FTEMPT CLERK IN AGAIN.
Court also Practically Holds Bureau
Heads Not Memorable.

1-etf~e Clarke Of the Supreme Court, yeste--
say in a decision declared IN effect that bureau
,eads and regular clerks are not removable
&c they come within T1e provisions q the pro-
..-ted positions IN the Civil Service. II the de-

-iU remove from The exempt class many Of the
more important bureau heads and leave Tam
many Hall in desperate straits.
Justice Clarke's decision reinstates William s
Tsjjln,an as chief clerk in the coroners office. an
exempt position. Tiiluan was removed in No
,-srber, 1902. He is a well known lieutenant
NJ John c. Sheehan. The coroners appointed
him chief clerk in January. 1902. at a salary Of
about $1,000. and such he served till the
following fall. Then came quarrel following
the encounter between District Attorney Jerome
and a clerk in the coroners' Office. and a bill was
introduced at Albany aboIishing the Office Of cor
oner IN this city. There was a prospect Of the
bill passing, when a reorganization of the Office
was effected. Mr.. Hillman was dropped and a
Republican took his place as chief clerk
When Hnlman was removed he employed
CrandaH & Hunter, who sued out a writ of
rnandamus. compelling his reinstatement. on
the ground that he was regularly employed as
q clerk that his position was not a confidential
one and that Section 1913 Of the charter pro
tected regular clerks and heads of bureaus from
removal. Justice Clarke upholds Nj. CrandalTs
contention in every particular.
Under a recent decision OF the Court Of APP
peals an enploye wrongfully removed can sue
the appointing officer and the man who took his
place for salary.
II has been said that basing their contention
on the same provision Of the charter, James S.
Collins. superintendent Of highways. and Will
sam H. Michales. superintendent of sewers.
whose salaries are $1,000 each, had refused to
resign. Borough President Aheam denies that
they refused TO resign. They came 10 him, he
said. and protested against their removal. de-
daring they We're not subject 10 such action.
Mr.. Ahearn told them he was sorry. bur that
he had been informed by the Board OF Civil Ser
vice Commissioners that they We're in the eX-
empt class. He made George F. SCannell Eu-
perintendent of highways and Matthew F.
Donohue superintendent of sewers He told the
men that he would receive their written protests
and submit them 70 the Corporation COunSei.
Since then he says he has heard nothing froIn
them.
Il is said that Water Register Eastmond. Of
Brooklyn, left office under a similar protest
Justice Clarke says that Hillman's duties were
purely those of a clerk in the coToners' Office
