A CIVIL SERVICE DECISION.
Judge Cox Decides a Test Case Against
the Protesting Incumbent


the Protesting Incumbent
Washington, ID. c., September IA
Judge Cox. of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, today dismissed the
bill of complaint of John G. Wood, sup
erintendent of mails at Louisville, pray
ing that Postmaster General Gary and
Assistant Postmaster General Heath be
enjoined from removing him from office.
The case has been considered in the ma
ture of a test of the power of removal,
and the delivery of the opinion drew to
the courtroom many public officials in
Guiding members of the civil service CORE
mission.
Judge Cox's decision was an elaborate
review of the law bearing ON removals
Of Federal employees. He held at the out
set that it was not within the power OF
a court of equity to grant relief in mat
ters of appointment and removal from
office. Then, taking up the merits OF
the case stated that it was settled law
that the power of removal was an Incl
dent to the power of appointment, and
that both could be exercised by the head
of department in reference to subordi-
nate officials Concerning the civil service
law, Judge Cox held that it must not
be construed to grant authority, either
to the civil service. commission or TO the
President, to make rules contrary no
the law itself, or of Il legislative char-
acter. He quoted with approval the de
cision of Justice Brewer that Congress
could not delegate its power to legislate
to any administrative body
1t is probable that an appeal win be
taken from the decision and it is said
that ultimately the United States Su-
preme Court will be asked TO pass on
the question involved.

learned, however, that he finds four sus-
picious cases here to-day, all in the
south central districts. When asked
upon what he based his telegram to the
Surgeon General that there would be
spread of the disease here, he said that
the city has had long immunity from
the disease and there is much material
for it to feed upon.

day resigned the craftsmanship of the
Republican State Central Committee,

RICH VICTOR GOLD ORE.
Splendid Samples From This Great
Colorado Camp.

z. w Seniors Victor (Colorado) special

sonists was G. K. Vaughn, of the Bank
of Victor. who has in his keeping some
magnificent specimens of sylvanite ore
from the Gold Coin mine. which is located
right in the very heart of Victor. and
which is a producer with a brilliant future
in store for it.
One of the samples of ore exhibited by
Mr.. Vaughan al Mr. Seniors Office in the
Progress block is piece of granite quartz
that will weigh ten or fifteen pounds. and
this piece is literally covered with native

metal, which is as yellow as yellow can
be. and one OF the samples. which had

ore was worth at least $50 per pound.
The Gold Coin mine is a property of
which the people of Victor are justly
proud, and il IS hard TO estimate the
