RuLes of CiVH Service Fail
To Satisfy This Postmaster

Edward De Rajsne, assistant post
master at Winterpeck, Va, appears TO
believe with the far from very late Sir
Robert Walpole, of England. that every
man has his price, but when, If the
charge be true, he tried to bribe the
whole Civil Service Commission of the
United States with Sc, he fell down
pretty hard, and in falling started the
untangling Of tale that for strange
ness and variety has never been equaied
in the annals of that staid Old body.
De Raisne, already under arrest on a
charge Of attempted bribery, appears
from the story OF those who have in
vestigated the case. to have become the
victim of his own ambition. Some time
ago he took the civil service examina-
tion for the position of rural mail car
rier. according 10 the story.
He failed 10 get an appointment after
that examination and he decided that
he would write to the commission,
giving his personal views about that
affair so unpleasant TO himself.
Ee sent his letter to the commission

names of those successful in the tests,
which he had failed to meet, SHOULD. in

centage, in line for the position Of rural
carrier.
The commission thought such letter
rather surprising. and an investigation
was ordered.
1t was then that De Raisne. ACCORDING o
10 the story. begun to get in his fine
work. He heard, It is presumed. of the
order for an investigation. and II is
charged. Immediately wrote to some. one

the matter be kept quiet.
It is understood that De Raisne woul5

tells. following the beginning Of the
investigation. but before the special in
vesigator had concluded his researches
regarding that letter. and the reasons
for il, De Raisne had been taken into
custody on the charge of writing the
second.
Tho special investigator has not made
his full report, but civil service officials
acknowledged last night that the story
is correct.
De Raisne is twenty-one years old,
and a man Of good appearance. He has

The second floor was occupied by +.
