became infatuated with the young wife

the reporter that she knew Mr.. Willis
very well. But she was emphatic in
her denial of their friendship having
gone too far.

REGULATIONS
COVERING THE
EXAMINATIONS
CONGRESSMAN WILSON INFORM
ed THAT LIST OF RULES ARE
TO BE PRINTED INyFEw DAYS
AND DISTRIBUTED. :.
BY WINFIELD JONES

Washington, d. G, May iS.-Before
leaving for Pensacola for atweek's stay
during the lull in the house, Represent
alive Wilson called on Postmaster
General Burieson, and then ON the civil
service commission, to get a clear out
line of the plan of President Wilson S
recent order directing that examina-
tons be held to fill every postof1ce in
salary over $3.50 a year.
He was todd by the civil service COM
mission that list of rules and regu-
Iations covering the examinations are
to be printed. within the next few days,
and distributed generally, so that the
candidates for postoff1ces in Florida
may understand the requirements.
Assistant: pos tmasteTs9are to be sub
ject to practically the same rules of
examinations as the postmasters.
Il was toA1 by the commission" said
Mr. Wilson; that where a postmaster
finds In thefoff1ce to which he secures
appointment through examination, an
assistant postmaster, who lis objection
abe. he is at liberty to call on the
postoff5ce department for an examina-
ton to be held by the civil service
commission. for the selection of an as
sistant. Examination to secure an as
sistant however, will not be neces-
sary, where the postmaster Is salts
fed with his assistant.
"As there are a number OF assistants
in our state who have been long-life
republicans. some of these will be OBJ
iectionable to many democrats who are
appointed through competitive examf-
nations. and doubtless many Of these
republican asSiStantSEwIll have to sub
init to examination
Rural delivery carTiersaon routes at
present, I understand, are to be unmo-
Tested, except where their removal Is
deemed advisable for cause. They are
rot to be subjected to a competitive
IN firg71 W O.
ours, or a new route is established, q
connective examination will be held.
THE officials of the civil service
commission told me-" continued the
tions will be simple. The postmaster
must be able to read, to count money
accurately, and to write an ordinary
letter.
Personal requirements OF the civil
service are not too exacting. The ap-
plicant must be a citizen of the United
States, over twenty-one years old. and
must reside in the community served
by the Office he expects to fill. No one
will be eligible who is crazy, blind,
deaf or dumb, an ex-convict, or who
has a penchant for consuming whiskey
in unreasonable quantities.
After an applicant has passed the
examinations he will be eligible for
office for one year, but where a va
cancy occurs over one year from the
date of the last examination. new
examination will be necessary.
Following the examination of ap-
plicants. the civil service commission
viii certify to the postoffioe depart
ment the three men, who stood highest,
for the department to make a choice.
1T is generally understood that the
congressman representing that district
viii. be consulted as to the most de-
sirable man. If Mr.. Burleson chooses
any man in my, district who is not
good Florida democrat, I will feel I
have a. grievance"
