RETURNING TO NORMAL

Dublin May i.-(via London)--A re- turn to normal conditions is being ac- complished gradually in Dublin and it now is possible to give the first com plete account of the happenings of the last week. Hitherto news of the upris- ing has reached the outside world in fragmentary form, owing to the interrup- ton of telegraphic communication. the censorship and the frequent conflict of statements, but the collapse of the rebel lion has removed these conditions in great part and the story of the uprising may now be given in proper sequence, in the light of information from author itative sources.
 When the irreconcilable opponents of British rule in Ireland proclaimed the republic their move was looked on gem orally as mere display of fanaticism. It was soon found, however. that it was an outbreak which had behind it a fair organization and suffice to strangle the life of the capital eand compel the au- thorities to send for military assistance from Finland. At no time, however, did the authorities consider the rebellion a menace to the government, nor did they have any fears as to their ability to cope with it quickly as soon as it's extent became apparent. What occurred was as follows:
 Monday--The first move was dash by members of the Sim Fein into the general postoffice. Many of these men were in the uniform of the Irish volun- teers. body formed at the time men of Ulster organized against granting home rule to Ireland, the object being to re- sist any attempt by Ulster to oppose the home rule law. The party worked quietly. compelling all officials to quit their posts

 SENTENCE FOR LIFT
Ayers That Aguinaldo Was ] Not Unwilling to Be Cap- tured and So Get Out of a Losing Game
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington. May 1.-(Specal. )-When the government of the United States reached the conclusion that Francisco Villa must be taken dead or alive, there was general satisfaction expressed when the supreme command of the punitive eS- petition was entrusted to Gen. Fred Funston.
 For the American public was not only familiar with, but obviously impressed, by the story of general and repeated cir culation that the peppery American chieftain had succeeded many oth- CTS had failed-in capturing Aguinaldo when that individual was the disturbing clement in the Philippine Islands.
 And now comes Walter L. Howard. Washington correspondent of the Manila Times, and a 2o-year resident of the Phil ippines, with statement to the effect that the story of Funston taking Aguin- aldo. either in a real or fgurative sense. is a myth.
 THE REAL HERO

MISSILE IS HURLED
At DRY SPECIAL
Stone Crashes Through Rear Win
dow of Observation Car; No
One Injured

Detroit, Mich., Oc:. 16.-A missile,
probably a stone, hurled violently by
an unidentified man, crashed against
the rear window Of the Dry's special
train observation car just outside Ft.
Wayne, Ind, tonight, showering brok.
en- glass over Ira Landreth, the Prohi.
bitiOn vice presidential candidate, and
other members of the party, but in
juring no one.
For time it was believed that the
train had been fired upon Finding
of stone on the observation platform
later, and failure to find bullet, caus.
ed the shooting theory to be virtually
abandoned.
An official report, made to railroad
officials at Montpelier, Ind, said that
either a stone or a bullet had struck
the train. Investigation was begun.
Earlier in the day, at Grensburg,
Ind, a man had yelled from the crowd
that Iandreth ought to die" At Ft.
Wayne, Landreth saw several men
peering at him through the window Of
his compartment, and one of them
said, there he is now" He was un-
decided tonight whether to accept the
stone theory. J. Frank Hanly, the
presidential nominee, who was in a
drawing room of the observation car,
when it was struck, was convinced
that only stone had been hurled.

CIVIL SERVICE
FOR HUNDREDS
IN STATE PAY
New Governor Committed to Ef.
ficiency Method Of Employ. :
ing Public Helpers i
RETIREMENT CLAUSE TO
PENSION OLD SERVANTS
Reward for Faithful Performance
Anticipated-Will Not Re-
move Present STATS =.

One of the certainties in legisla.
ton for 1917 is a civil service law
which will cover all of the state EN-.
ployes Of North Dakota, as we'll as
employees in counties and cities where
the staff totals more than SO people,
or the payroll exceeds $4,000.
Frazier's Hobby.
Civil service is a hobby of Lynn ].
Frazier, who seems very good bet
for the next governor OF North Da-
kota. He embodied civil service in
his platform early in the campaign,
and there is now being drafted mod
ell civil service bill which carries out
his ideas.
To Affect Hundreds.
The proposed law will affect every
clerk and employe and every public
official in the state service except
elective officers or those for whose ap-
pointment the constitution provides,
or who may be termed p0licy-direct-
ing officials. 1t will cover every state
institution, as we'll as the various ad-
ministrative departments, and there is
a possibility that it may be extended
to embrace the public educational
service.
To Provide For Commission.
The bill now being drafted will pro-
vide for a civil service commission of
three members, who will draw no sal.
ary, or, at the most, only per. diem.
The board will have full paid Sec
retary who will be the executive OH.
Ger. The author Of the proposed act
advises that it is not intended that
the law shall remove from Office en-
ployes now on duty in various depart.
ments and institutions, but 1t will
provide no advancement or increase
in salary for such employees except
through a standard civil service ex-
animation, and those employees who
have not taken the civil service ex-
animation may be removed without
trial, as under present conditions. 2..
Widely Extended.
Civil service is now in effect in ten
states and $50 cities, in addition to
the federal government, the Philip.
pines, Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico
and every province in the Dominion
of Canada. Massachusetts has $4,000
employees under civil service, and ii
has been adopted by many private
corporations, such as Marshall Field,
the Ford Motor company, the Nation
al Cash Register company, the Bur-
lington railway, the Pullman Car com.
pany and Sears-Roebuck & Co.
To Be Efficiency Measure.
The administration civil service
bill will be essentially an efficiency
measure, providing for a careful rec.
ord of the performances of each en-
ploye in the service. 1t will carry
with it retirement clause, providing
for the pensioning of aged employees
at graduated allowance, to be do
termined by length of service.

Hard Fighting Near Lutsk.
Hard fighting is going On from the
west of I.utsk through Galicia, to the
Carpathian mountains. In Volhynia,
despite fierce attacks by both sides
there seemingly is a stalemate. Petro'
grad reports that neither the AustrO
Germans nor the Russians have been
able to gain an advantage in Galicia
where battles have taken place along
the Tarnopol-Krasme railway, east OF
Lemberg and to the north of Stanis
lau.
Successes For French.
Several small successes of the Aus
tro.Germans have been obtained in
the Carpathians. The big guns on
both sides of the Somme in France
did the greater part of the work Mon
day. TO the south of the river how
ever, a small wood between Gener

FraZier's c,vsest friends, who is in

opinion that only inefficiency or par

eral upheaval," declared this gentle
man.
Some Appointments.
The governor will have to appoint
one member of the board Of control.
Commissioner Olson's term expires
this year Commissioner Brown was
named as an interim appointee by
Governor Hanna to fill the vacancy
created by the death Of Fred o. Brew
ster. He has two years more to serve.
Chairman Lewis holds over.
Reorganization Possible.
The governor will have one mem.
ber of the tax commission to name.
The term of Frank Z. Packard, chair
man, expires in May. There may be
some radical changes in both of these
commissions. 1t has been rumOred
that the board of control may. be re
organized to provide for a salaried
resident member, with two non-resi-
dent members who will receive only
a per diem. 1t is limited that similar
treatment may be given the state tax
commission, or that body may be dis
solved entirely and it's duties con.
ferred on board constituted in some
what the same manner as the state
board Of equalization.
Frazier stands committed to econ
omy and efficiency. He may find
grounds for pairing where there is a
multiplicity of boards or commissions
or department heads with overlapping
duties. If he does, he will consider
ably reduce his power to reward
friends, as the governor of North Da-
kota even now has very few juicy
plums to distribute among the faith
full.
