TO CALL A HALT ON
 THE sPoILs SYSTEM President Wants Assistant Postrnasters tr Remain in Classified List.

Washington, Jan. 14-President Wilson let 1t be known today that he was opposed to a return of the "spoils system of postoff1ce appointments and would veto the postoff1ce appropriation bill now before the house unless the rider" in it exeInpting assistant post masters from the classified service were eliminated.
 The president, it is understood, has decided to call halt to what has been charged by civil service advocates as a tendency in congress to break down the merit system He was confronted in the tariff, currency and the urgent deficiency bills with the civil service problem, but in signing these measures took the position that his power of placing employees in the classified ser vice had not been weakened and that &he merit system could be applied
 The rider in the postoff7ce appro- priation bill. as reported to the house, would give the postmaster general the right to revoke the appointment of any assistant postmaster and appoint his successor at his discretion with out regard to the civil service act or fits amendments.

Although Charles J. PecI1haIn is in the Kingston jail in default of S5,O0o bonds for appearance for trial Friday Tn the Third district court, to answer to the charge of assaulting and attempt ing to rob Jacob Beringer, and was positively identified by MT. Beringer and son, Cecil as one of the two men who committed the assault, it now ap- pears to be clear case of mistaken identity. Chief Brown leaned to that opinion at the outset, but when pos tive Identification came 1t was 1a- perative that a formal complaint be made. This complaint, backed by the statements of the Beringers, made 1t plain for Judge Williams of the Third district court to hold the accused for trial Peckham insisted that the Der fingers were mistaken and that he waS not the person they believed him to bf, as he absolutely knew nothing of the holdup except what he had read in the newspapers. There Is strong suspicion, however that Peckham knows something of breaking and en- tering cottages at Pleasant View, for which he was originally arrested by Chief Brown.
 Chief Brown, in spite of the identifi- cation, did not believe that Peckham committed the hoIdup, and he contin- ued his investigation. He asked for as- distance from Officers Jackson and Downing of the Connecticut state po- lice force, who are engaged in special work at New London. Tuesday night Chief Brown was advised that the two men who committed the crime in West erly were in custody at the New Lon don police station. Chief Brown, ac- cotnpanied by Constable John Catto As interpreter, went to New London and returned to Westerly with the two men who are charged with assaulting MT. Beringer and attempting to rob him.
 The Beringers, father and son. were called to the police station, and they unhesitatingly declared that they were Peckham, but they were positive be- yond any possible doubt that the two men brought from New London were the guilty ones.
 The men under arrest are Charles Valento a barber, and Peter Roma, or no special occupation. After commit ting the assault the men went to Prov idence, then to Worcester and back to New London. In Worcester, January g. Roma. under the name of Peter La roma. pawned seal ring, and January 10 he pawned a. revolver in the same city, as shown by pawn tickets found in his possession. Roma is the taller one and Mir Beringer says he is the man who held the revolver. Cecil Der inger says Roma is the man he grap- pied with, and both Beringers declare that Valenta is the fellow who struck them with the club, and forced the re- lease of Roma
 Roma and valenta were arraigned Wednesday night before Judge Will Hams in the Third district court and entered pleas of not guilty. The cases were continued to Fridays session of court, and they wre held in bonds of S5 900 each.
