He compared the frenzy of prospective voters to a sham battle arranged by strategists who, aware of how the game" is generated, chuckle on the sidelines. That the people were onslaved; that they paid the bosses through heavier taxes for their ability in manipula- tion was directly charged. That it was Harding he had in mind through out was generally thought to be true. Ignoring Civil Service
 Repeated charges by democrats that President Harding and his off cials are ignoring the civil service regulations in order to favor "de- serving republicans have got under the skins of the President and his as sistants.
 To refute the charges, the Post master General, Mir. Work, has is sued a statement tending to prove that in southern states democrats had been given more than a "sflow" in postmaster appointments. and In some of these states more democrats than republicans had been ap- pointed.
 In Louisiana, according to Work, 190 democrats and S9 republicans had been named; in South Carolina, f0I democrats and 22 republicans; in Mis- sissippi, GA democrats and "A repub- licans; in Florida, 72 republicans and AZ democrats; in Georgia, Ss repub- hcans and 54 democrats.
 The statement of the Postmaster General has caused great amusement among democrats. They point out the fact that in the states referred to democrats, expected to have an equal break with republicans, outnumber republicans from four to ten to one and the Encouragement is even great bile of diseharging tile duties of of CT when the number mentally capa- ffcial place are considere Accord ing to democrats. if negroes be elim- mated, practically every republican south is an officeholder, or contem- plates being.
 Democrats are preparing to call on Work for a statement of postmaster appointments in states wherein dem ocrats and republicans are more evenly balanced in number. and wherein republicans are relatively as strong as democrats in southern states.
 The most fragrant apuse of civil service regulations, Senator Caraway of Arkansas contends, was when the President, about one year ago. turned out employees of the bureau of print ing and engraving, and after filling their places with republicans, found no fault with them and restored their civil service status, but not their old positions.

BOOTLEGGERS ARE
 UNABLE T0 RESIST MODERN MINSTREL
Asher Brings Another Host of Liquor Dealers Into Police Courts Through Clever
 DisguiseS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Through the magic strains of When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again" from the strings of violin in the hands of J. L. Asher, Washington's versa tile revenue agent, who for week has been essaying the role of a modern Pied Piper of Hamlfn, more than 80 ssalleged bootleggers have been uncosered recently and were arrested todayrafter raids conducted siniultan eouslys in every section of the capital More than 56 individual raids were conducted, netting in ad- dition to the prisoners 5000 gallons of Aquor.
 ,.@ switching his disguise from ash cart driver and coal deliverer by means of which he recently col lected evidence for SO raids netting as many arrests. Asher last week donned the shabby, but gay, clothes of a wandering minstrel. selected harp-playing companion from the detective squad, George Bauer, and { from their limited assortment of old time melodies played tpeir way into the hearts of Washingtonians and on to the trails of bootlegg whisky. Heavy Load Collected.
 A storeroom full of pint bottles and demijohns of whisky and wine collected by the minstrel revenue agents was sorted last night by pro- hibition chiefs and police and orders given the raiders for their drive to- day.
 All afternoon the patrol wagons ran hurriedly between the fast travelling squads of raiders in the various police precincts, carrying prisoners to the station houses while government trucks hauled in the gallons of confiscated liquors.
 At one of the busiest station houses during the afternoon stood Asher, clean shaven and well dressed, an apparent neutral onlooker, calmly Identifying prisoners, not one of whom, to all outward appearances, recognized him whatever.
 Switch to Grind Organ.
 Their fingers worn by their un- practiced efforts on the violin and harp, Asher and Bauer, in their quest for evidence later switched to grind organ and monkey arrangement. Again they went into other sections as hucksters, the wagons making it more convenient to carry their ever increasing stock of evidence, while the cabbage and potatoes covered the whisky and wine most conveniently.
 In his new garb Asher went sev- eral times over the same route tray- eled recently in collecting evidence for the raids of a week ago. His disguise, however, was complete and in several instances he obtained evil dence from alleged bootleggers ar rested at that time.
 Asher, who came to Washington, was unknown among the underworld here until news of his connections with the gigantic series of raids last week. Since, police have been kept sidetracking agents of bootleggers attempting to "get line on Asher"
 Asher tells of many instances in his wanderings last week of the bootleggerss discussing in his pres renee this hell. cat Asher" Police pare guarding him closely and 1t Is Yti4eught he would be. sent to another section of the country.

 Get out of my yard!" Mrs. Elem ing commanded him.
 Stop your dog from barking" the negro replied.
 When Whitley began climbing tie steps she fired the first bullet into the air. The negro kept advancing, and the next bullet was sent through his heart.
 Mrs. Fleming was alone in the house when she was awakened from bed by the negro stu<bling along outside. Her screams Tor assistance attracted the attention of Mrs. Vicl., who ran around and gained entrance through the back door in time to be beside Mrs. Fleming as the ne- gro began mounting the steps. State ments of Mrs. Fleming to Chief Me- Duff, Officers Moser, Elledge, Will Hanson, Lee and McAdory, who in vestigated the case. were corroborat- cd by Mrs. Wick. Mrs. Fleming's hus- band, an employe at the Southern shops at Acipco, was at his work at the time of the shooting.
 The body of the negro was car ried into town by Davenport and Harris, where it was identified. Coro- ner Russum stated Saturday night that he would return a verdict of "justlfiable homicide" on the case Monday.
