JUNE 13, THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C FRIDAY, JUNE 131890, THE CIVIL SERVICE INQUIRY, THE POLICE |_ INVESTIGATION. The House Committee Ready to Report | Commissioner Robert Talks With Vari- on its Investigation. MESSRS ROOSEVELT AXD THOMPSON'S OFFICIAL COURSE SUSTAINED—MR. LYMAN CENSURED FOR LAXITY OF DISCIPLINE—THE REPORT SIGNED BY ALL EXCEPT MESSRS, STOXY AND ALDERSON. The civil service committee of the House have vindicated Commissioners Roosevelt and Thompson, The committee have not only vindicated them, but bestowed upon them the highest praise for them. THEY RESERVE THEIR RIGHT, Messrs. Stone and Alderson of the committee reserved the right to oppose the whole civil service reform idea, The rest of the members of the committee approve the report without qualification, It is a very exhaustive report, going into the whole case very minutely, THE SHIDY AND CAMPBELL CASES. Dealing with the Shidy matter they take up the testimony on both sides and conclude that for Messrs. Thompson and Roosevelt to have acted differently from what they did would have been improper, ‘Their conduct was ex- actly proper. As tothe Campbell case, there conld no possible blame fall upon Messrs, Roosevelt and Thompson, the report says: They did all or more than could be required of them to clear up the matter. Mr. Lyman, however, does not fare so well, ‘The report says that his administration of the office appears to have been lax, and they cen- sure him for his course of conduct in the affair of Campbell, his brother-in-law, THE COMMITTEE'S CONCLUSIONS, In concluding their report the committee say: ‘With regard to the conduct of the civil ser- vice commissioners in the matters submitted to your committee, we find, first, that Com- missioners Roosevelt and Thompson have discharged their duties. = with —en- tire fidelity and integrity; second, that the official conduct of Com: loner Lyman has been characterized by laxity of discipline in the administration of the affairs of the com- mission, and is therefore censurable. Your committee will proceed at once to investigate the workings of the system and present a subsequent report when said investi- gation shall have been completed, together with a report of their conclusion,” SOME DETAILS OF THE REPORT. After reciting the charges against Mr. Camp- bell the committee sa: ‘Mr. Oberly, Mr. Lyman and Mr. Doyle severally investigated to a greater or less extent the charges preferred against Campbell, found him guilty of a breach of discipline and he was repri- manded. But these gentlemen, as it appears from the testimony failed to ascertain defi- nitely whether the questions copied by Camp- bell and given Mrs. Smith were obsolete or not. ‘They gave it as their belief, however, that the questions were obsolete, It occurred that they directed their inquiry to as- certaining whether the copy on the questions was inthe handwriting of Campbell—an in- quiry that was of little consequence if the questions were in fact obsolete, The real of- fense consisted in copying and giving out questions that could be used in the examina- tion to take place thereafter, and not in copying questions that were obsolete and hence worthless to Mrs. Smith to use or sell, And it is not probable that Mr.Campbell copied ques- tions and answers merely to give Mrs. Smith an idea of the character of the examination, since if that was so it would have been quite enongh to have copied the questions oniy. The omission to ascertain whether the questions were for use or to be used at any ensuing examination was a palpable ne- glect of duty, since the fact not inquired about was obviously the one controling fact essential in determining the degree of Campbell's eulpa- bility. It is clear to your committee that Campbell copied the questions and that they were not obsolete. Aa investigation properly conducted would have disclosed the fact. If the administration of the civil service was not to fall in disrepute Mr. Campbell should have been dismissed. His retention indicated grass laxity of disci- pline, and showed that the administration of the commission was not such at that time as to receive or merit public confidence. Your committee cannot accept as satisfactory the answer of Messrs, Oberly, Lyman and Doyle; that they believed the questions Camp- bell copied were obsolete, The facts dis- closed to yourcommittee convince them that the omission to obtain the truth was as repre- hensible as to have disregarded it after it had been ascertained, and is little less culp- able, and whether they failed through differ- ences or partiality to learn the facts, or, know- ing them, failed to take such action as the public service obviously demanded, is not a matter of great consequence—the neglect of duty in either case is condemned, THOMPSON, ROOSEVELT AND CAMPRELL. “Ithas been suggested that Commissioners Roosevelt and Thompson are deserving of censure for not taking action in the Campbell case. Your committee does not share this view. On the contrary, there is nothing in their conduct to challenge criticism, When their attention was called to the matter by the newspaper —_reports, they called the_— parties. —_ concerned before them, separately and without oppor- tunity of their conferring with one another, and there was # concurrence of statements that the matter had been fully investigated and Mr, Campbell punished, and it being as to them res adjudicata they did not take fur- ther action in the matter, and in that we think they were thoroughly justified. THE SHIDY CASE. In connection with the Shidy case the com- mittee, after reciting the facts, states that the conduct of the commissioners in securing Shidy’s appointment to the Census Office after his dismissal from the Milwaukee post office was not an exceptional course, nor did it tend to demoralize the service. ‘It would have been ground for criticism if instead of keeping faith with the witness they had permitted those who had concealed the truth and assisted in the frauds to escape and retain their posi- tions, and had suffered Shidy, who had been instrumental in exposing the fraud and in bringing the trath to light, to be pun- ished for so doing. The commissioners insist that the man who told the truth and as- sisted the government in unearthing a fraud and in vindicating the law should at least fare as well as those who did the reverse, For that reason they recommended the appointment of Shidy, Your committee is unable to find any- thing to criticise in that. DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. RECTIFYING A DEED, Senator Morrill yesterday afternoon intro- duced a bill providing for the approval of a deed made by the Commissioners of the Dis- trict to John E, Herrell.

