WASHINGTON, May 12.—Attorne al Olney has rendered a remarks opinion in the case of a prosecution at tempted to be brought by the Civil-ser- vice Commission for violation of section 12 of the Clvil-Service law, relating to po liteal assessments, the foree of Mr, Ol View being to nullify absolutely the vision forbidding the solicitation of 8 from office-holders Hon of the law referred to reads as follows rson shall, in any room or build Ing oecupled in the discharge of offic duties by any officer or employee of the United States, solleit’ In any manner whatever or receive any contribution of money or other thing of value for any political purpose whatever.” Under this statute the Commisst 1 to the Attorney-General Olney a ease teal aaves Civil-Service attention of € pollt ment alleged to have occurred in the Post-Oifice at ‘To!
