After it is reported several questions will be reopened.
 The greater part of the day was spent in discussing the eighth section of the bill, relating to the personnel of the in- terstate commerce commission, resulting in the elimination of the entire section, and the restoration of the present law, which provides for five commissioners at salaries of $7500. During the day Sen ator Tillman made a further explana- ton concerning his negotiations with the President and had former Senator Chandlers memoranda read. The Presi- dents letter to Senator Allison was also read at the instance of the Iowa sena- tor The session opened with personal statement by MT. Tillman concerning his relation with MT. Aldrich.

PRESIDENT SPEAKS
 0N CIVIL SERVICE
  Talks to Members of Civil Ser vice Reform League FREE OF POLITICAL HARM Observance in Letter and in Spirit In sures the CIeanest and Most Eff cient Governmental Service
 Says President.
FREE OF POLITICAL HARM

Washington, May 15.-Presldent Roose- welt delivered an address at the White House this evening to representatives of several states and municipal civil service commissions and the National Civil Ser vice Reform league who met here today for conference with the commissioners of the general government with view to considering questions for the betterment of civic service throughout the coun- Atry The President said;
 "The enemies of this movement for re- form are always on the watch to find some imperfection which they can dilate upon and enlarge out of all proportion and insist that 1t is representative of the movement For that reason 1t is par ticularly incumbent upon you who are engaged in the actual administration of the laws, national, state or municipal to make it clear so that no one can fail to see that you are concerned chiefly in securing the effective business administra- tion of the public service. One of the gratifying things of recent years has been the rapid spread of interest in the whole movement, and because of that interest 1t is peculiarly incumbent upon you to see that there is not chance for the opponents 10 SdN ilidl IL lS iiot pidttitdi. The efficiency of the service with honesty as of course and the keystone of effi- cency. must be the prime test of what you do.
 It's Efficiency.
 After considerable experience in almost every kind of governmental work l have never yet found any position or any branch of the service as regards which the intrusion of political reasons in making appointments do not do damage.
 Practically without exception find that an office where there is laxness in the administration of the civil service law, where there is an effort to circumvent the law. where there is effort to get around it. is an office in which poor service IS rendered; the chance for fraud. for specu- lation, for dishonesty, is always greater in such an office than in the office where the law is well and faithfully observed.
 And while of course 1t is true that the most observance of the civil service law can never result in a thoroughly eni- cient administration of any office yet am inclined more and more to feel that the observance in letter and In spirit of the civil service law is the first re- quisite in obtaining clean. decent, effi- cient governmental services in any branch or bureau of the government"
 General John c. Black. president of the United States civil service commission pre- sided at the opening session.
