HostiIities Temporarily Suspended
III Feeling Between white and
CoIored Draaghtsmen Remains,

Although Chief Examiner hemper, who
is acting supervising architect. says he
knows of no investigation. It was learned
Yesterday that the recent fight between q
colored and white employe Of that de
partment is the subject of an official in
uuiry by the Treasury Department.
II Is said that the investigation was
ordeNd yesterday by an official Of the
department, notwithstanding the state
meat Of Mr.. Kemper, who said that he
had had no official notification Of such a
course.
In the meantime, no further hostilities
have been reported between the two prin-
cipals of the mill. which Seems 10 have
stirred up a mild sensation in the Treas
ury Department
William p Rider. the white contestant
would make no comment on the mill yes
terday. There is, however. a feeling
among the other employees that if an
opportunity presents itself there viii be
an interesting sequel 10 the story.
Rider is a clean-cut fellow Of an excel
lent Maryland family. and his fellows
say that ne is one e the last persons
from whom they would expect an un-
called-for quarrel OF Woodson, little IS
known by the clerks. since he was ap-
pointed only a few days ago.
Chief Examiner Kemper said yesterday
that the talk Of discrimination was ride
ulous. as the color question did not enter
into the examination papers, but that the
whole thought of the architects Office
was to secure the most competent men.
In illustrating this point, one Of the Off
cials of the Civil Service Commission re-
ferred TO an incident which happened un-
der the last administration OF President
Cleveland. when Eugene Higgins, Of Bal
timore, was chief Of appointments and
known 10 be opposed 20 negroes. Il was
desired that a Southern man be given a
position. and to avoid the possibility of
appointing a negro the name Patrick
