prominent official in the treasury de-
partment, was the charge made today

promotion" he said, "seems to be
almost wholly for women who have
husbands in the departments. This
is getting to be a city of official fam
lilies holding positions under the gov
ernment."
Whole families. he said, are en-
ployed in the government departments
credited to states which the younger
members of the families have never
seen.
Mr.. McCumber urged the necessity
of his amendment requiring actual resi-
dence by the applicant from a state
which was stricken out by the con-
ferees.
Senator Gallinger said the law of ap,
portionment was a mere farce in Its
application.
Senat tor Lodge supported Mr.. Nc
Cumber's amendment.
Perjury and false certificates are
given by applicants for the govern
ment service said Senator Carter.
THE civil service commissions seems
to me to be accountable to the coun-
try and to congress for permitting this
condition to exist"
Senator La Toilette said that what
ever the fault might be, congress was
to blame.
Senator Hepburn advocated a term
of departmental service limited to ten
wears.

TELLS GRAPHIC STORY
OF LYNCHING AT ADA
GUARD ON DUTY GIVES IN DE-
TAIL WORK OF MOB
Saws Officers Tried to Protect Jail and
Prisoners, but Rioters outnum-
bered and Overpowered
Them

DALLAS. Tex. April 20.-In special
Joe Carter, one of the four guards on
duty at the time of the lynchlng OF lhe
four cattlemen at Ada, Okla, yester-
day, is quoted as follows The 1rst
/ knew of the presence OF the mop Was
at 2;10 o'clock, when six masked men
suddenly appeared in the waiting room
in the run-around, near the cells, and
covered me and Jim McCarty with theii
guns. McCarty and / held the Watch
for this part of the night.
.They told us to step aside and hand
over the Jail keys. / told them we mao
no keys; that a gentleman in another
room had the keys.
"At this moment about twenty more
men appeared, thronging through the
hall of the court house and from every
where else, it seemed to me, saying
Keep quiet, men, and give up the keys.
"The men were all masked. They
kept me and McCarty under cover or
their guns and proceeded to wake up
Guards Walter Coins and Bob Nestor,
and took the keys away from them'
Hit on the Head
"Nestor rose from his bed with his
gun, and the masked men hit him on
the head with their guns and left him
stunned. The men forced Coins to open
the heavy doors to the cells. They then
took Miller from his cell and fastened
rope around his neck and bound his
hands at his back with wire.
Jesse West was the next man taken
out, and the mob said: Tell us what
you know about this
West said, I'll tell you nothing:
They then hit him on the head with
their shooters and said, 'D-n you, tell
us what you know about it.
West repeated, I'll tell you nothing,
and gave fight to the mob.
"The rest of the prisoners then be
gan to plead for their lives. Then
rushed through and went out on the
street for help. and met the two night
policemen, and we all went back. and
got one third of the distance down the
hall of the court house when we were
again held up and compelled to retreat.
and | never saw any of the mob leave
the court house or jail, as it was to-
tally dark on the streets"

CONFERENCE REPORT
REJECTED BY SENATE
Census Bill Fails to Include Amend
ment Requiring Civil Service
Applicants to Reside in
Home States

WASHINGTON. April 20.-By an aye
and nay vote the senate rejected today
the conference report on the census bill
because of its failure to include the
McCumber amendment requiring appli-
cants for civil service employment to
reside in the states claimed by them as
their homes.
Senators Hale and Bailey took the
view that the course of the senate in
seeking to amend the census bill by
changing a general law in relation to all
appointments placed that body at dis
advantage in it's dispute with the house
of representatives.
Mr.. Bailey denounced the civil service
law as a "sham and humbug," and
declared the debate hah shown that this
"just and perfect law" had been made
to cheat communities a. well as in
dividuals.
An aye and no vote on the confer
ence report resulted in it's rejection by
a vote of 32 to 43, and a further con-
ference was ordered.

