Payne VIII Not Resign.

Washington, June 30.-Willful and
glazing abuses of the civil service law
disclosed by the postal scandal and
the so-called CREASED route" system
employed to promote proteges from
humble, unclassified stations to high
salaried, classified jobs in various de-
partments are to be stopped by addi-
tional rulings, authorized by the pres
ident before leaving here, which are
to be enforced by the civil service
commission. The postal scandals re-
vealed as never before how near the
civil service law is to crumbling and
becoming a mere paper law. These
disclosures not only showed cOnniv-
ance and misuse of high official au-
thority to violate civil service regula-
tions in the post office, but likewise
in the pension office, treasury depart
ment, census bureau and other de-
partmentS.
Payne VIII Not Resign.
Washington, June 27.-The last
meeting of the cabinet before the
presidents departure from Washing
ton was held Friday.
In this connection it can be stated
authoritatively that the reports that
Postmaster General Payne contem-
plates retiring from the cabinet are
untrue. 1t is well known that his
health is not good and there is, of
course, a possibility that he might
suffer complete breakdown or that
he might be forced by the imperative
orders of his physician to give up his
work. But at this time the idea of
retirement is not entertained by him.
He has plated out his future work
in connection with the investigation
of his department and is anxious to
finish it. The president. it is said,
has given expression to his own feel
-gs in the matter by saying that he
would permit him to resign only in
event that it became a matter of life
or DEATH
All Departments May He Investigated.
Washington, June 29.-As a result
of the frauds that have been ex-
posed in the post office department,
there is an agitation for a congress
sional investigation of all the exec
utive branches of the government
during the coming session of con-
gress The air is filed with rumors
of irregular if not corrupt practices
In many Of the departments, and it is
probable that nothing short of a gem
era1 investigation will satisfy the
public.
