irregularities in civil service examina

from J. C. Koons, first assistant post

Mr. Burleson nor any other official

A similar denial was made by Pres

Mr. Craven, when pressed for the
reason for his recent resignation, said,
it was at the president’s request and
was due to the ffcct that he ‘‘would
not be subservient to the postofflee de
partment.”
