Ex0NERATES ROOSEVELT.
Civil Service Reform League Commit
tee Makes Its Renort.

New York, April 5.-The report of the
special committee appointed by the
National Civil Service Reform league
to investigate the political activity on
the part of the officeholders has been
made public.
The conclusions of the committee
briefly stated. are that charges made
by certain newspapers to a great ex-
ton is reported in the allegations that
Mr.. Roosevelt coerced certain federal
officeholders into the support of Mr..
Taft for the Republican nomination.
The committee finds that evil
dence to sustain the charges made is
wholly lacking. On the contrary,
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 the political cam
paigns.
On the broad question of offcehold-
ers' pernfcfous activity in politics how
ever the committee finds a most un-
desirable situation exists. Of the
more than 100000 general off1ceholders
one-third are not amenable to civil
service classification.
These often exercise a powerful in
f1uence in politics and constitute, in
the opinion of the committee menace
to free institutions. The remedy is to
be found, the committee says, in ex-
tending the classified competitive SER
vice and a clearer definition of the ex-
ecutive order governing political activ-
lty in the unclassified service.

WET OR DRY ISSUE
Liquor Question Is Being Voted on in
Twcnty-Seven Michigan Counties.

Detroit. April 5.-"Wet' or dry" is
the question of the hour today in ct
counties in the lower peninsular of
Michigan which are voting on local
option. There are more than 1000 sa-
looms and IA breweries and wholesale
liquor houses in these counties which
will be driven out of business if the
campaign of the anti-saloon league re-
suits in success in all of the counties
In addition to the vote on the liquor
question, two justices of the supreme
court, two regents of the University of
Michigan, member of the state board
of education and six members of the
state board Of agriculture are to be
chosen today.
Confronted by the most ambitious
campaign which the anti-saloon
league has ever undertaken against
them in Michigan. the liquor interests
have made hard fight. 1t was gem
orally conceded today that local op-
ton was sure to carry in number of
the counties. Allegan, Berrien and
Ottawa counties include in their bor-
ders many of the Lake Michigan re-
sorts which are extensively patronized
by people from Chicago and the west
and much interest has attached to the
possible effect on this summer busi-
ness. In Washtena county is located
the University of Michigan at Ann
Arbor, and the drys have made much
of the beneficial effect which they
contend local option would have on it's
1000 students
In Jackson county there are 1O3
saloons and two breweries

in Chicago.

Circulars were received at the San
ia Fe general offices today which an
nounce several changes of interest
over the entire circuit.
F. A. Lehman. of Chicago, who for
the past two years has held the posi-
ton of superintendent of transporta-
ton, has been promoted to take the

These appointments date effective

nounced until today. This is portion
of the program of changes which is
necessitated under the new. program
of operation of the Santa Fe, which
has been divided into two operating
sections
All the meg affected by these
changes are we'll known in Santa Fe
railroad circles, as all are among the
older employees and have held posi-
tions Of prominence and of system i'm
portance for many years.
Mr.. Lehman was in the Chicago Of
fees of the Santa Fe for many years,
working for some time as chief clerk
in the office of J. w. Kenrick, second
vice president. Two years ago when
Mr.. Kouns, at that time superinten-
dent of transportation, was promoted
to the position of assistant to the gen.
era1 manger, Mr.. Lehman was made
superintendent of transportation,
which position he has just left.
c. B. Strohm, who becomes superin-
tendent of transportation, has been
with the Santa Fe for upwards of
twenty-five years. A number of years
back, he was a trainmaster of one of
the Kansas divisions. He has been
superintendent of the Chicago ter
minal for fifteen years. His promotion
comes in recognition of years of un-
firing and faithful service

POOR COAL CONTRACT.
Chicago Said to Be at Mercy of
"Loophole" Specifications.

Chicago. April 5.-Members of the
Chicago Coal Dealers association are
investigating charges that the city is
eXpending large sums for coal. pur-
chased upon slipshod and "Ioophole'
specifications.
1t is declared the contract entered
INTO by the city is such that ample
opportunity is given for favoritism
ana that even an avenue is left open
whereby dealer may agree to fur
nlsh superior grade of coal and de-
llVer much inferior article.
The coal dealers lay special stress
upon the provision in the specifica-
tlons giving the commissioner of pub
lie works the right to test coal de-
llvered either by the evaporation
method or by what is known as the
analytical test 1t is asserted that the
commissioner can interpret the
specifications 'to suit his own con-
venience." Attention is called to the
fact that the United States govern
ment years since abandoned the
proposition of purchasing coal upon
the basis of evaporative tests and now
buys all of its coal upon the ANALYSIS
basis. The federal specifications il
is asserted, are in use in nearly ali of
the large cities of the United States.

MRS. SAMPSON ON TRIAL
Widow of the Admirars Nephew
Charged With killing Her Husband.

