Roosevelt's new order to weed out government incompetence
President Roosevelt approves a sweeping rule allowing removal of civil service employes for incapacity or inefficiency with minimal notice. Cabinet members and civil service officials defend it as a needed step against red tape and poor performance, citing the automobile driver incident as a catalyst. The policy aims to speed dismissals while maintaining a written statement of reasons, with assurances that no mass purge is intended.

Dismissal of Government Chauffeur After Presidential Incident
A Department of Commerce and Labor chauffeur, Tobia Elvidge of Minnesota, was dismissed by Secretary Metcalf after driving between a carriage bearing the President and a bicycle detail. The incident on Massachusetts Avenue near eighteenth street NW occurred Monday. Elvidge, 720 dollars a year, had joined the city with his wife two weeks earlier. The action followed a Cabinet-backed order requiring civil service employees to observe good behavior.
