Chief Clerk Weed Prepared
to Begin Wedding Out
Process.
EFFICIENCY BLANKS
FOR EACH EMPLOYE
Reports of Division Chiefs TO Be
Basis for Disposition of
I Individuals.

Within a few days the Postofhce De-
partment is TO put in motion wedding
out process Of inefficient and useless
clerks such as was carried on for sew
eral months last summer by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
For some time Postmaster General
Hitchcock is said TO have realized that
there was not the greatest amount OF
efficiency being shown by many Of the
clerks in his department, and since the
transfer Of Theodore L. Weed from the
position of chief clerk of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor 10 the
corresponding place In Mr. Hitchcock s
department the latter has decided to
get out his official AK and use it right
literally.
Ready for Process.
1t was announced in the department
today that Chief Clerk Weed is prepared
20 set about separating the good clerks
from the bad and Indifferent ones Ac-
cording TO those who are in position
10 know, the indications are that more
clerks IN the Postofhce Department will
be affected by the eliminating process
rhan was the case in the Depart
Ynent Of Commerce and Labor. Records
of the latter show that 10 per cent of
the entire force was affected. either by
dismissal, G7mOtiOn or transfer.
Mr.. weed has had printed a blank
form TO serve as an efficiency report.
which is almost identical with the one
used by the aX-swingerS under Secre-
tary Mage.
A copy Of this blank will be furnished
The chiefs OF divisions 20 MI out in the
case OF each clerk. In IL the division
chief viii report what he thinks of his
Clerlls-Officially personally and other
wise-and IL will then remain for Mr..
Weed 10 decide from these reports, the
disposition Of each clerk.
The eliminating process is expected 10
be carried on throughout the summer.
II IS not :he intention of Mr.. Weed to
COnfine his efforts 20 the headquarters IL
Washington. He viii also act on reports
from the various first and second class
pOStonices throughout the country.

 Magistrate J. A. Frazier yesterday set the preliminary hearing of Doc Ragland, the negro who is charged with accessory to murder before the fact and whose alleged confession in Texas some weeks ago resulted in the arrest of Hhridge at his home at Fall Back, Miss. Ragland's attorney is Judge E. J. Kerwin and he stated yesterday that he would most likely be ready fcr trial on next Wednes day. District Attorney Nixon has, had a subpoena issued for Ethridge as a witness in the Ragland case. Et"- ridgefs testimony at that time will ho watched with interest, as he was not placed on the stand to testify in his own behalf at his own hearing.
 1t is understood that Senator Ton ey will present a number of strong affidavits before Judge Grace this morning to convince the court, if pos sible, of the innocence of his client One of these affidavits it is sad, is to be that of Dr. T. l.. Savin, who since Ethridge's hearing. has posi- lively identified him as the man whom he treated for eye trouble on July ,, f, 3. 6, 2. and g, the days immed 'atey preceding and the day following the tragedy.

 Upon the arrival of every train yes terday the waiting rooms and platform of the station was crowded until It was almost impossible to turn. To make the crowd seem much largsr nearly all of the trains arrived and departed late, which kept a large crowd waiting all during the day. The branch trains including tn Altheimer branch between this city and Little Rock, over the Cotton Belt, and the Pine Bluff and Arkan- sas River train, between this city aLG Reydel, brought throngs of people to the city yesterday from the country districts. The trains departed witi equally as many people. Both trains have additions of several cars for the holiday traffic.
