FOURTH CLASS
POST OFFICES
Thrown Open to Competitive
Examination by Order of
President.
Washinton, May 7.— All
fourth class postmasterships ex
cept those paying less than $180
a year were thrown open to com
petitive examinations by an or
der issued today by President
Wilson. These positions are re
tained in the classified service,
but about 50,000 incumbents
who were “covered” into the
classified service by executive
orders of previous administra
tions will have to meet all com
ers in competitive examination
to hold their positions with civil
service protection.
in a statement making this
arder public, Postmaster Gen
gral Burleson announced that it
was the purpose of president
Wilson and himself to extend the
classified service to include pres
idential postmasters of the se
cond and third class, probably
within a year. This may re
quire legislation by Congress, he
said. His plan, which will be
aid before the president, would
orovide for a qualification test
for incumbents and applicants
‘in keeping wnth the importance
}f the offices.”
Under President Taft’s order
if October 15, 1912, fourth class
postmasters were divided into
two classes, Class “A,” those
drawing more than $500, and a
Dlass “B,” those drawing less
:han $500. Competitive examin
ations were prescribed for fu
:ure applications for Class “A”
appointments, while the Class
‘B” positions were to be filled
jpon recommendations of post
affice inspectors.
Today’s order leaves only the
offices paying $180 or less to be
filled upon inspectors’ recom
mendations.

Baby Falls From Second Story.
Lottie Best the little daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Jewel Best,
fell from the second story bal
cony of the Planter’s hotel to
the stone pavement below Wed
nesday afternoon and what is
most fortunate, no serious re
sults other than soreness follow
ed.
In falling the baby struck some
man standing on the walk be
low, which probably broke the
fall and otherwise kept the little
body from being crushed.

( Mountain Buys New Engine
In line with the policy of the
j management of the Missouri
J Pacific-Iron Mountain System of
j putting a substantial part of the
learnings into improvements and
j betterments, President Benja
min F. Bush has authorized the
| purchase of seventeen new loco
1 motives for that road. The
j American Locomotive Works
: was awarded the order for sev
i en large passenger engines
; known as the Mountain type,
i and for five Pacific type passen
, ger engines. The Baldwin Lo
! comotive Works secured the
I contract for five heavy, power
ful engines of the Mikado make.
The seven Mountain type loco
motives will be of the largest
I pattern of passenger engine con
jstructed and will be used on the
main line to the south, hauling
j the heavy passenger trains over
i the Ozark divisions of the road.
: They will be 15 feet 51/2 inches
iin height, with a total length of
; eighty feet, and w’ill combine the
heavy tractive forces of 50,350
pounds with a capacity for high
' speed. The total weight of en
gme and tender v.*;!! re 457.U00
pounds. The tender will be 28
feet in length, being built long
er and lower than the ordinary
locomotive, obviating to a great
extent the liability of derail
i ment.
The five Pacific type passen
! ger engines will be built primar
j ily for speed, the driving wheels
! being over six feet in diameter,
l and will be used in the fast
passenger service recently inau
gurated by the Missouri Pacific
between St. Louis and Pueblo.
They will be 77 feet, 5 inches in
length, and to the top of the
stack will measure 15 feet, 5i/>
inches. They will have 26-inch
cylinders and the total weight of
the engine and tender will be
412,500 pounds.
| The five Mikados are for
| freight service on the heavier
divisions of the road. These en
jgines will stand 15 feet, 51/2
! inches in height, with a total
length of 78 feet, 4V2 inches.
The three styles of engines
will be equipped with the latest
improvements in locomjotive con
' struction, including electric
headlights, electric cab lights
and superheaters.

Civic Improvement Open House.
The ladies of the Civic 1m-1
l
provement League, which is do* j
ing a most commendable work
in improving the sanitation,
cleanliness and beauty of the
city, entertained their husbands,
sweethearts, brothers etc. at
the Elks’ Home Wednesday ev
ening and proved such clever,
entertaining hostesses, that a
most delightful evening was
spent by their guests.
First on the program was a
ladies hat trimming contest, on
ly the men being eligible to en-!
try. Shapes were furnished!
along with a few feathers, frills,
fruits and flowers in an endless
variety of colors and the men
expected to produce real Cage
designs, that would establish
the season’s styles. The results
were quite stunning to the whole
assembly and provoked quite a
a bit of laughter at the expense
of the trimmers, who had their
i inning later, however when all
j these funny looking hats, when
l applied to the heads of the many
pretty young ladies present, j
looked quite “fetching.”
