that the Mexican authorities had giver
assurances that every effort would

every effort would be made to track
ooWn the murderers. The communi-
cation has been sent to the London

The action taken by Mr.. Schoen-
field was more or less a routine re-
qutrement in such cases, and the
British Government is expected to
formulate and transmit to Washing

State Department officials were un-
willing to comment upon the case or
TO discuss the dispute between the
Mexican Government and Mrs. Evans.
Aside from the necessary steps to
see that adequate protection is given
TO the property involved and that the
Mexican Government makes a sincere
effort TO bring the murderers TO book,
the Washington Government presum-
ably will be limited to carrying out
the wishes of the London Government

Civil Service Reform League
Asks President to Halt
Practice.

President Coolidge has been asked
by the National Civil Service Reform
League to bring about the termina-
ton of any practice of making po-
litical selections in the appointment
Of postmasters and letter carriers.
This request was made formally in a
letter received at the White House
today ir which it was charged that
the Post Office Department has dis
missed Democratic employees in order
to make places for Republican work
ers.
The letter is signed by William
Dudley Foulke (Indiana). president,
and H W. Marsh (New York;, secre-
tary. of the Civil Service League. 1t
asks specifically that the Postmaster
General be required to refrain from
soliciting or acting upon political
recommendations lin regard to ap-
poir tments. which, according to law,
have been removed from all political
manipulation" and that the Presi-
dent order the appointment, in the
case of fourth-class postmasters and
rural carriers at least, of the candi-
date standing highest in the Civil
Service Commissions examinations
Approves G. o. p. Platform.
Fourth class postmasters and rural
carriers are in the classified civil
Service and the competitive examina
tion method has been applied to pres
idential postma aSters by executive
order The Civil Service Reform
Leagues letter expresses approval of
that part of the Republican plat
form which urges the classification
of poStmaSterS in first, second and
third d-class post offices by law.
May we not point out, however" it
continues. that with respect to the ap-
pointments of postmasters of all classes
and rural carriers the present system
present policy of the Post Office Depart
ment of selecting these postal employees
continues? We find that the Post Office
Department still makes political Selec-
tionS in the appointments. not only of
presidential poStmaSters, but also of
fourth class postmaSterS and rural free
delivery carriers, which places are now
in the classified civil service. The De-
partment consults with Republican Con-
gressmen and it follows their recon-
mendationS in violation of Section 10
of the civil service act (Which forbids
consideration of such recommendations
by appointing authorities). In order to
make plaeS for Republican workers,
Democrats are dismissed upon charges
often trivial and sometimes false, and
even where they are true and sufficient

things are left unmoleSted.
