civil service commission has made an in
vestigation of the appointment of John c.
Allgood as rural carrier at Gallatin, Tenn,
to determine whether, as has been stated,
one Reuben D. Brown, who was also an
applicant for the position, passed the ex-
animation one point higher than Allgood,
and was therefore entitled to the appoint
ment. The examination was made by In
spector Graham. Allgood was appointed to
route to succeed another carrier who had
resigned and which was not the route for
which he was originally examined. In case
OF resignation it Is the practice to choose
from the list of eligibles the man of the
highest standing, irrespective of the route
he originally selected, as otherwise another
examination would be necessary to obtain
an eligible list for that route.
Inc report made by the commission states
that "on the face Of the record Brown stood
mgnest OF the available men, but in certify
ing person for a route for which he has
not signifed his preference it is customary
to review the papers with view to deter
mining whether he will prove acceptable to
the patrons on the route. In making this
examina ton Of the papers it was discovered
that Browns rating was wrong because Of
an error made In reviewing his examination
papers SO that Allgood, who stood highest
after the rating of Brown had been correct
ed. was certified, and he was appointed"
The report concludes:
1T Is readily apparent from an inspection
OF the two sets of papers which are now in
the possession of the commission, and from
all OF the circumstances in the case. that
Allgood was entitled to higher average
than Brown, and that the certification of
Allgood by the central board was not only
justified, but was positively required under
the rules established for it's guidance The
board. 1T may be added, is prohibited from
taking into consideration the color or the
political or religious affiliations of the can
didates; indeed. its records give no data
whatever on these points,

NEW NATIONAL MUSEUM
Contract for Plans Made With Horn
blower & Marshall.

The executive committee of the board Of
regents of the Smithsonian Institution has
made contract with the firm of Horn
blower & Marshall architects, whereby
that firm is to make plans and specifca-
tons for the new National Museum build
ing to be built on the mall between 9th and
18th streets at cost of SIS, 500 OOO The
tentative plans of this firm were accepted
by the committee over year ago. but the
final contract awarding the architectural
work to the firm has been held up pending
some arrangement as to the amount of the
Zee that Is to be charged for that service
AS finally agreed upon the architects are
to get three and One-half per cent of the
cost OF constructing the building This
Wili make s122oo0 that will be paid to the
architects 1t is estimated, however that
such large work will cost the architects
for drawings and various expenses to which
they will be put about 2k per cent, leaving
them perhaps l per cent as their profit
Under this arrangement the construction
work will be supervised by Mr.. Bernard
Green in much the same way that he
looked after the construction of the new
Congressional Library building The ar
chitects will give needed information in re-
lation to their plans and specifications as
the work progresses.
Only general plans for the construction
OF the museum building have been decided
upon. Before all the details of the build
Ing have been completed the matter will
be discussed, and 1t is possible that visit
Will be made abroad in order to select, as
far as possible, the very best ideas in con-
nection with such exhibition buildings
such building Is somewhat new to this
city In the completeness that 1t is expected
to provide for the museum, and there is a
desire to adopt the best ideas that have
been developed abroad IN connection with
such structures.
Already great many illustrations of the
great museum buildings Of the world have
been collected.
The work of testing the ground for foun-
dations will not be begun until july i. az
Congress did not make the appropriation
available for that work until that date.
Several months will be consumed in maxi
ing these tests.
The construction Of the building will not
take less than three years, and 1t Is likely
that longer time will be required

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va. May 23.-But for the ter
rifle wind and rain storm which drove
ashore the wrecked sailing craft the Sea-
board Air Line railways entire terminal
shops and round houses, with their con-
tents. valued at S2,OO0,O00. would have been
destroyed by fire last night, as the result
of small blaze of unknown origin in the
wrecking shed, which could have been
easily extinguished but for the fact that
hose pipes would not fit upon the new
water plugs installed few hours before.
AS IL was, property valued at probably
500 600 was destroyed.
Only for the terrific winds that carried
the blaze toward an unsettled district valu-
able properties would not only have been
destroyed but the entire western suburban
section of Portsmouth would have burned.
James Harrell. who left his bed to save
his tools. was fatally burned. There were
other accidents. Four hundred men are
