TO TAKE MANY p. MS
FROM CIVIL SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 14.-An
amendment to the postoftice appro-
prlation bill to annul executive orders
placing assistant postmasters and
clerks in first class offices and all
fourth class postmasters under the
classified service was adopted today
by the house, sitting as committee
OF the whole. The vote was 40 to Is,
all Republicans reEralning from vot-
ing, and many Democrats absenting
themselves from the chamber. Re
publican leaders had quietly cautioned
the members on their side to let the
Democrats settle the matter among
themselves.
This amendment will be q storm
center when the appropriation bill is
reported to the house from the COM
mittee of the whole, probably to-mor-
row. Many Democrats oppose it, but
Representative Cullop, Of Indiana,
who offered the amendment, and
others, denounce President Taft's ex.
ecutive orders, as partisan actions to
perpetuate in Office Republicans ap,
pointed under the S;;spoIls system"
Another amendment offered in the
committee occasioned q. lively discus,
sion. Representative, Jackson, OF
Kansas CRepublicanl, was the author
and the amendment. proposed to bar
from tho mail in dry" territory let.
tiers, pamphlets, newspapers and peri
odlca!s carrying liquor advertise
ments, and to bar AL such matter ad
vertlslng for sale stocks or bonds Of
corporations unless fayorably passed
upon by the postmaster general. The
amendment was lost, 50 to 81.

MANY KILLED BY TORNADO IN
NEBRASKA TOWNS

NG3NFSINN ] ONNNNS
Omaha, May 15.-With the recoI-
lection of the Easter Sunday tornado
that cost 125 lives fresh in their
minds, residents of Omaha were not
entirely recovered from the fright
that sent them rushing to their eel
lars when the tail end of the tornado
that caused a death toll at Seward,
Neb., struck the eastern part Of the
city late last night.
Nine persons were killed and a
score injured at Seward. The death
list in Tomaro and McCool Junction,
through which the twister swept
after passing through Seward, is es-.
ttmated at five.
The tornado hit Seward near the
Fair Grounds Park, southwest of the
town, tore path from a block to two
blocks wide, and then licked its way
northeast. One-fifth of the town,
which has a population of 2,100, was
in the path Of the storm.
Houses were crushed in, trees were
uprooted and borne along by the ter
rife wind, and telegraph, telephone
and electric light wires were wrecked.
Following the tornado a eloudburst
broke over the city.
After a tour of the wreckage the
mayor and chief Of police said the
local authorities would be able to
handle the situation. Aid has been
offered by the National Red Cross.
