BAILEY’S VIEWS|AT THE WHITE HOUSE Investigation of Civil Service Methods | An Army of Workmen Preparing for Resumed. THE ASSISTANT EXAMINER TESTIFIES | REGULATIONS FOR Favors Exemption of Deputy Mar- shals and Collectors RECLASSIFICATION URGED The investigation into the methods of the civil service was continued this morn- ing by the Senate committee on civil serv- ice and retrenchment. Members of the committee present were Senator Pritchard, chatrman: Senator Harris of Kansas and Senator Chilton of Texas. There were also present Commissioner Procter, Chief Ex- aminer A. R. Serven, Assistant Examiner Bailey and Law Clerk George R. Wales of the civil service commission and ex- Representative Henry M. Baker, president of the Republican National Anti-Civil Service League. Mr. Serven again went upon the stand to testify regarding matters of record in his office. This consumed but a few min- utes, and Mr. E. D. Bailey, assistant ex- aminer and chief cierk of the chief exam- iner’s division of the civil service commis- sion, went upon the stand. Mr. Pritchard asked the witness what steps were taken oy the commission to prepare for handling the increased busi- ness brought about by President Cleve- land's order of May 6, 1896, classifying a large portion of the public service. The witness said the commission had in- terviewed heads of departments and bu- reaus to get general information, but no eligible lists for the places to be included in the classified service had been prepared before May 6. Over 31,000 employes of the government were covered into the classified service by the President's order of May 6. Previous to that the greatest number of government employes included in the classified service by one executive order was by President Harrison, whose order affected 7.66 employes; next to that there was the order of President Cleve- land, covering 7,04”) places. Mr. Bailey said the Inclusion of so many places in the classified service without preparation for them had thrown a great deal of work on the commission for which it was hardly prepared. Mr. Batley's Suggestions. Mr. Baitey was esked if he had any sug- gestions to make for the improvement of the methods of the civil service commis- sicn. He favored allowing applicants to re- new their period of eligibility beyond one year by filing additional papers. Mr. Bal- ley thought there should be a reclassifica- tion of the public service according to the kind of work done by various employe! At present, he said, classifications are bas- ed upon salaries, and do not indicate the kind of work the varrious employes do. The present classification, he said, does not aid in arranging examinations. He also thought the work of the commission could be very much facilitated if the appiication papers of applicants were made a part of their examination. If this were done a great many applicants for clerical positions especially could be excluded from examina- ticn, as their papers would indicate their unfitness for a clerical position. Now no weight is given application papers in the examination. In regard to the transfer of employes from one department to another, Mr. Bai- ley said he had not been able to reconcile all actions of the commission under the transfer rules. Some discussion was called up regarding the transfer of Mr. Albert Baker, formerly private secretary to Public Printer Bene- dict, from the government printing office to the Treasury Department, and then by detail to the civil service commission. Mr. Bailey said according to the interpretation he nad placed on the rules no transfer could be made from the government print- ing office to any other department except trom a mechanical position to a mechanical position. ; Mr. Bailey thought that by simplifying the work of the commission 1t might be possible for it to do its work efficiently with its present force of employes, and without d-tafls from departments. The witness thought the engineer service of the government, the custodian service, examining surgeons of the pension office, d-puty collectors in the internal revenue and deputy marshals could with advantage be excluded from the classified ser the present time. He wished it understood that he bellev2d the commission was able to handle the work of supplying efficient employes for every branch of the public service, but he thought there were r-asons which would make it desirable, at least for the present, to have the places he refzrred to excepted from the classified service. An Alleged Violation of Law. Senator Pritchard asked Mr. Bailey if fifte-n examiners of steel had not been ap- pointed in the Navy Department in De- cember, 183, after the employes of that department had been placed in the classi- fied service, and that these examiners had been appointed without the intervention of - commission. “Yes, sir. ni “Was not that a vio- lation of the civil service law?” Mr. Bailey—“I so regarded it.”” The status of the employes of the United States navy yards was commented upon. Bailey said they were technically clas- bui practically were not classified. id the commission “inherited” the governing navy yard employes. The rules relating to such employes as. in force prior to May 6, 1896, were re 4 and the commission did not exercis supervision over those employes that that it had exercised over the departmental service. Senator Pritchard—“Practically this de- partment is not classified, as I understand you, and at the same time its employe: wansferred to other departments | where there is a classification.” Mr. Bailey—“I hold the employes of the department are classified, and I have en- ored to explain that the commission has not assumed such direct supervision of the work of examining and certifying em- f the navy y: be con- committee adjourned until ning at 10 o'clock, when Mr. will conclude his testimony. Upon request ©: Mr. Proctor Senator Pritchard ordered that Col. MeKenzie and Major Raymond of the United States corps of engineers ssistant Secretary Roosevelt of the 1vy Department be requested to give tes- tmony before the committee. : Friday Bailey G96 CS @ ea 0g Company’s Extract of Beef is the essence of all that is best in beef.

