CIVIL SERVICE.
Inc Constltutionality of the Illinois Law
oPneio-Decision Designates What Com
sututes Heads of Departments.

OF Departments.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-The supreme
court OF Illinois, sitting at Springfield.
handed down a decision Wednesday
uphoIdlng the constitutionalitv of the
civil service law of the state. The de-
clson was rendered in a mandamus
proceeding brought by the attorney
general OF the state to compel Chief
Ripley, of the Chicago police force. to
make appointments from the classified
list furnished by the civil service COM
mission. The decision is sweeping in
1T nature and upholds the attorney
general in all the claims he makes in
behalf of the law.
The light between the chief of police
and the civil service commission arose
over the fact that when the present
municipal administration came into
power the chief of police made his ap-
polntments without consulting the
commission, and claimed he had right
to do so. The attorney general at once
brought an action to compel Chief
Kipley to abide by the list of the civil
service commission, and this he must
now do.
The decision also settles the question
of what constitutes heads of DEPART
ments" by stating that the head of anv
department is the man in charge of
that department. He is declared to be
exempt from the operation of the law.
but this exemption does not extend to
| his subordinates. Hereafter the mavor
is privileged to appoint the head of
1fNv orfr,o II I
service commission will control the re-
mainder of the Offices
All the appointments which Mayor
Harrison and Chief of Police Kiplev
have made since they entered their
present positions are, with the excep-
ton of the heads of departments ap-
pointed by the mayor, now under this
decision, rendered illegal, and the
chances are that the commission will
in a short time, inaugurate a grand
housecleaning that will take his po-
sition from every man not appointed
by the commission. In the police de-
partment a hurricane will sweep
through the upper ranks and but few
of the commanding officers will be al
lowed to remain unless they pass their
examinations.
Among the positions heretofore filled
by the mayor and affected by the de.
cision and brought under civil service
] are:
Assistant chief of police, four inspec
tors of police, 16 police captains, secre
tary of police, private secretary to the
chief of police, assistant commissioner
of health, secretary of health depart

Charges Against DIR. Fall.

The trial of DR.. Fall of the institute
for feeble-minded youth at Beatrice,
on charges preferred by the board Of
public lands and buildings, began Tues
day. The charges, in brief, ure in
subordination, incompetency and dis
respectful conduct toward the board.
The board alleges that his incompe-
tency has resulted in two deaths at
the institute. DIR. Fall will allege as q
defense that the board has no juris-
diction over the institute because it
comes under the head of educational
institutions. lie will justify his re-
moval of Steward Sheridan, If per-
mitted to do SO, by introducing the
testimony of a female employee who
claims Mr.. Sheridan made improper
advances. The Jurisdiction of the
board Is supposed to be the strongest
defense and If the case has to go into
court it is believed by some lawyers
that DIR. Fall will win.

PUSHING THE SUGAR BEET
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Deter

WASHINGTON, May 11.-"Having dis

900 farmers" said Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wilson last night, II want to

ject now and show to the capitalists,
as we'll as to the farmers, where they
can afford to make such experiments
and enter upon such business invest
ments as are rilsely to be q success
financially and otherwise. We are go
ing into the sugar business in this
country IN dead earnest. We have
supplied in the last few weeks
90, 100 farmers Of the country with
sugar beet seed for experiment
during the coming season. They are
scattered through practically every
state north of the extreme southern
line of states. The people as far south
as the Carolinas, Tennessee and Texas
believe that they can grow sugar beets
successfully, and we are quite willing
to give them full opportunity to make
hat test everywhere. IL they succeed
in extending the beet sugar territory
down to the very line of the can sugar
area, there ought to be no difficulty in
producing in the United States all Of
the 500, 900, 900 worth OF sugar for
which we are now going abroad every
year.
''You think, then, that there is CAPT
tai in the country ready to go into the

Undoubtedly, and plenty of 1t. A
number OF factories are already in pro-
cess of erection and people with capital
are willing and ready to establish
many more Of them as soon as they de-
termine what sections of the country
IRE best adapted for practical beet
sugar production. i hope to have a
broad line extending across that map
