POWER OF REMOVAL.
Judge Cor at Washington Decides Against
Civil Service Hules.

Washington. Sept. 14.-Judge Cox OF
the Supreme Court OF the District Of
Columbia today dismissed the bill of
complaint of John q. Wood. superin
tendent of mails at Louisville, saying
that Postmaster General Gary and As
sistant Postmaster General Heath he
enjoined from removing from office
The case has been considered In the
nature of a test of the power of re-
mOyal, and the delivery of the opinion
drew to the court room many public
officials including members of the Civil
Service Commission.
Judge Cox said: ~ know OF nothing
more important to the interests of the
country than the policy which the civi!
service legislation was intended to in
itiate and to promote. and 1t is per
haps matter of great regret that the
act Of January 10. 113. the civil ser
vice act. has not gone further than 1t
does. But it is my duty to cOnstrue
the law as ii is.
ITO sum up ! concluded that apart
from the civil service act the post
master general had the authority to re
move the complainant from office at
his pleasures: that this law makes no
change In this respect. except to for
bid removals for refusal to contribute
to partisan objects; that the power Civ
en- the commission and the President
to establish rules to carry that act into
effect does not authorize any rule
which shall make a change in the law
In this respect. and consequently that.
even If this court had jurisdiction in
case like the present one. the com
plainant is not entitled to the relief
prayed
1t is probable that an appeal will be
taken from the decision and it Is said
ultimately the United States Supreme
Court will be asked to pass on the

Eastern Lines Hesitate About Put
ting the Increased Flour IaFih
Into Eject.

This agreement on the part OF the
St. Paul-Chicago lines to maintain the
party rate of $500 between the two
cities-entered into some few days ago
does not appear to amount to. very
much, for the roads went at it yes
terday hammer and tongs with gang
of fifty-five Italians from the West,
bound for Chicago, as a casus bell1.
The best information which can be Sc
cured is to the effect that the men
went down over the Burlington at $3.50
a piece. This, of course, Will puncture
the agreement full of holes, and will
lead to further decentralization in this
class of business until all the Italians
have come in out of the West for this
year.
1t is claimed that the weaker lines
made the first break from the tariff,
and this led to the rate made by the
Burlington. The shopping was done by
several leaders instead of by the en-
tire gang, and operations were kept
rather quiet They claim that they
were offered 1918, and so on down to
S., when the Burlington stepped in and
captured the business. Representatives
of the other strong lines are naturally
Fut out and VOW that, if the agreement
is to be thrown down, they mean to
have share Of the business even at
an absurdly low figure. There prom
1ses to be some rare siashing unless this
breach is healed up in some way.

INDUSTRIOUS eoNvIcTs.
Their Time spent in Counterfeiting
Half-DOlIaPs.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Warden
z. S. Wright, of the Riverside peni
Tertiary, has discovered that a num-
Der of the convicts confined in the in
stitution have been manufacturing
counterfeit fifty-cent pieces. He has
urearthed the metal from which the
queer money was made, the moulds
in which it was cast, and the names of
several convicts who were connected
with the matter, but as yet he has been
unable to find the man who originated
and carried out the scheme. The coun-
terfeits are magnificent specimens of
the coiners art. The die from which
they were made is almost perfect, and
the milling of the coins, which is the
governments chief protection of metal
money from those who would initiate
il. is as near perfect as it is possible
for human ingenuity to make it, and
that such coins could be made within
the walls of the Riverside penitentiary,
with the crude implements to be OBJ
tanned by the prisoners, is the startling
feature Of the case.
The counterfeiters had already Sc
cured a connection with. outside par
ties and some of the bad money is now
in circulation. Warden Wright has a
list of nearly a score of convicts and
persons supposed to be connected with
the counterfeiting, and when the full
story of the crime comes out. 1t is
said, there will be some sensational
developments.
