REBUKES HEADS
OF DEPARTMENTS
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
SETTLES CASES
Superintendent Frankhouser Of Fire
Alarm Telegraph Is Ordered
to Remove Battery
Man

The civil service commission Is In a
rebuking mood.
Three cases settled yesterday par
take Of a call-down nature.
superintendent r. w. Frankhouser
of the fire alarm telegraph lost in his
controversy with S. l.. Strock, former
navy yard employe who wants to be
lineman or repairman. Frankhouser
will be ordered to take Frank Messacar,
whom Lighting superintendent Mana
han suggested for the work, out of the
battery room and back to lineman's
duties and If repairman Is needed the
superintendent is instructed to send n
reuuisltion for one. AS Strock Is on
the eligible list he will then have a
chance for appointment. In the mean
time the examination called for January
10 by mistake is declared off This eX-
animation was for repairman, although
there was q man left on the list, the
aforesaid Strock.
Nicholas Butterfield, who intimated
that there was rottenness in the adj
ministration of the outfall sewer, had
his feelings smoothed over by the COM
mission. Butterfleld resigned as sewer
flusher to become assistant superlnten-
dent of the outfall sewer under Col
Charles F. Derby. He was adjudged
insubordinate there and dropped. Thus
he lost his standing. The commission
adjusted matters by changing the rec
ord to read that Butterfield had merely
taken "leave of absence" His name
therefore goes on the eligible list for
sewer flusher.
Though Butterfield's charges are not
formally before the board Secretary
Spalding was instructed to ask him if
he meant to prefer charges against an
official high up in the service. Butter"
field declared last night that he had
not fully made up his mind.
w. A. Register, teamster for the
chain gang, will get three months
wages at 81 a day for himself and a
team. Register was appointed by Chief
Auble but not in accordance with the
strict rules of the civil service, hence
after he draws his pay he will be dis
charged, though admittedly a very eff
cient man. The police department will
have to draw new acquisitions for team
ster and every man ahead of Register
on the list can be sent out to the gang
and may at the pleasure of the depart
ment be discharged '"for inefficiency"
till Register is reached, when the job
will be his permanently If he wants it..
Both Capt. Auble and Capt. Feltz Of
the chain gang testified favorably for
the man.

During the latter part Of Lord Curzon's
vice regency the native unrest became SO
serious that there was a prospect that par

question under advisement. The presence

Of the forces in India, however, allayed

by some when Lord Curzon resigned that

ulated by his unfortunate university con-
vocation speech at Calcutta. in the course

among the people and appeal to their latent
hatred of the British. It is possible that
in consequence of these agitators a general
ant-British sentiment may be evoked and
brought to focus, but the government Is
apparently fully aware of the possibilities

Unrest in India,

Disquieting reports come from various
parts of India regarding the unrest of the
native population. Trouble has been brew
ing there for some years. The successive
famines have been more than the British
administrative system could successfully
handle. Yet. ignoring the difficulties. many
OF them caused by their own customs and
traditions. the native people have In very
large measure held England responsible
for the occasional devastation of the land
There has. 1t is believed by unprejudiced
observers. been some laundering In the
management of the Indian question on the
part of the. government at London. But
In any estimate of the case 1t is always
necessary to remember that England Is
not dealing with homogeneous popula-
tIon subject to no other authority. It has
to do with an enormous mass of people
divided into tribes. religions. castles and
races and all more or less loyal to the
limited sovereignty Of native princes.
The chief problem OF Great Britain In
India has been to administer the affairs
of the empire in a manner to give the
least offense to the people on the one side
and to their native rulers on the other.
Thus, to cite a single instance OF England's
embarrasssments. the coronation durbar at
Delhi was projected on a scale of great
masnihceuce in order TO crafty the native
rulers, who dearly love to participate In
gorgeous spectacles. In order to accomplish
this result sum was spent SO vast as
TO impose a serious burden upon the already
highly taxed people. Whether thi. v..
wise must rest with historians Of later
times to answer. BUTT IL not to be denied
that the present troubles In India are the

The birth of a royal heir Is always an
event of great interest to the world. The
coming Of the Spanish prince at Madrid
today is especially an occasion of interna-
tional rejoicing and congratulation. The
little chap means a great deal to Spain and
that country is correspondingly enthusi-
astic over his arrival. The union of King
Alfonso and an English princess was espe-
cially happy, In many respects. Politically
it was an alliance Of Importance. Senti-
mentally 1t was gratifying to the world to
see two royal lovers SO evidently in love
with one another. 1t was a wholesome
spectacle in these days of misalliances and
political matches. The sterling good sense
of the young queen won for her universal
admiration.
Now that Spain has an heir apparent It
Ia to be hoped that he viii prove lusty
babe. and will grow into a sturdy youth
and a strong man. His father is not such
a man, nor was the kings father. But on
the English side he comes from substantial
stock. His mother is the possessor Of per-
feet health. His maternal grandmother Is
now at the age of fifty with a prospect
of long life. Her husband died eleven
years ago of a fever contracted while en-
gagged in a South African campaign. He
was a strong man and his grandson should
have inherited stable qualities.
The world will watch the future king of
Spain with great interest because Of the
happy circumstances of his birth With
the entire nation celebrating, with the
country In a way to prosper In the years
to come. with no serious political problems
menacing, his future should be brighter
than that Of many other royal heirs.
