an examination will be held for the po-
sitions Of clerk and carrier in the pos:
office service in this city.
This examination offers an excellent

vice to bright, energetic young persons
who are not afraid of hard work, and
as previous examinations have failed to
result in sufficient number of eligibIes,
the Commission urges all persons WHO
are qualified, and who may desire to
enter the postoffice service, to apply for
and take this examination. It may be
stated that there is a wider field for
advancement upon merit in the Federal
service than in many private employ
mcnts. While the salary in the post
office service is usually about $500 or
5000 per annum at the start, this
amount compares favorably with the
compensation of beginner in private
employment.

POLICE COMMISSIONER GENERAL
FRANCIS V. GREENE MAKES A
MOST SWEEPING ORDER.

NEW YORK, Jan. Ending his sec
ond day as Police Commissioner, Cen
eral Francis V. Greene issued an or
der which will work a more sweeping
reform in the department than any
thing which has been effected in years.
1t was to the effect that after next
Wednesday 262 men who have done
work as wardmen and precinct detec-
tiVes will be placed in uniform once
more and will be sent out to do patrol
duty.
In doing this the Commissioner gave
free voice to his conviction that there
were corrupt men on the force. He
said: Some of the Wardmen have no
tOriously been collectors OF blackmail
in their precincts" To this he added
that by his action in preventing any OF
these men from having special details
and sending them into precincts other
than those in which they have been
stationed, it is believed that any cor-
rupt connections now existing Will be
broken up If it should be found that
any men, specially qualified for this
class of duty and of character above
suspicion, have been removed, there
will be opportunity 10 restore them in
case, later on it should be deemed best
to do SO.
Before the force had time to recover
from the effect of Commissioner
Greenes bomb there came the intima-
ton that within day or two a reor-
ganlzation of the detective bureau is
likely TO take place
Greene also said today: Il have in
sructed superintendent Brennan Of
the telegraph bureau to report " me
on the practicability and cost of in
stalling telephone signal boxes through
ont the civ so that each pOliCpman
may report to his station every hour
or at whatever period is best"
Greene also remarked on the fact
that New York is many years behind
other cities in this matter of patrol
telephone.

MASCAGNI TELLS
OF HIS WRONGS
is WRITING A BOOK TO LET THE
WORLD KNOW HOW HE HAS
BEEN TREATED.

CHICAGO, January 2.-Composer
Mascagni has adopted a modern method
OF avenging his wrongs. He is writing
a book. Three days after his acquittal
Of charge of embezzlement with the
memory of his injuries yet fresh, he
began today to tell in words that should
burn, he story of his troubles. The title
OF the book is yet to be determined up
on, but from some of the extracts that
were given out by him at his apart
ments in the Auditorium it is thought
the work may be called My American
Odyssey"
The Yicissitudes of >ny American
Odyssey have been many" he writes,
but it is not the American people who
have wrought havoc with my peace,
and who have done me so much wrong.
Proofs of sympathy, even OF affection
have been received by me from the
people as a whole, through their best
representatives. But my eXecutioners,
moral assassins, who have no right to a
country, have been repudiated, and
should be Stunned by all civilized peo-
pie, They have filled my way with pit
tails, struck at me in the dark, robbed
me of money and credit due me, and
now would steal away my honor"

AN IMMIGRATION
CONSPIRACY
CLAIM THAT PAUPER AND OTHER
COMING IN THROUGH FRAUD.

NEW YORK, January 2.-Of 400 i'm
migrants arriving in this port last
Tuesday on the Belgravia of the Ham
burg American Line, 256 appeared in
the ships manifest with addresses in
New York city to which they intended
going. Careful investigation proves
that 80 per cent of the New York ad-
dresses are fictitious. There are good
reasons for believing that the false
addresses We're furnished by men who
are in a conspiracy to flood America
with the pauper population of Europe.
immigrant figures are rising in a
sensational manner, and in spite of the
earnest efforts of immigration Com
missioner Williams to exclude the most
undesirable of the foreigners who ar
rive here, wave of illiterate, criminal,
pauperized, insane, weak-mnded and
diseased humanity is sweeping into the
country.
In addition, organized effort is being
made to hinder Commissioner Williams
in his effort to dam the flood. Race
prejudice is being aroused and Wash
ington is being besieged by those who
make money out of the arriving immi-
grants. In the meantime the agents
who receive a commission for selling
/ tickets for steamship lines are said to
| be securing Europe, accepting the most
undesirable as future citizens of the
United States, it being only provided
that $25 can be raised to pay steerage
passage to New York
The fact that a bill is now b fore Con-
sress to- make the immigration laws
much more stringent is being taken ad-
vantage of by the foreign agents who
nave spread the report, GO to America
now or your opportunity will be lost"
Other phases of immigration are oc-
cupying the attention of the authorities
at Ellis island, as well as those at
| Washington. Girls are being enticed to
this country, contract labor laws are
being defeated by trickery and honest
immigrants are being robbed by per-
! sons appearing in the guise Of Samari-
tans.