Other members of the force were inter: viewed by the Commissioner and the case of Sergeants Connolly and Duvall and Private Moreland, who were recently dismissed, was discussed and the Commissioners promised a hearing at 1 o'clock Monday. Comuoissioner Roberts assured friends of the dismissed men that if they had been wronged their cases would be reheard and the wrongs would be set right. Mr. W. P. Wood today had affidavits pre- pared to meet those filed: by Block. CONGRESSIONAL WORK SHOPS. The Tariff Bill to be Ready for Submis- sion to the Senate Monday.

A Stubborn Fight Expected—The Tariff and the Farmers’ Alliance. The minds of Congressmen are occupied largely at present with the consideration of the question of renomination. There is u very ac- tive convention campaign going on in all the states, and when all the nominations are made there will open a Congressional campaign, which will probably be one of the hottest we have had for many years, The republican Con- grassional committee has started out wit internal fight, which is still unsettled. and has turned a good politician off the committee, besides provoking considerable bad blood. THE TARIFF, There is a very general confidence on the part of the democrats anda fear entertained by the republicans that the uext House is going to have a democratic majority. The fall campaign wiil be a struggle for the condemna- tion or the endorsement of the McKinley tariff bill, and the fight will be as stubborn as it is possible to make a fight, THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE. ‘The democrats in the south aro annoyed by the Farmers’ Alliance, but this is a personal matter, largely. for if alliance men are elected they will be democrats in the organization of the House. MISSOURI'S DELEGATION, Gen. Clark, ex-clerk of the House and one of the best-informed democrats on Missouri poli- tics, said today toa Sran reporter that it looked now asif the democrats would have a solid delegation from Missouri in the next House. It was bya clever scheme, through which three Missouri Congresgpen were captured, that the republicans got Fontrol of this House, and the democrats will devote some attention to that state this time. THE INDIANA CONGRESSM Mr. Bynum said to a Sran reporter today that he thought the Indiana delegation in the next House would stand about as it now is. Mr. O'Neill declined renomination and his successor has been nominated, Brown and Cooper have been renominated, and the rest, Mr. Bynum thinks, are sure of their districts, KENTUCKY'S DELEGATION. Mr. Caruth of Kentucky said today that the nomination of Mr. Dickerson to succeed Mr. Carlisle meant that there would be a fight again when it came to make the reguiar n nation m that district for the ne: Mr. Dickerson, he Mr. Caruth thinks tl good man, at the democrats will gain one Congressman from Kentucky this fall, and though he and Montgomery and Ellis have a hard fight for renomination, he thinks the present delegation will all come ‘back again. THE MICHIG. Mr, Allen (Mich.) says ‘tat he does not think there will be much change in the Michigan delegation as a result of the con- ventions and elections this fall. The repub- licans. he says. are sure to hold their present strength. “The last campaign.” he said, “was fought on the tariff issue. The republican party is keeping the pledges made in the Chicago platform, which wasapproved by the people of our state, and there is every reason to believe they will stand by the purty this fall, “The House,” he added, “is making a won- derful record for following the pledges of the party platform, I do not believe any party ever before lived up to its platform pledges as well as the republicans of the House have this session, We were pledged to pass a protective tariff bill. We have done it. We were pledged to pass a silver bill. We have passed it. We were pledged to pass a federal election law, We have adopted a plan in caucus and a bill will be passed to meet the requirements of the case.” North Carolina’s Black” District. Ex-Corgressman F, M. Simmons of the sec- ond, commonly called the black district of North Carolina, now represented in the House of Representatives by Mr. Cheatham, colored, is atthe Metropolitan, Mr. Simmons expects the democratic nomination for Congress and says he has a fair show of an election over Mr. Cheatham. Four years ago Mr, Simmons was elected over two candidates placed forward by the republican party, both of whom were col- ored. There is much disagreement among the colored republicans in the second district and Mr. Cheatham will not have a walk-over, It is thought three candidates v will ill be | in the field.
