CIVIL SERVICE
FOR DEPUTIES

A movement is on foot to bring
the deputies Of the city treasurer's
and comptroller's Offices under the
civil service. 1t Is proposed to
amend the city charter by the
adoption of laws similar to Seat
tie ordinances. The present hold
ers of position as deputies In the
city h<ll would not be compelled
to take the civil service examina-
tons, but would continue to hold
on until removed for cause or left
of their own free will, The po-
lice and fire departments are now
practically under civil service. and
it Is predicted that sooner or
later the same system for deputies
will prevail in this and all the
large cities.

EARTHQUAKE
CRAFT

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. %
Chimney inspection subsequent to
the earthquake and fire is to come
up for review before the grand
jury is through with it's present
investigation.
During the five months immedi-
ately following April Is on an av-
erage of 400 men were employed
by the city to inspect the chin
neys and flues around town and an
ordinance imposing fine of not
more than $500 for using an unin-
spected chimney was passed. A
fee of 81 per flue was charged by
each inspector, and as each in
spector inspected on an average Of
Is chimneys per day, total
amounting to thousands Of dollars
was realized from this source.
Considerable comment was
raised recently by complaint
made by Auditor Horton, who de-
clared that the reports Of the cash
received through the inspection
were very slow in coming in, and
were very incomplete when re-
cived. AS a rule the friends Of the
members of the administration
who were In the employ of the
chimney inspector each received
81 per day. In many cases the
men SO employed had no knowl-
edge whatever of the materials
used in their work and were no
more competent to Judge the
efficacy of the chimney than the
owner himself. The supervisors
will be asked to account for this
money received from the chin
ney inspectors and also to explain
the reasons for delay in reporting.

CHILD MADE
LONG TRIP

Little Japonica Kissell, daugh-
ter of Mrs. G. V. Kissell, E224
Sprague av., was brought back
home this morning by her step
father, who found her with the
postmaster at Tum, Tum, "a miles
down the river. He made the re-
turn trip before Deputy Sheriff
Hamlin, who delayed starting un-
til he had received definite word
as to Japonica's whereabouts, had
left town. So much trouble had
been stirred up over Japonica that
Miss Kate Hubbard, matron of the
juvenile court, decided to ask the
sheriff to send for the runaway as
soon as she was found. Miss Hub
bard has had charge of the girl
before. Mrs. Kissell heard Of ia
ponicas whereabouts about the
same time the sheriff's office did,
and Immediately emplored her hus-
band to get her before the sheriff
did.
Japonica is full OF contrition and
promises to never, never run away
again. She told her mother, be-
tween sobs, that she started out in
that direction just to take , good
long walk. She met a farmer who
asked her where she was going.
She told him that she lived out
that ay; that her father had come
to town and got drunk and she de-
cided to walk home. Japonica has
run away many times before, and
Miss Hubbard may insist that the
parents give her over to the ju.
venile department and have her
sent to the reform school.

CARUSO IS
CONVICTED

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Caruso's
case was called this morning. Com
missioner Mathot, VINO prosecuted,
was unable to secure the presence
of Mrs. Graham and alleged she
had been offended and refused to
testify in fear Of notoriety. Mathot
attempted to air the actions Of
Caruso at a fashionable Fifth av.
ball last winter. Dittenhoeffer ar
gued for the defense.
Mathot was handicapped by fail
ure to produce Mrs. Graham and
confined his argument to plea
for "the defense Of American
womanhood from such beasts as
Caruso." He failed to touch upon
the evidence further than to say
the woman refused to face such
a crowd of dogs and perverts as
crowded the court room, eager to
hear a good woman slandered." He
defended the police and begged for
the conviction Of Caruso. The
court found Caruso guilty and
fined him $40.
Mathot said: "No matter which
way the case was decided we are
not yet through with Caruso. We
have other lines we intend to
work on him"

CHIEF WALLER TELLS
STORY OF CONFESSION

the same story Of the confession
as published at the time. After
examining the house early on the
morning the murder was discov-
cred and noting blood stains and
keyholes stopped with cotton bat
ting, he suspected Sidney Sloane.
He took the boy in charge and
found $50 in blood stained bills in
his pocket. Sloane's first story
that man named Riley had COM
mitted the crime for the purpose
of robbery on information furnish
ed by the defendant was related in
detail, and the detective then pro-
ceeded with his recital of the sec
ond admission made to Chief Wall
er and witness at the police sta
ton.
According to the witness the
confession was made behind the
locked door of the detectives room
at the police station, but the de-
PENDANT had been informed that
he was not compelled to make
damaging admissions against him
self and had the right to advice
from an attorney.
The wheel barrow, ak and rugs
mentioned in previous testimony
were introduced as evidence yes
terday. The blood stained tan
shoes which figured in the case
were identified as the property of
ledger at the house. They had
been left on the steps to be thrown
away and are supposed by the
officers to have been stained while
the body was being removed.

COPS CAN'T GET
HORSES

The report that policemen are
refusing to get horses for mounted
duty is untrue, according to the
"coppers" who have been assigned
to that duty. The backwardness
of the men in getting mounts is
due to the fact that horses cannot
be bought at reasonable prices in
the time the men have to get
them. There is talk of setting
some day and place for farmers
to bring in sound saddle horses at
a reasonable price. 1t had been
rumored that the men were refus-
ing to get horses in the hopes that
the city would buy them for them.
