ASHHURST BOOKS
ARE FOUND TO Be
IN PERFECT ORDER
Audit of Postmaster's Accounts
Lays Rumor as to Motive
for Suicide.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11-Post-
doned the search for Richard L. Ash
hurst, the postmaster. who has been
missing since the night OF January 80.
1t was learned yesterday that an
audit had been made of all the out
standing accounts. which were ex-
h~austively tabulated. as well as the
private money and accounts coming
under the direct supervision of Mr..
Ashhurst, and the complete and intri-
cate financial system being thoroughly
Investigated. The whole accounts tall
lied to the penny with the records In
Washington.
The books of the office as we'll as all
business were correct and In admirable
condition. The audit has beer for
warded to Washington. the government
40. K" being expected in the imme-
date future, which is merely a matter
Of form.
RumOrs Set at Rest.
This audi positively sets at rest the
repeated rumors that departmental diff
ferences or incorrect financial accounts
might have furnished a motive sor sui
eide, a rumor which was repeatedly de-
MED by officials at the postoffice.
James T. Cortelyou, chief Inspector,
who has had charge OF the case, and
who detailed secret service men to
make an investigation, said yesterday
that all the accounts coming under the
supervision of Mr.. Ashhurst and all
papers and departmental paraphernalia
had been turned over TO the temporary
postmaster, r. B. Smith.
Leading officials in the postoffice are
disinclined to discuss the matter OF the
disappearance, the sentiment being re-
fiected In the statement of one of the
departmental heads: # f
81 have practically dropped the mat
ter from my mind" a
Hope Mystery VIII He Cleared.
While the majority of the men are OF
the belief that Mr.. Ashhurst met his
death in the Atlantic Ocean, II Is mani
fest that they would not be surprised to
learn of his still being alive. The whole
matter is seldom discussed. even be-
tween the oficials, and they only hope
the mystery will be cleared in the near
future, and that the body viii be re-
covered. IL ff 1879
The family of Mr.. Ashhurst still
maintain absolute privacy, and refuse
to give a statement regarding the
rumors that he MAJ still be alive. Mrs.
Ashhurst, 1t Is understood, has come to
the belief that her husband is dead.
but refuses to be interviewed OF make
a statement. She remains at her home
32t South Eleventh street, seeing only
members of the immediate family. Amy
inquisitors are referred to the police de-
partment. #

BUILDING
NEEDED FOR CIVIL
SERVICE EXAMS.
Number Of Applicants for AS
sistant Sealer of Weights
Makes Change Necessary.

The number of applicants for the po-
sition of assistant to the city sealer OF
weights n measures has grown to
such an extent that the Civil Service
Commission has arranged to conduct
the examination which will be held
nex Thursday in Turn Hall, in Will
lam street, instead of the City Hall,
where previous examinations have been
conducted. 1858
At the last civil service examination
held in this city, for inspector in the
building department, 106 applicants APP
peared. Commissioner James r.. Null
kin, who with Gardner r. Colby con-
Quoted the examination, found 1t neces-
sary to divide the class and examine
half in the Board of Works rooms and
the remainder in the City Hall annex.
Result Not TabuIated.
The result of that examination has
not yet beer tabulated. The commits
sion considers 1t unwise to have a di-
vided class. Inasmuch as $50 applica-
tons for the mex examination had
been received up TO Monday of this
week., the commission concluded that
it would be necessary to secure a hall
where all the applicants might be ex-
amined at one time.
1t is probable that all the members
of the board, instead of n member
only, will be present at the next exam
ination. The civil service law provides
that all examinations shall be conduct
ed by the foul commissioners, who re-
ceive 50, 900 annually for their services.
OF late only onerof the four commits
sioners has considered 1t necessary to
be present at each examination.
AT the last examination held here,
with Colonel Mulliltin, of this city,
being the only commissions present,
and the examination concluded In two
classes in separate buildings, the IN
uuiry was conducted IN part In the
absence of any member OF the board.
The other members of the commission
are James Kerney, of the
Times; Charles H. Bateman, of the
Unionist-Gazette, of Somerville, and
Willis Fletcher Johnson, of the New
York Tribune.
The latter. as president Of tho COM
mission, receives $500 annually In add
ton to the commissioners salary OF
81, 900. Because Of their exacting duties
as men. the three last
named commissioners are not In a posi-
ton to devote as much time to the
office as Colonel Mullikin, of this city.
who was q retired business man when
appointed.
Board Is Republican.
The four commissioners are Repub-
licans, and the terms of three will ex-
pire prior to the end Of Governor Will
sons term of office. That Of Commits
sioner Kerney expires this "a on
May s, 1911. Being a member of the
governors editorial chorus, he will
probably be reappointed, although that
will continue the board for another
yea without Democratic representa-
ton. Next year the term Of Commits
sioner johnson expires, and one year
later that of Commissioner Mullikin.
The term of Commissioner Bateman
does not expire until May 8, 1914, and
his successor will be named by an
other governor.
