THE GOLD NUGGET CASE.
Brown Pleads Not Guilty and Is Held
for the Grand Jury.

Joseph II. Brown, who was arrested
Tuesday by Detectives Tyser and Trumbo,
charged with the theft of two nuggets of
gold, valued at about $500. from the Ma
tional Museum. pleaded not guilty in the
United States branch OF the Police Court
yesterday and was held in bond of 81 900 to
await the action OF the grand jury.
The important testimony heard in the
case was that of an old gold dealer. who
said he bought quantity of the precious
metal from man whom he identified as
Brown. This gold, it was said, though
pounded into pieces, was recognized as
part of the alleged stolen nugget.
Brown is about forty years OF age. He
lives on Washington Street, Anacostia
For fifteen years he was a watchman at
the National Museum. During that time
he showed a high order OF intelligence.
and about two years ago was promoted
to clerkship In this position he proved
himself to be valuable employe and was
regarded as a trustworthy man by his
superiors.
The nugget of gold in question was
missed from a case in which it was exhib-
tied at the Buffalo Exposition last Octo-
Der. 1t is claimed that Brown worked his
way into this case by the use OF a false
key. though the lock was an intricate
affair.
The accused man has wife and several
children.

Requirements of Regulations.
The proposed regulations require that
when vacancy occurs in any class ex-
cept the lowest. the board of promotions
shall certify to the Commission for pro-
motion the highest eligible in the class
next below that in which the vacancy
exists. which eligible shall be promoted.
Many complaints have been made in re-
gard to alleged unjust promotions and the
need is felt of adopting suitable promo
tion regulations throughout the service in
order to avoid the criticisms that promo
tiOns are frequently made as the result of
favoritism or influence. Section seven Of
the civil service law provides that no per-
son shall be promoted until he has passed
an examination or Is shown to be special
ly exempt from such examinet tion. An ex-
animation into the relative efficiency of
employees as shown by their efficiency
records. and such further practical tests
as may be necessary. are regarded as con-
stituting an examination for promotion
within the meaning OF the law.
The proposed regulations will not re-
ceive final consideration until the arrival
OF Commissioner Garfield.
