OH, UNCLE JOHN!
He Will Test the Elevator Inspecting
Ordinance

Uncle John Bryson, ex-mayor and
owner of the Bryson block, was before
Justice Owens yesterday to answer to
charge of refusing to comply with ordi-
nance No. 16S, which requires all elevators
to be inspected and the fees for such in
vestigation to be produced by the owner of
the elevators. Uncle" John did not think
he should produce. so he proceeded to test
the case. He claimed that as the elevator
was used by the public and was in the
building for the accommodation Of the
public, those profiting by such an elevating
luxury should be the persons to pungle
the fee.
Another point raised by the defendant
was that the charter does not give the
council right to charge fee for the in
spection of elevators. The question of the
validity of the ordinance was thus raised
so Justice Owens took the case under adj
yisement

Those Civil Service Gases.

At Washington on Tuesday Justice
Harlan handed down the opinion of
the United States Supreme Court in
the cases of A. B. White, collector
of internal revenue for the district of
West Virginia against Berry, Butler
and Ruckman, appealed from the Cir
cult Court of the United States for
West Virginia.
The appelIees were gaugers and
storekeepers at the Hannis Distillery
in West Virginia, and Mr.. White,
who was appointed to the Office of IN
ternal revenue collector by President
Mckinley, announced his purpose to
remove them and appoint Republicans
to their places. They resisted re-
moval on the ground that, as they
were employed under the civil-service
law, they could not be removed except
for cause shown and proven.
In the West Virginia Circuit Court
an order was issued sustaining the
appeIIees and restraining and inhib-
iting White from in anywise interior
ing with the plaintiffs in the posses
sion of their office and the discharge
of their duties.
1t was contended, on behalf Of the
government, that the Circuit Court,
sitting in equity, as it did in the case,
was without jurisdiction to entertain
the suit. The opinion accepts this
view of the matter, reverses the Cir
cult Court and does not, therefore, en-
ter upon the merits Of the various
questions involved. Justice Harlan
said:
If the assignment of some one to
duty as gauger at the Hannis Distil-
lery in the place OF the plaintiff did
not work his removal from Office,
court of equity ought not to assume
to control the discretion which the
Executive Department hasln all mat
tiers. Interference by the judicial de-
partment would lead to the utmost
confusion in the management Of exec
utive affairs.
