HOTEL THEF COT $000 N ENE ‘Apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, at the Seymour, En- tered While They Were at Dinner—Lot of Gems Taken. On suspicion of having been concerned in the theft of jewels to the value of $3,000 from the Hotel Seymour, Nos. 44 to §» West Forty-fifth street, three em- ployees of the hotel were acraigned In the Yorkville Court to-day, One of them, Harry Montgomery, was dts- charged at the request of the police, who admitted they had made a mistake in his arrest. The others, Norman H. Powell and Alice Howard, were romand- ed at the request of the police, although there was litle more than suspicion to Justify their arrest, The jewels belonged to Mr. and Mra, JH. who live at the hotel. Mr, Taylor 1s a Wall street broker. The theft occurred on the even- Ing of June 10. On that date Mr. and Mrs. Taylor locked their room and went to dinner, When they returned at $ o'clock they found the room had been entered by a pass-key and the jewels stolen, ‘he stolen property consisted of several pins, uncut stones, watches and rings, The theft was reported to the police and the hotel authorities, It was learned by the pol that Mont. gomery and Powell both had pass keys. h was placed on the two men and thelr movements on the night in question traced, Nothing was learned that In any way reflected on Montgom- ery.

On visiting the apartments the police say they found several pieces of sliver- ware belonging to the Seymour. Whether they were found in the rooms of Miss Howard or that occupied by Powell was not stated, but It was con- sidered sufficient to cause thelr arrest un suspicion of having been concerned in the Taylor robbéry, Jn court the Howard girl and Powell both dened any knowledge of the theft from the apartments and said as to the presence of the few trifles belonging to the hotel that that could be easily ex- plained at the proper time. ‘Thus far hcne of the Taylor Jewels has been recovered, BULGARIANS IN PANIC FLEE FROM TURKS.

WASHINGTON, June 13.—Chairman Procter of the Civil Service Commission to-day submitted to Postmaster-General Payne the report made by the Commis- sion, at the request of the Postmaster- General, with reference to the charg of violation ‘of civil service regulations In the Washington Post-Office. The in- aulry qovercd the following points: (D) Whether ali of the employees out- side the force of carriers were regularly in the service “and entitled to their po- sitions. (2) Whether the civil service rules had been observed in the employment ‘and assignment of laborers, (3) Whether there had been a general observance of the Civil Service law and rules in the administration of the Wash- lngton Post-Office during the incum- dency of the present postmaster. In addition to the report proper and a transeilpt of the testimony taken, Mr. Procter presented a summary of the findings. This summuary concludes as follows: “A departure from the observance of the Civil Service rules eppears in the promotions of certain employees in the Washington Post-Office, whian have been directed by the department, ai- though reports of efficiency are neither requested nor received by the depart- ment, The information disclosed by the in- vestigation seems to warrant the state Ment that appo.atments to classifled po- sitions in the Washington Post-Office Without examination, by the devious method of appointment in small un- classified offices, or in offices about to de consolidated, and subsequent trans- fer, and the appointment of those labor- ers who were appointed and separated during the administration of the present Postmaster, show a wide departute in policy from a strict regard for the pub- lic interest. and afford indications that the department used the Washington Post-Otfice for political and pérsonal purposes to an extent wilon left the aus thority of the Postmaster in. transfers and appointments of this sort but little more than nominal, and placed the of- fices In many respects In the relation of @ bureau w the department. “The Investigation geems to. gho: clearly that most of the itregulatiies herein set forth were directed by the department. or requested or suggested by ‘high dapartment officials and in elther’ case came to the Postmaster with all the fore of a direction, “The Investigutto.

The Investigations made by. the Commission show that many of the persons who entered the service by transfer had falled upon competitive examination, were from es which were in excess of the ap- riionment or had not passed with aut- fiotently high grades to be reached for api by the regular methods,"’ estigation was made in re- Spense to the Milowing ietter, dated May 4, from. th ostmaster-General tu the ‘Commission “T should be if you would have one of y <aminers detailed to make an investi; of the Was! ington City Post-Office, with a view of certaining whether or not the Clyll- law and regulations have been and are being complied with in the ad- ministration of that office, Mr, Proctor was in conference with Postmaster-General Payne for an hour jay regarding the report. Later, Mr. Proctor, !n a verbal statement to newspaper men, said that In all his ex- perience with ‘the Post-Office he had had less trouble since Mr. Payne's in- cumbency than at any other time. + COTTON PRICES GO ON CLIMBING New Crop Options in Favor with The Traders in a Lively Ses- sion on the Exchange.

There was no cessation of interest in market, the tone holding good and prices being still up in the closing dealings. The Liverpool cotton market again re- ported great firmness, with prices 10 to 16 points higher, whereas a slight de- gilae had been expected. Not only were the cables favorable to prices, but the weather in the belt was unsettled, and these factors, with the decreasing mov: ment and the admitted presence in the market of a powerful long interest, caused the bears no little anxiety, The new crop months reached new high records uader active bull support and coverin, The closing prices were: June, 12.18} 11.83; “September, July, 12.28; August, 104k; November, 10.07, and 11; Octovel January, 9.90.
