gamated Commission

Merger of the functions of the
Bureau of Efficiency Personnel
Classification Board and the Civil
Service Commission in one bu-
reau controlled by the United
States Civil Service Commission
was urged by the National League
for Civil Service Reform in reso-
lutions adopted today at the forty
fourth annual convention at the
Hotel Washington.
Inefficient Method.
The resolution deplored the lin
efficient and uneconomical method"
of the Federal Government in hand
ling the personnel problem through
three separate and distinct agencies,
each having its own functions.
Other resolutions adopted favored
the enactment of legislation giving
statutory sanction to the new sys-
tenn under which the foreign serv-
ice operates, approved the express
sion in the message of President
Coolidge to Congress to include
postmasters and prohibition agents
in the civil service, urged enactment
OF laws to permit the President to
extend the civil service to positions
not now included in civil service,
and enactment Of laws establishing
the merit system in thirty-eight
states now having no civil. service
laws.
Robert Catherwood, of Chicago,
prominently identified with the
original Redistribution law, was
elected president, to succeed VII.
liam Dudley Foulke.
Franklin MacVeagh. of Washing
ton, was one of the vice presidents
elected. Members of the council Of
the league elected from Washington
are: Robert w. Belcher, John JOY

when the council of the league sub.
mitted it's report.
The Frazier bill designed to apply
the merit system of appointments to
postmasters of the first three
classes. is the first measure in
dorsed. The second is the Cramton
bill providing competitive examina-
tons for prohibition agents, who
were exempted by the Volstead act
from requirements of the civil serv.
Ice law. Another measure which
is to be pushed by the league is the
Lehlbach bill, abolishing the person.

RESTORED

Exonerated Of Charges by
Trial Board, He Will Draw
$500 Back Pay

Detective Guy Rome. restored to
duty by the District Commissioners
today. after five months suspen-
sion, was assigned to the Eleventh
precinct and placed in uniform.
Police officials made no attempt
to hide the fact that they were
dissatisfied with Rone's work in
the Sixth precinct where he served
as a plainclothes man and that
they desired that he be sent ''out
to the sticks"
Gets $500 Back Pay.
The Commissioners. in lifting the
suspension of Rome, made on June
80. last, when he was arrested on
charges of housekeeping, today
ordered the police department to
give Rome back pay amounting to
more than $500.
In the Eleventh precinct Rome
will be assigned to a beat and it
is unlikely that he will be placed
in charge Of any special investiga-
ton or again made plainclothes
man.
Rome has had a hectic time since
fellow officers arrested him last
June in the liquor filled cellar of
Gus Forsberg, of 49O7 Fourteenth
street northwest, in company with
police charge, a well.known boot
logger.
Rome was acquitted recently on
the housebreaking charge in the
District Supreme Court. Last Sat.

The trial board dismissed the
charges against him and the only
course left for the Police Depart.

REPORT
MADE
Sullivan Is Informed There
Was Nothing Unusual
in Case

The police department made no
effort to "cover up" the arrest
Saturday night of Congressman
John w. Langley of Kentucky on
q charge of drunkenness, Major
Daniel Sullivan, superintendent of
police, declared today.
The failure to place Congress
man Langley's name on the po-
lice blotter until 8 o'clock yes
terday morning, thirty-six hours
after the arrest, was due to an
oversight, Assistant Superinten-
dent Charles Evans, stated in a
special report today.
Nothing Unusual, He Says.
There is nothing unusual in the
handling of this case" Inspector
Evans reported to Sullivan, "as
cases of like character have been
disposed of by the writer IN The
same manner.
about l a. m. on the 18th in
slant, I was called by telephone at
my home by friend of Congressman
Langley Of Kentucky. who stated
that the Congressman. while intoXi-
Gated. had wandered into the House
of Detention, and had been ar
rested by Private Smith. of the
Fourth precinct, detailed at the
House of Detention, who sent the
Congressman to the First precinct,
where he was detained.
Inquired About Case.
81 made inquiry of Sergeant Car
lin, of the First precinct, whether
or not it was an ordinary case of
intoxication, and had him telephone
the House of Detention to see II
the Congressman had been disorder
~ in any way. He reported back
that it was a plain case of intoxica,
ton, and that no disorder had been
committed.
II then got in touch with Lieu
tenant Beckett, Of the First precinct,
who came into the station at that
time, and ordered him to accept
$10 collateral for the Congressman
If he was In condition to be released.
This was done.
'On the 18th instant. upon re.
guest of a friend of the Congress
man, I notified Private Smith, of
the House of Detention not to file
Information in the case until
Wednesday. the 18th instant, and
also notified the First precinct not
to send the $40 collateral to court
until that time"
The delay in the filing Of infor.
nation is understood to have been
asked to enable the Congressman
prepare his defense.
Purely Oversight.
Policeman Smith, who arrested
Langley, took the Congressman to
the First precinct, His name was
entered on the Outside book" be-
cause Smith is assigned to the
Fourth precinct. 1t is the police
departments policy to enter mans
name on the police blotter in the
precinct to which the arresting of.
fioer is assigned. Smith failed to
record Langley's name on the
Fourth precinct sblotter until yes
terday morning.
ut was purely oversight, and not
Intentional" Inspector Evans said
today. 1T was not even neglect
Of duty"
