OUT OF POLITICS
Second and Third Glass Post.
masters to Be Classified.
Fourth Glass Officers Subject
to an Examination.

Washington, May 7.-Postmaster
General Burleson announced today
that 1t was the purpose of Mr.. Wilson
and himself to take into the classified
service probably during the next
year, all postmasters of the second
and third classes. Fourth class Of
fces already have been covered by ex-
ecutive order.
After a conference with Presd dent
Wilson, PostmaS -er General Burieson
would be issued requiring that all
fourth class postmasterS now in office
or candidates for prospective appoint
ment should be subjected to a competi-
tive examination to determine their
fitness for the office.
The postmaster general issued a
statement explaining the purpose of
the new executive order, declaring that
President Tafts action in putting the
fourth class poStmaSters in the CLASH
fled service was not sufficient and that
the mere placing of "a great horde of
persons" in the classified service was
not in conformity with the spirit of
the civil service as there We're no tests
to determine the merits of the appli-
cants.
The new order which substantially
amends the Taft executive order, re-
tains in the classified service all fourth
class poStmasterS but specifically re-
Quires a competitive examination and
a selection by postoffice inspectors from
among the first three eligible appli-
cants. The order places the age limit
for appOinteeS at 65 years.
Mr.. Burleson in his discussion of the
situation indicates wilson's admins
tration wishes to take the fourth class
postmasters out of politics but points
out that Democrats as well as Repub
Gcans will have an opportunity under
competitive examination to show fit

of a Kansas City Southern passenger

Jesse M. Short, of Joplin, left the police
still in doubt Short said yesterday
he was positive Watson is the man
with whom he exchanged shots in the

the Pullman, who stood within few
feet of the robber while the shoot
ing was going on said today Watson's
voice was that of the bandit but would
not identify him positively.

passenger on the robber train, who
also saw the robber, said he was GER

brakeman, who saw the robber swing
off the rear platform and escape said
his view was too fleeing to enable him
to identify Watson as the man. Fur
Their efforts will be made to identify
Watson. The police are placing eSpe-
cial weight upon the testimony of Os-
car Allen, the porter whom the robber
forced to assist him in the hold up of
passenger. Allen was expected to ar
rive here late today.
Short told the police if he were placed
blindfolded in a room with Watson he
would recognize in him the robber be-
cause of an individual southern drawl
in Watson's voice. Short said he would
swear to an information against Wat
son as soon as he could leave the hos
pital.
Morgan, the porter, said he was a bit
confused by the weeks growth of beard
upon Watson's face. He had said pre-
viously the bandit was of about the
