RESULT OF KEEP INQUIRY

IkI WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Public Print
w er F. W. Palmer practically has
been Ousted from office. 1t was
learned authoritatively tonight that Pres
ident Roosevelt has demanded Mr.. Palm
er's resignation, to take effect on the
18th inst
The demand of the president for MIR.
Palmer's resignation was due primarily
to the latters action in trying TO force
Oscar J. Ricketts,. foreman of printing,
and l. c. Ray. a foreman OF division, out
of the government printing office. Mr..
Palmer asked for the resignation of Rick
etts and Hay on the ground that they had
been insubordinate.
Resignation Asked.
As soon as President Roosevelt learned
of the situation that had developed he
directed Public Printer Palmer TO for
ward his resignation. to take effect in
two weeks.
1t has been known for some time that
Mr.. Palmer would not be reappointed 10
his present office. For several months
before President Roosevelt left Washing
ton for Oyster Bay he was casting about
for a suitable man for the position of
public printer. He offered it to John \.
Sleicher of New York. but he declined il,
having something better in view Until
this time there has been no change in
the situation.
Divided Into CIiques.
The investigation made by the Keep
commission into the letting of a contract
for seventy-two Lanston type setting ma
chimes for use in the government print
ing office disclosed a serious condition of
afIairs IN the management of the office.
the office forces being divided into
cliques The cliques were so detrimental
10 the government that the standard of
efficiency in the establishment was re-
duced materially.
The evidence adduced By the commits
sion in the course of its inquiry created
much bitter feeling among the men hold
ing high positions in the office. One of
the direct results OF this FEELING was the
demand made by Public Printer Palmer
for the resignation of Ricketts, and Hay.
President Acted Promptly.
As the Keep commission inquiry. so far
Is known, developed nothing 10 the dis
advantage OF Ricketts, or Hay, the pres
ldent acted promptly IN taking the whole
matter out of Palmer's hands and laying
il in the hands of the Keep commission
for such further investigation as might
be necessary. Coupled with this action
OF the president was the demand on Mr.
Palmer Tor his resignation,
With the incoming of Mr. Palmers sue
cessOr-and there Is ample authority for
the statement that he has not been Sc
lected yet-it is expected a thorough re-
organization of the working force of the
government printing office will take
place. Among the men mentioned i'm con-
nection with the office are Oscar j.
Ricketts,, whom the public printer sought
10 remove; II. l.. Brian, chief clerk of the
office: William S Rossiter chief clerk of
the census bureau and John Leech, public
printer in the Philippines The office
pays a salary OF $500 a year. The an
nual disbursements for the government
printing office aggregate about 100000.

Train With Equipment Delayed.

The hardness with which Camp Taft
comes into being is due to the fact that
the cars containing all equipment and
tents did not arrive until noon The
heavy train was split at Nephi, the
guardsmen going on ahead. There We're
no tents pitched until the middle of the
afternoon. although once camp equipment
arrived work progressed rapidly, the
ground having been staked out in ad
vance.
1t is likely that all history in the fu-
ture, as far as the camping guardsmen

the time that Camp Taft was pitched.