RHODE ISLAND OFFICES An army of workmen was engaged at the White House today putting everything in readiness for the big reception tonight, the first one under the new administration. In the east ro6m twenty florists were busy festooning and banking every approprtate place with flowers and plants. The room will be a paradise of beauty. It is said that such a ouantity of plants and flowers has never been placed in that room before. All the other rooms will undergo the same decoration. Another force of workmen was engaged placing rows of cloak and hat boxes in the vestibule just in front of the main entrance to the White House. This is a change from former years. There will be over a thousand of these boxes. In anticipation cf a rainy night rows of umbrella stands are being put in. There 1s a change in the movement of the guests into and out of the building, as the following statement will show: “During the reception at the Executive Mansion this evening carriages will ap- proach from the northwest, enter by the northwest gate and leave by the northeast gate. Pedestrians will follow the same route. Guests will not be admitted to the grounds until 9 o’clock, excepting the dip- lomatic corps, the members of which will enter by the southwest gate at 7 “Two carriages only will be permitted to drive under the north portico at the same time. Coachmen will be provided with numbered tickets, which must be pre- served by them in order to regain admit- tance to the grounds. Guests will also be provided with tickets of the same number as their carriages. These should be care- fully preserved in order to call their car- riages. ‘It will prevent confusion and delay it invited guests who are not well known to the doorkeepers are prepared to show their cards. Entrance will be by the main front door; departure over the bridge east of the north portico. “After leaving cloaks in the main vesti- bule guests are requested to pass through the private dining room into the state dining room as far as possible. Owing to lack of space it has been impossible to provide separate dressing rooms for la- dics. Their wraps should be left with those of their escorts in the main vesti- bule.” A Long Talk With Gen. Wheeler. So many statesmen went to the White Hcuse today not half of them could be handled by the President. Many went away rather than undergo a long wait in the rooms adjoining that of the President. Representatives Bankhead, Underwood ard Plowman of Alabama, saw the Pre: dent to secure a change in the position of @ young man in the army. Some time later the President had a long talk with Repre- sentative Whecler of Alabama. The Presi- dent has always admired tne mous old confederate cavalry leader, and the latt: has returned ihe admiration. “McKinley never had an enemy in the House,” says Gen. Wheeler. The two men served togeth- er for years in that body and the personal attachment between them is strong. The President forgot the surging for cffices to talk over “old days” in the House. He re- members those days with pleasure. Anvther demcecrat the President admires is ex-Senator Blackburn of Kentucky. They also served in the House together. The President likes Blackburn because he is frank and open, and an enemy knows where he stands and where he will strike. District Attorney for North Carolina. Representative Skinner, populist, of North Carolina, has succeeded in landing his can- diGate for district attorney of the eastern district of his state. He saw the President this morning and the result is that C. M. Bernard will secure the position. He has been Mr. Skinner's candidate. Senators Aldrich and Wetmore and Rep- resentatives Bull and Capron of Rhode Isl- and had a conference with the President about offices in that state which have been agreed upon by the delegation. Senator Thurston and General Cowin of Nebraska were with the President a shcrt time. General Cowin is held in high esteem at the White House. He has been offered a number of positions since President Mc- Kinley came in, but has declined each time. He could have been assistant secre- tary of war, but declined to come to Wash- ington. Mr. Liemer, the artist who is at work on a clay model of President McKinley, uopes to have his work completed in about ten days. A few more sittings of the President will be necessary. The President has been too busy to sit as often as the artist de- sired, and that has delayed the work. From the clay model a plaster of paris cast will be made. From this cast will come the bronze busts. The busts will probably be made in Philadelphia, and a number will be turned out. + @ ART OF SEEKING OFFICE. It Has Been Highly Developed by Candidates From Texas. The art of oftice seeking by Texas appli- cants frequently commented upon by politicians from other states. A large num- ber of the Texas patriots in the city seck- ing positions are provided with cards on which are printed their services to their party. Sometimes these cards contain the photographs of the owners. A prominent applicant for the post office at Austin, Tex., gives out a card with his name on one side and the following printed matter on other: “Attended nearly all the republican s' conventions ‘n Texas for the past twenty years. “Six years county treasurer at Austin, Tex., the capital county. Elected over democratic nominees each time. “Nomince on the republican state ticket for commissioner of the general land office in 1804, and lead my ticket with the highest vote. “Alternate delegate state-at-large to the national convention in 1896. “Member of the state literary and news- Paper bureau, and speaker through the Mc- Kinley campaign. “Edited the Southern Republican newspa- per, a McKinley organ, up to the time of his nomination.” The sume man has another card, which contains his photograph on one side and an advertisement of his newspaper on the other. It says the paper “is devoted to the upbuiléing of the republican party.

