The fact that there has been nothing

led many to believe that the plan to build was to be abandoned. This is not true, however.

FELLOWS, JIG'S UP!

State Department Will Chop

Heads off Hoosiers in the Consular Corps From Indiana.

"Washington, April 30. A shakeup In

the consular service that will leave a number of high-salaried Indiana consuls out in the cold Is contemplated at an early date. In achieving this end

there is a concert of action between

the State Department and Democratic leaders In Congress.

William J. Bryan, the new premier. Is doing his part. It is a mistake to assume that Mr. Bryan is a stickler for

civil service. At least he is not

enamored of the kind of civil service that has filled nearly all of the consular positions with Republicans, and he is lending his aid in bringing about a reorgantxatlon of the service. Representative Henry D. Flood of Appomattox, Va., chairman of tho House committee on foreign affairs, has prepared a resolution which. If adopted, will "ditch" many of the higher consular officers. It provides that the offices of all consuls and consul generals who draw a salary of 93,600 or more who were not appointed as the result of competitive examinations shall be thrown open to examination under the competitive system. Democrats la Llae. As the choice of eligibles would rest with the administration it is not difficult to see that under this plan Demo

cratic eligibles can be found to fill the

places.

The Indiana consults who would be

affected by this plan and the salaries

of their respective offices follow:

Samuel H. Shank, Indianapolis, con

sul at Flaume, Hungary, $.1,600.

Charles Denby. Evansville. consul

general at Vienna, $6,000.

Alfred AVinslow, Hammond, consul at

Valparaiso. Chili. 4.600.

John L. Griffiths, Indianapolis, con

sult general at London, $12,000.

AV. AV. Canada, 'Winchester, consult

at Vera Cruz. $4,500.

The information which has Induced

Secretary of State Bryan to stand for

a reorganization of the consular service was furnished to him by Repre

sentative Cline of Indiana, a member cf

the foreign affairs committee.