Lyons, N. Y, April 5.-Calmly as
serting her innocence and belief in her
ultimate release. Mrs. Georgia Allyn
Sampson was placed on trial today be-
fore Justice Albert T. Rich of the su-
preme court. on q charge of shooting g
and killing her husband, Harry
Sampson. nephew of Admiral Samp-
son at the Allyn homestead near
Macedon. n. Y, on November I, 1908.
Many townspeople were present
when court oDened.
Harry Sampson was shot following
a quarrel with his wife over a letter
she had received from a young man in
Rochester
The state contends that Mrs. Samp-
son killed her husband with the rifle
which was found in the pantry, re-
cooked and the discharged shell half
elected
Mrs. Allyn, mother of Mrs Samp-
son, it is expected, will testify that she
heard Sampson say during the quar-
rel:
II would rather be dead than live
another day with Georgia.
District Attorney Joseph Gilbert
has pinned the whole of the states
case on the testimony of the de-
fendant's father and mother and ner
family ana DIR. Hamilton, a gun ex
pert.
From the states witnesses, the de-
fense possibly will seek to show that
Mrs Sampson was not down stairs
when the shooting took place, but on
the second floor.
Mrs. Sampson was accompanied to
court by Miss Theresa Collins, daugh-
ter of Sheriff Collins and Mrs. Anna
Kaye of Chicago. an aunt. Frank

cERvERA is DEAD
He Commanded the Spanish Fleet at
Santiago De Cuba

Puerto Real, Spain, April 5.-Vice
Admiral Pascual Cervera, who COM
manded the Spanish fleet in the bat
tie of Santiago, Cuba, died here Satur-
day afternoon
The name of Admiral Cervera, or
rather Admiral PascuaI de Cervera of
Topete, recalls the man who guided
an inferior force from starvation into
the jaws of inevitab BILE defeat one early
July morning nearly eleven years ago,
and virtually sealed the fate of
SPANS little war with an overpower-
ing foe, if the result of that conflict
ever was in doubt. To have remained
in the harbor would have meant to
eat the already scanty supplies of the
garrison, with no object in view at the
end. There was one chance of escape
one in thousand-and Cervera,
diplomatist, not warrior, took the
chance. For a time he was the pris-
oner-guest Of the conquering nation
and then he went back to Spain and
to trial. He was acquitted. He should
never have been tried save for a beat
en- nations revolt at the bitterness of
defeat.
Cervera was born at Medina Sidon-
ia, province of CadiZ, February IS,
1889. The families of both his father
and mother were of the oldest and
proudest in Spain. He won honors in
the royal Spanish naval college and
received his first commission in June,
1855. In 1862 he became a second
lieutenant, in 1868 a first and in 1873
commander He helped suppress the
first Cuban rebellion and became a
captain in 1891 and real admiral in
1895.
In 1901 he was i'll at Cadiz, but re-
covered. In 1903 he was gazetted a
life senator of Spain.
Early in life Cervera served in the
diplomatic CORPS in Washington

looked to be in fine health and spirits,
that his eye was bright and clear and
that he was as jolly as when on his
campaign tour of the west last sum-
mer. 1.-THE president said Mr..
Dolley looked and acted as though
he was complete master of the situa-
tion and showed no trace of care or
anxiety nor did he appear to be ner-
vous now that he is face to face with
the problems of the nation. He talked
cordially about Kansas and what a
fine reception he received here during
the campaign. We had quite a long
talk about the tariff fight in congress
and the president is deeply interested
in every phase of the tariff con-
troversy. He asked particularly about
vision of the tariff and bore himself
as one who strongly and unyieldingly
favored an honest revision of the tariff
schedules.
when it came to a discussion of
the bank guaranty question we found
that the president had thoroughly in
formed himself onsthat question. He
met the point at issue fairly and
squarely and assured us of a square
deal. He said that he had had his
own expressions made on the stump
last summer regarding guaranty of
deposits looked up and read to him.
He still stood pat on it. He was not
opposed to voluntary guaranty of de-
posits along practical lines. He had
read the Kansas law carefully and
found no objections to it as regards
politics or administrative policy. 1t
was entirely different from the Bryan
idea to which he was opposed, he
said. He talked the matter over with
Wickersham and the comptroller of
the currency and asked for a fair and
impartial hearing for the Kansans.
HE did not hurry us away, but
rather urged us to lengthen our in
terview and even arranged for a sec
ond audience for us after we had held
our conference with the attorney gen.
eral in case we should still be dis
satisfied.
'As regards the conference itself
Attorney General Wickersham sat as
sort of judge of the court and his
opinion of the matter will be taken
as the law by the comptroller of the
currency.
1--WE expect decision early this
week Gov. Stubbs will stay in Wash
ington and await that decision and
then take advantage of his second
audience granted by the president to
appeal to Taft in case Wickersham
rules completely against us. We
stand ready to meet any objections of
fered to the law and will correct
them if they are pointed out OF
course we cannot do a thing further
if the attorney general simply says
no without why OF Wnere1Or.
''Mr Wickersham admitted after the
conference that the government
could not take away the charters of
national banks if the latter took part
in the guaranty of deposits plan, but
held that the point at issue was rather
the apparent illegality of both state
and nation taking control of a failed
national bank"
An Interpretation of the law by the
supreme court of Kansas, a special
session of the legislature, a second
appeal to President Taft or a knock
out blow after hard fight, these are
at present the alternatives of the
situation while awaiting Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham' s opinion on whether
or not the Kansas guaranty law shall
apply to national as well as state and
private banks.
