NO RULE WAS VIOLATED.
Chief Paris Declares He Showed
No FavOrftism.

Chief Paris attention was called toda y
to the charge made that he had shown
favoritism in a recent recommendation for
promotion in No. en- gine company.
Joseph o. Guy, foreman Of that com
pany. esigned not long ago, and was placed
on the watchmen's list at his own request.
The chief recommended the promotion Of
W. L. Robinson and it was made. AS there
were Several others in the company OF
higher rank than his, who each expected
the preferment by reason of that fact, 1t
was said after Robinson was appointed
foreman that the chief had violated his own
rules.
There is no violation OF any rule, nor
k there rule to violate. in such promo
tion," said the chief today. 1.-The only
rule there is upon which the criticism is
based says plainly that vacancies occurrin &
in the positions shall be filled by promo
tions OF members of the department who
may be competent and worthy.
"I promoted Robinson because 1 could
depend upon his efficiency. Heis a reliable
man, and knows his territory perfectly.
1t is no reflection on anybody, and it is
very much better, anyhow, that every
member OF a company shall be able to feel
that he is in line for advancement upon
merit. A good man can be thus encouraged
to fit himself for dicharging any duty that
may be required Of him."
The chief added that he never allowed
personal feelings to govern in the choice
of his subordinates. If man is capable
and willing, he said, that s all he required.
1t is for that reason, 1t may be said, that
the chief adopted several years ago the
rule OF having men appointed to the force
on probation. His civil service method
was adopted before the Commissioners de-
cided to make such a plan general in the
District, which plan is now in operation
under their direction.
