TRANSFERS HELD ILLEGAL.
West Virginia Judge Renders an Im-
pOrtnnt Decision Under the
Civil Service Law.

Martinsburg. W. Va. Nov. S.-Judge John
j. Jackson handed down decision to-day
which holds that transfer cannot be made
with trial. under the civil service law. be
cause it is equivalent to removal. Judge
Jackson insists that the appointment of
il man to It federal position under the civil
service law gives him right in equity to
the place which he is not forced to sur
render save for cause. Judge Jackson re-
marks in his document that the leaving
of discretionary powers in the hands of the
heads of departments makes the civil SER
vice q dead letter. He remarks that there
is no doubt the civil service law is entirely
constitutional
His second finding is that congress has
never delegated TO the president and the
commission legislative power
His third point declares that the internal
revenue service has been placed under the
merit code. and he also holds that any at
tempt to change the position and rank of
officers in civil service departments Is d
violation of the law.
His final holding is that a court of
equity has a right to sit In such case and
has the jurisdiction to restrain the ap-
pointing power from removing the officers
from their positions if such removals are
shown to be in violation of the civil SER
vice act.
He. therefore, ordered that the men who
had been shifted from good salaried places
stated.
The government authorities here declare
the ruling of Judge jackson will cause
great confusion. as its findings are far
from what had been expected
He practically has held that the fact
that man gets a civil service place under
the government gives him a right in
equity to the salary and emoluments of
the office which is above the caprice of
the head of the department. According to
Judge jackson. it is Illegal to shift man
in office unless the salary and emolurne nts
shall be the same. The change of assign
ment. he says, is equivalent in fact TO a
dismissal, which cannot happen save under
charges and 4 fair trial.
This case fere. which resulted in this
opinion. was brought to reinstate United
States storekeeper or gauger in the revenue
service. When the changes in West Vir-
gnia were agreed upon for October a day
storekeeper at the Hannis distillery OF This
place. was transferred to a position OF ad-
ditional storekeeepr. The storekeeper who
for three months had been on duty as ad-
ditional storekeeper. was laid off. and re-
instated storekeeper was assigned as day
stOrekeeper. The withdrawal gauger was
also laid off and reinstated gauger as
signed to duty. BY injunction. the collect
or and all others were enioined from inter-
fering with the officers. who had been on
duty.

EaEary That Afhfcts Brown
UniverSfty's President.

Providence. r. L.. Nov. S.-President E.
Benjamin Andrews. of Brown university,
and James A. Herne. the actor. spoke at a
Henry George memorial meeting. Sunday
night. 1t was the first time the president
had spoken in public on political matters
since he withdrew his resignation as the
head of Brown university. which he ten
dered last June on account of criticism of
his attitude on the silver question.
His address was one of high eulogy to
Henry George which. he said he came to
pay as "A taxpayer and a citizen of Prov
dence." He characterized George as the
most influential political economist IN the
world at his DEATH and as certain to
exert a great influence on the days that
are to come.
DR.. Andrews thought everything George
wrote well worth reading. He ELECTED ap-
plause when he declared that. in his be-
lief, Georges theory touching land tax is
substantially true. The most interesting
part of the address was when the presi-
dent Of Brown denounced the present sys-
the people knew really how bad It Is, they
