REJECTS OLD ELIGIBLE LIST.
Fraud at Former Examination Prompts
New Test for Police Surgeons.

The Municipal Civil Service Commission
has adopted resolution calling for new
examinations for police surgeons. No
date for the examinations has been set.
There is now list with sixty-one names
on it. The examinations from which it
resulted were held in January 1902 While
the examinations were going on il was
discovered that the questions prepared
for the first day had been circulated in
advance among a certain set of candidates.
All that could be done was to throw out
the results Of that days examination and
order a new one, On this occasion every
possible safeguard was employed to prevent
a repetition of the fraud.
Both the Civil Service Commissioners
and the Police Commissioner were at the
time said TO regard the list as tainted, The
law saws that when list has been obtained
it cannot be abolished until at least year
after its PRONUNCIATION. After that time
it is at the discretion of the Civil Service
Commission 10 provide for new list.
a year has now gone and We are at
liberty to act said President Willis l..
Ogden of the Civil Service Commission
vest erday. ~Our only reason Ia that we
suspect the old list to have been obtained
under circumstances that we're not quite
regular If there he any traces of fraud
left here, we are going to have 1t rooted
out"
Some OF the physicians whose names
appear on the old list are much dspleased
at the action Of the commission. and say
that it is an injustice to them. They also
saw that the examinations by which the
old list was created were very costly and
that the holding of new ones causes an
entirely unnecessary and very considerable
expense.
Just what the making up Of the Old list
cost the city could not be learned yester-
day. Some physicians asserted that SIS 900
had been spent on it. Mr.. Ogden admitted
that it had been very expensive affair.
and that the bills turned in by the experts
had been 30 excessive that legal action was
threatened in order to secure compromise.
Some Of those experts demanded 81 a day
for their services.
Mr.. Ogden insinuated that measures will
be taken to keep the expenses Of the new
examinations within reasonable bounds
There are no vacancies for police surgeons
at present, and il will be five or six months
before the new list can be ready, Should
any vacancy occur in the meantime Gen
Greene is at liberty to avail himself Of the
existing list which does not become invalid
until the new one is made.

GANG MEMBERS LET GO.
Maglstrate Breen Discharges Them for
Lack of Evidence. but says He's Sorry.


The crooks arrested on Monday night
and early yesterday morning in the effort
to clean up East Side gangs were arraigned
yesterday in the Essex Market police court.
One Of them, who said he was Abe Cohen,
was held for examination to enable the
police to have analysed the contents OF a
vial found in his pocket, supposed to be
knockout drops. Philip Livaccori OF 432
East Eleventh street. who carried black
jack, was held for trial and James Liochi,
VINO had revolver, was fined $40.
The Central Office detectives preferred
charges Of vagrancy against the others.
Tho first of the alleged Migrants was John
Williams, a negro, whose picture Is In the
Rogues' Gallery. 1t was in the nature OF
test case for the others.
He is thief with no visible means OF
support" said Detective Sergeant Dunn.
"Can you swear that he does not work
and has no visible means Of support"
asked Lawyer Pearlman, who appeared
for several Of the prisoners.
well, to the best OF my knowledge,
can, replied Dunn.
Williams swore he drove truck, and the
detective could not refute the statement
Magistrate Breen then said:
Il am entirely satisfied that the police
intend to suppress these gangs, which
have terrorized this section, and It is a pity
that they are confronted with legal techni-
calities as in this case. There IL not enough
evidence in this case TO convict this man
as a vagrant and am sorry for 1t. can
not 60 beyond the law, as much as would
like TO do it. The law plainly defines what
must be shown to prove vagrancy, and
must discharge this man. hope the police
will devise some method of getting after
these people and will heartily cooperate
with them"
Joseph Brown. Monk Eastman's pal.
was the next prisoner arraigned.
Il work as a driver and help support
my parents" said he.
Il want to say to you." declared the
Magistrate, shat you people had better
go to work instead Of trying to fight the
police. You can't succeed and you will be
suppressed. The sooner you realize it
the better for you. I am sorry to have
to let you 60
The evidence against the others was
equally insufficient to establish the charge
Of vagrancy, and they were discharged.

Mr.. CARNEe1Es gift of 100000 to Booker T.

Mr.. CARNEG1E's gift of 100000 to Booker T.
Washington is sure to meet with appreciation in all
sections of the country. The recipient is too big
man to be hurt by big income, altho the fact That
he possesses it will undoubtedly increase the number
of his detractors. He worked for his race without
thought of reward when he wore rags and he would
be just dislnteresed if he owned the entire stock
and bond issue of the steel trust. Booker Washing
ton has ceased to be regarded as an individual: he
is an institution There is question but that he
is the right track to solve the negro question,
if indeed he has not already found the soution but
to educate the rest of his race to things from his
point of view requires money and time. The former
Mr.. Carnegie has provided and it was one Of the
best things he has done with his money
And apropos of Mr.. Carnegie's gift, it is note
worthy fact that practically all the assistance the
Tuskegee school has received since it's organization
has come from northern philanthropsts The rich
men of the South appear to take but little interest
in the school, perhaps because they fear they would
be meeting it's principal equal social grounds
should they advance the cause he advocates. This
condition of willingness to permit others to shoulder
the responsibility to be chronic all through the
South. Writing from Chattanooga to the Chicago
Reco,a-Heyuld concerning conference Of southern
educators held in Richmond, Va. last week. William
E. Curtis says: se r<ass.
"The delegates from the North are mostly rich
philanthropists who have contributed large sums of
money for the schools of the South. The delegates
from the southern states arc almost exclusively
teachers, college professors superintendent of edu-
cation and others who assist in spending the money
subscribed by the northern delegates This con-
ference similar in this and other respects to those
which have been held annually for six or seven years
in different southern cities. The delegates have
always been distinguished in similar manner-rich
men from the North and poor men from the South.
The rich men from the southern states the bankers,
merchants manufacturers, railway presidents and
others of large means, and rich men OF southern
birth in New York. Baltimore Philadelphia, Chicago
ST. Louis and other northern cities pay attention
to these gatherings"
The North had to free the slaves and now is
called upon to do more than it's share to mold their
descendants into citizens When the work is &C
complished, as it will be in few more generations
! the South will reap the benefit

bodiment of refinement and of re-
fining and restraining influences, to
take the initiative in restraining
men from corrupt, immoral or evil
habits. When women place them
selves behind bars to dispense
whisky and beer, whether it be in
Europe, America or Asia, they and
their sisters who lend their ap-
proval, place themselves on level
with debauched, immoral, unchris-
tian men. Not only this, but they
lend their encouragement to acts
of debauchery and depravity, tend
ing to drag men down, rather than,
lift them up. In the case of the
Glasgow agitation it is argued by
some that instead of the sudden
dismissal of so many women who
know how to do nothing but sell
whisky and beer, they should be.

dismissal. True it is, that dismis-
sails are disagreeable and often
work much hardship, but it is to-

bartenders will soon take a more
advanced view of civilization and
find way to exist without selling
whisky and beer.
