dent at the diplomatic reception to
night, the first of the midwiuter aocial
functions.

Rpell at Pass Christian, Miss., was a
return to work a-plenty. His desk was
piled high with accumulated corre
spondence. for Secretary Tumulty has
permitted nothing but the most urgent
communications to be forwarded.
Before the Cabinet meeting the
President had a conference with Sec
retary McAdoo, at which It Is under
stood a rfcport of the progress of the

New York, Jan. IS.—With no new de
velopments of Important Influence on
the market, prices moved In a hesitat
ing way during: the morning. The
speculative favorites were inclined to
droop, despite vigorous bidding up of
specialties. Stocks were supplied at
intervals, but the general list showed
Inherent strength and losses were
small.
i Speculative cliques were active In
j various sections, und some of yester
day's leaders, including the oil, fertil
izer and local traction shares, were
again advanced. Engagements of $2,-
000,000 gold for export to France was
without effect on the stock market, us
it was believed the large accumula

considerable outgo without disturbing
the current easy money rates.

PLOT TO CRIPPLE
CIVIL SERVICE
[Continued From First Page]
at every opportunity. The proposal
is so entirely wrong that it could not
i possible receive approval of Congress
coming as a separate measure, and it
is proposed in this way to force It on
Congress and the Executive.
"There are more than 2,000 assist
ant postmasters, practically all of
whom have been in the classified ser
vice by actual civil service examina
tion. It is proposed to take these
tried and faithful public servants out
of the classified list and make their
tenure of office dependent upon the
whim of men appointed under the
spoils system as a reward for party
service.
"In most cases this would be equiva
lent to dismissal from office without
cause, but the injustice of the proposal
as effecting these men is not the chief
objection to it. It is a backward step
and injurious in Its effect not only on
the postal service but the cause of
good government. It is another step
in the direction of the spoils system."
Last year's appropriation was S2B 3,-
444,717. This year Postmaster-Gen
eral Burleson recommended an appro
priation of $306,953,767. The great
est item is that of transportation,
which is $55,188,000, against $51,500,-
000 last year. The pay for letter car
riers is $37,700,000, an Increase of
$2,340,00. There are also big Increases
in the appropriations for carrying for
eign mails, which item is $4,000,000;
for pay and expenses of rural carriers,
which Items is $48,650,000, and for
the pay of post office clerks and other
employes.
Postmaster-General Burleson's rec
ommendation that 550,000 be appro
priated for experimentation with aero
planes as fast mail carriers was
unanimously voted out of the bill by
the committee.
Tlie bill will come up for considera
tion on Thursday.
