Washington, Jan. 16.-President
Wilson has let it be known that he
was opposed to a return of the "spoils
system" of postoffice appointments
and would veto the postOffice appro-
priation bill move before the house un-
less the 'trider" in it eXempting as
sistant postmasters from the classi-
fled service were eliminated.
The president, it is understood, has
decided to call a halt to what has been
charged by; civil service advocates as
a tendency in. congress to break down
the merit system. He was confront
ed in the tariff, currency and 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
service had not been weakened and
that the merit system could be ap-
Piled. &
The rider in the postoffice appro-
priation bill, as reported to the house,
would give the postmaster general the
right to revoke the appointment of
any assistant postmaster "and ap
point his successor at his discretion"
without regard to the civil service act
or it's amendments. = ~
POstflastsr General Burleson re-
Gently wrote Representative Moon,
chairman Of the postoffice committee,
stating his opposition to the proposal,
but it was not withdrawn.
The president is expected soon to
inform house leaders of his views.

TITANIC
UNSOUND
IS CLAIM

London, Jan. 16.--The plea that the
Titanic was unseatsarthy when she
left England in April, 1912. on her dis
astrous maiden trip which cost the
lives of over 1900. was advanced in a
suit for damages brought against the
White Star line by Thomas Whitley,
one Of the surviving stewards. The
plaintiff had leg broken in the dis
aster.
WhiteIey's counsel, who is a. mem
Der of parliament, will advance the
argument that there was negligence
in the steering gear of the ill-fated
liner.
The hearing is set For March 1. This
will be the first time a suggestion Of
the unseaworthiness of the Titanic
has been raised in the courts.
