Shaw's Charges.

Sir;-The- department has piven caretul consideration to your letter of the 9th ultimo answering the com plant Of the civil service commission oI january D, 1905, relative to alleged irregularities in an examination held for your office on August IF. 1904; n copy or the complaint was sent you rom this office on the 9th ultimo.
 rhe civil service commission can celIed this examination for serious ir regularities and this department be- ileves this action to have been fully Justitled by the facts disclosed in the testimony taken during it's investiga- tlon. From this testimony and your statement the department has reached the conclusion that your sister Miss Esther B. Lieb, was not eligible to take the examination because she had not had three years experience in du- ties similar to those pertaining to the position to be filled. under a reasona- ole construction of the regulations governing examinations for the sub treasury service, From your sisters own statement her claim to have had the experience required cannot be all lowed. The department cannot help but feel that deep personal coaching or Miss Lieb by you for this examina- tion was an act of impropriety on your part in view of your official position and of Miss Liebs relationship to you.
 Gave The Key.
 The department Is also of the opinion that your giving Miss Lieb and H. Wagner, a temporar yclerk, in your office and an applicant for the examination about to take place and known by you to be such. the keys orr answers to the note and coin counting tests, in the form of pencil memoranda to be copied by her, was grossly i'm proper and cannot be too severly cen- sured Such an incident known to your subordinate force could not fail to be prejudicial to good feeling and good discipline in your office and could not fail to impair the confidence of your subordinates in the fair and equitable determination by you of questions relating to the personnel.
 Altogether your conduct in refer ence to this examination Is very un- to the department and the departmet is giving you the bene- Tit of~every doubtful consideration in the attention of the President for his consideration and action. (Signed.) |

PROFESSORS HOLD GAMBLING
IS NOT WRONG IN ITSELF.

Philadelphia, March ll.-Prof. Her
bert Gardiner Lord of the University or
Columbia, and Prof William j. Kirby
OF the Catholic University Of America,
have, In addresses before the Contem-
porary club, stated that they could find
no reason for saying that gambling in
Itself was wrong Both expressed the
opinion that gambling cannot be erad-
Gated from modern life and that the
Wlsest thing 20 do is properly control II,
The discussion was listened to by a dis
tmguished audience,
Prof Kirby after admitting the theo-
retical legitimacy OF gambling, made
IN the schools which might lessen gaW-
bling In the next generation and said
that cities should take up the work OF
regulating gambling as an essentially
city problem,
Gambling is not simply a game OF
chance" said he, for chance IS pres
ont In most business transactions. Gam
bling ia not merely the desire for gain
II Is not merely the means of excite
ment Constitutional gamblers are the
men who desire only gain al play as a
means 10 enable them 10 play again.
1T may seem strange for me TO say
so as a professor OF ethics, but I have
never been able TO find a reason that
viii permit me to say gambling Is
wrong, II rs argued that gambling Ia
wrong because il rs a waste. on tha
contrary there is no destruction Of
wealth In gambling.
Properly done, gambling Is not a
dissipation, but a recreation"
