Adams today expressed surprise that a coroner’s jury had found State police responsible for the death of one of two persons killed in a skirmish between officers and sympathizers of striking coal miners at Walsenburg January 12. In placing responsibility for the slay- tng of Klementz Chavez on police, the jury yesterday held that firing growing out of the effort of authorities to break up a parade of more than 500 strike sympathizers, was “unprovoked.” The jurors declined to place respon- sibility for the death of Salestino Martinez, 16, a bystander. “All my reports from reliable sources on both sides showed there was never any doubt as to who fired the first shot in the rict.” a statement issued by Gov. Adams said. “There never did seem to be any dispute as to the blame for this affair and the verdict is certainly a surprise to me. Even Martinez exon- erated the police in.a report to me.” BYRD TO START TRIP SOUTH SEPTEMBER 10 Explorer Hopes to Be Back in U. 8. From South Pole Exploration by June, 1929. By the Amsociated Press.

A Civil Service examination cannot be set aside unless there is irregularity or fraud connected with it. No such charge is made against the prohibition examination.” Denies Lawmaker's Charge. At the same time the commission denied the charge of Representative Fish, Republican. of New Yark, that its examination for the Prohibition Bu- rean had violated the law giving pref- erence 1o veterans. ‘The commission will hold new exami- nations in districts for which the pres- ent examinations do not supply enough eligibles, and persons who failed in the | first examination will be given another | chance, Of the present 2,000 men on the pay roll of the bureau, 1500 “flunked” ran has been trying to get the exami- n;uon le1! aside on the )frounu that the questions were nat.guch as to bring certification of the hest men: for the places.

Flynn, attorney examiner for the com- mission. The report is based upon evidence taken by Mr. Flynn in a Na- tion-wide investigation. during which he heard more than 400 witnesses in thirteen of the largest cities of the country, including Washington. The recommendations are of special interest to residents of the National Capital, since practically all bus op- erations into and out of this city are considered interstate operations. Since the Supreme Court decided in 1925 that State commissions had no authority over interstate motor ve- hicles, except in the interest of safety or the preservation of public highway: motor busses and trucks have been op- erating practically unrestrained. Mr. Flynn, in a legal discussion of the question, holds that Congress has power under the commerce clause of the Constitution to delegate to State agencies authority to regulate such | common carriers, particularly when the right of appeal to some Federal author- ity 1s reserved. Held Important to Nation. “Transportation of passengers and property by motor vehicles operating over the pubiic highways is a well established, useful and permanent fac- tor In the Nation'’s transportation sys- tem,” declares Mr. Flynn. He points out that the railroads have suffered from competition with motor vehicles, but holds that “they have no more | economic right to any traffic than had | the canals and stage coaches which | once opposed the rallroads.™ Original furisdiction In the regula- tion of motor vehicles operating in interstate or foreign commerce as com- | mon carriers over the public high- | ways, Mr. Flynn believes. should be | vested in such State commissions as notify the Interstate Commerce Com- mission that they will act.
