 Washington, D. C., April 13.-A good federal job that Connecticut man can have, especially one from New Britain or Hartford or that sec ton, is going begging because no one capable of taking 1t wants it.
 This is the situation which on- gressman Lonergan of the New Britain Hartford district is facing, following an announcement from the treasury department that he could recommend the appointment of a new national bank examiner for the district that embraces eastern Con- necticut and Rhode Island. MT. Lonergan has been looking for some bit of patronage of that kind, that carries good salary; and he re- ceived the notice the other day that a bank examinership was his as soon as he recommended a competent man. MT. Lonergan looked into the quali- fications required of an appointee to such place, found he must have certain national banking experience and be an expert accountant. Then he started out to find a competent man that wanted the job. He secured the ranks of the democrats in the district first, asked the dem ocratic leaders in his congressional district for suggestions and made a thorough canvass.
 Job Goes Begging.
 Of course, he found lot of per- sons competent to take the job. But to none of them did the salary and the job look attractive enough for tn criv y1o Then he took up a suggestion that a man be appointed from his district, regardless of his party affiliations. The same situation as before con- fronted him. But no one has been found to fill the place.
 A banker named Freeman of Prov idence, R. l., has passed the exami- nation for the place and is anxious for the job. Unless MT. Lonergan finds someone in his district or even in Connecticut, soon, MT. Freeman will receive the appointment. MT. Lonergan has been convinced that
 the men of banking experience in Connecticut have very good jobs; otherwise, one would like this na- tional bank examinership.
