Waterbury Democrat., 1902-04-05

Civil Service Commissioner Foullxe has. designed a system for promotion in the government service whereby he hopes to eliminate the factor of polit- ical influence and what he terms ''the personal preference equation.'' As is apt to be the case when the civil ser vice commission contemplates re- form, various conflicting and greatly exaggerated stories have been circu- lated in regard to this new move. With a view to securing uniform promotions effected only by the ca pacity and deseryingness of the candi- date" said Mir Foullze, i've have out fined a method which I will explain, but first you must understand that this reform is purely tentative, that it will be experimented with exclusively in our own offices until such time as it has proved itself practical and effec- tive and that, even here, it will not be adopted until the new commissioner. MT Garfield, has met with us and given it his approval. Our plan, so far as outlined, consists of a general record of efficiency which, in competi- tion for promotion, will count as GO points, and an examination which will count for 40 points. The general rec ord will testify to the quality of the work, promptness and regularity of attendance, etc. There are many gov ernment employees who are capable of filling their present places, but who have not the capacity to fill higher po- sitions on account of their limited ed ucation. These will be prevented from advancement beyond their ca- pacity by the examination In reply to the suggestion that where political influence existed it could be used to effect the adjustment of the general record so as to secure promotion, NIr Foulke said that he had considered that possibility and had further con- sidered the advisability of having the record kept by a committee in each department or bureau, which commit tee should be elected by the employees. Would not all you are seeking be bet ter accomplished by an order from the president to his secretaries to the ef- feet that all promotions were to be made on a strictly merit basis?' was l asked. That would help q great deal," said MT Foulke, but if we can perfect this system and the president orders it's adoption that will amount to practically the same thing

BANK SHUTSITS DOORS
Inability of Sugar Concern to
Meet Liabilities the
Cause.

Grand junction, Colo, Jan. 6.-Tha
Colorado State bank was today placed
in the hands of W. T. Dowrey, as as
signee. Cashier J. 2. Mcfarland is
sued a statement TO the effect that the
closing of the bank was due to the in
ability Of the Colorado beet sugar fac
tory to meet certain notes due to the
bank of Hanover, n. Y, and that in
order to bring about the most satisfac-
tory settlement for all concerned it
was decided to close for a period Of
two or three weeks.
Mcfarland is also manager of the
beet sugar company. Some time ego
the bank secured the loan of $50 GOO
from the Hanover National bank of
New York for the Colorado Sugar COM
pany of this city.
The New York bank recently forced
the collection Of the loan, thus COM
polling the local bank to suspend. A
meeting Of the directors of the sugar
company will be held this week in
Denver to take steps for the protection
Of creditors. 1t is claimed the bank has
deposits of $780, and within three
or four weeks will resume business.
The Colorado State bank closed it's
doors in 1898. but was recognized with
in a short time afterward. T. NJ Jones
is president.

NASH SAYS THE CORPORATIONS
SHOULD BE UNDER STATE CONTROL

ought to make sure of this fact by a
report made to some competent officer.
We should go further and require
these companies 70 make annual re-
ports. to be filed with and be inspect
ed by this officer. This report could
show. among other things, how much
Of the capital stock had been paid, how
the money is invested, what the assets
are, the amount of liabilities and the
names of the stockholders. In fact.
there should be such a record of every
corporation, that the people may know
at all times whether it is worthy of
credit and confidence. I believe with
some such regulations Ohio corpora
items would be placed upon a solid
financial basis.
THE publicity which would be given
By such action could not. by any posi-
biiity, injure really worthy and sound
corporation. 1t would protect the pub
lie against unworthy and falling cor
poratiOns. As matters now stand. the
secretary Of state knows nothing about
| a corporation after it leaves his Office
with charter from the state. He can
not even tell how many Of the 40 900
or more corporations chartered by the
state during the last fifty years are
now dead, nor how many are still lv-
ing. The state creates the thing. al

TO HAVE TELEPHONE.
Line Is to Be Extended to Thunder
Mountain District.

Line Is 70 Be EXTENDED TO ThunoeI
Mountain District.
Work on the construction of the pro-
posed telephone line TO Thunder noun
tain will commence as soon as the nee
essary material can be secured, and it
is expected that within a comparative
~ short time the new gold district Of
northern Idaho viii have telephone
connection with the outer world. At
least this is the statement Of Manager
George Y. Wallace of the Bell Tele-
phone company Of this city.
Orders for the material to construct
the line are being placed now and il
is expected that within a short time
men viii be put to work building ne
line. Mr.. Wallace stated that he did
not know at present what route would
be selected for the line, but he was in
clined to think that it would run from
Boise City by way Of Idaho City, then
up into the mining acmp.
Mr.. Wallace believes that X is only a
question of a little time when the new
camp will be connected by several lines.
as there are now several lines to min
ing camps in that state that could be
connected with the Thunder mountain
district. The cost of this line is esti-
mated at not less than $50 900, which is
about $500 a mile, the average cost per
mile Of a standard line.
The company proposes also to extend
its lines from the Mackay and Wood
river section to a dozen or more Of the
leading camps, and it is estimated that
all this work will occasion an expendi-
ture Of not less tnan $3.50. 600.

DEsERTER FROM SHIP NOT EX-
EMPTED By NATURALIZATION.
MIST GO BACK TO RUSSIA

Washington. Jan. 6.--Justice Brown
Of the United States supreme court to-
day delivered the opinion Of THAI court
in the case of Leon Alexapdroff. the
Russian subject, who is under appre-
hension in Philadelphia on the charge
Of being a deserter from the Russian
cruiser Nariag, holding that Alexan-
droff should be restored to the Russian
government.
In delivering the opinion Of the court.
Justice Brown outlined the history OF
the case, relating that the proceeding
had been Instituted by Alexdndroff to
avoid an order from the vice consul of
Russia or the commanding officer of
the Russian cruiser Variag. He said
that Alexandroff had come to this
country as conscript and part of a
crew detailed to take charge of the
Variag, which was under construction
IN this country under an order from
the Russian government; that the yes
sci was still IN the stocks when he ar
rived, and that it was afterward
launched; that he remained here with
other members Of the crew during the
winter of 1900-1901, receiving pay for
his service; that in April of last year
he deserted and left Philadelphia and
went to New York where he took out
naturalization papers. While there he
was arrested and returned to Philadel-
pbia on complaint Of the Russian vice
consul.
Justice Brown held that the orders
naming AlexandrOff as a part of the
detail to take charge Of the vessel was
sufficient proof Of his membership of
the crew Of the Russian warshtp, and
that such order took effect when the
Vrrug launched
also dealt with the treaty between this
country and Russia providing for the
surrender Of deserters from Russian
nlen-of-war, holeing that It applied in
this case. The opinion reversed the
opinion Of the circuit court Of appeals
for the Third circuit, which was favor
able to Alexandroff.
Justices Gray, Harlan and White and
Chief Justice Fuller united in a dis
senting opinion delivered by Justice
Gray, who held that the provision in
the treaty between the United States
and Russia applies only to a finished
ship and the crew on board of such
ship, and not {. ship in the stocks.
The Variag at the time of Alexan-
droff's desertion was doirg neither ma
val nor military duty, and to surren-
der the prisoner TO the Russian gov
eminent was not in conformity with
the treaty with that government; nei-
Their could his surrender be urged on
the ground of an observance Of the
comfy Of nations, as that plea could
not be held to apply in the absence Of
express treaty stipulation. The treaty,
Re said, should be construed like any
other contract and it should not be
stretched or strained in favor of an
other nation.
