CHANGE CIVIL SERVICE RULES
Classification of Detectives Must Be
Altered, According to Mem
bers of Board

The civil service classification of the
police department will have to be re-
vised for detectives, class which now
is not specified under the civil service
rules, detectives being considered as
patrolmen.
This change in the classification is
due to the fact that there are no
eligibles on the civil service lists for
police sergeants and three more SER
geants are to be appointed for the Uni
versity and East Los Angeles sub
stations. DR.. John r. Haynes, the civil
service commissioner who has charge
of the police department. recommended
at the meeting of the commission last
evening that detectives who have served
two years as patrolmen be considered
eligible to become sergeants. AS the
classification Of detectives is not recog-
nized by the commission the feature
must be provided. There are no eli
gibles for captain, Acting Chief Auble
being the only man in the whole service
who has ever taken the examination.

ILL. CEN.SURVEYORS AT
WORK ON ITS NEW LINE
Twenty Men in Camp Near LittIeton,
Projected Line Will Run from
Jackson, Tenn.

Reports reached Birmingham last night
that the Illinois Central Is actively at
work surveying q line from Jackson.
Tenn, to Birmingham by way of Shelf
field.
The surveying party, numbering twenty
men, is camping on the Bibby coal lands
near Littleton.
1t was stated last night by trustworthy
authorities that this survey work will be
pushed with all possible speed and that
the Illinois Central will at the earliest
practicable moment construct line from
jackson, Tenn, to Birmingham.
In this connection it is recalled that
the Illinois Central made a contract six
or eight months ago with the Frisco peo-
pie to enter Birmingham over the Frisco
tracks. The official announcement that
this contract had been made mas not yet
been denied nor has there been any re-
port that this contract has been multi
fed.
1t is reported now that the contract
with the Frisco does not prevent the
Illinois Central from constructing the
Jackson Birmingham line. The fact that
the surveying part at Littleton is diligent-
ly at work indicates, in railway circles,
that the Illinois Central has determined
to own and operate line of its own with
a Birmingham terminal.

HOLDEN RESIGNS
AS In INSPECTOR
HAD BORROWED MONEY FROM
STOREY COTTON COMPANY,THE
OFFICERS OF WHICH ARE FUGI-
TIvES FROM JUSTICE.

Philadelphia, April 2-George c. Holden,
the inspector in the United States postal
service attached to the Philadelphia in
spection division, who admitted yester-
day that the Storey Cotton company, most
of whose officers are fugitives from JUS
tice, advanced s11OO to him as a loan for
few days, has sent his resignation to
Washington. Holden declares that he re-
ceived the money and paid 1t back few
days later, without any understanding or
agreement with the Storey Cotton COM
pany that he was to protect the concern
against investigation by the postoffice de-
partment.
He, however, admitted that in accepting
the loan from that concern he was indis-
crete and thought 1t best in view of the
revelations in the case to send in his re-
sgnation to the postal authorities at
Washington.
The discovery that Holden received a
loan from the Storey Cotton company
was made Thursday, but not made public
until last night. A record of the loan
was found while Assistant United States
District Attorneys Stewart and Swartey
of this city were making an examination
of the books of the defunct concern, for
The purpose of getting further evidence
against Stanley Francis who is under ar
rest charged with being an officer of the
Storey concern. Holden was present when
the discovery was made. The loan was
entered in the general cash book and read /:
April 49, l9O2-George Holden, sl10O."
When the entry was shower to Holden
he was greatly surprised to find that it
had been entered on the books. His ex-
PLANTATION at the time that 1t was a per-
sonal loan.
The matter was Immediately reported to
w w. Dickson, inspector in charge of the
local division, who in turn communicated
the facts to the chief inspector at Wash
iLgton.
BY direction of Postmaster General Cor
telyou, Inspector Mayer of the New York
division has been sent here, and Is making
an investigation of Hoden's connection
with the Storey Cotton company. Inspec-
tor Mayer started work on the case yes
terday, and returned to Washingt on,
where he had a conference with Chief
Nickery He came back to this city to-
night to continue his investigation He
declines to discuss the case in any way.
Holden says that 1t was a personal loan
from F. e. Wartz Storey, and he believes
that the item was placed on the books to
do him Injury. Since the loan was made,
he says, he has sent three separate re-
ports to Washington recommending that
fraud orders be issued against the Storey
concern.
