 Stature.
ONE RAILROAD MAN IN
But He Is Seven Inches Short--Qucs- tions Propoundcd to the
 Candidates.

Eight candidates, all Italians in ae- cordance with the limitation placed by the civil service commission yea- terday afternoon, took the gXamlna- ton offered for detectives in the New Haven police department It has been the plan for some time to add an Italian to the department in the de- tectlVe bureau,At the examination held few weeks ago for supernumariea only one If the three Italians who | tried the mental test passed and af- ter that the board If civil service held meeting and determined to hold another supcrnumerary examination in order to get other Italians on the eligible list before an appointment was made. Although the legality of such restriction of an examination to any | particular race was questioned the examination was appointed and start ed at o'clock yesterday. The eight l Italians who essayed tho test were Frank Sposa of the railroad detective force. Francis Nicolari, on the fire l department at present; Jeremiah Cap ella, Henry Gianelli, Louis Coppoln, ! Fred Popoliz2io, Carmine Formisano and Charles A. Pastola.
 According to the rules of the de- | partment a candidate for the force must be five feet nine inches in height and must not be over thirty years of age. As these rules were not sus- pended by any vote before the adver- tisemcnt for these examinations were sent out 1t is difficult to see how sey- eral of the men who took the cXamin- aton yesterday will bc eligible no matter how high they may stand. Sposa is seven inches below the regu- latiou height, standing only Hye feet two inches according to his applica- ton, Nieulari Is an inch below the standard, as Is also Capella and For- msano is five inches, too, sbort, Me olari Is also thrty-six years of age which is over the regulation made in that matter.
