DROPPED MATCH !NP0WDER CAN Don Clapp Injured at Fountain City. Fountain City, Nov. 28. While Don Clapp, the nine years' old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Clapp of Richmond, was experimenting with a can 'of guifpowder and a lighted match yesterday afternoon the inevitable happened and the unfortunate boy was badly burned about the face. He also inhaled a quantity of powder smoke and gas resulting from the explosion and for a time it was feared he would be suffocated. While his burns are exceedingly painful they are not considered dangerous. He has been taken to his home in Richmond. Young Don was in Fountain City visiting his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Cranor. Yesterday he secured some gunpowder and placed It In a can. He then dug a hole In the ground and placed the can into it. Standing over the hole the lad struck a match and dropped it into the powder. TWICE CONTINUED IN ONE DAY Unique Record of Case. Divorce The case of Reba Stephens vs. Harry P.

SPOILS SYSTEM RESTORED

THOUSANDS OF CLERKSHIPS IN CENSUS DEPARTMENT WILL CO TO GRABBERS IF MEASURE 18 PASSED BY CONGRESS. Washington. D. C, Nov. 2S. While William Dudley Foulke of Richmond, Ind.. formerly United States civil ser vice commissioner, was in Washington this week he called the attention ot President Roosevelt to the fact that If the bill Congressman Crumpacker of Indiana intends to Introduce In the house, providing for taking the thirteenth deccenlal census of the United State. Alaska, Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Islands, is passed, three thousand census department clerkships will be exposed to the Itching fingers of spoils grabbers. Mr. Foulke called the attention of the president to the evils that will ensue if the clerks mho are to be employed In the work of the coming cen sus are appointed on the old plan of the longest pole knocking the most persimmons. Mr. Foulke believes the question a very serious one and he succeeded in Impressing the president with his views. The provision In the Crum packer bill which has aroused the Ire of the civil service reformers and brought on the conflict does away with the usual competitive examinations for clerks and substitutes a noncompetitive ex amination. This is equivalent, say the civil service advocates, to the conversion of 3,000 clerkships Into political spoils. The National Civil Service Reform association, which exercises a vigilant guardianship over the -civil service law, is preparing to wage a fight of tremendous vigor on this feature of the Crumpacker bill. This association, which has headquarters at 79 Wall street, New York, has gathered soma ammunition which it believes wm be used for all It is worth. Last summer, anticipating an effort would be made to convert the census clerkships into spoils, the Civil Service Reform association wrote letters to all of the members of congress who were up for re-election and asked them to define their views on the proposition. Elliott II. Goodwin, secretary of the association, states enough members of congress pledged themselves against the spoils grab to defeat it, provided they stick to their pledges. Every ounce of influence the Civil Service Reform Association can command will be used against the measure, and It has potent allies in the many states and many congressional . districts, which means that members who line up for the spoils grab are likely to have fires built under them at home. -Plan to Defeat Spoils. The Civil 6ervice Commission also has a big stick In reserve for the Crumpacker bill and Henry F. Greene, one of the commissioners, said today that everything the commissioners can do honorably to defeat the spoils provision will be done. "The plan proposed Is dangerous from the viewpoint ot the public service," said he. "It would restore the old era when political pull meant nearly everything in obtaining appointments and it would badly demoralize the work ot the census bureau. The history of the last two censuses has shown that as soon as the census is taken the clerks engaged In that undertaking manage somehow or other to get blanketed under the general civil service, sometimes by a rider on an appropriation bill and sometimes otherwise., and thus become permanent employes of the government. It Is therefore of the highest importance that incompetents shall not be railroaded into these clerkships in the first Instance through the medium of political pull." LID UNCLAMPED.
