Important Civil Service Case Decide d In
Washington by Judge Coke.

Important Otvu SefvlCo CoS6 D0CIo0 u In
Washington by Judge Coke.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Judge Coke,
of the supreme court of the District of
Columbia, dismissed the bill of COM
plant of John G. Wood, superin-
tendent Of mails at Louisville, KY,
praying that Postmaster-General Gary
and Assistant Postmaster-General
Heath be enjoined from removing him
from office. The case had been con-
sidered in the nature of test Of power
Of removal and the delivery of the
opinion drew to the courtroom many
public officials, including members of
the civil service commission. Judge
Coxe's decision was an elaborate review
Of the law bearing on removals Of
federal employees. He held at the out
set that 1t was not within the power Of
the court of equity to grant relief In
matters of appointment and removal
from ofice. Then taking up the mer-
its Of the case, he stated that it was .
settled law that the power of removal
was incident to the power Of appoint
ment, and that both could be exercised
by the head of department in refer r
ence to subordinate officials.
