said in the last few weeks about the
Liberty and Rosedale street car line.
Committees have been appointed to
solicit subscriptions of money and
work, but up to the present time we
have not been able to learn anything
about the extension of the car line
in case they get what they want. At
first it was supposed that they would
follow as near as practicable the pub
lie road, but now we have a rumor
that it will go to the rock pit and
then south to the Grouse place, then
east of the Miles place and then on
to Rosedale, carrying Liberty off the
track entirely, so until we know more
about it, we will not feel like promis-
ing anything toward it, Yours re-
spectfully, G. Ia WEAVER.

All Government Clerks
Under CipiL Service
President Believed to Plan Extension Of
Classification to Employees on Polls-Eie
May Take Prompt Action.

While the President has taken no
definite action. it is believed he will
shortly issue an order placing the 500
or 700 unclassified clerks now in the
Government service on the civil service
rolls
It is also said he intends to bring
under the classified service employees of
this grade all over the United States,
and then put an end to the appointment
OF any more OF them
As yet it has not been decided whether
they shall be compelled to submit to
an examination. This question has
caused considerable worry to some of
the older clerks, who, though they have
served faithfully for six or seven years
fear they will not be able to pass. and
that with failure they, may lose the pit
tance they now enjoy.
Visitors at the White House have been
promised that action is to be taken
shortly and that none of the clerical
IL borers need fear for their places
A Senator who discussed the matter
with the President said today that old
emmoyes would be let off easily, much
more so than applicants from the out
side.
AT present it is the purpose to examine
