WASHINGTON. Oct 5.--Fearing that
two measures recently passed by con-
gress to make government appoint
ments from private life is just the
entering wedge OF plan to disrupt
the civil service and distribute pie
wholesale to the Democrats. President
Wilson was appealed to today by the
National Civil Service Reform league,
an organization representing civil SER
vice employees in which Republicans are
overwhelmingly In the majority, to use
his influence to have stricken from the
urgent deficiency bill the provision for
taking deputy collectors and deputy
marshals out OF the civil service.

by the Democrats TO pluck Few
feathers from the protecting wing TO
the civil service was first aroused
when a provision for appointing col
leetors OF the income tax from private
life. was inserted in the tariff bill and
broke from cover when the amendment
was made to the urgent deficiency bill
taking deputy collectors and deputy
marshals out OF the civil service.
The president Is asked TO issue an
executive order providing that the
deputy collectors. inspectors and agents
for the income tax be appointed from
competitive eligible lists and TO use

up under his injuries.
He smiled nonchalanuy when the
president grasped his chubby hand and
inquired how he was feeling Then
he said:
IT didn't know 1t was you when

The president, who had had the dis

car that had done the running into,
replied:
Il suppose that IL you had known II
was me you wouldn't have done it?
The youngster Is being treated for an
abrasion of the knee and several
bruises These injuries are by no means
serious, but the president, who has dis
played much solicitude about the ae-
citent, has given orders that he shall
not be allowed TO leave the hospital
until entirely well.
Then he is to have a fine new
