SAY SMITH WAS
NOT EXAMINED
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, August 18.-The State
Civil Service Commission made pub
lie today the letter sent to it by the
State House Commission with refer
ence to the appointment of John A.
Smith, Democrat, of Camden, as Gus
todian of the state house. Mr..
Smith succeeds John w. Weseman, a
Republican, and was elected as GUS
todian by the Democratic State
House Commission without an exam
ination or without paying any other
attention to the civil service regula-
tions,, although the Civil Service
Commission had the position classi-
fed under civil service. The State
House Commission is composed of
Governor Fielder, State Comptroller
Edward l. Edwards and State Treas
urer Edward E. Grosscup. The gov
ernor and Mr.. Edwards voted to
make Smith the custodian, Mr..
Groscup voting for Frank B. Schroth,
a Trenton newspaper man.
After this action had been taken
without regard to civil service regu-
lations, the Civil Service Commission
wrote to the state house commits
sion requesting 1t to state under
what law the custodian was elected.
The reply of the State House Com
mission was written at It's request
by State Comptroller Edwards. the
secretary of the commission. 1t
makes no reference whatever to civil
service regulations nor to an opinion
from Attorney General Wescott, al
though 1t is understood that the
State House Commission had a ver-
bal opinion from Mr.. Wescott be-
fore Smith was elected, reversing
a former decision of the Attorney
Generals Department, and holding
that the custodian is the head of a
department, and, therefore, not pro-
tected by civil Service.
The Civil Service Commission Is
meeting today in the city hall in Jer-
sey City, and it is expected that be-
fore the meeting is concluded this
afternoon the letter of the State
House Commission will be officially
considered.
