inal branch Of the Supreme Court, where mo-
ton for dismissal of the indictments In the bar

. ceive of anything that warranted the motion

took an exception to the ruling, and announced
that his clients pleaded not guilty.

move the cases for trial next Tuesday or
Wednesday, and Wednesday, after some objec-
ton on Mr.. Howe's part was decided upon, JUS
tice Fursman stating that the trial must begin

cided that the three prisoners should be tried
separately. and that Barrow should be tried
first.

asked to be relieved of the case. on the score Of
he would excuse him if Abraham Levy. who
was in the courtroom, would take the case. Mr..
Levy said he could not possibly do it, whereupon
Justice Fursman said that both lawyers would
have TO take the case together. They objected
strenuously, but the Judge insisted and they
had no alternative but TO consent.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORMERs REPLY


A STATEMENT GIVEN OFT DEFENDING THEIR
CRITICISMS OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
George McAneny secretary Of the National Civil

following In connection with the statements OF
Secretary Gage In regard to the comment OF the
League on President McKinleys order OF May %:
There Is no statement in the address Of the
civil Service Reform League 10 which the inter-
view OF Secretary Gage relates. that is not based

Der Of offices the President has taken from the

that through the operation OF this order such Of

stantiated not only by the facts in the League:
possession but by reference to the official files and
reports OF the Civil Service Commission itself.
The terms of the amendments affecting transfers
ton. regarding which so much has been said. were
quoted literally. The announcement now made
behalf OF the Administration, that the opportunl.
ties for evasion OF the law these amendments Of
not lessen IN any degree the necessity OF pointing
out how dangerous those opportunities are or
how seriously the integrity OF the system will be
threa tened long as they remain.
The League has been perfectly fair in every ref.
erence IL has made TO the conduct OF the Amin

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY PENNSYLVANIA cTvU,
SERVICE REFORM ASSOCIATION
Philadelphia. June 9-The Executive Comnit,ss
Of the Pennsylvania Civil Service Reform Associa.
tion to-day adopted the following resolutions
The Civil Service Reform Association Of Penn.
President Mckinley removing upward OF nina
thousand officers heretofore in the classified seryics
from the operation Of the Civil Service Jules nd
regulations inasmuch as II involves violation not
only OF party but OF personal pledges concerning
public policy. Any direct and unequyocal Violation
such as this lowers the whole tone OF pubic Ufs
and creates In the minds OF the people distrust OF
all pledges concerning public affairs The order Is
10 be viewed with regret for still further reason
In that II Is distinct step backward and fraught
with great danger to the public service.
Whether or not II Is true, asserted by some
that the order Of May 6. 1896 unduly extended the
classified service without adequate preparation
nevertheless. inasmuch as upward OF three years
have passed since that time, thereby giving the
service ample opportunity 10 adjust itself 10 the
new conditions and to correct any inconsistences
or mistakes, there was clearly need for such an
absolute throwing open OF the offices 10 the spoils
system. which time and again has been demon
and adequate administration Of government The
recent order is all the more regrettabe in that /.
comes. not In response to any public demand az
evidenced I'm the press or through resolutions a
public-spirited bodies, but solely in obedience TO
the demands Of politicians hungering for the spolls
The encouraging feature of the situation is the
boldness with which reputable party organs have
not only repudiated the Presidents order but have
severely criticised his backward step This is In.
deed, refreshing and indicative OF an independent
spirit which can only work out good results.
