CIVIL SERVICE FOR DRY

Against Senate Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Letters pro-
testing against passage in its present
form of bill recently reported favora.
bly, by the Senate Civil Service Com
mite to place prohibition enforce
ment agents and inspectors in the
classified civil service were sent to-
night to members OF the Senate by
II. w. Marsh, Secretary of the National
Civil Service Reform League.
The protest expresses the league s
objections to provisions OF the bill
which. it says. would permit present
incumbents to hold their positions,
without any or further exafhination'
and would permit "the appointment OF
252 Of the higher, officials without re-
gard to the civil service law" The
letters add that while some legislation
to bring the prohibition enforcement
positions within the civil service regula-
tions has become essential" the pend
ing measure provides mo means OF re-
lieving the bureau of its present corps
of unfit employees. nor even of pre-
venting in the future a continuance of
the notorious practices Of graft and
corruption which it has been proven
are now so prevalent

series of wild storms starting on De-
cember Ia about 800 mites northeast

Garfield came upon her wallowing in
the heavy seas the Rosa Ferlita. which
carries three masts, was minus her
foretopmast and all of her sails. She
was heavy with $4,000 feet of ma
hogany and, while her steering gear
was intact and workable, she was in
danger of becoming unmanageable be-
cause her cargo was sliding forward
and holding her head down.
