President Wilson apparently experi tnced a change of heart over night regarding the Overman amendment to the deficiency bill taking deputy col lectors and marshals out of the civil wrvice.

Barring opposition by President Wilson the Overman amendment will pjiss the house when a quorum Is se cured, thereby freeing about forty Jobs in North Carolina from civil lervice red tape. In Justification of his amendment Fenator Overman today made a state ment In the senate showing that th. main opposition is due to a desire to protect a large number of republi cans covered In the service under re publican administrations. He de clared that In 1 898 1 when Grover Cleveland put deputy collectors under civil service the republicans removed them therefrom In 189 and that In 1909 a republican administration cov ered them back into oivj! service. Overman called at the civil service commission today and learned that of about 95 who took fhe eitamlnnti.jn ,r appointment as deputy collectors ist month only 15 passed.