BRITISH COLUMBIA RAISES
TEN CENTS ON SHINGLES

VANCOUVER, B. c., April 20.-Brit-
ish Columbia shingles advanced in price
10 cents today. The increase has been
expected for the past three weeks by
the trade, owing to the fact that mills
have for over a month been inundated
with orders.
Notice was sent out this morning to
all travelsr to advance their quotations
on singles to So (. o. b. mill Vancouver.
This rate applies to British Columbia
stars, and is the basis on which prices
for lower grades are made.
1t is not probable that the advance in
prices will result in any decrease in
the demand, IS per cent of which comes
from the United States where the high
grade shingles of British Columbia
command the highest price on the
market.

M MULLEN PROPERTY MAKES SHOWING
 0F SILVER
GOOD QUALITY OF ORE STRUCK
 ON THREE HUNDRED FOOT K LEVEL OF MINE.
WAS ONCE FINE SILVER MINE
REGENT EXAMINATION BY FIX PERT RESULTS IN VERY FAv-
 oRABLE REPORT.

A strike of some importance was made several days ago in the Stonewall Jackson silver mine at McMillen, which is being reopened By the McMillen Stonewall company.
 Ore was struck on the 300-foot level, in crosscut about ninety feet from the new shaft. Samples of the ore brought in by MT. Ridenour are scanned with silver. Lyman Newton. who came in from McMillen on Thursday, said that the ore in the crosscut seemed to be improving. President and General Manager V. Y. Smith left town for the mine immediately upon learning of the strike.
 The old Stonewall Jackson mine, in the early years of the district, when silver was practically tho only metal mined, was one of the principal pro ducers, the ore being extremely rich. McMillen camp was then stroug rival of Globe, and at orc time looked as though it might grow to be the chief town and county seat of Gila county The Stonewall Jackson mine was not worked out, but the company ceased op- erations because of serious disagree mert mong the directors and the ie- cline in the price of silver. Old timers in the district who know the property, believe that if properly developed to a depth of 800 or 1000 feet, the Stone wall Jackson would again become 2 large and profitable producer of the white metal, with the probability of sulphides carrying copper as well as silver being developed.
 Very recently bond on the property was given to Michigan people, whose expert examined the property and made a very favorable report.

BULGE IN GRAMS.

CHICAGO, Arpil 2.--Rallying from 8 rather weak tone at the start, the wheat market became exceedingly strorg and prices were easily foree.i be- yond the high point of the season re. corded on the previous session.
 There wore declines at the start of Is and l-1 to i2 to 5-S, due to the heavy tone of the European market, particularly that at Liverpool, which was boarshIy affected by unexpectedly liberal exports for the week from Ar gentina and Australia. Leading bulls gave the market good support early in tue day and a iirmor tone soon develop ed, which became stronger as the ses- sion advanced.
 More crop damage reports were to- ceivei, which helped to strengthen the market, but the chief reason for buoy aney was tho constantly increasing de- mand for cash grain.
 From 10 5-S, tho low point at the opening, May delivery advanced to l.2l, while July sold up from l07 Is to 10s 5-S. There was some reaction late in the day owing to profit taking, but the market, with the exception of December delivery, in which there was very little trading, closed firm. Final quotations, May l20 5-S; July l0S IS.
 Tho corn market was helped material ly by the bulge in wheat, and by tho popular buliish sentiment prevalent in the grain markets generally. The close was firm at net gains of IS to l-4 and s-s, May being 67 5~i and July 6612 to 66 5-s

 LAST MONTH.

As the Silver Belt predicted, the Old Dominion produced in the month of March very nearly three million pounds of blister copper. The figures furnish ed us from the general office of the company yesterday are 2,93o,0O0 pounds. The curtailment was due to the low price of copper, the manage. ment deeming it inexpedient to make a larger output. The mine never looked go well as it does at the present time and could easily supply the ore for a monthly production of 4,500,000 pounds of copper, should market condi- tions justify the increase.
