-Attorney" General McReynolds Doea
Not Favor Latest Plan for the Die-
solution of the Southern Pa-"
cific Combine.
.Washington, D. C., June 2. Ma
jority Leader Underwood's control of
the House .will be put to a test to
day in the Democratic caucus, ac
cording to House .Democrats. They
declared that while Underwood was
able to apply the "Bag" when the
tariff bill was being put - through, : it
was not at all certain he would be
able to do bo this time. Underwood
proposes, it was learned, to have the
caucus pass a resolution binding all
Democratic members to refrain from
enacting any ' legislation during the
present session except a brief presen
tation which Underwood will specify.
The Underwood resolution if adopt
ed, it was said, would be a lid on all
activities of the House for the re
mainder of the session except com-
Tnfftpo 'wvrlr nnrt xvnulrf nut ATfin a
strong damper on" that The resolu
tion will set . forth that "there be no
legislation except the final enactment
of the tariff bill into law, passage of
a banking and currency bill, the pas
sage of a deficiency appropriation
bill, estimates for which wiH be sub
mitted to congress at an early date.
What Resolution Provides.
,The resolution will provide that no
committee other than the three com
mittees acting on these measures
shall have the power to report a bill
to the House, and also will provide
for a suspension of the House rule
which regulates motions to discharge
committees and is designed to drag
out of committee legislation to which
the committee ha3 applied the
"chloroform" , process.
' If the Underwood resolution is
-adopted all kinds of private bills In
which many new members are Inter
ested will be barred from considera
tion and the members can either stay
-at the capitol . and await develop
ments, or they can go home. It was
stated that the resolution will prob
ably be adopted. . r
Disapproves Merger Plan.
Attorney General McReynolds ex
pressed his ' disapproval of the latest
plan for the dissolution of the South
ern Union Pacific merger. He de
clared that in the near future he will
file a suit to compel the Southern Pa--cific
Railroad to give up the control
of the Central Pacific Railroad. This
ownership, he holds, Is ?n direct viola
lion of law. :.:

PI'S ARE STUDflilG
FOURTH CLASS POSTMASTERS
MUST PROVE FITNESS FOR
THEIR PLACES. "
EXAMINATIONS OPEN TO ALL
Competitive Tests Will Be Applied In
.Every State Civil Service Com
mission Entering Upon Biggest
Job That Ever Confronted Jt
By GEORGE CLINTON.
.Washington. Most of the -fourth
class, postmasters of the country to
day are going to school- again.'' Un
der the orders of. Postmaster General
Albert S Burleson, .sanctioned by
President Woodrow- Wilson, who nat
urally - takes a deep, interest in edu
cational matters," the postmasters of
humble rank soon will, be called be
fore examining boards "not .only to
prove their, fitness for their $200 plus
jobs, but to prove that they are bet
ter fitted to hold them, than "are any
of. their fellow townsmen with postof
fice ambitions. , V - : :.' -
Fpurth class postmasters are -now
legally on a civil service basis. The
fact that a,man holds the Job at pres
ent will.be of no service to him un
less he can down other aspirants In
the . competitive "examinations which
soon are to be held all over the United
States. Here, are the competitive tests
which will be -applied :
-1. Elementary arithmetic . and ac
counts (simple tests In addition, sub
traction, multiplication and. -division
of whole . numbers and common and
decimal fractions and statementsof
the postmaster's accounts.) -
2. Penmanship (the legibility, neatness,1-and
general appearance of tho
compositor's handwriting in the . sub
ject ; of letter writing). . ' , "
; 3. Letter writing (a letter of not
less than 125 words on any one or two
subjects furnished). ! :-
4. Copying manuscript address (a
simple test in copying . accurately: ad
dresses given. .' -
5. . Facilities for transacting postal
business (based on the location of the
postoffice site, the convenience of of
fice arrangements, etc.). .
Big Task for Examiners.
The civil service commission will
send examiners, to the county seats
for the purpose . of conducting these
postmastership - examinations. The
task of the "Quizzers" will be a big
one, for there are many thousands of
fourth class postmasters, and prob
ably there will be many more" thou
sands of applications than., there are
jobs in sight Postmasters who" are
receiving less than $180 a year are not
to be disturbed at thi3 time, but it is
taken for granted that there will be
no strong protest against this, exemp
tion from the Democratic faithful who
are seeking preferment,
Some of the Republican members of
congress are inclined to be jocose over
this invasion of the civil service" into
the fourth class postmastership field.
They-are asking if,' when the lists of
the successful competitors are scan
ned it will' not be found that most of
the successful ones of good, true and
time-tried Democrats. - This Question
ing. on the part of- the & Republicans
carries with it an Intimation that the
civil service commission, which is to
conduct . the. examinations or the ex
aminers themselves, will not do their
duty, as it ought to be done, and' it
implies, also, that neither Mr. Wilson
nor Mr. Burleson is sincere in- this
latest civil service exploit There haB
been very little complaint in the paBt
of the work of the civil service com
mission, and it is hardly likely that
the commission or it3 agencies will
stoop to trickery for the Bake of help
ing some thousands of men to get pic
ayune jobs. ; 7 v .
Where Democrats probably will
profit in a party sense by. these com
petitive examinations for fourth class
postmasters is in cases where, under
Republican; rule, the Jobs have been
given to men for political service only,
men who had no proper business qual
ifications for. the places. Fourth class
postmasters of this kind probably wil
be ousted before long, but Democrats
may not-profit any more than Repub
licans, taking it for. granted that the
average of intelligence in the two par
ties Is about the same. Except in the
south there, probably will be about
as many Republicans to take the ex
aminations as Democrats,and. there
fore, fitness probably will rule.
