Defended by Macfarland.

Commissioner Macfarland, when ques-
TONED by a Times reporter, said:
1t would be very regrettable If there
should be any interruption Of the sx-
aminations held for the Commissioners
by the United states Civil Service Com
mission. The Police ard Fire Depart
ments, the Board Of Police and Fire
Surgeons, the Medical Inspectors Of
Public Schools. Physicians 10 the Poor.
ard some other Offices have been filed
from the eligible lists Of such examina-
tiors They give everybody a fair
chance at the appointments. regardless
OF political OF other influences.
Unless Congress passes a civIl service
law for the District government as the
Commissioners have repeatedly re-
quested. this IS the best ARRANGEMENT
that can be made. It's results have JUS
titled it; it ought to be extended. rather
than cur1ailed.'
Richard P. Evans, the attorney for
the plaintiffs ir the suit, explained 10 q
Times reporter that he had brought the
action because a considerable number
of citizens Of the District were inter
ested in II, in addition 10 the two com
plainants ramed in the bill.
No Protection to Candidates.
The real objection, according TO Mr.
Evans, were the regulations under
which appointments from the eligible
list were made. He said that even
though q person stood high up on the
eligible list. this fact proved no assur-
apce to the candidate that he would re-
ceive appointment. but that the COM
missioners had reserved the right 10
appoint anyone they pleased. and used
the list simply as a convenience
Filed with the bill is a letter from

that examinations for the Commits
sioEers of the District are held merely

Mr.. Hunter said. The trouble Rith
Ireland Is landlordism. The people can

the western counties Of Ireland. De-
pressing. faminous conditions are GER

The potato crop has been an e9sire fail
