Hulin already was dead.
Maddened but not destroyed by its
wound, the lion had to be poisoned

WOMAN VOTERS RENEW
SPOlLS SYSTEM FIGHT
Urge Convention to Present Merit
Plank to Major Party
Sessions.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, May 1.-The League
of Women Voters, in it's long standing
effort to throw out the spoils system
in government. informed yesterday the
chairmen of the two major parties
this is the time for the electorate to
speak and for the politicians to hear.
A committee working on future
plans in the drive to put all govern
ment employees on the merit system
urged the convention to present a
merit plank to the Democratic and
Republican national conventions.
Believing that the spoils system Is
the greatest threat to good govern
ment in the United States. the league
pledges itself to use the full force of
its organization in an unremitting
campaign against the spoils system
and to establish in its place the
merit principle" the league said in
letters sent to James A. Farley and
Henry P. Fletcher, Democratic and
Republican chairmen. respectively.
Last night the delegates heard
Carlos G. Davila, former president of
Chile, assert proposals for alliances

The deeper Congressman sink their
teeth into the Presidents so-called
economy program, the more tooth
some they find it to be.
A bill was pending in Congress to
provide s12,000,Oo0 worth of Federal
vocational education in the year be-
ginning July /. 1887. Mr.. Roosevelt
talked to Southern Senator, saying
this was too much. He asked If the
vocational educators would not be sat-
isfied with s6,000,o00 Backers of the
bill indicated they would accept.
Then Senate Floor Leader Robin.
son accompanied by the same
Southern Senator, made another
trip to the White House. Imme-
diately the vocational bill tUas
passed BY the Senate, providing for
$4,000, 900, presumably Uith Mr..
Rooseuelts approval.
An interesting angle is that, while
Mr.. Roosevelt is anxious not to dis
turb the present budget situation, he
did not stick to his guns as far as
1887 is concerned.
More Moley Rumors.
The old rumor that Ray Moley has
broken with the President is getting
a fresh run now. The magazine edi-
tors speech against the tax bill start
ed the deduction. His other objections
to recent New Deal trends encour-
aged it.
1t only helps to prove that obvious
deductions are frequently erroneous
as far as this administration is con-
cerned.
Those closest to Mr.. Roosevelt say
he talked with Moley in New York
last week after the tax criticism
appeared, that the President has in
vited the first and best Of the brain
trusters to go out on the boat for a
week end cruise two weeks hence.
What seems to have happened is
that Moley has decided to be a Jour-
nalist instead of politician, and that
Is okay with the President.

NOT GUILTY TO CHARGE
Accused of Offering Jobs in Re-

BUFFALO, N. Y, May Mayor
George J. Zimmerman pleaded not
guilty today to charges of making pre-
election promises of jobs in return
for support in the 1885 election.
The Mayor was arraigned on three
indictments charging violation of the
penal law. He was elected Demo-
cratic Mayor in 1888 over his Re-
publican opponent, Philip c. Schaefer.
Mayor Zimmerman surrendered to
District Attorney Walter c. Newcomb
shortly after the indictments we're
returned If convicted he faces re-
moval from Office and a maximum
prison sentence Of FIVE years. Bail
was set at $4,000.
The indictments came as result of
a meeting October 10. 1888, at which
Zimmerman, then a candidate, is al
legged to have promised former Mayor
Frank z. Schwab and four of his sup
porters municipal jobs in return for
their support in the election.
Schwab withdrew from the race

Also hardened authorities suspect that
such cases are often imagined for
publicity purposes.
Nevertheless, public utility-ists are
openly charging that their mail bears
evidence of tampering. One or two
Senators have asserted this session
that their Office files have been rifled.
Certain prominent politicians outside
Washington are telling their friends
that they do not consider their mail
safe. Some non-partisan suspects
have chosen to leave their office files
open. so that night visitors will have
easy access. and thus avoid damage to
the furniture.
Wire Tapping Talk.
Gossip about wire tapping is COM
mon table talk among those involved
directly or indirectly with Govern
ment business.
This strain of black suspicion has
run constantly through offlcial and
near Official life lately. although par
ticular instances seldom reach the
public eye.
Note-Icke's spy system is rated
second. only because MoroenthauS
has recently been more or less con-
solidated. Both are supposed to
surpdss that OF the Department OF
Justice in personal activity. il not
in numbers.
Weakness of Republican opposition
to the tax bill is the main topic Of
congressional cloak room discussion.
In the House it was sad. There were
many reasons: Lack Of leadership,
the failure to offer an alternative
and lack of knowledge about the bill
(Which lack of knowledge was shared
by most Democrats).
The Senate outlook is not much
better. Democrats are beginning to
realize that If the defects of the bill
are to be corrected, they must do it.
That probably will be done.
Suspicious observers suspect that
the Republicans are wise in letting
the bill go through as is. They be-
lieve the popular reaction will not
contribute to Mr.. Roosevelt's chances
in November.

become conscious because a cer-

Roosevelt to his Interior Secretary may
be subpoenaed in a court case. 1t
Seems that Ickes talked with Mr..

the municipal power loan policy and
later Mr.. Roosevelt wrote him a note.
Only a dozen or more employees in
Ickes' p. w. A. power division knew
about it.
The note itself was a deep depart
mental secret.
But tew days ago, the power
division received apparently cred
ible information that the contents
tUere known to parties involued in
suits against them.
The entire division has been upset
by suspicious that not all its em-
ployes are working solely for the Gov
ernment.
1t may seem serious when the sec
ond best protected department OF
the Government suffers such leak,
but it is only chapter in the spy
craze story of Washington. Few peo-
pie like to mention the subject be-
cause usually nothing can be proved.
