SCORES. CIVIL WAR LIST
Political Aspect Has Replaced Pa.
triotism, Declares Secretary Of
the Treasury.

PHILADELPHIA, April S.-The civil
war pension list was attacked by Frank
lin MacVeagh. Secretary of the Treas
ury, in an address at the opening session
OF the fifteenth annual meeting of the
American Academy of Political and So
cial Science here yesterday when he
advocated civil service pension for gov
eminent employees. We have a perfectly
enormous civil war pension list, which is
not credit to us. 1t never had sci
entific or a just basis. although a worthy
motive gave 1t origin.
1t has lost its patriotic aspects and has
become a, political list. costing the gov
eminent about $3.50, OO0, 900 per year. said
Secretary MacVeagh in his opening re-
marks as presiding officer at the after
noon session, when the subject of indus
trial insurance and retiring allowances
was discussed by experts from all Sec
tons Of the country.
Favors Civil Pensions.
Following his remarks on the civil war
pension list. Mr.. MacVeagh said: Out
side of that we have pensions or a re-
firing list only for army and navy Of
ficers. the Supreme Court and the public
health service.
1.-THE whole civil list is left without any
protection or consideration. 1t Is most
important that a pension list be estab-
lished for the civil employees. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary for the sake of the gov
eminent itself We hear lot about econ
omy and efficiency in the government
service. / have tried to promote them
myself. but am hampered in my efforts to
promote economy through efficiency be-
cause of this very lack of a retiring list.
I'VE cannot throw these old men and
women out into the streets. You would
not have us do it any more than We will
do it. Therefore we keep them even
after their efficiency has deteriorated. So
you can see why we are losing money
by paying salaries for inefficiency in place
of having efficient employees and a retir-
ing list for those whose efficiency has
departed

Public Opinion Lacking.

Every argument in favor Of industrial
insurance and pensions in commerce and
industry has full force and effect in the
government. The trouble lies not with
Congress Congress is much more
amenable body than 1t gets credit for
being. The real trouble is that there is
no public spirit on the question.
THE civil employees themselves hamper
the movement because they are divided on

|tributing system. OF course, the only sys-
tenn that ever will be is the contributing
system, but you can't get them to agree

SPAETE'S BODY
IS UNCLAIMED
Physicians Sure That Sudden Death
of Arrested Promoter Is
Due TO Poison.

Unclaimed, the body OF Oscar f.
Spaete, promoter of gigantic enter
prises. lies In the Wayne county
morgue.
In moment of desperation, Spaete
swallowed poison In the cell block In
the Central police station. Wednesday
afternoon. He walked up the stairs
with Charles Carmody. the purpose
being to photograph him. His limbs
became rigid and he frothed at the
mouth. He was beyond aid.
Spaete was hurried TO st. Mary's
hospital, where he died. Thus far
no person has put in an appearance to
claim his body. No word has been
received from Boston, where he had
such high connections. His wife has
sent no word.
Coroner Burgess and the county
physicians are undecided as TO what
kind OF poison Spaete used to end his
life. The theory has been advanced
that he was a victim OF heart disease,
from which he suffered. The excite
ment following his arrest and subse-
auently revelations concerning his
operations did produce terrible
mental strain, but the physicians say
they place little credence In the heart
disease theory. The general belief
is that he swallowed potent, non
irritant drug, traces of which are
hard to find. The stomach has been
sent to County Chemist Clark for
analysis.
Chief OF Detectives Mcdonnell said
Thursday that the police began investi-
eating Spaete's business methods as
long ago as last Friday. He was not
arrested, however. until Tuesday.
when Eva Tobey, the woman In the
case rushed over 10 the Y w. c. A,
and laid bare some OF Spaete's get

His was a meteoric career, with a
very doleful finish. Reduced TO such
circumstances that he was forced TO
even rifle the woman's pocketbook OF
