WASHINGTON. July ls.-CiVil Ser
vice Commissioner Brewer. who pre-
SIDED over the civil service investiga-
ton At Concord last week, has return
ca. Mr. Brewer stated:
Il have no knowledge Of the ding OF
the charges against me By Senator
Chandler and I care nothing about IT.
II Mr.. Chandler has any personal gFiev-
ance toward myself in regard TO my
conduct Of the examination he. Of

THE commission had been led to pre-
sumo that there would be no dif1culty
in supplying persons who had knowl-
edge Of the charges which took the
commission 70 Concord. So far as 1
know none Of the persons asked BY
Governor BuHlel appeared, and while
quite . number Of persons appeared
they were mostly those that had re-
ceiVed a circular letter which the COM
mission on It's arrival sent out to those
living In the immediate vicinity. So
far a. 1 recoiIect now no one who APP
peared claimed to have knowledge Of
Senator oallinger's connection with the
sending out Of the campaign circulars.
Senator Chandler In letter he sent
to the commission dated June /, made
the positive statement and specific
charge that Senator Galllnger had pre-
pared the matter for those circular let
ters, had caused them to be printed and
sent them out to federal office holders
ana that Senator Gllllnger had prepared
q list OF federal once holders to whom
they were to be sent. This was not
from hearsay. but with q positive state
ment, and. Of course. we assumed he
had personal knowledge. In his state
ment at the hearing. however, he very
frankly said that he did not see the
circulars nor did he personally know Of
the mets.
Special Agent Wales is still on the
case and will hear some other persons
whose names were presented to the
commission as supposed to have some
knowledge OF the question involved. On
his return all the evidence will be taken
up and passed upon. 80 far. however.

PHILADELPHIA, July ls.-What is
probably the first cargo Of silver and
silver ore brought from the west coast
Of South America to an Atlantic coast
port of this country, has reached here
on the British steamer Rentizern.
Slowed away in her hold are 1929
sacks Of high grade ore and GOO bars Of
pig silver, valued at over $4,000. be-
sides an assorted cargo worth $4,000
more. The steamer left Guayaquil.
Ecuador, on April Is last and stopped
to pick up o general cargo at various
ports.
The silver comes from mines high up
in the mountains OF Bolivia, which are
worked by English and American
miners. 1t must be carried many miles
on the backs of mules to Autofogasta.
the nearest seaport. The lack OF smelt-
ing facilities makes It necessary to ship
most OF the ore out OF the country. but
It is said to be rich enough to stand the
added expense.
There is no record in the custom
house here of any imports of silver ore
to this country from South America,
and no duty is imposed on such q cargo

saughtering houses operated therein
before the adoption of the ordinance,
IL ON the provisions of which they were
expressly given immunity. The court
held the ordinance to be unconstitu-
tional because it granted to cel tam per-
sons privileges which were withheld
from all other citizens, being unreason-
able and oppressive and calculated to
create a monopoly. Each member of
a municipal corporation, proceeds the
court, lis required to share the burd-
ems incident to such organization; but,
at the same time, all are entitled to
share and participate equally in all
benefits to be derived from such gov
eminent. An ordinance which would
make an act done by one penal, and
impose no penalty for the same act
done under like circumstances upon an
other, could not be sanctioned or Sus-
tanned, because it would be unjust and
nreasonable''-citing Dillon on Munic-
ipal Corporations, Sec. 236.
The case of the City of Lakeview vs..
Tate, $50, ILL.,. 247, was where an ordi-
nance of the city had attempted to reg
ulate the speed of railroad trains run
u
railroads ran parallel through the city.
The Common Council. by the provisions
of an ordinance, divided the city into
two railroad districts-an east railr DAD
district and west railroad district-ani
provided that no trains, running
within the limits of east rail-
road district, should be run at
greater speed than ten miles an
hour, but made no limitation as
to speed in west railroad district
through which a competing line ran. TIL )
court held that, while the rate Of speed
of railroad trains running through the
city could be regulated, there must be
such disparity of circumstances as to
justify the application of different reg
ulations to the different roads. and that
the circumstances in this particular
case did not show any such disparity
and, therefore, the ordinance limiting
the speed of trains running through
east ailroad dist let wi hout suchl mi "a
ton uponth the road running through ives
railroad district, was void because I'M
reasonable. Although" says this
court, the subject matter and pro-
visions of an ordinance be left to the
discretion of the city Council. such di.-
erection is not absolute, but is subject
to the limitation that the ordinance
must be reasonable" This rule is TO-
lowed in State VS.. Human, 65, Ill. 1C3,
in which the court say: while the
power of the Legislature to impose re-
strictions upon the exercise of certain
trades and professions for the protec-
ton of the public is unquestioned, it
must be exercised in conformity with
the constitutional requirement that
such restrictions must operate equally
upon all persons pursuing the same
business or profession under the same
circumstances.

cannot be sustained which selects par
ticular individuals from a class or To-

if the Board of Trustees, in the exer-
else of that power with which it is in
vested, of passing upon the legislative
policy in such cases as the one at bar,
determines that the business of pool
selling largely parts with it's evil effects
when carried on under certain condi-
lions and circumstances, then all per-,
sons have the right to pursue the call
ing under like circumstances, which
they are certainly prevented from doing
by the provisions of this ordinance.
1t becomes unnecessary to pass upon
the question of fact presented by the
record and made one of the points here,
as to whether or not the evidence was
sufficient to justify the conviction of the
defendant
Holding the foregoing views 1 am
constrained to declare the ordinance
