BEN SELLING. Portland's Leading Clothier for Over Half a Century MORRISON AT FOURTH T IS GOVEKX3IEXT OFFICIALS SAID TO HURT CIVIL SERVICE. Reform Leaders Seek to Check Ac tivities of Congressmen in At tack on Merit System. WASHINGTON. D. C. April 27. Operation of the government would bo clogged without a rational civil service law and a civil service com misson, but some of the present em ployes of the government "are so par tisan and so friendly to the last ad ministration that they do not want this administration to be a success." Assistant Postmaster-General Bartlett declared tonight before a mass meet ing of the National Civil Service Re form league. The meeting was called for the de clared purpose of "checking the ac tivities of members of congress and high government officials who seek the destruction of the merit system of the civil service." and was attended by leaders in civil service reform movements from various sections of the country. Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor; Moorfield Frey of Boston and Mr. Bartlett. who formerly was presi dent of the civil service commission, were the principal speakers. Mr. Bartlett declared that the presi dent has the legal right, "as he did in the case of the removal of depart ment heads of the bureau of engrav ing and printing, to remove offices and officers from civil service when he deems it for the public good." The president violated no law when he removed the bureau heads, he continued, "nor has he in any part of his administration violated a sin gle civil servict rule. "When the people vote a change in the administration," he added, "they mean a change in administration, not (simply a change in the president. An administration must embrace the high administrative officers. Anyone knows new blood brought into any great business Is helpful. The extreme civil service view would not permit a pres ident to bring to Washington any new blood." Ulysses S.

In accordance with the invitation prominently displayed on the safe in the office of W. Metzger & Co., gro cers, of Gresham. thieves did not blow open the 500-pound strong box. In stead, carefully following directions for working the combination, they escaped with $82.18 in cash, the re ceipts of the day before. Deputy Sheriffs Christofferson, Schirmer and Kendall responded to the call when the robbery was re ported yesterday and expressed the opinion that the crime was the work of the same band who recently blew open the safes in the offices of the Pantages theater and auto stage headquarters.. The officials believed the bold cracksmen were taking a. brief vacation from the city and oper ating in out-of-the-way places for safety's sake. No clews to the thieves were found except some newspaper clippings showing photographs of the down town safe robberies. Entrance was gained through a door in the rear of the bu'lding after midnight. WAR POLICY IS JUSTIFIED POSTAL TELEGRAPH IS DE CLARED VINDICATED. WOODMEN CAMPS VISITED Creature of Pliocene Period De clared New and Independent Sort of Anthropoid. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 27. The previous existence .on this con-ti-m-nt of a new genus and species of primajt. "much more closely resem bling the human type than it does any known species of ape," although distinct from either, is believed to have been established by the recent discovery of a small iooth in the faunal deposits of Nebraska, accord ing to a paper read at the concluding session here of the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. Henry F. Osborn of the American Museum of Natural History. 1 A number of authorities. Dr. Os rorn said, agreed with his deduction tl'at the discovery had established the existence in the pliocene period of new and independent type" or for the discovery, he said, belonged to Harold J. Cook, a geologist of Agate, Neb. "The animal is certainly a new genus of anthropoid." the epeaker said, "probably an animal which wan dered over here from Asia with the large South Asiatic element which hits recently been discovered in our fauna by Merriam. Gidley and others. It is intermediate in structure be tween the anthropoid ape and the human type. It is one of the greatest surprises in the history of America-n paleontology." Bend Honors Grant.

Dismissal of Snit by Government Taken by Company Officials as Complete Victory. NEW YORK, April 27. (Special.) The acti6n" of Attorney-General Daugherty ir dismissing the govern ment's suit against the Postal Tele graph & Cable company for $2,400,000, claimed as "excess earnings" during the period of wire control by the gov- . eminent, is regarded as a great vic tory for the telegraph company and a complete vindication of its policy during the war. This suit was instigated by Post master Burleson, and the statement of Mr. Daugherty, in which he expressed the opinion that "the government cannot successfully prosecute this suit in view of the facts and the law," is construed by officials of the Pos tal Telegraph as bearing out their contention that Mr. Burleson's atti tude Was arbitrary to a degree, ex tremely unfair and unwarranted by the facts in the case. It was explained today by an offi cial of the Postal Telegraph that the suit grew out of Mr. Burleson's re fusal to deal with that company on the same basis as he dealt with other communication companies, including the Western Union Telegraph com pany and the American Telephone & telegraph company. In other words, the Postal Telegraph company held this was rank discrimination. A bitter controversy developed and finally, a few Says before ex-Postmaster-General Burleson left office, he instituted a suit by the legal de partment of the postoffice against the Mackay companies. It is this suit which Attorney-General Daugherty now has decided to drop, and his ac tion is regarded by Postal Telegraph officials as fully sustaining their po sition and a complete victory for the company. Reports showed that four years ago the church had a debt of 120.000. Dr. D. V. Poling, pastor of the church, presided at the meeting and spoke of the church's past and future.
