 INTO BIG UPROAR
ONE MAN SHOOTS ANOTHER WHILE STREETS ARE CROWDED WITH sIGHTsEERs-RoUeHs POUR IN FROM THE BoWERY.

New York, October 17.-Chainatown was thrown into an uproar tonight at an hour when 1t is thronged with sightseers and the curbs are lined with automobiles. when. for no apparent reason, one China man shot down another on the side walk in Moot street. Instantly confusion reigned in all the narrow street, and from the Bowery there poured in a horde of roughs intent on taking advantage of the opportunity for plunder. One tourist was rescued by detective from man who had pushed him into hallway and de- manded his watch and comrades of the highwayman attacked the detective until other policemen arrived and arrested three men after clubbing them into sub mission.
 Nearly an hour elapsed before the po- lice reserves managed to clear the streets and restore order.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN
 AVOIDED ENTIRELY
MIR. ScHIFF TALKS TO ACCOUNT. ANTS ABOUT THE REGENT DIS. CLOSURES IN CONNECTION WITH LIFE INSURANCE.

New York, October, 1S.-Jacob H. Schiff. the banker and until recently a director of public accountants at the associations annual dinner at the hotel tonight that members of their organization had they been requested by the proper authorities to do so, might have made impossible the conditions which have been disclosed by the investigation of insurance companies now in progress.
 With notable exceptions, directors of great corporations have been thoughtless and too trustful" said MT. Schiff, ''and in the face of recent developments, the lesson need be learned that acceptance of corporate directorshlp brings definite duties and responsibilities, at least of moral character which need be actively looked after, and courageously dis charged.
 "The present situation with the lasting and wholesome effect 1t will without doubt exercise has, however, much that must be discouraging to men of self-re- spect. The very men directors of great insurance companies, who in face of pe- culiar system and conditions have at least made the endeaVor tO uirect, nave coIhe in for particular criticism, not only for discovering shortcoming of executive of- ficers, but alike for the legitimate con- duct of their own affairs"
 MT. Schiff said that conditions which now are claiming the attention of inves- tigators and public, were largely due to the fact that unprecedented development and success of corporate interests in some instances led executive officers to forget that a corporation cannot be administered like a private concern, and that executive officers owe accountability to those from whom they derived their powers.

GIVES THEM BIG LATITUDE.
WeII-Informed Men Are Inclined to Think That the Power Is Ger

BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, October H.-(Special)-No one familiar with government depart mental work, the men in charge of 1t, and the jealousies, prejudices and bick- erings in the departments, will hesitate in deploring the order of the President today for summary dismissal from the government of employees by the President or members of his cabinet.
 It Is a direct and square blow in the face of the civil service law for the req son that the power is certain to be shame fully abused Hundreds of men will be kicked out of the service without any explanation excepting that they were in efficient" when as a matter of fact they were dismissed because they had made themselves objectionable personally or otherwise to the head of the department, or what will more often happen, objec- tionabe to one of his pets. It is ridicu- lous to suppose that the secretary of an executive department would know any thing about the efficiency of the force under him except by the reports of his subordinates, such as a private secre- tary.
 Off Comes John Jones' Head.
 Therefore when a private secretary, chief clerk or head of a division reports that John Jones is inefficient" or has "misconducted'' himself, off goes John Jones' head. The statement that the heads of the departments will exercise sense and judgment in making these dismiss sals is not only gratuitous, but absurd, for all that the head of the department will know about the case in hand comes from his pets and he will nave no time. much less inclination to make an inquiry as to the truth of the charges against the accused.
 Cnder the law before 1t was so shock ingly amended today charges had to be filed against a man marked for dismissal and he had a right to be heard, and 1t was the civil service commission which passed upon the case. As it Is, sweeping discharges can be made in any of the departments and there will be no hearing granted the dismissed man. One can very well see the outrages which can be per- petrated under the new law. If parti- san wanted to get in his work he could deplete the civil service of all persons to whom he was politically opposed.
 And to think that this new order which is certain to do so much harm to the civil service law and work incalculable injury to many worthy employees of the government was all brought about by stupid chauffeur of a government auto mopne running his machine in the way of the Presidents carriage.

