STATUS OF A DEPUTY COLLECTOR.
Richmond Collectors Case Before
Attorney General McKenna.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The case of the
collector Of internal revenue at Richmond,
Va, whose removal of deputy collectors
just after his assumption of office created
much interest at the time, and against
whom charges of violation of the civil SER
vice laws were made, is now before Attor-
ney General McKenna, for decision on
points submitted by the civil service
commission as to the status of deputy
revenue collectors.
The questions submitted by the commits
sion follows: Are deputy collectors of in
ternal revenue officers of the United
states? Does the term of office of such
deputy cease by reason of the going out
of office of the collector under whom he
was appointed and the taking of Office by
a newly appointed collector? Are they
properly in the classified service and sub
Ject to the provisions of the civil service
act and rules?
The commission in a brief transmitted to
the attorney general, submits that it will
certainly appear that deputy collector is
not only an officer under the most approx
ed definitions and under the decision made
by eminent jurists, but that the statutes
themselves expressly and distinctly recog-
nlze deputy collector as United States
officer AS to the second question it is
argued that the deputy holds over until
his successor is duty appointed and that
an affirmative act, not only on the part
of the collector himself, but of the COM
missioner of internal revenue is a sine
qua non in vacatlng the office of duly
appointed deputy.
AS to being classified, the conclusion as
a commission follow: 'That the provision
of section 1853 Revised Statutes and of the
civil service act are not inconsistent, or
in conflict with the provision of other
statutes relating to the appointment of
deputies of internal revenue; that the
Presidents action in directing their classi-
fication was following the clear intent of
congress, as indicated by the precedents
established by congress itself; that their
classification is distinctly authorized by
the direct language of statue and that
this authority has been duly and regularly
exercised, and deputy collectors of inter
nal revenue are in the classified service
subject to the provisions of the civil SER
vice.