W. P. Anderson of the Union Stock Yards and Transit Company, who represented the Denver Stock Growers’ Association at the annual meeting of stock growers at St. Paul and secured the appointment of a large delegation to this meeting from that city, will be present. He reported to the committee that large delegations will be in Denver next week from Chicago, St. Paul, St. Louis and Kansas City. A vote of thanks was extended Mr. Anderson for the good work he had done, (BERTIE MUDD FREE Opinion Rendered by Jtistice Bradley, Presiding in Criminal Court. NOT LAWFULLY IN CUSTODY OF BOARD Children’s Guardians Committed Her to House of Good Shepherd. OF HABEAS CORPUS WRIT Judge Bradley today in Criminal Court No. 2 made a ruling of considerable im- portance, affecting the commitment of childr2n to the custody of the board ot children’s guardians. The ruling was made in connection with the case of Bertie Mudd. The latter, who was taken into court on writ of habeas corpus, was dischargea from custody by Judge Bradley, after hay- ing been an inmate, against h2r will, of the House of the Good Shepherd for more than three years past. Upon the delivery of his opinion Bertie left the court room, appar- ently well pleased. Arguments in the case, as reported in The Star, were made Saturday last, the court taking the matter under advisement until today. It was explained that Bertie committed to the care of the board by one of the judges of the Police Court the Lith of December, 1895, being at that time fif- teen y2ars of age. The reason for her com- mitment was “evil surroundings.” The girl reached her eighteenth birthday the 10th instant, has never been charged with any offense, and is capabl2 of caring for herself, it was argued. It was never in- tended, it was further set forth, that the board should retain the custody of the girl after she reached matur2 age. Attorney J. H. Smith, who represented Bertie, em- phasized the fact that the latter was de- prived of her liberty b>cause of no offense committed by her. The Board's Contention. The board of guardians, through As- sistant District Attorney Baker, contended that Bertie was properly committed to the care of the board, and, it was argued, as there is no law in force in the District of Columbia that fixes the majority of a female at eighteen years, the board should retaim@the custody of the girl until she at- tains the age of twenty-one years. In deciding the matter Judge Bradley remarked that Bertle, during the period she has been detained at the House of the Good Shepherd, has not been permitted to go outside the walls of the building, except to go into the yard, for exercise, inclosed by a high wall. Her parents and members of the family were permitted to see and speak with her only in the presence and hearing of some one connected with the institution. Unless the board of guardians could show proper authority of law for its action, Juige Bradley stated, that condition of things ought not to be permitted to con- tinue. The board of guardians was created for a humane purpose and a: very beneficent work, Judge Bradley went on,jo say. It was intended that it ould protect chil- dren committed to its re, see t they are kept from evil assocfatios and are ded with homes. board undoubtedly does a good the court said, “but that is not the We arg cuiled upon to whether or not the detention of girl by the board is lawful. Infer- entially she should be detained if she was lawfully committed until she reaches the age of twenty-one years, as the board has the authority to apprentice during mi nority children committed, to its custody.’ Continuing, Judge Bradigy said that the Humane Society is an organization c- tuated entirely by humane and charitaole motives and is supposed to look after the interests of poor, abandoned, destitute and cruelly treated children. ‘The board of guardians looks after children who need protection and have been committed to its custody. Judge Bradley's Ruling. Judge Bradley then announced a ruling that, unless reversed, will necessitate a most pronounced change in the custom that has beer followed in taking children before the Police Court for the purpose ot securing commitment to the custody of the board of guardia “There 1s no provision under the law for the board of guardians to zrrest violaters aws relating to children,” said the pears to me to be clearly contemplated that such steps as are nec essary to bring ‘to justice violaters of the laws referred to, and to take into court children in need’ of protection, should be through the medium of arrest by officers of the Humane Society. “The United States attorney,” continued Judge Bradley, “has no authority what- ever to cause the Police Court to be Inform- ed by information that any child comes within the province of the law when the protection of the child is concerned. ‘There does appear a way, and only one , of bringing these cases before the Police Court, and that is by the officers of the Humane Society. I do not mean to say that the Police Court cannot commit to the board after the child has been taken into court under different proceeding: “In my opinion it is unlawful to institute the such proceedings as this through United States attorney, and thereby hi the children taken into court as criminal. Judge Bradley also stated. “The humane way is through the medium of the Humane officers. No Order of Commitment. “In this case no order of commitment was ever made,” Judge Bradley said fur- ther. “There was merely a memorandum entry, ‘Turned over to poor children’s guar- diars,’ on the Police Court record. What ‘turned over’ may mean is left to the im- agination. It is of the utmost importance that there should be, in these ¢ 2is- tinct, definite order by the Police Court committing tae child and stating the re sons, age and the period of the commit- ment. ‘There are other questions of im- portance involved in connection with this matter that may come up for considera- tion at some future time, but it is not nec- ary for me to go into them now.” n conclusion, Judge Bradley remarked that it might be better for her own inter- 8 that Bertie remain at the House of the od Shepherd, but the court said he would not touch on that question. > About Prominent Men, The Evening Star Almanac for 1898 con- tains an interesting account of the lives of prominent men of the year; 450 pages.
