Other Facts Given Out BY
State Department

The state civil service commission
will hold examinations for district tax
assessors, either the first or second
week in January, according to an an
nouncement made Saturday. Special
examiners W IL be appointed to take
charge of these examinations, which
will be held in the different county
seats. These will be, as far as possi-
BILE, examiners already in the service
of either the state or county, and the
tests will all be conducted from the
court houses or some other county
building which is centrally located.
Notices of the dates Of these exam
nations, together with the place where
they will be held, will be announced
In the county seat papers before the
first of the new year.
The commissioners are preparing
blank forms for applicants, and these

the demands of majority of the lead
ers. The principal changes demanded
are in the basis of representation
from the Southern States and in the
method of electing delegates from
States that have primary laws gov
erning that subject.
The time and place for holding the
national convention are as yet unde-
cided. Many of the members of the
national committee have Expressed
themselves In favor of holding the
convention early next summer, but
some believe that the convention
should be held as early as March in
order that the work of reorganization
and the restoration of harmony may
be commenced as soon as possible.
Chicago appears to be the most likely
convention city, although the claims
of Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Detroit,
indianapolis, Washington and other
applicants will be given consideration

These application blanks will be ready
ready for distribution the latter part
of next week. 1t is unnecessary for
prospective applicants to go to Colum-
bus for information about the examina-
tions. The commissioners expect there
will be from 6000 to 5000 papers to
grade as a result of these examina-
tions.
The members of the state civil SER
vice commission have taken every
precaution possible to keep secret the
identity of each applicant from the
examiner who grades the papers. The
commissioners have taken every step
necessary to observe the mandate of
Governor Cox, that the spirit of the
merit system be observed in filling
these places, and that the test must be
reasonable.
Conferences between members of the
state tax and the civil service COM
mission concerning these places have
been about: First, the method of con-
ducting these examinations, and sec
ond, the two main tests.
All papers will be sent to the exam
iners in the different counties under
seal and must be opened by them in
the presence of the class and dis
tributed to the members. After the
applicants have written down theiI
answered to the questions propounded
the papers will be collected by the ex
aminer, again sealed in the presence
of the class and mailed or expressed
to the office of the state commission
To keep secret the identity of the
applicants from the examiner who
grades the paper, system of double
numbering has been decided upon
The applicant first uses an identified
ton sheet, on which he places his
name and number This he places IL
an envelope. The envelope is sealet
and is not opened until the Applicant
grades are assembled and his correc
average determined. On the front o
the envelope appears only the iden
tification number of the applicant.
On each examination paper contain
ing the questions the applicant will
place only his Identification number
his name appearing nowhere on IL
When the applicants paper reaches tn
office of the state commission, tn
chief examiner places it on grading
number which is unknown to the al
plicant and the person doing the grat
ing. This number is placed beneat
his Identification number on perfol
ated slip, which Is then detached fror
the examination paper and preserved
This grading number is also placed o
the examination paper, which is give
the person grading the paper.
So there is no way for the perso
doing the grading to know whose p'
per he is looking over and the appl
|. cant himself would not be able to a
, complish anything, through the pc
, son doing the grading should he te
him his Identification number.

PresIdent wilson At La Plata.

For the first time in the history OF
La Plata President Of the United
states visited here. On Saturday last
President Wilson in company with his
aid and Secret Service men came to La
Plata in one OF the White House auto
mobiles aud stopped for half an hour
or so to look at the base ball game be-
tween La Plata and Indian Head. The
President was not recognized at first as
he stopped his machine in the road and
there watched the game lie was re.
eognized first by Miss Julia Musehette
as she drove passed the machine on her
way to the game. About the same
time Mr.. r. L. Mitchell also recoguiz-
ed him and extended the President an
Invitation TO come inside the grounds
which he declined With thanks. Sever
al other gentlemen also spoke to the
President.
The President las made frequent
trips through this section Of the State
and we extend him warm and hearty
invitation to come here again and often
His visit is due particularly to the goo
ROADS. Had we not had such good
roads from Washington here we would
probably never have had the honor Of
visit from President of the United
States.

Baseball.


The La Plata Champs of 1912 played
their first game on the home grounds
this season on Saturday last in which
they were defeated bY Indian Head,
the score being 7 to 3. This makes
the Champs second defeat, both OF
which were principally due to errors.
The game was attended by a large
crowd among whom was the President
Of the United STATES.
Gene Mudd was on the mound and
pitched cracker jack game allowing
only five hits but he failed to get the
support he deserved, the home team
having eight errors charged against
them. Ferguson, who did the twirl-
ing for the visitors also pitched star
game, but received much better sup.
port by his team mates.
Griffin Mudd for the home team and
Ferguson for the visitors each got two
hits.

to the Defendant, Matilda Woodburn,
nee Roeper, with whom he resided in
Washington City and the District Of

after said marriage.
That although The conduct of the
Plaintiff toward the Defendant was
kind, atfsctionate and above reproach.
and that although he has always been
ready to provide her with comforta-
bic abode and support commensurate
with his means, she has nevertheless
without just cause abandoned and de-
serted him, declaring her intentions to
live with him no longer, aud that such
Abandonment is deliberate, final and
beyond any reasonable expectation Of
reconciliation.
That no children were born to the
Plaintiff and Defendant by their afore-
said marriage.
That the Defendant, the said Matilda
WOODBURY., is nonresident OF the
State of Maryland.
1t is thereupon ordered, this Bird day
