DEMOCRATS PREPARING TO MAKE
SERIOUS INRcAcs IN EsTAR.
LlsHED SYSTEM.
CuMMlNs SEES PARTY
AIMED IN ONE DIRECTION
Says It is Purpose of Democrats to
Make Room For Ambitious and
Hungry Office seekers-sprit Of
Law Violated BY Burleson's Recent
Order Calling For Examinations.
Especial Correspondence

Washington. May 30.-Serious in
roaGs are likely to be made by the
democrats on the civil service system
in the next four years if they continue
their present activity with respect TO
1t. is the belief expressed by Senator
Cummins, of Iowa. former chairman of
the senate civil service committee.
Senator Cumnins says the proposal
for an Investigation into the admins
tration of the civil Service system in
the past and the Overman resolution
to suspend the placing Of fourth class
postma sters under civil service and
take deputy internal revenue collect
ors and deputy narshais out from un-
der the civil service. as we'll as the
changes in personnel of the civil SER
vice. al are aiming in one general di-
rection-
Letting Down the Bars.
1T is the purpose TO increase the
number OF places open to democrats
and fill them with ambitious and active
members of that party" said Senator
Cunmins.
Senator Cummns is in sympathy
W
laws should be made more stringent.
Re would have rigid civil service laws
both as TO admission into the service
and promotion by merit. But he wants
no undermining Of the service. With
reference to the Overman resolution to
suspend the order placing fourth-class
postmasters under the civil service,
Senator Cummins SAYS it may pass.
He predicted ii would get some sup
port on the republican side and said
in thai event II would pass. He does
not defend the course of Taft in COW
ering the fourth class postmasters into
the civil service right at the end Of his
abstraction.
Spirit Of Law Violated.
"Nowever. other presidents have
covered large numbers of persons into
the classified service" said Senator
Cumu,ins The spirit of the civil SER
vice Is to leave in the government en-
play those who have places at the time
that particular branch Of the service
is put under the operation of the civil
service laws. The democrats propose
20 get around the order as to fourth
class postmasters by forcing incum-
bents TO take examinations. This is not
in keeping with the spirit of the civil
service II that is done, it will be with
the idea OF filling the offices with dem
ocrats and turning republicans out
What should be done is to leave the
order stand and weed out the ineffic-
lent as cases of inefficiency are re-
,ealed -"

LOBBY ON TARIFF TO BE PRoBED
Senate Adopts Cur,rnins Resolution.
With Some Changes.

Washington, May 30.-The senate
late yesterday voted unanimously to
direct an investigation into the charge
made by the president that a lobby Is
in Washington seeking to influence
sentiment on the tariff bill.
The resolution, introduced by Sena-
tor Cumulins Of Iowa, was passed aft
or more than four hours of hot de-
bate. but after it had been amended Ii
such a way that Senator Root ana
others declared it was ''emasculated.
The resolution has given the demo-
cratic leaders a great deal Of trouble.
They would gladly have avoided the
investigation. not because they feared
the disclosures. bat because they real
ize it is likely to take UP much time OF
the senate that might well be devoted
to expediting the tariff bill.
But President Wilson showed no
disposition to stand out against the
investigation. On the contrary, ne sent
word to his party leaders that ne
would welcome the investigation AMI
stood ready to place at their disposal
information TO back UP his charges.
The. president ed himself willing
to supply names as we'll as informa-
ton When these names are disclosed.
it is likely number of democrats will
be in the list some of Them form er
politicians.
Early this morning Senator Simmons,
cha rnan of the finance committee, lei
it be known the democrats would ad-
vocate the INVESTIGATION. but would in
sisJ on amendn ents to the. resolution
These an2erdments We're made before
the resolution was put on IT'S final pas
sage. Senator Kern. leader of the
minority proposed the principal
amendment, which, after being modi-
fed by Senator Reed Of Missouri and
Senator Lippitt OF Rhode Island. was
finally adopted by a, vote of IS to %.
the democrats voting solidly for it and
the republicans voting against it. The
amended resolution was then passed
without division by unanimous vote.

