TO REMOVE POLITICS
FROM POSTOFF|CES
To Place I'd and Sd Class
Offices in Classified Service.

Postmaster General Burleson an.
nounced that it was the purpose OF
President Wilson and himself to take
into the classified service, probably
within the next year, all postmasters
of the second and third classes.
After a conference with President
Wilson the postmaster general a!s0
announced that all fourth class post
masters now in oiice and candidates
for appointment would be subjected
to competitive examination to deter.
mine their fitness for the office. These
men were placed in the classified SER
vice by President Taft toward the end
of mis- term.
The postmaster general issued
staten enI saying that President Taft's
action in placing "a great horde OF
persons" in the classified service was
not in conformity with the spirit of
the civil service, as there had been no
tests to determine the merits of the
applicants.
The new order u;lined retains in
tne classified service all fourth class
postmas:ers. but requires a selection
from among the first three eligible
applicants. The age limit for appoint
es is sixty-fve years.
MIR Burleson indicated that the ad-
ministration wished to take the fourth
class postmasters out Of politics, but
pointed out that Democrats as we'll as
Republicans would have an opportuni-
~ to qualify.

CURRENCY REFORM
TO CONE UP IN JUNE
President Wilson FavOrS Quick
Action,
Currency legislation will be taken

Currency legislation WILL be taken
up by the house about June l.
This announcement was made by
Representative Underwood, the Demo-
cratic house leader, after conference
at the White House with President
Wilson, who urged that banking re-
forms be considered at the present
session and laws be enacted, if pos.
sible.
Mr.. Underwood was accomuanied by
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer, OF
Pennsylvania, chairman of the house
caucus.
1--WE came up to find out what the
house should do," said Mr.. Under
wood, while the senate is considering
the tariff bill. The president is dis.
posed to want currency legislation at
this session, so think the house will
take a recess of about three weeks,
during which the banking and curren-
cy committee will be organized and
we all will be ready for work June l."
Mr.. Underwood expected the pres1-
dent soon to send a special message to
congress urging currency reform. The
president talked over draft of the
Owen-Glass bill, which, it is under
stood. will represent the administra-
tions views. Neither Mr.. Underwood
nor Mr.. Palmer was willing to make
known the presidents views on de-
tails.
If by the time the tariff bill has
passed the senate there has no. been
a complete agreement on bill the
subject of currency will be deferred
until the regular session in December.

London MiIitants Burn Church.

st. GATHERINGS, the parish church or
Hatcham, in the southeast OF London
was DESTROYED by fire, and the outrage
is placed by the police to the account
of the militant suffragettes.
The edifice was we'll alight before
the fire was discovered, and the roor
crashed in soon after the arrival OF
the firemen. An attempt to blow up
the Grand hotel with bomb was
frustrated by policeman. =,
The pastor of the church saw thTS4
women in the building shortly befGfS
the fire broke out. He assumed tfef
were worshippers, as the church WIS
kept open for private prayer throue2S
out the day. \ number of hassoT$
were found saturated with oil. V
Following an investigation the po-
lice were convinced that sufragettes
set fire to the church by using an eX-
plosive bomb. The rapidity with which
the blaze spread indicated that oil
soaked rags. cotton or paper had been
spread throughout the interior of the
church.
A militant suffragette caught by the
police in the act of placing bomb at
the entrance to the Grand hotel, which
is crowded with American tourists,
was brought up in the Bow street
police court later in the day and re-
manded by the magistrate for further
injuries. She gave the name of Ada
Ward.
