LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS


The Civil Service Commission Is con-
ducting examinations in a number OF
the large cities for the unskilled laboring
positions in the government service. par
ticularly in the postofficcs and custom
houses, and has found that the new
regulations by which candidates for
those places are examined are resulting
in marked difference in the class Of
persons appointed The commission ex-
poets that the regulations which provide
for these examinations, which involve
non-cducational test, but determines
the relative standing OF the applicants
by their physical condition and adapta-
biliiy for laboring work. will prevent
any further cvasions OF the civil service
rules by irregular assignments OF per-
sons not qualified for laboring work, as
the new appointments arc found TO be
dap;cd 10 this class OF employment and
no; to work of higher grade. In the
past many persons have been appointed
as lahorers without regard to their abil-
iiy or inclination 10 do the work re-
quired. and after appointment have Sc
cured assignments TO clerical and other
classified positions.
From now on, unless specific exccp-
,ions are made by the President all ap-
pointments in the executive civil service
OF the government must be made either
from the lists of tho Civil Service Com
mission OF from the lists OF the boards
OF labor employment. which are under

THINKS HocH USED cuRARI.
Chicago Doctor Believes Wives Died Of Subtle
Poison.

Chicago (SpeciaD .---Curari, the most
subtle and deadly poison known to mod
ern science. is believed by Dr. Joseph
Springer, formerly coroner's physician,
to have caused the death q Johann
Hoch's wives.
DR.. Springer is convinced that the
fatal drug was probably administered
by means Of engagement or wedding
rings.
BY turning the inner edge of the
ring said Dr. Springer, 'or making il
rough or sharp in any manner, applying
the curari on the rough edge and then
slipping the ring on the finger so as
TO cause the slightest abrasion Of the
skin, death would follow.
1T would only be necessary for the
slightest quantity OF the poison to reach
the blood. One-sixtieth OF grain of
curari is fatal"
Among the persons who will be asked
10 identify Hoch upon his arrival from
New York is widow, who is said to
have some years ago married man
known as Leo Praeger The descrip-
ton of Hoch talies, it is claimed, with
that OF Praeger.

ried had been left $4,000 life insur-I
ancc. OF this amount, it is alleged,
