New York, April 5.-The report of
the special committee appointed by
the National Civil Service Reform
League to investigate the political ac-
tivity on the part of officeholders
was made public yesterday. The con-
! clusions of the cimmittee, briefly
stated, are that charges made by GER
tain newspapers are sustained to a
great extent. A notable exception is
reported i'm the allegations that Mr..
Roosevelt coerced certain federal Of
flee holders into the support of Mr..
Taft for the republican nomination.
The committee finds that evidence to
sustain the charges are wholly lack

edy is to be found. the committee
believes, in extending the classified

finition of the executive order gov

sified service.
Hearing Given Today.
The senate committee on census |
will give hearing today on the house |
census bill. President Black of the |
civil service commission will contend |
that the employees under the measure |
should be chosen wholly by civil SER |
vice examination.
This position will be combatted by |
Director North of the census bureau
on the ground that there are certain
classes of employees who must be Sc
lected by their proved adaptability
for the work.
The census bill as passed by the
house eliminates certain of the orig
nal features which caused Mr.. Roos-
evelt to veto the old bill and it is not
believed that it will be opposed on the
floor.

Amusing, Experience.

In connection with the efforts t o

hand had a rather amusing expert
ence. They found it impossible. on
account of the great number of visi-
tors who had come to the city or had
engaged rooms in advance, to pro-
cure apartments at the highest class
hotels for Mr.. Roosevelt, as they did
not announce the name of the intend
ed guest. At each of these houses
there were informed tha all apart
ments were taken and as a conse-
quence rooms finally were engaged
at the Hotel Londres which is a hos
telry of quite ordinary pretensions.
Later, however, a commodious apart
ment was engaged at the Excelsior
hotel, which was considered more at
tractive.
