were close
behind.
Reardon put his foot against the door.
when it was slammed in his face after the
runner" had entered the fiat, and the other
detectives pushed him through. Inside
there was turmoil. There were shouts
and there were flying papers. In small
stove in one corner of the room a fierce
fire was burning.
Several Of the people in the room made
a dash TO throw things into the stove.
Reardon, Rappo and Muin made for the
stove and for few minute rs fought more to
keep things out Of il than to take prisoners.
When the muss quoted down they found
themselves in possession OF four men,
all of whom said that they lived in the
neighborhood. They were William Hum
phries of 81 jackson street, Charles Dryon,
Jr., of 348 Grand street, William j. Hall
of 40 Ridge street, and Rocco Scelo Of 81
jackson street.
Besides the prisoners the detectives had
heap of policy paraphernalia. There
were steel and rubber types for printing
the columns Of numbers on the slips. There
were blackboards on which the morning
and evening drawings were worked out.
There were boxes from which the drawings
were made in the first place.
But most interesting Of all was the pile
of slips already printed They were printed
on pink slips of paper which had been
on which sample primary ballots had been
printed by the Police Department. One
examined by the reporter afterward had
on it these words:
