burned. The younger Garrison aroused
some neighbors about 200 yards away,

In the first role he bought seven pairs
Of s. gloves at a Fifth avenue establish
ment and under another name he got q

Finally he got a Job with one Steckler,

with three fancy waistcoats worth sl2
each on the first day and was caught the
next day trying to run of with a roll OF
cloth worth Sos. He worked with a Lenox

to get change on a pair of 81 so shoes which
he had sold to Mrs. Sophie Johanson of

COMPLETE CURE BY

regarding Cuticura Remedies. When
my little girl was about a year and q
half old there developed small pimples
on her face which went into q scale
which threw off q little watery, sub
stance. Her head wa also affected with
it. She used to scratch until it bled,
making very bad sores. We tined two
or three ~salves, including borax. They
did not do any good, so l got some
Cuticura Soap first, and then used the
Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills.
They completely cured her, and We
have had no more bother with it.

OPPOSE NEW FRACTION PLAN.
Chicago Interests Say Money Cannot BE

CHICAGO, June Representatives Of the

the Federal Court adversely criticised
to-day the plan for a proposed ordinance
for final settlement, as given to the local
transportation committee Of Council yes
ter day by Walter L. Fisher,
One of the several provisions to which
they object relates to the right Of the city
at any time, on purchase, to turn the prop
erty over to another company. They assert
that that leaves open the possibility OF the
yiduals to get hold OF the properties for
them after 1t is on a paying basis.
@We cannot raise q single dollar on an
ordinance like that proposed said an
official. There is ready in New York many
times the amount Of money we need for
improvements but we canno get a cent on
a plan such as containedin that outline. The
investor in the securities must be guaranteed
a fair return for his money

M'ADOO'S ACTION UPHELD.
Court Rules That Complaint Clerk Corkill
Was Not q Regular"

The case OF John j. Corkill, who was
appointed complaint clerk In the Police
Department by former Police Commits
sioner Partridge and dismissed by former
Police COMMISSIONS McAdoo, was decided
against him in the Appellate Division OF
the New York Supreme Court yesterday.
Corkill applied for reinstatement on the
ground that he was a regular clerk" and not
subject to removal. without trial. The
court held that a regular clerk was one
whose duties were purely clerical, and
therefore came under the competitive
examination system. Corkill had been
appointed without examination.
The court ordered that the judgment
and order should be reversed and the pro-
ceedings dismissed. The opinion was writ
ten by Justice j. j. Miller. The decision
is said to be far reaching, as 1t settles the
definition Of regular clerk and prevents
appointees exempt from examination from
pleading the privilege OF trial on removal.
The decision was granted on argument
by Frederick l.. Taylor, who appeared
for the appellant, Robert B. Saul, appointed
to Corkills place by former Commissioner
McAdoo

SPECIAL TERM HAS CAUGHT UP.
Ono Branch OF the Supreme Court Now
Even With Its Calendar.

Following on the heels OF the signing by
Gov. Higgins of the law creating eight new
Justiceships of the Supreme Court, in this
department., it was announced yesterday
by James b. F. Smith, clerk of the Special
Term of the Supreme Court. that for the
first time in ten years the Special Term
was right up with its calendar.
Any litigant with a Special Term case
that is, a suit in equity, or where a jury
is not needed, the questions Of issue being
legal onee and not matters of fact-can have
it tried within a month if the case is ready
for trial. The quickest time heretofore
has been from eight to eighteen months.
The trial term, however, is still two
years behind, but the Justices hope that
with the help of eight more associates next
year much can be done toward bringing
even the trial calendars right up to date.
