GOES AFTER FEDERAL
IOI nERS.

New York April 1.-THE report of a
special committee of the National CT
vii Service Reform League goes after
Federal officers for political activity.
The report says in part:
Reports of undue political activity
on the part of federal Office holders
appearing in the press of the country
were gathered together through the
aid of an efficient clipping bureau.
These were examined and the persons
mentioned in them were written to
with requests for full Information, cor
rection Or denial. The replies were
carefully inspected and b most i'm
portant of these Isl were followed
up by an investigation by an assistant
secretary of the League, on the spot.
Final drafts of our conclusions were
submitted to all Office holders and po-
litical leaders who yer unfavorably
involved.
Charges of coercion of office holders
by the president to secure the nomi
nation of a particular candidate have
been inquired into, but evidence &c
sustain those charges is wholly lack
ing. President Roosevelt's appoint
ment lists for a considerable period
were, with his permission, examined
From those lists it would appear thai
presidential appointments prior to the
convention were made in h usua
manner on the recommendation q
senator's, congressman and other:
claiming the patronage of the Office:
involved.
President Roosevelt took a decided
step in advance toward checking th'

and elections seriously interferes with
a free choice If candidates by the
people and in some parts Of the coun
try actually prevents it. The federal
Office holders number over 900, 000, OF
which number one-third are still out
side the civil service rules. These
higher officers, welding wide political
influence through their official posit-
ions and subject to possible d~ictation
from Washington will, as long as they
are permitted to take an active part
in politics, constitute a menace to free
institutions.
AS the most effective and Immediate
remedies for existing conditions, the
Committee urges: ID the extension
by the President of the classified,
competitive service to the utmost linn
it that the law allows; (2) legislation
by Congress permitting the classified
ton of the officers whose appoint
ment is now subject to confirmation
by the Senate, but who perform pure
ly ministerial functions: CD a clear
er definition and Strengthening of
the executive order governing poll
teal activity in the unclassiied SER
vice and the vesting of the power to
investigate cases arising under this
order in the Civil Service Commission
or some other body Independent OF
departmental dictation.

FIRE AT SHELBY HOTEL
CREATES EXCITEMENT.

An over-heated apron" over the
range in the kitchen, caused a fire at
the Shelby Hotel at 1890 this morn
ing. The hot metal of the apron"
set fire to the accumulation of grease
on the top of the range and this rap
idly spread to the walls and ceiling.
The whole kitchen was a mass OF
flames Don and the work of the fire
department consisted in putting out
the fire before 1T reached other parts
of the hotel or the adjoining build
ings. This was done in short order,
and the whole lower loo of the build
ing, as well as three rooms upstairs,
were soaked in the process. The
greatest damage was done with water
but it was necessary to prevent the
further spread of the fire.
w. H. Godair owns the building n
his damages will probably reach three
OF four hundred dollars. Howard and
Easton own the hotel appliances and
their stock damage is about 5000.
Both owners of building and fixtures
are fully insured. The greatest loss
will be to the hotel management, in
loss of vfctuals that were prepared for
dinner n in trade, neither of which
could be insured.

evils resulting from he activity OF
office holders in politics by his order
of June 8, 1907, amending h civil
service rules by forbidding employees
in the competitive service from taking
part in political management or in
political campaigns. This order was
enforced in the last campaign.
The official roll of delegates to the
Republican National Convention at
Chicago was compared with the latest
government Blue Book. 1t was oun
that of the delegates to the Chicago
convention federal Office holders con-
stituted one in ten and of the delega-
tons from the Southern states nearly
one in three, and of some Southern
states, more than half.
7 These office holders were political,
that is, outside of the jurisdiction of
! the civil service act, and in most cases
their appointment was subject to con-
frmation by the United States Senate
The office holders in the South
practically control the republican par
ty organization in their respective
states n frequently resort TO unfair
means in order to retain their power.
Their support is g. tremendous poll
teal asset to any candidate for NOM
nation. AS the Southern democratic
states have as many votes in the re-
publican national convention as the re
publican states of equal population,
under ordinary circumstances the Sou
thern delegates would control the bal.
ance of power in the national conven.
ton.
These organizations controlled by OF
flee holders are mainly interested in
the distribution of the patronage and
the naming of delegates to conven
lions. 1t is not to the interest of these
: office holding cliques to elect repub
lican congressman or to bring about
party growth andparty success, which
would mean curtaikment OF loss of the
control of the patronage.
The conditions in regard to the &C
tivity of unclassified federal Office hold
ers in politics are at their worst in
the South, but throughout the coun
try, in accordance with established
custom, they are expected to be ac
tive in primaries and conventions il
the interest of those to whom they
owe their appointment and by whose
favor they are continued in Office
This leads to neglect of official duty
and absenteeism on a large scale, ant
the government is now paying large
sums in salaries to officials whose
main interest and activity is devoted
to politics, while their offices are lef
in the control of subordinates.

PRINCESS BONNIE"
PI EASED BIG CROWD.