Wail of Porto Rico.
It is pretty well known in Washing
ton that the administration and the
Democratic leaders in congress fear
sugar in its results on the Porto Rican
industry more than they do the results
as they will affect the Louisiana plant
ers and the western beet-root grow
ers..Th.e administration and congress
are being told by possible alarmists
that free sugar will ruin Porto Rico
Representatives of the Porto Rican3
are in Washington -doing what they
can to secure a change in the proposed
tariff legislation as .'it affects sugar.
The Porto Ricans say that with free
bu6 musv iiapunani mausiry.oni
the Island will be wiped out It is a
direful tale which . the islanders tell,
and if things turn out as . they say
blackly It. is certain that they will,
the island will experience a destruc
tion of its system of public education,
paralysis of public works and sanita
tion endeavor, and the impoverishment
and the throwing into a condition of
absolute misery of 400,000 Porto Rican
men, women and children.
Worries Democratic Leaders. "
r The Democratic leaders in congress
are worried more ovefthe Porto Rico
matter than ..over . the . Louisiana nrat-
ter, because of the sentiment which
attaches to a proper,. guardianship of
the wards of the nation. It has been the
custom from time to time to' pom t out
the immense advantages which . have
come to Porto Rico since the Spanish
rule was overthrown. . The hook worm
disease has been almost entirely eradi
cated, the Porto Rican laborer has new
vim and energy; sanitation has every
where been Improved and the children
of. the teland - are being taught to
read, write and cipher. Things today
are well with the Island . and now
comes ihe prophesy of evil that if freo
sugar In three years is voted the last
condition of the island will be worse
than the first
Santo Domingo produces sugar and
in that island when a crop is to be har
vested the laborers are run In and paid
enough to satisfy them, which Is not
enough, it is said, : to satisfy the la
borer In . any ,, other place , on earth
except in eome sections of th far
east." Porto Rico, it is claimed, there
fore, cannot ; compete under the pro
posed conditions with Santo Domingo
and the Porto Rican laborer who nsed
to work for a pitiful sum but who now
is getting -a, fair wage and other things
which, he did not . know before, must
give -over under new" competitive con
ditions all that he has gained" and re
lapse into the old abject state. -
In Washington today there is a dele
gation consisting of - the speaker of
the Porto Rican house of , delegates,
the president of the" executive council
and ' several prominent planters - and
business men. 'This delegation is offi
cial, having been appointed by an act
of " the legislature of Porto Rica -for
the purpose of "representing and de
fending the Island In connection with
the pending tariff bill."
Guthrie's Difficult Post.
George W. Guthrie of Pittsburgh,
Pa., who has just been confirmed as
Uncle Sam's ambassador to . Japan,
was an "original Wilson man," and it
may be said that original Wilson men
are getting a fair chance at preference
under the new administration. Mr.
Guthrie will go upon a most difficult
mission, for the relations between this
country and the eastern empire, while
outwardly friendly, so - far as diplo
matic matters are concerned, are not
altogether cordial under the surface.
Mr. Wilson's appointee to the great ,
post of Japan la new to the diplomatic
service, and the state department real
izes that the Pittsburgh man will need
all the resourcefulness,; the tact and
ability which the president of the
United States says that his nominee
possesses, to enable him . to thread
successfully the tangle of our Japan
ese diplomatic relations.
Democrat of Reform School. .
The country's new ambassador "to
Japan has been a life-long Democrat
of the reform school. When he was
under thirty years of age he was re
tained as an assistant counsel for the
Democratic electors in the . Tilden
Hayes controversy. . Some years later
he was a candidate for mayor of Pitts
burgh on a municipal league ticket
The campaign was one of reform, and
Mr. Guthrie was defeated, but in 1906
he was elected mayor of the big man
ufacturing town, and held ; the office
for four years. ; " - ' - ,
. In the .year. 1900 Mr. Guthrie was
an assistant ; secretary of the Demo
cratic national convention, and four
years later he was a delegate trom the
Pittsburgh district to the national
convention at St. Louis. He has been
interested in . sociological and philan
thropic work for years. - He is much
of a student,' and -more than a little of
a scholar, which, together with his
Wilson predilections,"made him the
grateful choice of the administration
for a great foreign post. - . "
Henry Breckenridge, who has been
appointed by President Wilson as as
sistant secretary of war - to succeed
General Oliver, was more of a-Wilson
man than, was Mr. Guthrie, for - Mr.
Breckenridge was one of the . Prince
ton students who took a militant part
in behalf of Woodrow : Wilson in - a
certain - university T controversy. :- In
which the present president of the
United States at one time was en
gaged. ' " ' -
Breckenridge of Army Family.
The new assistant secretary - of
war was brought up, so to speak, in
the army. VHis father, Joseph C.
Breckenridge, who was .born io Mary
land,- but ho later moved to Ken
tucky, is a major general on the re
tired list of the United States army
This branch of the Breckenridge fam
ily remained loyal to the Union, and
early in' 1862 General Breckenridge
was appointed by Lincoln as a second
lieutenant of . the Second-' artillery,
united ' States regulars. He served
through the last three years of the
Civil war and remained on the active
list of the gular army until 1903,
when he was retired as a major gen
eral. His son, the preaent assistant
secretary of war; has the army post
view, and, better than -most laymen,
perhaps. Is fitted itor the post to which
he has been appointed
