WHITE SOX HAVE ONLY ONE MORE GAME TO WIN Evidence of Koons Stfengffiehs Case of Editor Wade ... .... .. t . (Contused from Page Oae.) Verdun, Aug. 28. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Motoring north from the battered city yesterday the automobile ' of an American mem ber of the committee, which is investi gating the work of reconstruction was hailed by aa old peasant who asked to be givoa a lift. There was a vacant aest ia the cir.iid th fllUgrr wmi asked what his destination waa. "America," he replied (L'Ameri que.) Tho passengers thought he had be come mentally unbalanced but be argued with the chauffeur who finally allowed him to ascend ia the aeit seat to him,' intending to drop him at the first village. It wss done. "Grand merci," said the peasant. This is America." "America" proved to be great bar racks which had been erected by the American Bed Cross on a spot where formerly stood the little villsge of Fresnes. There the Bed Cross distrib uted clothing, food and other necessi ties of life to repatriated eitizeni of the devastated region of the Meuse. . The returning inhabitants have chris tened the village America." The bar racks are now occupied by Russian sol diers awaiting their return home, some of them not anxious to return home at all. They have been provided witU old American uniforms and look, exactly like doughboys who had neglected to ahave for three months. When asked s to their nationality, they reply: "We Ajnerikansky."

TDIgesT ef ' The ' "Evldesker"r The essence of the testimony given before the committee by First Assist ant Postmaster General Koons wss that the re-rating ia .the ease of Mr. Wsde was ia perfect accord with the practice of the department and the civil service commission. The whole story, bow old, wat threshed out again aad once again Senator Sterling aad Congressman Brinsoa exchanged sharp words. Sev eral times tha lie was passed la a dip-, lomatie meaner aad evea more often the table was aaaaulted by the fists ef statesmea disclaiming any but the highest motives ia their testimony. When the hearing adjourned last Tuesday, Mr. Brinson requested that a member of the commission as it is now constituted and the First Assistant Postmaster General be called to testify about the Morehead City matter. This afternoon when the hearing was re sumed Senator 8immons expressed sur prise that deposed members of the com mission were testifying and Mr. Brin son tld the ehairmaa be waa surprised that the witnesses they asked for were not present. Senator Sterling said that he hsd something to do with the conduct of the case and tha witnesses would be examined aa he saw fit to examine them. It waa patent from the outset thst the anti-Burleson folks were going to get the headline place on the program and they did. It Was Regular, Says Koons. It was testified to by Chairman Mor- 'peon, of the Civil eserviee Commission. practice of both departments was ob- Willis. James G. Yagen, Assistant Chief Ex aminer of the Commission, testified that he handled-the Wade appeal for a re rating "de novo." "Do you honestly aad conscientiously believe yon were right ia giving Mr. Wade new marks f" Senator MeKellar asked. 1 certainly AS," answered the wit ness. . ' Senator" Walsh tnteeel "le "ael' the polities of the witness. Mr. Yagen said be waa a Republican. He then explained that the second rating given to Mr. Wade waa made up by himself and Mr. Heea, another ex aminer, in individual reports and the two balanced. Are yon still ia favor ef it I" asked Mr. MeKellar. . "Sure, and I stand squarely behind it," answered Mr. Yagen. Tn explanation, the witness said that the leviaioa of the rating was not based oa any new evidence " offered after Willis had been graded first in the ex amination, but on the determination that tho grading ia the first instance was incorrect. ''Had anything new brought out," be said, "s would have investigated further." Again came np the question of the respective butinese ability ef the two applicants, and when it did Senator Walsh asked the witness if be hsd in mind what qualifications were neces sary to get a hundred per cent, grading on business experience. The assistant examiner rather hedged, ''Your examination is such," said Sen ator Walsh, "that a man who submits to it and fails to got aa appointment is forever branded. "A good many of them are still do ing it, Mr. Yagen answered. Hearing Oa Agala Monday. The re-rating of Mr. Wade it one of the three instances ia the history of tho department ainee the order of President "Wilson, issued March SI, 1917, directing tho department to ap point one of the three highest cer tified by the commission. This order was attacked rather tjrply by Senator Wa'jh. The hearing wat continued until Mob day afternoon at 3 o'clock. TJEafTeTMrOaJloWtyrbrSgutbTaromiv former member of the Civil Service Commission, that Postmaster General Burleson was '"debauching'1 the civil service system by undue interference ia the selection of postmasters, to aether with insinuations by Herman W. Craven, of SeaUle; Washu, another for-1 mer commission member, ol alleged ir regularities in civil eervice examina tions were vehemently denied today by witnesses before the Senate, poat offiee sub-committee considering con tested postmaster nominations.. The charges of both former commis sioners brought spirited replies from J. C. Koons, first assistant postmaster general, and Martin A. Morrison, presi dent of the Civil Service Commission, who asserted that neither Mr. Burloaon nor any other Postoffice Department offi cial hsd attempted to exert any influ ence ever- the commission's action in the certification of postmasters or that politics la any way controlled the com mission. Mr. Craven who appeared before the committee la connection with a eon teat over the postmsstership at More bead City, N. C, declared that the commission's examinations in some in stances were a ''sham." In making the assertion, he said he intended it for the membert of theeommittee and asked that it not be placed in the reeord. "I object to that statement and it won't be borne out by the facts," de clared. Mr. Koons, jumping to his feet Csa Make Them a 'Fake.'" A similar denial was made by Presi dent Morrison to which Craven Itn swered that what he said did not apply to postmaster examinations for office paying less than $2,400 annually and added: "I don't say it does apply to ajl eases above that amount, but examinations can be made a fake whenever the post master general wants them to be.' Mr. Craven when pressed for the rea son for hi recent resignation said it ToWeo"mlntn4 that both Giaeea and Galloway after their resignation! had been demanded came to Mr. Bur leson and askei that he-urge thePreal dent to withdraw hie requeet.- Ia-e- ,.1. l rtiirlaann tnM them.' he Said. that ho could do nothing for them aa he had bo connection with the matter. a ..;.