Chicago. May 3o.-Hog quotations
were marked UP and 10 cents today
compared TO Thursday. Smallness Of
receipts was the main factor in the
advance.
More hogs sold Thursday at $3.50
than any other price, and good many
sold at $3.50, such as sold Wednesday
at $3.50.
The price range continues narrow,
with comparatively few carload lots
below $3.50 and only odd lots OF big
heavy packers below 1925.
There arrived at eleven markets d
total Of $1,000. being 5000 less than
previous Thursday and 5000 more than
q year ago.
Cattle.
There was little doing in the cattle
pens. receipts being less than 1900.
Such deals as were MADE were quoted
at steady prices.

the supply standing 1920 in four days.
against 3S.6S7 week ago and 42,2oo q
year ago, we'll indicates THAI the coun-
try Is becoming reconciled 10 the prices
prevailing and is DESTROYS OF cashing IN
all the finished grades and many OF the
unfinished kinds, rnayhap, in fear Of
further break in values. The latter
will come. too, If generous shipping Is
not checked. Chicago is getting the
brunt of the western beef supply. and
the fact that runs at other markets ran
10 show proportionate increases is
doubtless the saving factor in the sit
uation. At six points the crop for four
days this week, totaling 10000, stands
on a parity with week ago and bout
5000 in excess Of a year ago
Yearlings are having grand old
market, relatively speaking. They are
doing price stunts which well en-
phasize their popularity in the retail
markets. Butchers are calling strongly
for the light carcasses and killers are
doing their best To supply them. while
the big carcasses are proving drug
on the market even tho they are being
purchased at relatively cheap cost
compared with 500 to LOO pound
steers.
Yearungs are showing a steady basis
with a week ago, while everything else
is lower, but the handy light steers are
but little changed, being quoted Thurs
day steady to 10 cents down from last
week. the choicest OF them holding I'M
changed. For all the plain heavy
steers it Is market lowest IN many
months past and far below that of a
wear ago now, when weight was scarce
and getting strong favor over the light
steers. Bulk of the plain TO choice
heavy steers. and even prime Dig
weights, in fact, are now quoted 10
cents lower than week ago. and ex-
IRENE Instances of 20@25 cents de-
cline have been shown in the past Two
days. These grades. too, are not de-
stined to get good market as long as
weight continues under killers BAN
and that situation IS likely TO last for
weeks.
There is no use looking for SHARP
cut in the runs next week. This was
the trade belief Thursday, since the
country is eviden cling a cashing-in dis
position. On strength of this situation
a crop of q 900 TO $4,000 is being pre-
dicted for next Monday and nobody ex-
poets anything good of the market for
other than strictly fat and choice
lixhts and yearlngs.
Sheep.
There was strength in the sheep
market, both for sheep and lambs.

week definite Instructions as to how
the new improvements in the parcel
post service shall be put into effect
Comm enting on the fact that the de-
partment had decided on Increasing the
maximum weight of parcels from eleven
pounds to twenty pounds. and that
there was to be a reduction OF rates
and a sim plification of service. he said:
II should say. off hand, that the in
crease of the weight limit and a sub
stantial reduction in rates Will large
~ add to the parcel post service Mer-
chants will be greatly pleased. am
sure, over the opportunity OF sending
through the mails much larger parcels
than they were able TO do previously
The order of the department, doing
away with the distinctive stamps. and
permitting ordinary postage stamps to
be used on parcels. was an excellent
thing.
since the order increasing the
weight OF packages and reducing the
rates does not go into effect until Au-
gust 18th, there will be plenty of time
for the people to famiiiarize themselves
with the new regulations"
II is estimated that nearly $4,000 0eo
parcels have been sent through the
mails the country over since January
LIST. when the service went into oper-
alton, and IL Is estimated that with the
new improvements upwards of 900.
600, 900 parcels will be handled every
year.
