ATTACK CIVIL SERVICE.
The Democrats Are Not Satisfied
With Its Workings.

The Washington correspondent OF
The s. ays distinct symptoms OF
a Demo. attack on past methods
Of adm. NJ ,lering the civil service and
of a disposition to make reprisals de-
yeloped in the Senate Wednesday.
For days there had been talk that it
was the purpose of many Democrats
in Congress to take advantage Of the
loopholes in the civil service law to
I'LL the offices with Democrats as far
as possible.
Senator Overman introduced
sweeping resolution calling for infor-
nation of the most comprehensive
sort as to the civil service situation
It calls for the laws and orders un-
der which the civil service commis-
sion exists and by which the civil
service system had been extended
the number of civil service employees
in each department.; the number OF
persons covered in the civil service
system by executive orders since Jan
uary l, 1900, the date and copy o!
the orders; the number of persons in
the classified service from each State,
territory and the District, and other
information along these lines.
After a few minor amendments the
resolution was adopted and full in
formation, as result, will be forth
coming.

'In formulating this additional i'm
post" said Chairman Underwood, IN
his report, the attempt has been
made to provide not only a source OF
revenue, but also a means Of redress
ing in some measure the unequal tax
burdens which result from the prac-
tice of placing the federal income en-
tirely upon customs and internal rev.
enue duties. This is system OF tax
alton which inevitably throws the
burden of supporting the government
upon the shoulders OF the consum-
ers. 1t correspondingly exempts the
men of larger incomes, whose con-
SUMPTION of the ordinary necessarles
of life is subject to tariff taxation in
a far less aggregate degree than IS
that of smaller income eaTners VINO
expend the greater proportion Of
their resources for the ordinary ne
cessities of life"
Speaking CT the principle Of taxa
ton laid down and the graduated
system proposed, Mr.. Underwood de-
clared: "Tne principle already has
been sustained by the supreme court
in the inheritance tax cases and
there can be no doubt that the same
principle applies to the income tax
included in this bill and will be fully
upheld should it ever be called into
question. Owing to the defects in
1ersonal property taxation the larger
incomes in the United States have for
many years been able to escape with
less than their share Of general bur-
den of taxation and this inequality
will be, it is believed, in part over
come by the plan proposed"
The bill provides that all taxable
persons shall be notified Of the
amount for which they are liable un-
der the law on or before the first day
of June Of each year and assess
ments be paid on or before June 80.
For delay in making payments and
10 days after notice, there shall be
added the sum Of five per cent. on
the amount of tax unpaid an1 IN
terest at the rate Of one per cent.
a month from the time the tax fell
due.
The corporation tax provision 1t IS
declared, shall be computed on the
income for the year ending December
q, 1915, and for each calendar year
thereafter. 1t is provided, however,
that corporations may designate the
last day of any month as the day OF
the closing of the fiscal year and
may have the tax computed on the
basis Of a net income ending on its
designated day. All labor, agrlcni-
tural, horticultural, fraternal, reli-
sious and mutual benefit socities are
made exempt from this proposed tax.

KILLED BY AN ENGINE.
Charleston Man Had Both Legs
Crushed in That City.

The Charleston Post says Tuesday
afternoon a little before three O'Clock
Mr.. Thomas J. Sughrue, yard clers
of the Charleston Terminal Company,
had both legs terribly mangled and
his left arm broken by an engine in
the yards along the water front. He
was rushed at once to the st. Fran
els Xavier infirmary, and although an
operation was performed IN the
hopes of saving his life, Sughrue died
at 10:45 o'clock Tuesday night. II
was while Sughrue was engaged in
checking box cars, it is said, on the
side tracks of the Terminal Company,
that the accident occurred, and that
the immediate cause was that when
he tried to avoid being struck by one
engine another one came up unoo-
served and, knocking him down, in
iicted the injuries that resulted in
his death.

PLUNGES TO HIS DEATH
UNITED STATES ARMY AVIATOR
KILLED IN FALL.
Lieutenant Chandler's Machine Fell
a Hundred Feet Into the Water
With Fatal Results.

In the sight Of scores Of persons
on Point Iona, Cal, who were
watching the flight, hydro-aero-
plane containing Lieut.. Rex Chand-
ler and Lieut.. Lewis H. Brereton, Of
the coast artillery corps, became sud-
denly disabled and plunged 100 feet
into the waters Of the bay.
Boats put out from Fort Rose
Grams Immediately to the rescue.
When Lieut.. Chandler was taken
from under the machine he was dead.
1t is believed he was killed instantly
by being struck by some part Of the
mechanism when the dydro-aeroplane
hit the water.
Lieut.. Brereton escaped with slight
injuries, but was suffering so severe
ly from the shock that when he at
tempted to explain the accident, he
collapsed almost to Inconsistencies.
At the fort hospital, whittier he was
rushed for treatment, admission was
denied all callers, the remainder Of
the day.
The two officers had started from
the army aviation school on North
Island, and were encountering no diff
fculty in their fight until suddenly
their craft veered sharply to the right
and plunged downward. Fellow avia-
tors at the school are unable to ac-
count for the accident.
With the death Of Lieut.. Chand-
ler, army aviation has enacted a toll
of eight lives, six commissioned Of
fcers and two instructors. The list
of fatalities follows:
Lieut.. L. C. Rockwell, killed when
plane refused to work at College
Park, Nd, September %, 1912.
Corporal Frank S. Scott, killed in
fall with Lieut.. Rockwell.
Lieut.. Leighton W. Hazlehurst'

chine crumpled at College Park June

tor, killed in fall with Lieut.. Halle
hurst.
Lieut.. E. M. Kelly, ground to
death beneath his aeroplane when he
struck ground too hard upon landing

Lieut.. Thomas E. Selfridge, dashed
to death at Fort Meyer, Va, Septem-
ber IT, 1908, while flying with Or

SHAKE UP Is COMING
REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS IS ASK
ED TO RESIGN.
Reorganization Of the Customs Ser
vice Has Been Begun by the DEM
OcratS.

