DEMOCRATS GIVE OUl CME SERVICE LEAGUE STATEMENT BVGOMPERS ATTACKS THE PRESIDENT

LABOR LEADER REVIEWS RECORD OF HUGHES ON BENCH.

SAYS HE UPHELD INJUNCTION

WASHINGTON, August 9.-Democratic party managers here today gave out a letter from President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, to Thomas H. Nichols, of Alliance, O., reviewing the attitude of Charles E. Hughes, the Republican presidential nominee in supreme court cases involving the interests of labor, particularly the Danbury hatters' case. Mr. Gompers was out of the city but the Democratio leaders gave out the letter as having been written from headquarters of the American Federation of Labor in response to a request for Mr. Hugnes's record. Reviews the Hatters’ Case. Mr. Gompers’s letter reviews the Danbury hatters' case, which resulted in a unanimous decision of the supreme court, in which former Justice Hughes concurred, holding the hatters of Danbury must individually pay D. E. Loewe & Co. some $300,000 damages under the Sherman law for the celebrated hatters’ boycott. It also referred to the court’s decision holding unconstitutional the Arizona anti-alien labor law. Former Justice Hughes wrote the opinion. Says Injunction Was Indorsed. "In that decision,” Mr. Gompers wrote, “Justice Hughes took the position that the injunctive process applies to personal relations. Justice Hughes made more definite his indorsement of the theory that injunctions apply to personal relations. Mr. Hughes has taken an unequivocal position. He indorses the abuse of the writ of Injunction against which wage earners have vigorously protested, and which they have tried to correct by remedial legislation in order that they might enjoy the rights and opportunities of free citizens. — “The above is accurately the information which you asked and I take it will be of importance to you, as well as to the working people and liberty-loving citizens all over the country, and enabling them to understand the mental attitude of Mr. Hughes who now Is a candidate for the presidency of the United States.'* HELD TO CRIMINAL COURT. F. C. Hartman Placed Under Peace Bond on Former Wife’s Complaint. Fred C. Hartman, 1222 Fletcher avenue, was bound over to criminal court today In the court of Conrad Keller, Justice of the peace, under $300 bond to keep the peace, on an affidavit filed in the court of Monte C. Fiscus, Justice of the peace, by his former wife, Ada Hartman, 820 North Pennsylvania street, a clerk in the office of the state fire marshal. Hartman, who was arrested August 3, obtained a change of venue from Fiscus's court. At the hearing before Justice Keller, Mrs. Hartman testified Hartman threatened her frequently, and made a practice of following her In the street. Hartman denied the statements made by his former wife. I Hartman was released recently from the penal farm where he was sent by James A. Collins, judge of the criminal court, for assault and battery on Mrs. Hartman. BOARD ACTS UNDER NEW LAW

Public Work* Body Provides for Reapportionment of Assessment. The board of public works today acted for the first time under the provisions of a law passed by the last legislature, which provides for the reappoi tionment of Barrett law assessments on property, when it adopted a modified assessment roll That the Barrett law assessment on a lot owned by the Anchor Realty Company, at New York and Gray streets, might be reapportioned, following the subdivision of the ground into three lots. Until the law was passed by the legislature there was no legal means whereby the city might reapportion public improvement assessments that the assessments might fall equally on parcels of the ground after it had been subdivided. The law provides that a board of public works may take such action on the petition of the owners. Untermyer Not to Make Race. ALBANY, N.

SAYS THAT ACCESS TO RECORDS WOULD EMBARRASS HIM.

