United States VIII Not Inter
fere IN Nicaragua.
IFrom - TrIhnne Rnrean 1


Washington. Nov. t6.-To those who have
followed the various phases OF the existing
revolution in Nicaragua il would not be
surprising Of a strong effort were made IN
the near future by American bankers TO
have the United States intervene and ter
inmate hostilities. II Is known that there
are several important and unadiusted finan-
cal difficulties between certain European
banking concerns and the Central American
republic and it is expected that the Aneri-
can representatives Of these concerns will
seek 10 impress on the state Department
the necessity for Intervention on the plea
that the Monroe Doctrine prevents the pow
ers interested from making forceful repre-
sentations to President ZeIaya.
Last summer President Zelaya floated a
loan with London and PARIS bankers which
was to be secured by annuities derived
from the spirit and tobacco r1onOpolies,
which are controlled by the Nicaraguan
government. The annual customs taxes
were also to secure a portion OF the loan
The revolution. however, has rendered these
securities practically worthless. for the rea-
son that President Zelaya has lost control
o, the two monopolies and is unable % col
lAct customs duties from the eastern ports
OF the republic
II Is probable that an attempt will be
made by the London and Paris bankers to
have their governments make representa-
tions to the State Department asking this
country 10 adjust the matter. The present
attitude Of the State Department is one OF
neutrality. and it is doubtful il any action
will be taken by this country in the interest
of foreign bankers. II repeatedly has been
made clear by State Department officials
that unless American subjects and property
are in jeopardy this country will let Mica
ragua settle her own difficulties.
Salvador Castillo representative OF the
Nicaraguan revolutionists here. made the
following statement tonight:
General Estrada Provisional President Of
NicaraSu by decree OF November n has
blockaded the port of San Juan del Norte,
and the blockade is supported by three war
vessels, the Ometepe, the Blanca and the
PiOnne. He has captured the Dictator.

issued tonight by Chairman Black and
Messrs. McIlhenny and washburn. OF
the Civil Service Commission. in answer
IN charges TO the effect that appoint
nicnts and removals in the New York
Custom House were at the orders or the
trust
The statement of the commissioners is
largely argumentatlve. designed 10 show
the care taken in the preparation and
rating Of examination papers. how by
reason OF the methods i'm vogue II Is
practically impossible for the commits
sion's examiners in washington TO show
favoritism in rating. the authority given

for such course.
Answering in detail the charges. the
commission says they have been of the
most general character. and no person
has been mentioned in connection with
them who is Of the commissions force
The information regarding the twenty
two assistant weighers came from the
New York Custom House. Two of the
assistant weighers were appointed with
out certification by the commission. the
remaining twenty having been appointed
by certification from 1855 TO 1907. There
are now employed at New York 12s as
sistant weighers.
The examinations by which these as
sistant weighers have been chosen dur
ing fifteen years. says the commission.
have all been prepared and rated at
Washington, The examinations them
selves are conducted by the local boards
at New York or elsewhere.
Touching the right of removal by ap-
pointing officers. the Civil Service rules
limit the commission in its right of in
quiry in such cases to those in which the
allegation is made, with some show of
support, that the removal was for DO
litical or religious reasons.
The statement of the commission closes
as follows:
what the commission desires to en-
phaslze 10 the press is that il has used
not only all of the precautions possible
IN the selection of its eligibles, but il
has left in the departments unimpaired
the power OF sitting such appointments,
when once made. to the bottom. and ex-
erclsing the power of removal at any
time that the interests of the public
service require. IL interposes no oh
lection 10 removal for cause. and its

into moral fitness, has supplemented
them 10 the fullest extent that ordinary
human vigilance can exercise.

MAY POSTPONE TEST


Washington. April 2S--Frequent ut
terances by President Taft expfessing
the hope that Congress will hasten the
passage of the tariff bill in order that
business may be restored to its nor
NAL condition. at the earliest possible
day. may postpone the real test of
strength over the income tax PROPOSE
ton.
The Senate IL pretty evenly divided
over the outcome OF an income tax
amendment. Some Senator'S believe 1t
impracticable to tax incomes of less
than 5000. while others believe It
will be necessary to 50 as low az s2.-
600. Others argue that the liking OF q
minimum will result In unfair discrim-
nation. 81.
Many members OF Congress believe
lnFt{h president Taft that the amends
ment should not be adopted unless Il
can be shown that Il is needed to pro-
duce revenues. Members of the Finance
Committee declare that the Payne bill.
amended by the Senate committee. will
Yield suf7icjent revenues for the oper-
ating expenses Of the government.
Few supporters Of the income tax
proposition are willing to delay the
adjournment of Congress In the face OF
the attitude assumed by the President
and the protests that are pouring In
upon Congress from commercial CEN
ters against q prolonged discussion for
the tariff question. 1t has been sux-
eested that the various income tax
amendments be reduced to y separate
bill to be considered after the tarin
bill has been enacted
This would not permit action at
the present session but II has been
suggested that as the bill would live
through the entire Congress. u CONF
mittee could be named to gather data
concerning the possibilities OF such q
measure from a revenue point OF view
and submit this information at the
next session.
