PRES,WILSON OBJECTS
To "SP0.LS SYSTEM"
--P,O. APPOINTMENTS.

Washington, Jan. 14.-President Will
son let it be known today that he was
opposed to return of the "Spoils sys-
tenn of postotfices appointments and
would veto the postoffice APPROPRIATION
bill now before the House, unless the
Rider in it, eyempting assistant
postmasters from the classified service,
were eliminated.
The President, it is understood, has
decided to call a halt to what has
been charged by Civil Service advo-
Gates 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 service had not been weak
ened. and that the merit system could
be applied.
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 appoint
a successor at his discretion" without
regard to the Civil Service act or its
amendments.
Postmaster General Burleson recent
ly wrote to Rep. Moon, chairman of
the postofffce committee, stating his
opposition to the proposal, but 1t was
not withdrawn.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Formal notice

the American charge, that the sus-

Hitoyoshi, Japan, Jan. ia refu-

ture of the overwhelming of villages
by earthquake and eruption.
The. earthquakes began ON Sunday
he said, and the people passed fear
full night in their gardens. In the
morning flaming bouiders descended
and set fire to the houses. Women and
children fled and were followed by the
men. Red hot ashes blinded and
burned them.
There were no boats on shore, and
most of the fugitives had to wait the
coming of rescuers others with la
mentations flung themselves into the
sea- Many of the aged refused to
leave, crying that they preferred to
die in the home of their ancestors. One
by one swimmers were drowned or
killed.
"Pumice stone and lava spurted
from the craters; vaper obscured the

Beardsley the Summerdale farmer
who shot John c. w. Putnam, over
seer of the poor of Chatauqua county
yesterday, is still barricaded tonight
in his little farm house which is sur
rounded by a posse of 20 armed men.
In the sheriff's force are half a doz-
en- crack shots, who are under in
structions to fire at Beardsley when
ever he shows himself. Fear of
wounding Mrs. Beardsley or the nine
children in the house with the des-
perado was the reason for the sher-
ifs order confining the shooting to the
sharpshooters.
Only three or four shots were fired
during the day, Beardsley keeping un-
der cover most of the time. Late this
afternoon, Timothy Van Cise, the ru-
raj free delivery mail carrier. and Will
liam Walker, a friend of Beardsley,
walked boldly up to the front door of
the house. Beardsley refused to ad
nit him, but talked to them through
broken window for a short time. He
declared that he would resist arrest
until he was dead.
His. friends urged him to surren-
der for the sake of the children and
Beardsley finally promised to give
himself up tomorrow
Mrs. Beardsley came to the window
and begged the men to bring food an(
firewood. She said there was no fire
in the house and that the children
were starving. -
They reported these conditions to
Sheriff Anderson. The sheriff sent two
men to the house with food They had
orders to rush Beardsley If they sue

approached the house, however
Beardsley covered them with a rifle
and made them pass the food through
a window.
