President Roosevelt Wants Com
petent Persons Employed in
Census Work
pENouNcEs PATRONAGE SYSTEM
In specia. Message President Urges
Congress to Compel 1000 Employees
Required to Take Civil Service Ex-
animation = Former Examinations
Cloak to spoiIs System.

Washington, Jan. Elm message
to the house of representatives today
President Roosevelt urged that In
preparation for the work Of taking the
next census the 1000 or more addi-
tional employees needed be appointed
only after competitive examination un-
der the rules of the civil service COM
mission, and strongly denounced the
"patronage system" Of making ap-
pointments, saying the civil service
commission was fully capable of Sc
curing the most efficient force.
The non-competitive examinations
used in selecting the force at WASH
ington for the last two censuses, the
president said, served only "as cloak
to hide the nakedness Of the spoils
system" Such examinations, he de-
clared, were useless as checks upon
patronage appointments. '"They pre-
he said, 1.-The most incompetent
from being appointed, but they do not
secure the appointment of the most
competent, and they afford no check
upon political appointments" The
president said it is idle to say that
such examinations are fair.

Secretary of War Tells Con.
gress Reforms Must Be In
augulated
GRADUATED INCREASE
Would Make Service Attractive to Good
Men by Establishing Service Corps
to Do Military Work Soldiers Must
New Reform-Larse Appropriation
Asked.

Washington. Jan. 6.-Secretary Taft
is strong advocate of increased pay
for his army. His annual report, just
sent to congress, completely dispels
any doubt that may exist as to his po-
.sition. The report begins with a for
midable presentment Of figures show
of the regular army in recent years,
the loss last year being 4,42S men.
and the pressing need for officers to
replace those now detailed on receiv-
ing duty or as military instructors in
educational institutions.
The secretary earnestly favors the
adoption for the army ~ the naval
system, under which 90 president is
authorized to fix theSg IS Of pay with
in defined limits, a, a means of OBJ
tanning better discipline and higher ef-
ficiency. He recommends the creation
of the general service corps to relieve
the soldiers of the vast amount of un-
work they are now called upon
to perform.
In his opinion tHs military service
should be SO attractive and desirable
that it will not be difficult to get hold
of the class of men needed for the en-
listed personnel and to make army
service life work, as it used to be,
by offering rewards for proficiency and
a greater increase of pay for length Of
service.
Accompanying the report are esti-
mates for the support of military es-
during the next fiscal
year, the same being s11,583,000. which
is greater than last years appropria-
tions. Ninety per cent of the increase
is for coast defense works, of which
about s21.7O0,000 is required for the
United States and s14,S00,000 for in
sular possessions. In concluding the
report, Taft recommends that congress
make adequate provisions for the erec-
ton of a statue to Edward H. Stanton
in Washington.

caustic Letter Styles AdmiraI's Resig-
nation as Childish.
Washington, D. c., Jan. ,6-President
Roosevelt has used the big stick with
crushing effect upon Rear Admi i
Willard Ell. Brownson, who recently
resigned the office of chief of the bu-
reau of navigation, and the officers
who have been supplying newspapers
and magazines with information tend
ing to discredit the naval administra-
ton.
In an official memorandum to the
yesterday Mr. Roosevelt declares that
Admiral Brownson-
Was guilty of gross impropriety in
resigning rather than carry out the
orders of his superior.
Had acted in an unseemly and i'm
proper manner.
Had taken a step prejudicial to the
interests of the navy and threatening
to impair confidence in the service.
Inferentially had permitted personal
piuue, wounded vanity or factional
feeling, which was not merely childish,
but in the highest degree reprehensible.
to render him disloyal to the navy and
the country.
The president trounced the critics of
the navy by charging them with:
Hysterical exaggeration.
Gross eNaggeratiorl.
Malicious untruthfulness.
Serving an individual or clique OF
individuals.
Iniuring the service.
And by declaring that the conduct OF
officers who had furnished sensation
al material for the articles attacking
the navy:
Was in the highest degree repre-
hensible.
Was deeply mortifying to every Am
erican anxious to uphold the interest
and honor of the navy.
Was unjustifiable, as there had been
Misrepresentation and exaggeration OF
condition.
And that it deserved grave rebuke.
That the people may know the exact
conditions, the president ordered Rear
Admiral Converse, Admiral BroWnson's
predecessor as chief of the bureau of
navigation, to make a complete report
upon the relations of the administrative
bureaus of the navy department.

Annual Report Of Commerce
Commission Shows Companies
Accept Law in Good Faith
CORRECT ABUSES
CARRIERS
Commission Says Readjustment Of
Rates to Conform to Amended Law
Has Been Voluntary in Part-9ene-
fits of Statute Becoming More and
More Apparent.


Washington, Jan. 6.-More signifi-
can't and important, perhaps, than
any other statement in the twenty
first annual report of the interstate
commerce commission. which was
transmitted today to congress, is that
in relation to the attitude of railway
officials toward the new railroad law.
In the discussion of the operation Of
this act the commission says:
by the railway managers almost
without exception the amended law
has been accepted in good faith, and
they exhibit for the most part sin
cere and earnest disposition to conform
their methods to it's requirements"
The commission adds that it was not
expected that reforms could be brought
about without difficulty or delay, "but
1t is an unquestionable fact that great
progress has been made and -hat fur
ther improvement is clearly assured.
To gratifying extent there has been
a readjustm of rates and correction
of abuses by the carriers themselves.
The methods and usuages of one sort
and another which operated to individ-,
ual advantage have been voluntarily
changed and it is not too much to say
that there is now freedom from for
hidden determinations which is actual
and general to a deg never before
approached. AS this =. ,cess goes on,
as special privileges disappear ands
.favoritism ceases to be even suspected,
the indirect but, not less certain bene-
fits of the law will become more and
more apparent"
The amended act has been in force
a little more than sixteen months and
the commission points out that a con-
siderable part of it's time during the
past year has been occupied in giving
administrative construction to various
provisions Of the law for the guid-'
ance of both shippers and carriers.
The report of the commission In
cludes a review of the cases brought
before 1t for rulings, and contains rec
concentrations that a uniform system
of railway accounting be adopted. II
is also recommended that the installa-
tion of the block system be made COM
pulsory, to lessen the number Of COLI
lisions, as the commissions statistics
show that practically all of the pas
sengers killed on trains were from col
lisions or derailments.

FRANCE IS NEUTRAL
Government Much Concerned Over
False Reports That It Is Secretly
Desirious of War Between Japan and
the United States.

Paris. Jan. 6.-The French govern
ment is considerably exercised over
reports cabled to some American pa
pers last week, in which it is repre-
sented as secretly desirious of war be-
tween Japan and the United States,
and the destruction of the American
fleet, with the ultimate object of wit
Panama canal. The Associated Press
is authorized today to declare that
nothing could be further from the
truth. France is a sincere friend Of
both countries, and she is extremely
desirious Of seeing the present diff
culties settled amicably.
