showed fraud in the civil service ex-
aminations, the fraud in one instance
duplicating Mr.. Leib's sister. After re-
viewing the case the President con-
cluded:

sistence in wrongdoing on your part it
seems to me that there is no alter
nate but to remove you from Office. You
are accordingly hereby removed from
the position of assistant treasurer of
the United States"
President Roosevelt's statement,
which is in the form of letter to Mr..
Leib, is as follows:
II have carefully considered the pa
pers in your case and the statements
made by you in your behalf and by Mr..
Cooley on behalf of the Civil Service
Commission. 1t appears to me very
clear that there has been a constant
and consistent effort on your part to
evade the provisions of the civil SER
vice law. to hamper its workings as far
as possible and to obstruct in every
way action of the commission"
