  CIVIL SERVICE LAW IT IS DENOUNCED BY SENATOR
 BAILEY. He Declares it to Be Hunabug and . Pretense-Tail<s of Taft
 and His Veto Power,

Washington, April 10.--Asserting that he had heard 1t reported that President Taft would veto the pending census bill if it did not provide for placing census employees under the Civil Ser speech on the bill today declared that if the President had thus early in his administration undertaken to CO., cree Congress he would find that the experience of the last seven years was holiday compared with what the next four years would be-"
 Senator Lodge made spirited reply to the Texas Senator.
 Among other things. MT. Bailey said :
 T am one of the men who sincerely hope that the President of the United States will distinguish himself in his great office. I hope his administration will be an unmixed blessing to all the people, but l do not hesitate to say that no man ever had a less desirable prep aration for it than the present occu- pant of that high office. He went from the bench. where the tendency is to- ward a certain kind of tyranny. There Is scarcely a Federal Judge in the United States of twenty years service who has not become arbitrary, irrita- ble. and sometimes tyrannical. I do not mean that this experience would l corrupt him in the sense of making him venal, but it tends to corrupt him in the sense that 1t teaches him to op- pose his will against obstacles" These remarks followed a general denunciatIon by Senator Bailey of the civil service law, which. he declared. he had opposed for twenty years "as humbug and a pretense." He stated that former President Roosevelt had not hesitated to appoint men to pub lie office within the classified system upon his own judgment and without examination, which, he said, was not justified by any law. Instead of ap- pointments being made by political bosses, they are now, he said. made by departmental bosses. If there was to be a boss he preferred a political boss.
 Mir. Bailey said he had been told that heads of bureaus and petty chiefs had threatened to discharge employees of the Government if a Senator should 20 to a department to see that some wrong was righted. He added that he had heard that a certain member of a Legislature had introduced @ measure framed in laudatory language in rela- tion to the former President, and that later he had this resolution taken to Mir. Roosevelt with request that he be given a place and that he was ap- pointed without examination to a po- sition paying $7 a day.
 ''If any Senator doubts that story. said Mir. Bailey, '1et him ask Senator Scott of West Virginia whether 1t is true.
 senator Lodge in reply said the civil service was incomparatively superior to the spells system.

LECTURE BY ATKINS
SELMA MAYER WARNS yAGRANT
 YOUNG MEN.
Those Who Loaf About Streets and Do
 Not Work wnl Surely Come To c Had End-

Selma, April 10.-(Special.)--A lec- ture was delivered to four young men this morning by Mayor Atkins before the adjournment of police court.
 It caused one of the young men to leave police court in tears and 1t will of bad company. The lecture was de- livered at the conclusion of the case which was heard against Tom Rosser,l young man about 20 years of age.
 Rosser was arrested by the police department some days ago on suspf- cion of being implicated in the attempt to cut the glass in the show window of the store of the Rowel1-Hudso Shoe Company on Broad street. In this window at the time there was box containing s35 in silver and an at- tempt was made to cut out this win dow and get the box containing the money. Besides Rosser there were ar rested Frank Baton, William Tender son and Henry Horne. The latter two were released by the police as not be- ing implicated.
 The cases against Rosser and Bat ton were tried this morning. The charge against young Baton was proven and he was fined S100 or 190 days on the streets. The evidence in- troduced showed that Rosser had no knowledge or anything to do with the l attempted robbery and the suit against | him was dismissed.
 In dismissing the case against Ros- ser, Mayor Atkin stated that he was placed in an awkward position. If he decided to fine him that the stigma would follow the young man through many years of his life: that he came of an honored and respected family. that he had always borne an excellent character and that he did not believe him guilty and would dismiss the suit 1 against him.
 l In his lecture Mayor Atkins referred to the attempt few days ago in At lanta of the young man Daniel W. Johnson, Jr., to blackmail Asa G. Cand- Ter. He said many young men had been ruined by loafing around until 3 o'clock in the morning and then "go- ing down the line" as they expressed It. He stated that intimation had coms to him that two of the young men who had been arrested in the case were running or engaged in a gambling room but that he could not secure sufficient evidence to warrant their ar- rest.
 With this assertion Mayor Atkins l instructed Chief of Police Walters to swear out warrants against Henry Horne and William Henderson for va graney. The warrants were made out at once and served upon these young men before they left the court room They will probably be tried on the va grancy charge Monday morning.
 It is believed that the action of Mayor Atkins this morning in having Chief Walters swear out warrants against Henderson and Horne for vagrancv, will be followed by the swearing out of similar warrants against number of other young men who loaf around the city and have no visible means of | support.
