Measure Endorsed by Hughes

WAOSwORTH TAKES FL 10
Denounces Bill as an Attempt to
Create Close Voting
Corporation

Albany, May 1.-THE Human
Green direct nominations bill, en-
bodying the recommendations Of Gov
ernor Hughes, was defeated in the
Assembly tonight after a fierce all
day struggle by vote of 67 to II,
while the Meade-Phillips "organiza-
ton primary measure was passed by
a vote OF 81 to 81 Incidentally, the
Grady-Frisbee Democratic League d.
rect primary bill was caught some
where between the upper and lower
Republican millstones and swiftly
ground to atoms by party vote of 46
to SS.
Forty-six Republicans voted for and
40 against the Hinman-Green bill.
Nineteen Democrats. including for
mer Lieutenant Governor Chanler,
voted I'm the affirmative.
It was a day full OF exciting Incl
dent. Speaker Wadsworth looking a
trihe drawn from a protracted night
conference over the measure, was on
the scene early and his private room
was the mecca into which poured a
steady stream of pilgrims who held
fast to the organization faith.
Among them was noticed William
Barnes, Jr., the Albany leader, at a
time when Assemblyman Green was
holding him up on the floor as the
typical enemy of the governors poll
cies. lie thinks that he and those
OF his type are better qualified to pick

PRESIDENT
Civil Service RefOrmers Report
on Custom Frauds
APPOINTMENTS CRITICISED
Committee Says "Party Machinery is
Run Almost Entirely BY Office
Holders"

New York, May l2.-Nether Pres
ident Taft nor former President
Roosevelt escapes criticism in the re-
port of the executive committee OF
the Civil Service Reform association
lade public yesterday at the annual
meeting of the association.
The committee Is of the opinion
that responsibility for the customs
frauds here rests upon the executive
officers at the head of the customs
department, who, under Roosevelt, il
charges, were products of the spoils
system. Instances cited are the ap-
pointments of Surveyor Clarkson
(now resigned) and Deputy Survey
ors Vail and Bishop. both OF whom,
It is said, were appointed by Gen.
Clarkson through waiver by Presl-
dent Roosevelt of civil service rules,
and both OF whom have since been
dismissed by Collector Loeb. Where
the spoils system in the selection OF
officers thus dominates the service"
says the report, the failure OF sub
ordlnates to remain honest and effic.
lent cannot be fairly charged to the
merit SYSTEM
Taft appointments OF which the as
ISOLATION complains are those of Ed
mund Vorrhies as postmaster at
Brooklyn, Or. Nathan A. Warren az
postmaster at Yonkers, n. Y, and
William j. Maxwell as collector OF in
ternal revenue
The committee finds that the aver
age citizen IN trying 10 engage in par
ty affairs is met by the fact that the
party machinery is run almost entire
ly by Office holders" and It believes
that the growing demand of the peo-
pie to be represented in party man
agement cannot be met until Office
holders are prohibited by law from
all share In party activity.
Mayor Gaynor is commended for
his non-pariisan attitude. From the
outset says the report, "he has
shown determination to abolish po-
litical infuecle m appointments "a

Side by Side as Troops Pass
in Review

Berlin, May ia sham fight, in
which 10000 German soldiers OF all
arms took part, occupied the. atten'
ton of Theodore Roosevelt and EN-
peror William for several hours yes
terday morning After the Dattle'
which took place on the field at Doe
hertz. the whole body of troops pa
raded before the ex-president and en-
peror who were standing side by side
some twenty PAGES in front OF the
staff. They saluted the colors OF the
various commands, the emperor
touching his helmet and Mr.. Roose-
welt lifting his sombrero.
Speaking partly in English and
partly in German, the emperor, turn-
ing to Mr.. Roosevelt, said: you are
the first civilian who has reviewed
our soldiers and then to the German
officers: I'VE are honored in having
here the distinguished colonel OF the
Rough Riders"
The former President was hve
hours in the saddle, and spent much
time talking with the emperor. They
drew apart from the others and a.
times were exceedingly vehement III
their gestures. Nj Roosevelt wore
dingy khaki uniform, while the en-
peror and his generals, in uniforms
of blue, with gold helmets made q
striking contrast.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that he fell
quite able to deliver his lecture be
fore the university. DIR, Fraenkei
who has been treating the ex-Presi
dents throat, said his voice is husk,
and would seem to be unequal to the
task, but the doctor was confident
that he could clear 1t up BY on hours

mers who feel the necessity OF clear
ing up their land by its use have felt
that IL was too dangerous to be used

is TO show how to handle q effectively

blown up. rocks In the immediate
