Special Committee Files Report Of
Its Findings After Investigation.

Charges Are Sustained In Part, a
Notable Exception Being the Al
legations That Roosevelt Co
creed Office-holders Into Sup
port Of Taft.

New York.-The report of the spe.
cial committee appointed for the Ma,
tional Civil Service Reform league to
investigate the political activity on
the part of office-holders was made
public Sunday, April 4. The conch
sions of the committee briefly stated
are that charges made by certain
newspapers to great extent. are sus
tanned notable exception is re
ported in the allegations that Mr.
Roosevelt coerced certain federal OF
fice.holders into the support of Mr.
Taft for the Republican nomination.
The committee finds that evidence
to sustain the charges made Is Who'll
~ lacking. On the contrary, Mr.
Roosevelt Is credited with advancing
civil service reform by so amending
the civil service rules as to prohibit
employees in the competitive service
from taking part in political cam
paigns.
On the broad question of offlce-hold
ers pernicious activity in politics
however, the committee finds that Q
most undesirable situation exists. OF
the more than 100000 general office.
holders one.third are not amenable to
civil service classification. These of
ten exercise a powerful influence in
politics and constitute, in the opinion
of the committee, menace to free
institutions.
The remedy is to be found, the com.
mittee believes. in extending the
classified competitive service and a
clearer definition of the executive or.
der governing political activity in the
unclassified service.

CARELESS CIGARETTE SMOKER
CAUSES GREAT CONFEDERATION
Fire Starts In Center Of Fashionable
Residence District and Rsges
Until Thirty.two Blocks Are
Burned Over.

Fort Worth, Texas. as.-Starting in q
barn. presumably from carelessly
thrown cigarette, fire Saturday after
noon destroyed property in the south.
ern portion of Fort Worth, valued at
from $2,500,000 to $3,0o0,00O, caused
the death of at least one person, ].
j. Newton of Krum, Texas, and rem.
dered several thousands of persons
homeless.
The fire originated at Jennings ave-
nue. and Petersmith street, in the CEN
ter of the fashionable residence dis,
trict, and, famed by a stiff wind, was
beyond control within fifteen minutes.
Spreading to the south, 1t burned its
way through thirty-two blocks and
continued until IL had swept through
the yards of the Texas & Pacific rail-
road buildings and large amount Of
rolling stock, where the fire practical
ly burned itself out.
Three church buildings, the Broad
way Baptist, Presbyterian and the
Swedish chapel, were among the
buildings destroyed, as was the Pres.
byterian sanitarium. The patients Of
the latter institution were all re-
moved in safety.
Thousands helped in an effort to
rescue household goods, but their ef-
forts were TO little avail because the
wind was blowing a gale and carried
the flames for blocks ahead of the ac-
tual conflagration The fight was
largely centered at the depot of the
Texas q Pacific railroad
Horses and buggies laden with re-
fugees were cut off by flames and
had to be abandoned in the streets.

Vanderbilt Road to Extend Railway
From Lander, Wyoming, to
Utab's Capital.
Deal Made Which viii Give the
Northwestern an Outlet to the
Pacific Coast over the D. &
r. G. and Western
Pacific.

New York.-The Chicago & North
western railroad, a Vanderbilt line
which has been 'pocketed' by the Pa
cific coast extension of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, has, it is
learned, bought a large stock inter
est in the Denver & Rio Grande. The
current report in Wall street is that
the Northwestern quietly picked up
block of 10000 shares of Denver
common in the open market while
that stock was ranging between 35
and As. At an average of 40, this
would represent an investment of
about s5,000000. An interest of this
sort would permit the Northwestern
to gain an outlet to the Pacific coast
over the lines of the Denver & Rio
Grande and its Western Pacific, which
Salt Lake and San Francisco, and is
partially in operation now.
The Northwestern would have to
do some building on its own account
to make physical connection with
the Gould lines. It's present western
terminus is at Lander. Wyo.. but it
has always been understood that the
road was going on southwest to Salt
Lake City, and that the bonds which
1t authorized some time ago were
partially reserved for that building
purpose. Since the st. Paul built it's
own line to the coast and the Chi
cago. Burlington & Quincy bought
control of the Colorado C Southern,
the Northwestern has been shut in
and robbed of opportunity for expan-
sion. The Gould alliance would be
about the best arrangement 1t could
make.