A dispatch from Washington says
a reorganization Of the personnel of
the Democratic administration was
begun Wednesday when Secretary
tMcAdoo Of the treasury department,
took steps to disp!ace all the high
customs officials at the port Of Phil
adelphia. In announcing the action,
the secretary said, cit is considered
vital in the interest of the public that
new blood shall be brought into the
service"
Mr.. McAdoo asked for the resig-
nation of Chester Hill, collector; Per-
ry NJ. Little, surveyor; Fred P. Vim
cent, appraiser, and Walter T. Mer-
rick, naval officer, all Of Philadelphia.
He officially announced that the res
ignations were requested mot be-
cause charges have been preferred
against them, but because it is deem
ed essential that these places shall be
filed by persons who are in sympathy
with the purpose and policies OF the
administration and also because it is
considered vital in the interest OF the
public that new blood shall be
brought into service"
Treasury officials contented them
selves with that brief statement,
which was the first indication that
sweeping reorganization Of the Gus
toms service was about to begin. Of
ficials were reticent as to possible
future moves In this direction but 1t
is known that the secretary has his
eyes on the Boston Office, where an
alleged customs scandal is being un-
earthed. Close attention is being
given to the general question Of re-
organization in connection with the
radical redistricting of the service on
July /.

KILLED BY THE POLICE.
Atlanta Horse Was Bitten by Mad
Dog and Goes Mad.

An Atlanta dispatch says just as a
variation on the dozens Of mad dog
calls police officers have had during
the last two or three weeks, there
came a telephone call from SO Tin
dali street Wednesday morning, that
a horse, recently bitten by a dog, had
gone mad and was kicking the stable
to pieces. When the policeman got
there he found that the horse was
foaming at the mouth and was 80
wild that nobody dared enter the
stall he was in, nor even the stable.
The animal had already kicked the
stall to pieces and smashed out sever
al planks in the barn. After teie-
phoning the veterinary to make sure
there was no other way, the police
man raised his long barrel SO in the
sill of the door and put a couple Ct
bullets in its head.

PRESIDENT WILSON has NO Sec.
RETS TO Hide.
WANTS PUBLIC TO KNOW
Anybody May Find Out What is Go
ing on at the White House-The
Presidents Secretary is Always
Accessible and Can be Seen by the
poOnIo

The whispers and the gumshoe ar
lists and the mysterious fellow who
moves around on tiptoe with his fin
ger to his lips ("mum's the word,
you know'') are disappearing rap
idly from Washington, says corre-
spondent of The Baltimore Sun, writ
ing from Washington. Tost Of them
have already gone from the White
House precincts, along with the gold
lace boys, those army and navy aids
who used to stand around in full uni
form most Of the time, giving an air
of splendor to the landscape. Gold
lace seems TO be at discount in the
neighborhood Of the White House.
A military or naval uniform is rare
ly seen and the Whisperer's occupa-
ton is gone.
All of which delights the newspa-
per correspondent, who Is almost
startled, after all these years OF
aboveboard. He can hardly realize
that he can. get straightforward an
swer to almost any question he may
want to ask. 1t is all so different.
Even the attaches of the Office, who
have held over from the Taft admin
istration, seem relieved at the
change, although some Of them at
first shook their heads in doubt as to
how the new policy would work out.
Now they are not afraid to be seen
talking openly to newspaper CORE
spondents and realize that they will
not be suspected of diyulging official
secrets.
To those who knew President Will
son and the man he has chosen to be
his secretary there is nothing strange
in the new order of things. But the
correspondents on duty in Washing
ton, or most of them, did not know
either until they took up their resi-
dence at the capital. President Will
son has always been a foe Of secrecy
where the peoples business is con-
cerned, and has frequently stated
that he could see no reason why the
people should not be kept informed
promptly of what their officials are
doing. Except for some few matters
involving international affairs he
could not see why there should be
any secrecy about what went on In
official WASHINGTON.
Secretary to the President Tumul-
ty agrees with him heartily, but the
correspondents who have spent years
in Washington shook their heads.
"They all talk that way at first"
they said, "but the order soon goes
out that no information is to be
given, except by the heads OF the de-
partments, and then they refuse to
saw anything" They are amazed
and delighted to find that their pro-
phecies have gone awry, although
some of them still shake their heads
and say that it can not last; 1t Is too
good.
In these days any responsible
newspaper man can get the straight
stuff" from the White House and
from the departments without any
trouble, and there is now no excuse
for the reams of conjectural matter
that used to pour out of Washington.
There is no need OF conjecture; the
facts can be obtained.
