Conferees Concede Clerical
Force Shall Not Be Named
Under Spoils System.
House and Senate conferees on the
tariff bill have made a partial con
cession to the .civil service in adjust
ing those features of the measure which
relate to the collection of the income
tax.
It was learned unofficially today that
the conferees have provided that the
clerical force In Washington which Is
concerned with the collection of the In
come tax and the administration of the
Income -tax will be under the civil
service.
The force In the field, which will con
sist of a small army of deputies, agents,
and the like, will not be under civil
service, but will be political appointees.
If the conference report stands as It la
now understood to be.
The change made by the conferees
with respect to the clerical force In
Washington Is to some extent a gain
for the application tf the civil service
principle. The bill as It passed the
Senate provided for the appointment on
the spoils basis of all the employes con
cerned In the administration of the In
come tax measure.
If the agreement of the conferees, as
It Is now unofficially said to be, is
adopted by Congress, it will preserve
the clerical force In the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue from the inroads of
the spoils system.
The National Civil Service Reform
League and other organisations inter
ested In the promotion oof the civil
service Idea have protested strongly
against reversion to the spoils method
In the selection of employes to admin
ister the Income tax law. .They have
not been able, however, to have much
effect, owing to the hunger .of Demo
cratic politicians for Jobs.

Diamond Is Found
Secreted In Oyster
By Wakefield Woman.
WAKEFIELD, Mass, Sept. a8.
Pearls big and little have been
found in oysters, but for the first
time on record a diamond has
been found in one of the luscious
bivalves.
Mrs. Margaret Barrett found one
and took it to several Boston
jewelers, all of whom appraised it
as worth from $300 to $325.
The oyster, however, did not raise
the stone, as it had been carefully
faceted by a lapidary, and the
theory is that the gem was lost
from Its setting in the ring of
some bather and the oyster closed

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept 38.
Junius Spencer Morgan, son of J.
P. Morgan, is living in one of the
crudest dormitories at Harvard, it
was learned today, having gone to
Hollis Hall, which is more than
100 years old.
The stairs and halls are of unfin
ished wood, hollowed by the feet
of the passing generations of the
college, the door to his room has
an old-fashioned farm house latch
and the key to the lock weighs
enough to make it serviceable as
a club. There is not a porcelain
tub in the building, and his life
will be practically as devoid of
luxury as were the, students of
100 years ago.

Former Lead of Tammany
HaH Attack Memory of Late
New Yorlc'Maybr.
LONDON, Sept 28. The following
statement, by Richard Croker, the
former leader of Tammany Hall, has
Just been given out from his. Irish
estate. Glen Cairn, through a Dublin
journal, and was sent to the London,
bureaus of American newspapers:
DUBLIN, Sept 28. Richard Croker,
the former leader of Tammany Hall,
when seen today at his residence
here, Glen Cairn, gave the following
statement for publication:
"On reading the New York papers
of September 12 and 13, I see that
the late mayor has been eulogized
to the sacrifice of others.
Concerned In Some Items.
"There are several Items In connec
tion with his past which concerns, me
and a member of my family. One
paper printed a statement regardlu?
the evils of his administration which
ho overcome, among them being the
resignation of my nephew, Chief Ed
ward F. Croker, from the Fire De
partment through scandals.
"I never knew of any except his
own domestic affairs, which were
settled in court That cannot be sa!4
of the late Mayor's, as they never
reached that far.
"If these charges of Tammanybxlng
the Fire Department were true, why
was the late Mayor so anxious to re
tain my nephew's services as Chief,
raising his salary from $10,000 to
$12,000 If he would remain In- office,
and on his retirement giving him the
benefit of this Increase by giving hurt
a pension for Hfo of RttiO a year?
"While he was Commissioner of
the Fire Department of New Tork
there was never any politics connect
ed with the force. It had always
heen his policy to carry out my
Ideas. This he fulfilled up to the time
of his resignation, which he offered
or his own free will, having served the
city faithfully as a public servant for
two years over the time allotted for
retirement.
"When they taw that we favored its
passaKe. they immediately withdrew
It. We would gladly have passed It.
had we the power and tho votes of
representatives of the State Senate
and assembly.
"If a Tammany man commits a
crime the whole organlxatlon is con
demned. This Is not the case with
Republicans. Censure In their case is
conrtned to Individuals.
As To Leaving Millions.
"If a Tammany mayor died, leaving
$5.000,000 or $6,000,000 after having a
large family to support on a small
salary, what would the so-called re
formers say? I do not say he made
