WASHINGTON PRODUCE
MARKET

Conditions IN the local produce market
this morning were very gratifying.
The best grade OF nearby Virginia
eggs went up 1 cent on the dozen, and
at the rise the market was very steady.
Butter came in better shipments than
1t has for some time, and as a result
the figures on this commodity were
slightly lower.
Arrivals OF poultry were liberal and
the demand more than ordinarily active
for this early in the week. Live and
dressed turkeys sold at better prices
today than they did last week. Mer-
chants are fearing another warm spell,
and the dressed supply Is falling OF
II the unreasonable weather continues
any length OF time it will mean another
scarcity In dressed poultry.
Game was plentiful and, although the
deu-nd is as active as usual, prices On
Quail dropped slightly. Rabbits con-
unued to bring fair prices with tile
demand active and figures steady.

GOVERNMENT JOBS
SCOFFEO BY PUBLIC
Civil Service Report Shows
insufficient Number of
Applicants.

That. on the whole. Government en-
rloyment is not attractive TO the men
and women who are seeking work, is
1he statement made in the annual re-
port OF the Civil Service Commission,
which has been submitted TO the Presi-
dent.
According TO the report, during the
past year I3C, Jos persons were examined.
g. 95f passed, and 46.7l2 were appointed
As compared with the previous year this
IS an increase Of 1901 in the number
examined, A226 in the number that
passed. and 4S35 IN the number ap-
pointed.
Notwithstanding. the increase in the
number Of those examined. the commits
sion points out that in many lists, such
as stehosraphers and. typewriters, the
number Of eigibIes has been insufficient
This is attributed TO the fact that com
lrerciaI employment offers more advaa-
tages than Government work.
after pointing out that the Depart
uent Of Justice has been a valuable al
" in prosecuting persons for violations
of the civil service laws, the commits
sion points ont that there are now 3S7. O0J
Officers and employees ia The executive
civil service, of which number 1856 9lS
are subject to examination. OF the 49,

SEWS UP HEART
Of STABBED MAN
DR.. George Tulley Vaughan
Performs Most Difficult
Operation Known.

With five stitches in his heart Richard
Denton, Colored, is improving at the
Emergency Hospital today and It is be-
lteved by DIT. George TuHey Vaughan,
who performed the difficult operation,
that the patient will recover.
Denton, who was stabbed b% John
Woody, now charged with a murderous
assault, seemed cheerful today and be-
lieves he viii live 10 prosecute mis- as
sailant
The operation which Dr.. Vaughan per-
formed on Denton is one OF the most
remarkable known 10 modern surgery
and the sixth OF its kind ever performed
in the United States. only ten sSch
operations are known To medical sci
ence. Denton's heart was sliced In half,
the knife having entered tho center Of
the heart at the top and the slash be-
ing finished at the bottom OF the organ.
In order, TO get at Denton's heart It
was necessary for Dr.. Vaughan to lay
open the entire breast and operate with
skill and quickness. When the patient
was taken to the Emergency Hospital
early yesterday morning he was uncon-
scious and so weak from loss OF blood
that It was not thought he would sur
vive many hours. As a last resort DR..
Vaug han. head surgeon, decided TO at
TEMPT the most difficult and dangerous
operation known.
Denton was operated upon within an
hour after his arrival at the hospital
Eighteen stitches were necessary TO
close the opening IN the colored mans
breast.
Such an operation has never before
been attempted in Washington and
whether or not the patient RECEIVERS Dr.
Vaughan has scored a great triumph.

DOODLE DEfS FACE
SERIOUS PROBLEM
Must Name Ala Election Off
CiaIs From Only 200 Voters
if Party Is Recognized
District Attorney TO Argue
Against Petition of For
l0rn Hearstites

OAKLAND, Oct. 24.-By actual count
there are 260 voters in Alameda county
who have registered as adherents to
the forlorn doodle dee movement, and
out of these Ala election officials must
be chosen. If the petition fled in the
appellate court rs granted Monday.
Yesterday District Attorney Donahue
and members OF the board OF super
visors were served with notice to show
why the Hearst following should not
be allowed half OF the Alameda elec-
tion offices for November on the
ground that their organization had cast
the second largest vote at the election
OF 1906
Donahue was staggered. and asked
County Clerk Cook about the figures.
Cook reported today that the registra-
tion OF the doodle dees in toto was far
below the number of places on the cleo
tion board. He added the comforting
assurance that four out of five OF those
registered would undoubtedly be un-
able TO qualify on account of legal re-
strictions which the law placed upon
such officials. The discrepancy will
have to be met somehow. If the court
decides in favor of the petitioner.
Neither Donahue nor Cook has arrived
at the solution OF the problem. and
only miracle can save the electoral
franchise to the substantial citizens OF
the county if doodle dees are chosen
Donahue will argue before the court
Monday in favor of another class of
partisans. The argument will turn on
the construction of the state law in
it's application 20 the casting Of the
second largest number OF votes in state
or county. In numerous precincts there
was total dsarth OF the HearStiteS on
the registration rolls.
