Roosevelt Fires Subtreasurer William Leth for Civil Service Violations
President Roosevelt, acting as judge, ousted Philadelphia subtreasurer William Leth amid accusations of evading civil service rules and fraud in examinations. The case, pursued by Civil Service Reform advocates and led by Chil Service Convener Cooley, tied Leth to pressuring a sister into eligibility questions and using technicalities to bypass the law. Knox may name a successor as Republicans in Pennsylvania react to the blow.
