ONE EXAMINER TO
DO ALL THE WORK
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
ADOPTS INNOVATION
Committee Of Three Will Select Chief
oulzzer, Whom All Applicants for
Jobs Must Fsee--No Added Cost
ls Involved

The civil service commission last
night took favorable action on the old
proposal to engage the services Of an
examiner In chief who will devote his
entire time to examinations.
Secretary spaulding stated that the
city was growing so fast. new offices
were being created with such regu-
larity and so much detail work was
being piled up that relief was neces-
sary The present plan is to pay fees
to experts for doing the examining of
applicants.
"It is very essential that we have a
permanent examiner who will give his
exclusive time to checking up papers
as they do In the service of the gov
ernment." said Chairman Haynes. HE
will make studies day by day and find
Improvements. The government uses
this system, too"
Both Commissioners Miner and Nc
Cutcheon approved the idea, remark
ing that good man who inspired
confidence and who had general
knowledge of the subjects on which
tests are made was wanted.
An old report was then resurrected.
under which a committee was named to
suggest suitable candidates for the
Office.
Commissioner Young remarked that
good examiners were scarce and he,
with two fellow commissioners, were
appointed to get a suitable man for
the place and TO make the necessary
rules.
The plan is to give the examiner a
separate office with filing facilities, an
opportunity to study in the specialties
in which he examines and authority to
hire monitors to assist him when nee
essary.
"He can acquire knowledge fast
enough even if he is not an all around
scholar" remarked Judge Young.
The new system viii add no extra
expense.

years since Peggy from Paris" was
produced at the Studebaker theater
in Chicago, and Arthur has been right
there with his shoulder to the wheel
all the time. There is never a moment
when he is on the stage that he is not
energetically giving value received.
Arthur is a unique character on or
off the stage An athlete of no mean
ability he once held the wrestling cham-
pionship Of northern Michigan and is
an ardent admirer of all forms Of
sports. The writer met him a few
days ago on the train and after
pleasant chat and a laugh over some of
Arthur's new jokes. as a parting bit
of advice he whispered, Put a small
amount on Charley Neary next Tues
day night; he can't lose"
This teaches us that a good actor

MOTHER AND SON
FIGHT FOR AUTO
BOTH CLAIM TO OWN THE
MACHINE
Woman Has a Bill of Sale Which the
Man Asserts Was Secured
from Him by High
waymen

On complaint and search warrant
sworn out by his mother, Fred Seigert,
chauffeur, was yesterday deprived of
the use of his automobile and a con-
templated trip to San Francisco nipped
in the bud by the appearance of Of
ficers who, after a struggle, took pos
session of the automobile and carted it
away to the storage house to await
dGrther developments in the case.
The story told by Mrs Kathie Sci
gert of South Spring street yesterday
in the justices court was a peculiar
one. She alleged that her son had
snort time ago married a spiritualist
and that since that time he has been
constantly causing her trouble.
According to her statement, some
months ago Seigert, at the suggestion
OF his wife, who is said to be many
years older than he, eloped with his
automobile, or rather his mothers auto
mobile, and went to Tonopah. The
auto is an Elsmore, four cylinder ma
chine, and Seigert has a stand in front
of the Angelus hotel and rents the
vehicle.
The mother followed quickly to the
mining fields and managed to get DOS
session of the machine and brought it
back to Los Angeles. The son and his
wife followed, and young Seigert again
acted as chauffeur.
Recently, according to the mothers
statements, she learned that the spirit
ualist was again advising a trip, this
time to San Francisco.
| In an attempt to keep the automobile
in Los Angeles the mother swore out
the search warrant, and Deputies Jack
Adams and Holman went out to
serve it.
Tries to Lock Automobile
According to their statements the
chauffeur listened quietly while they
read the warrant to him, and then like
flash leaped toward the steering gear
to snap lock on it and prevent the
officers from driving the machine away
Deputy Holman anticipated the
move and leaped upon the chauffeur,
and the two rolled to the gutter.
AS soon as the officers allowed Seigert
his liberty he again attempted to slip
one of the vital parts of the machine
and prevent its removal He was again
frustrated, and the officers carted the
automobile off to the storage house.
Mrs. Seigert claims the auto by right
of original purchase and by second
bill of sale secured from her son dur
ing his trip to Tonopah.
Young Seigert yesterday alleged that
the bill of sale was secured by desperate
men, who held him up in the desert
for no other purpose than to have him
sign up bill of sale giving the auto
mobile to his mother.
The case will be thrashed out in the
lower courts in a short time.
