MIR. PHILRIN's ECONOMY.
HE FINDS THAT GARDENERS STAFF WAS
FAR TOO LARGE AND EXTRAVAGANT

District Attorney Philbn made no changes in
his star of assistants, clerks subpoena servers
yesterday, although il is rumored that more will
come Mr. Philbin has already asked for and
ceived the designations Of twelve OF the men whom
Asa Bird Gardiner gathered around him. The sal
aries Of these twelve aggregated S5l 500 year In
their stead Mr. Philbin has appointed seven new
men at salaries aggregating s32 100 This practically
finishes the reOTga nzation Of the law department.
but Mr.. Philbin will doubtless find more room for
economy among the subpoena servers. who far
mere numerous than necessary. and also among the
clerks. whose number Mr.. Gardiner increa sed to an
extraordinary extent. Mr.. Philbin is expected TO
effect a saving to the city of $4,000 year in
salaries alone.
Sotwithstsnding the reduction Of the staff, the
work OF the office goes much more regularly
Systematically and expedtiously than IL did under
the lax and nerveless rule of Mr.. Philbin's prede-
ceSsoF. 1t is interesting fact" said a lawyer
yesterday, that, while Tammany denounced Gov
ernor Roosevelt for removing Gardiner the only
hope OF the Tammany purifying committee which
croker himself appointed TO purge the organiza-
non OF its lawbreakers, lies in the unimpea ched
integrity of Mir. Phlbin. II Gardiner had remained
in office, poor, distracted Lewis Nixon would have
been obliged TO announce his entire lack of conf
cence In the District Attorneys office Just as he
has done concerning the Police Department

If not serious accident. He is a car
penter by trade and while working was
startled by the cry of his companion
from above. CHANGING up he just had
time to see a sixteenp pound hammer
falling directly towards him from the
next floor above. He threw his left
hand above his head and caught the
hammer upon 1t, but had the arm
broken at the wrist. lie received the
necessary medical attention from a
nearby physician. Had the hammer
missed his arm and struck him on. the
head the result would have been more
serious.