Washington, October 17.-(Special.)- Representative Burleson of Texas does not anticipate the abolition of the cotton reports from the department of agricul- ture next winter and even goes so far as to express the opinion that the apropria- ton for the collection of these statistics will be equally as large as 1t was in the last congress While the cotton scandal has undoubtedly injured the standing of the agricultural department, MT. Burle- son believes the departments reports are too valuable to the cotton growers to be discontinued.
 Even when juggled by Holmes says MT. Buyleson, 'the government reports were a great deal more accurate than those of the cotton brokers. The brokers reports invariably over estimate the croE and decrease the price of cotton. With

Witness Becomes Angry.

The superintendent was pressed so hard by counsel regarding police in politics that he became angry and started to make statements that startled the com mitteemen. He said if the committee wanted to know the whole truth about the police business he could tell them how Director Smith told him to take care of repeaters and how he had to take from the rogue's gallery the photographs of men who were on the police force In vain the chairman tried to check him and threatened to eject him, but Superintend- ent Taylor kept on.
 One of the attorneys said the committee did not want to know anything about that, but wanted to know how the homes of the people were protected.
 'Tll tell you" exclaimed the witness. By men who have spent three and four years in the penitentiary. and whose pie lures were taken from the rogue's gall lery by Director Smith,"

Hughes, the counsel for the committed asked questions that Mir McCurdy was reluc- tant to answer or evaded, and were made by the crowd that stood at the back Of the room, which long ago proved made uuate to accommodate the counsel and witnesses summoned and the crowd of spectators that increases with every hear ing.

Amendment is Sweeping.

Washington, October T.-An amend ment to the civil service rules, sweeping and comprehensive in it's character, was authorized today by President Roosevelt. Hereafter a cabinet officer will have the power to remove summarily and without hearing any civil service employe in his department who to the personal knowl- edge of the head of the department has been guilty of misconduct or who is in efficient in the performance of his duties. By the terms of the amendment the cab inet officer must have personal knowl- edge of the misconduct or inefhciency Of the amploye whom he proposes to dis charge With this personal Knowledge. the power of the head of the department is absolute
 The amendment authorized today Is one of the most important and far-reaching made to the civil service rules in many years It confers upon cabinet officers practically unlimited power as to the personnel of their departments. The amendment is made to rule 12, section 2. which provides that the appointing off, cer in the executive civil service shall report In detail to the civil service com mission all changes in their departments as soon as made and the reasons for making them Heretofore in every case in the removal of every civil service en- ploye charges had to be filed against the person whom 1t was proposed to remove, and the employe was given time in which to meet the charges with such defense as he might have to make
 EmpIoye Has No Recourse.
 Under the authorized amendment such proceeding will not be necessary. A head of a department may discharge an em- ploye for misconduct or inefficiency with the simple statement to the civil service commission that the misconduct or inef- ficiency is subject of his personal ob- servation. The discharged employe will have no recourse. It is said the amend ment was made at the instance of the members of the cabinet, who hold that under the present construction of the civil service rules they are often unable to deal properly with cases of miscon- duct and inefficiency of which they are personally cognizant. Assurance is given that the amendment was not made to ap- ply to any particular case now pending It's purposes. as stated. is to improve the discipline of the departmental forces
 The amendment was discussed by the cabinet at it's meeting today and ap- proved unanimously.

achievements are indissolubiy con-
Icctcd with the early history of this
part of the West. While in many re-
spects as opposite as the poles, both
were men OF the highest honor and
integrity, and in selecting their names
for the title of its organization the
club has recognized the virtues of
two of the most illustrious of their
countrymen whose field of accom-

The primary object of the Pike and

a healthy public opinion in relation
