Advertisement, POSTMASTERS MUST PASS EXAMINATION Burleson Announces Nasbys of First, Second and Third Class to Undergo Tests. POLITICAL PLAY CHARGED Washington, March 7. Postmaster General Burleson announced today, that after April 1, the appointment of all postmasters of the first, second and third class would be subject to com petitive examinations. Nominations will be sent to the senate as in the past, but in making selections the president will be guided by the re sults of examinations and will send in the names at the head of the lists. Whether the civil service commis sion, under which fourth class post masters are now named, will conduct the examinations, has not been deter mined. The president's forthcoming order will provide for a form of modified civil service classification under which all vacancies, whether caused by resig nation, removal or death, will be filled by competitive examination. Can Serve Out Tetmi. Those already in the service will continue without examination until the expiration of four years' term, be ginning with their last appointment, and will then, it is understood, have to undergo the competitive test. A hornet's nest was stirred up by the announcement at the capitoI, where scores of members were in their offices preparing to lea for home. The order was roundly de nounced because some of the demo cratic leaders and several members construed it as a move to get com bined democratic and republican sup port in a politically uncertain house. Democratic Leader Kitchin of the house delayed his departure for North Carolina to go to the Postoffice de partment to register his protest. Southern Member Talks. Other congressmen, who visited Mr. Burleson, went on the latter's invita tion, to discuss the new plan of sys tematizing postal accounting by es tablishing central auditing postoffices in county or district groups. This subject was overwhelmed, however, when the news of the civil service order was broken. One southern member asked if the postmaster general had called them there to ask their views or to tell them what had been done. "I am telling you what is going to happen," he replied. The postmaster general is quoted as having told them that it was too late to protest as the order had been determined upon and would be carried out He intimated that he was not the author of it, but that it was a measure of efficiency and economy. Blow to Democrats. Another member suggested that the order would put many republicans in office, as many of the more active as sistant postmasters are republicans re tained by the democratic postmasters and still another wanted to know what would happen if the one man certified from the examinations were a negro. The postmaster general, according to those present, replied the examination would have to take place and there wculd be "special privileges to no one." A western democrat asked why the order, if issued at all, should not pro vide for notifying the three highest in the examination as eleigible to postmasterships, as was done when the fourth class postmasters were blanketed into civil service. The post master general said congress had the opportunity of legislating to that ef fect, but did not do so. Some members complained that the order would take out of political life some of the most active supporters of the representatives in congress. A majority of the republicans joined with democrats recently in rejecting a proposition for putting all postmast ers under the civil service, when an amendment to that effect was offered to an appropriation bill in the house, although Republican Leader Mann ;.id a few others favored it. Goes to Jail Cell As Result of Trying "To Square Things" J. M. Aaldrup, merchant at Water town, S. D., is in the city jail, fol lowing his attempt to square things with E. A. Brennan of Friend, Neb., who was strongarmed and robbed of $20 in cash, a gold watch, valued at $jO and two travelers checks, each for $50, by two men with whom he was returning Tuesday morning from an exclusive roadhouse in North Omaha. All day Wednesday Brennan, in company with several detectives, trailed the men. When Brennan ar rived at the Paxton hotel for supper, he was handed a note signed by Aaldrup which said that he had re covered his valuables and money and would return it to him at 9 o'clock. Aaldrup showed up as promised and was immediately taken in custody by' Detectives Brinkman and Unger. He would not admit what his con nection was with the men, but police believe that he is trying to shield the woman in the case. Police have the names of the two men. Both, they say, have police records. 'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIL Common Sense and Careful Handling : are the stand-bys of our s z moving work.
