MAY EMPLOY AGENTS.
How Aims of the Retirement Associa-
ton Nav Be Presented to Congress.


Civil Service Commissioner Cooley has
written the following letter to Mr.. Jacob w.
Starr of the Retirement Association, re-
garding the matter of pushing the aims OF
the association before Congress:
Referring to the conversation I had
with the committee Of the Retirement Asso-
citation yesterday morning, In accordance
with their request 1 submitted the ques-
lions you asked to the President at my in
terview with him yesterday afternoon. He
informed me that he was willing that your
organization should collect such funds as
might be necessary to defray the expenses
of employing actuaries to present your bill
to Congress, and such other incidental ex-
penses as might be legitimate. He also
raises no objection to your urging the bill
upon the attention of Congress under such
restrictions as the civil service commission
preScribeS.
II therefore have the honor to state, in
my Judgment, this work should be under
taken by your executive committee, and
that the members of the Retirement Asso-
citation should be informed that the eXecu-
tive committee will take entire charge of
the campaign; no member of the association
not on the executive committee should at
tempt in any way to influence a member of
Congress- and the members Of the execu-
tive committee should confine themselves
to appearing before the committees having
the proposed legislation under considera-
ton, or to explaining to the members OF the
committees the reasons why the bill Is urged.
The executive committee is also at liberty
to answer all questions that may be ad-
dressed to 1t by any member of Congress-.
This authorization is in the nature of an
exception to a general policy that has been
laid down. and 1 therefore urge most
strongly that your organization should be
very careful to comply strictly with the
suggestions contained in this letter"

professors and the students responded Wig

Burgess, congratulating him on the sue
cessful beginning of his work, and also had

VIEWS OF CONTROLLER.
Statement Regarding Peoples Savings
Rank


Mr. Ridgely, the controller of the cur
rency, stated to a Star reporter today
that a number of statements had appeared
in the newspapers during the last few days
relative to what had been or would be
done in regard to the Peoples Savings
Bank which were more or less mislead-
ing to the creditors and the public.
The controller, therefore, desired to say
that nothing will be done in regard to the
bank which does not meet the approval
Of the controllers office, and that any an
nouncement in regard to it will be made
by him. If nothing is done toward the
reorganization of the bank by the di-
rectors. the receiver will, as soon as the
claims are proved and the checks can be
made, pay a dividend of from 40 to 80 per
cent from the cash now on hand. AS soon
as the other assets can be realized upon,
further dividends will be paid. This work
will be done as expeditiously and eco
nomically as possible, SO that the creditors
will receive their money as quickly as 1t
can be raised. and with the least possible
reduction for expenses.
The first condition in any plan adopted
by the directors must be that the creditors
shall be paid in full at once.
Mr.. Ridgely declined to express any
opinion in regard to the possibility of the
Peoples Saving Bank being reopened, but
stated that it was always the policy OF
the controllers Office to encourage and as
sist efforts with that end in view.

COURT OF LAST RESORT
Case Will Be Taken Up for Final De-
- termination.
1HMsEN CALLS THE METHOD OLD
He Declares That the Petitions Have
Always Been Made Up After
the Present Plan.

Special From STAR Correspondent.
NEW YORK, October 81. The poll
ticians who are cudgeling their brains
to figure out the possible effect upon
the vote in this city Of the decision
of the appellate court decision In ruling the
Hearst candidates for local offices off the
official ballot. 1t appears to be possibly
two-edged sword that may cut both ways.
Certainly it further involves and embar-
rasses this already much bedeviled politician
situation. Let me explain briefly what was
done. In order to run an independent candi-
date, he must be nominated by a petition
circulated among the voters, containing
certain number of signatures OF voters who
desire his candidacy. To save time and
money the Hearst party evolved a scheme
whereby each petition bore the names of
the candidates for Congress, assembly and
senate, and then In each assembly district
gathered the requisite number OF sigma
lures.
AS there are several assembly districts
in each congressional district and more
than one in a senatorial district, more
than the requisite number of signatures for
senator and assemblyman were obtained
in this manner. The court held that this
plan was defective, saying: The absolute
impossibility of determining whether the
aggregation Of the names upon each GER
ttfcate Is sufficient to nominate in each
particular district as well as to nominate
the officers for the whole municipality Is a
fact that we can consider in determining
whether 1t was the intention Of the leg
islature that Independent nominations
should be thus made. These considerations
which might be considerably extended, and
others, which but for the lack of time,
we might mention. have satisfied us that
IT was the intention that the certificate
of nominations Of independent bodies for
each district should be separate and dis
tinct.
It is impossible to treat q certificate as
sufficient to nominate for one office therein
named and to treat the attempt to nominate
for the other offices as surplusage, because
there is not a test by which 1t can be de-
termined for which Office it can be consid-
cred valid certificate of nomination. Our
conclusion is that such a certificate Is in
valid for any purpose and for that reason
the order appealed from and the determi-
nation of the board Of elections is reversed
Court Of Last Resort.
The case will be appealed to the court Of
last resort, the court OF appeals, II it is
possible to get it ready in time. but that is
doubtful. AS for the effect of the decision
as 1t stands opinions vary. The only GER
tainty is that 1t will help Hearst's vote as
the head of the ticket. provided any stress
is laid upon the proviso
The Independence League men do not
jump to the conclusion that they have been
tricked by Hearst It must be noted that the
names of Hearst, the state candidates and
the Judiciary candidates were put on the
ticket in conformity with law, and only
these candidates for local offices were put

Dear Sir.

Dear Sir
hereby make upon your committee
a request that in your official call for the
next republican state convention you
provide, not only for the nomination OF
state officers to be voted for by the people
but also for the nomination of United
States senator, to be voted for by the
state legislature.
Both of our federal senators we're in
effect nominated by the state convention
which preceded their election, but with
out notice to the primary voter that such
nomination would be made.
To bring this practice of nominating
United States senators by the state con-
yention into harmony with our new
primary law affecting nominations, there
should be due notice to the electors that
such nomination will be made, SO that
the will of the ordinary voter may find
expression in the voice of the conven,
ton
Should your committee not find itself
competent to provide in its call for such
nomination, then this is to give general
notice that resolution will be offered in
the next state convention, providing that
it proceed to the nomination of United
States senator.
make this request public in order
that the voters may be advised in season
that if they wish to nominate candidate
for United States senator in the state
convention, they must enroll under the
primary law, Monday next.
If they do not enroll, they will lose
their right to take any part in that nomi-
nation or any other state nomination from
governor down tn the foot of the ticket.
Yours respectfully,
ARTHUR HILL.