The mammonth auditorium of Ar
mory Hall vas filled last night when
h opening production of Princess
Bonnie" was presented iby a company
of Roswell young people under the di-
rection OF A. A. White. The play was
well received. almost everyone being
pleased with the production, and he
general verdict is that as an anna
eur show, it was one of the best ev-
er seen in Roswell. The play will be
reproduced at She Armory Thursday
night. The affair is being presented
under the auspices of the Military In
stitute.
The play of Princess Bonnie is an
American-Spanish comic opera, in
which a Spanish princess, rescued in
childhood at an American .wrecking
station and reared in an American vii
1age by an "oid salt" IS claimed by
her titled uncle from Spain, who wish
es to Tar her to IN Italian count.
Meanwhile Princess Bonnie has found
an American sweetheart and he Is
a boy that wins out in the end. Side
issues and counter plots make the
story Interesting, but easy to follow as
carried out In song and rhyme on the
stage.
The principals in the cast last night
were generally good, and the chorus
vas exceptionally hne. Miss Maud
Keller, as Princess Bonnie" is a
prime donna we'll worth going to hear
Every n was pleased with her sing
ing last night. Col. Barlow In the role
Of the "old salt" was one of the best
characters and his voice was enjoyed
by the lovers OF song. Ted Houghton,
as Roy the American lover, sang
we'll and was a n American Of the type
that drew the plaudits OF the audience
e. C. Rogers took the part OF admir-
al Pomposa" and acted and sahg ex-
~ceptionally good. His voice was one
Of the treats of the evening. T. A.
StancHf, IT., as count, had the unpop-
ular role as william, but his interpre-
tation of his part was we'll given and
much enjoyed. Mr.. Dow a. SALIVA
dore." negro attendant to Admiral
Pomposa," was popular at all times
and made the hit Of the evening with
his buck and wing dancing. Mrs. Ev-
ans played as "Kittie Clover" coquet
and belle of the village, and hers was
one Of the most pleasing parts OF the
performance. Her lover, "Shrimps,"
was played by Fritz Muller and the
general vote is that his was the best
part of the play. He had the line
n gave them to the satisfaction of
everyone. Miss Morrow played Is
"Aunty Grabb' and not only did she
play well, but her voi0e was one OF
the best in the cast. Mrs. Nook ap-
peared as Dona Pomposa and her
striking beauty, along with her sweet
voice, made her popular with the au-
dience. Mr.. Overholser. as "Lieuten-
ant Fusee." and Captain McC1ung as
Captain Surf" had little opportunity
to distinguish themselves, but played
their parts well.
The chorus was made up OF a bevy
of Roswelrs most beautiful young wo-
men, and cadets from the Institute,
and they certainly were at their best
on this location. They were wen
drilled and the chorus singing was en-
joyed by everyone.
Miss Margaret Hinsen, as accom-
PIANIST, had an important part in the
show and her work was Of the
factors leading up to the great sue
cess that was declared to be the re-
suH OF the evening.

A RURAL TRAGEDY.

The above film is certainly peach
showing as it does the life led by the
folks down east. The story is of coun-
try life in it's many odd and interest
ing features to say nothing of a pow
erful love story. 1t is an undisputed
existing between two brothers. In
this case they are both in love with the
same lass, she being the causes bel
lum" between them. Their blond sis
ter more than once comes between the
angry boys but on one occasion, even
she had no influence over them. A
war of words lead to blows-in the
struggle a lamp is upset and the house
takes fire From this point on the
deeds of heroism performed are suo-
lime. At the sacrifice of his own life
one brother saves that of the other
and his sister. One particular feature
of this film which few in Hawaii have
seen is a bona fide bucket brigade
There being no fire apparatus in the
village, all the neighbors turn out with
pals pans, ETC., line from near by
pond TO the burning house is formed
and water passed along from one to an
other. The burning house with its
panic stricken inmates, the rescue by
and subsequent death of the hero ara
thrown on the screen with vividness
seldom seen in moving picture. The
burning of the old farm house is very
realistic, showing as it does both in
terror and exterior views.
In direct contrast to this is a quiet
peaceful orchard scene in which an
old apple tree serves as a letter box
for Cupid; it is here that the one broth
er discovers the fact that the girl in
the case loves the 'other fellow" The
moral pointed out in this film is we'll
worthy of emulation.

VISITED THE
"LEPER" ISLAND

Brother Francis Marx, professor
music at st. Louis College, Honolu-
lu, and a resident of the Hawaiian
Islands since 1888, has just written
the following interesting letter to
his brother, Mr.. M. ]. Marx, of Monk
ton, Md;
Honolulu, II. l., Aug. 81.
81 just returned from the Island
of my vacation among the lepers. l
saw gruesome sights and plenty OF
them, bput they did not appal me
half as much as l thought they
would. Leprosy is a frightful dis
ease and may truly be called living
death However, those that have it
and are on Molokai are well cared
for. In the first place, they do not
suffer much, and, in the second
place, they nave no cares or
worries. They are the only real in
dependent people l know of. The
Government gives them reasonable
rations every week, clothes when
they need them, decent houses to
essary. ana work, for which they are
paid, if they wish it. OF course, the
disease itself and the knowledge
that they are cut off from the rest of
the world forever is a terrible thing,
but the native, who is a happy-go-
lucky sort of fellow is also quickly
reconciled when he finds that he is
forever rid of those three burglars
food, clothes and shelter
"The leper does not suffer much,
for the parts of the body affected are
dead; hence there is no pain. Most
of them are minus three or four fin
gers and toes; some of them have
none left. Some become blind, 9th
ers become helpless cripples. In spite
Of all this appalling misery you very
seldom come across one who is real

mortals, and if you did not see their
distorted features you wouldn't take
them for lepers.
"One day Brother Henry and 1
were invited to the Bishop Home, an
institution conducted by the Sisters
of st. Francis for leper girls. We
enjoyed an entertainment by lepers.
The leper girls sang in English and
Hawaiian and gave a flag drill. 1
cheered heartily, although felt more
like plying them.

they have a snug little home which
