Of appeals of the District of Columbia
has affirmed the decision of the court
below in refusing to compel the sec
rotary of war by mandamus proceed
ings to reinstate Miss Rebecca J. Tay-
l0r as a clerk in the war department.
Miss Taylor admitted the authorship
Of a newspaper article which the de-

On the president of the United States.
For this she was dismissed. Reinstate-
ment was soughtfthrough the courts

lief and that this was contrary to the

power of appointment; that the right
of removal in the appointing power
was not restricted with the single ex-
ccption that no removal could be made
because of the refusal Of an employee
to contribute money or services to a
political party.