LETTER OUTLINES CHARGES

(Special to The Indianapolis News] NEW YORK, August 9.—The National Civil Service League made a public attack today on President Wilson and the administration of public patronage that ia supposed to be under civil service protection. It declares that the federal civil service commission, with President Wilson's approval, refuses to permit examination of records to ascertain whether it is true or not that fourth class postmasters, especially, have been brought in under the old system of political plunder and patronage. Correspondence that has been carried on with the President for some time was made public. A letter written by Richard Henry Dana to the President, outlines the charges that are made. In this letter he says: “Grave complaints have been made and detailed specifications given that fourth-class postmasterships and positions in the motor rural delivery service have been made the patronage of congressmen, in violation of the civil service law, by the action of the postmaster-gen-eral In directing that eligible lists should be referred to such congressmen with requests for their recommendations, and when we ask for an Inspection of lists of eliglbles by which such complaints can be established or refuted, the commission refuses to allow us to see them lest an inspection should ‘embarrass an administration.’ " Reach Fifty Thousand Postmasters. The present operations which, it is charged, are political, reach 50,000 postmasters. In its statement the Civil Service Reform League says; “This is the first time in its existence that information as to the public administrative work of the federal commission has been denied to It, except during a short period in the year 1899. In refusing its request the piesent commission has inaugurated a policy of secrecy full of foreboding for the proper administration of the civil service law. "Complaints have come to the league during the last three years that the practical effect of the executive order of May 7, 1913, requiring fourth-class postmasters to submit to competitive examination, was in many Instances to secure the appointment of Democratic postmasters in place of the former Incumbents, most of whom were Republicans. Other complaints have reached the league that Postmaster-General Burleson, in putting into effect his policy of motorization, of the rural free delivery service, turned out the old rural carriers and filled the vacancies In large part with Democrats who took new examinations. Might Lead to Criticism. "A conference between the commission and members of the league’s council was held in Washington on March 31, 1916. At that conference, according to the league, John L. Mcllhenny, president of the commission, told Richard H. Dana, president of the league, that if access were given to these records it might lead to such criticism of the administration as would seriously embarrass it. * * • President Wilson wrote Mr. Dana saying that he had referred the league’s correspondence to the commlssioon, 'with the suggestion that in their annual report for the year 1916 the commission disclose the method employed by them and by the postoffice department In administering the executive order referred to. together with the results obtained thereby.’ The league* did not take kindly to this suggestion, as It sought names and facts as well as methods and results. Moreover, the commission’s nejft annual leport Is not likely to be published until after election day.” New Order Issued. The league’s statement says that just two months after he took office. President Wilson issued a new executive order, the effect of which was to throw the great bulk of the fourth class postmasterships open to competitive examination, in which newcomers stood on an equal footing with the former Incumbents. Under the regulations of the commission, the postmaster-general might appoint to a given office any one of the three candidates standing highest on the eligible list resulting from such examination. This gave the postmastergeneral a chance to consult with members of the congress, and on their recommendation to replace a politically objectionable Incumbent, even though he passed, the examination with the highest rating, by either of the other two men at the head of the list. It is charged that this has been done.

IFERENCE DEE m AT BETHANY

THE REV. C. S. BROOKS AT HEAD OF EVANGELISTS.

TRAINING SCHOOL FEATURES

(Special to The Indianapolis News] BETHANY PARK, ^-Ind., August 9.— Additional delegates for the various training school classes at Bethany park arrived last night and this morning. An assembly of the students of the training achool for Sunday school workers was held in the Christian Endeavor cottage Dean Garry L. Cook, of Indianapolis; and the members of the faculty spoke briefly of the purpose and different plans of the school. The evangelistic conference officers were elected today as follows: President, the Rev. Clayton 8. Brooks, Portsmouth, O.: vice-president, the Rev. W. H. Book, Columbus; secretary-treasurer, the Rev. Roger H. Fife, Plymouth. Directors— The Rev. W. T. Brooks Ladoga; the Rev. R. s. Hawkins, Oxford; the Rev T. J. Brook Peru; the Rev. J. V. Coombs; Danville; the Rev. G. I. Hoover, of Indianapolis; the Rev. W. H. Book, Columbus; the Rev. T. J. Legg, Indianapolls; the Rev R. H. Fife, and the Rev. A. K. Clarke, Brooklyn. Speaks on the Rural Church. Alva W. Taylor, of Columbia. Mo., spoke on the “Rural Church and the Larger Interests of the Community.” He said there are among the Disciples of Christ 7,700 rural churches and that 5.000 of this number make no missionary contributions. “The fact," he said, “that 90 per cent of the ministers and missionaries come from rural churches shows that the rural church is not lacking in the spirit of sacrifice which leads to giving. The country church will give money if it will give missionaries if the church can be properly appealed to. We must put into operation an effective means of organizing the missionary finances of the country church. We have conceived of our task in terms of evangelism only. We have been afraid to organise our country churches for missionary activities.” The speaker suggested plans of interesting the churches in missions and asserted that the average of the villages to give is as large, if not larger, in the country than in the city church. Auxiliary Organizations. Miss Cynthia Pearl Maus, of St. Louis, discussed auxiliary organizations and the church school. She said these auxiliary organizations had arisen because the church had failed to meet anything but the religious needs of its own people. “These auxiliary organizations, which have grown up in connection with the modern church school" she said, “fall naturally into three great classes—religious, semi-religious and welfare. They were all born out of a lack of vision on the part of the school of the four-fold needs of boys and girls.” Miss Maus named the different auxiliaries which have been organized. “All theee organizations,'’ she said, “have done a worth-while work, some are rendering a valuable service and the most fit will survive.

each organization depends on its leader. According to the speaker, there are some objections to these auxiliary organizations. She says “they make an appeal only to a certain period in the life of a boy or girl, and provide expression for a part only of his or her life. When boys and girls outgrow these auxiliary organizations, they have outgrown the church because their loyalty never has been tied to the church.” President H. O.
