Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa offered an
amendment to strike out the appro-
priation for the commission and in
bitter terms denounced the civil serv-
ice, but he declared, in comparing the
old spoils system with the present
merit system, the civil service was
not being improved. 1t was not, he
said, as good as it was twenty years
ago 1t was constantly deteriorating,
becoming every year more and more

Mr.. Gillette of Massachusetts de-
Tended the commission.
After Mr.. Williams of Mississippi,
the minority leader, had offered a
suggestion that it would be an i'm
provement over the present system to
fix a certain period for which an en-
ploye should serve the government,
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio referred to a
package of papers which had come to

Roosevelt. what might possibly have
been the fate OF a fellow who would
have dared TO have shown political ac-

reference TO Judge Parker produced
considerable laughter on both sides Of
the chamber.

the cardinals vestments. forming a
brilliant setting for the venerable
white CARRIED figure of Plus X.
AS the cortege entered ST. Peters
the choir sang, 'Tu Est Petrus." The
procession passed on to the Papal
altar, where was deposited the triple

been spread broadcast about her, nor

There was trouble.
In 1897 she married a very wealthy
physician and surgeon named DR.. L. S.
Chadwick. She has Travelled around
the world and has dabbled in financial
matters in this country. l never knew
of her acquaintance with Andrew Car

she possesses more than sufficient

Guilty of Fraud.
Chicago, Dec. S.-George H. Ketcham
of Toledo, O., was found not guilty of
establishing a fraudulent record for
his trotting stallion Cresceus at the
Wichita, Kan, track on Oct. 10, 1903,
after hearing of the case before the
board of appeals of the American
Trotting Association here tonight.
The board declared that the evil
dence fell short of sufficiency of es-
tablishing criminal participation in the
claimed fraudulent agreement for an
illegitimate record SO far as Mr..
Ketcham was concerned.
While freeing Mr.. Ketcham from the
charge, the board found the officials
of the Southern Kansas Fair
Association, on whose track the
race was run. guilty of con-
nivance to establish a fraudulent
record, expelling from the American
Trotting Association President c. H.
Irwin, and all the other officials con-
nected with the Wichita track at that
time.
The expulsion of these officials also
means that the worlds record for trot-
ting stations of 1:59%, claimed to have
been made by Cresceus, is not allowed

TEXAS BANKS WILL

Want to Hold Cotton.

Houston, Tex, Dec. S.-Interviews
over the state to-day show that the
Banks generally are willing to advance
money at a reasonable rate of interest,
to enable farmers and merchants to
carry their cotton for year if neces-
sary.
While there are some who oppose
the plan they generally do so on the
ground that the great amount held
will result in continuing the conditions
brought about by crop too big to
true crop the size of the crop could
be definitely known. Generally the
report to daily papers from country
correspondents state that farmers will
continue to hold.

long. The results of the fight will be
