automobile association in the Empire state. 1t
seems that the trouble was brought TO head By
the contemplated action OF the state body re-

latter objected to and therefore rendered its

MAYOR TRIES TO
END CONTROVERSY
Holds Conference Concerning
Appointment of Waite by
Works Board

The clash between the civil service
works over the appointment of A. N.
Waite, relative of Commissioner Day,
to succeed John ]. Tierney, as fore
man of the carpenter shop of the de-
partment, has been taken up by Mayor
Taylor in the hopesof Strengthening the
tangle. The civil service commission
objected to the board reducing Tierney,
civil service employe, to the rank of
carpenter, to make room for Waite,
who is not on the civil service list,
and Auditor Roster refused to allow
Waite's demand as foreman when the
matter was called to his attention
The works board next sought to get
around the civil service board and the
auditor by abolishing the Office Of fore
man and appointing Waite an assist
snt superintendent of construction, -
with duties the same as those pre-
viously performed by Tierney as fore
man. Again the civil service board
demurred, and the works commissioners
obtained an opinion from City Attorney
Long that they had the legal right to
appoint Waite assistant superintendent
of construction. Auditor Roster is in
clined to differ from Long, and has not
yet said whether or not he will allow
Waite's demand
The civil service commissioners re-
gard the acts of the works board as
an endeavor to defeat the provisions of
the charter, and in consequence there
is friction between the two depart
ments. To bring about a more har-
monious state of affairs Mayor Taylor
summoned the members Of both COM
missions yesterday and listened to their
contentious.
Commissioner Day stood firm in his
position that the appointment of Waite
was legal, while Commissioner Brady
OF the civil service board held that the
charter was being violated.
Mayor Taylor declared himself in
favor OF strict obeyance of the civil
service rules. He suggested, however.
that it might not be wrong TO permit
commissioners to use discretionary
power when they hoped to gain better
results for the city, always provided
that this discretionary power never be
used to evade civil service. The con-
ference came to an end without any
decision being arrived at and II is
likely that the commissioners will be
brought together again within a few
days.

freak found and exhibited by w. l..
Dent of Dent & Dahl, 257 North vir-
ginia street 1t is a chickens head
strangely like a miniature head of a
cat, a monkey or. in some respects a
human being. There is no beak or
BILL but instead a perfect nose with
nostrils and identical in formation to
that OF monkey or a man. The
mouth is likewise well formed, the up
per lip or mandible being perfect while
the lower is slightly bifurcated. There
is none of the characteristic horny for
nation of a bill or beak, but on the
contrary the integument is flesh like
and typical of the face of man or
beast.

ORDERS WOLF TO
GRANT CERTIFICATE
Judge SeaweIl Issues Writ of
Mandate to Commissioner
of Insurance

peremptory writ OF mandate order
ing E. Myton Wolf. state insurance
commissioner. to issue to the CONNER
cial Union assurance company certif-
cate OF authority TO transact business
IN California was granted by Judge
Seawell yesterday Wolf has with
held the certificate since July, 1907,
claiming that the company had for
feited its right TO a certificate because
II had transferred a number of actions
in which it was the party defendant
from the superior court to the circuit
court of the United States.
The insurance commissioner acted
under authority of section sos of the
penal code as amended at the session
of 1907. which provides that if any
foreign insurance corporation shall
cause TO be transferred to the United
States circuit court from any state
court an action arising out OF business
transacted in this state the insurance
commissioner shall revoke the certifi-
cate that had been granted to such
company.
HOLDS LAW ILLEGAL
In his opinion Judge Seawell holds
the enactment to be unconstitutional,
in that it is special legislation. which
is forbidden by the state constitution.
There is nothing in the nature of
insurance business" writes Judge Sea-
well. which can Justify the denial to
foreign insurance corporations the same
right of transferring causes to the
United States circuit court which is
enjoyed by other foreign corporations.
The business of insurance is, it is true,
Of so peculiar a nature that it is proper
TO make special regulations for it's
conduct. But the right of removal Of a
case pending in a state court 20 the
federal court is In no way involved in
the nature Of the business transacted.
SUIT ENDS STATES POWER
when q suit has been begun on a
policy Of insurance. the entire business
which the state has the power to regu-
late has been transacted. 1t is OF no
greater Importance to the holder Of a
policy of insurance to collect the
amount which he claims to be due him
with the least possible trouble and as
expeditiously as possible, than 1t is to
any other 1itigant. Nor does the cir
cumstance. IL it be true, that actions
upon policies Of insurance are some
times more numerous than those
brought for other causes justify the
classification attempted by the political
CODE"
Commissioner Wolf said last night
that he presumed an appeal from the
decision would be taken to the supreme
court and that he would confer with
the attorney general as to that. The
principal difference between the trial
Of insurance cases in the state and fed
eral courts is that in the former a
three-fourths verdict may be accepted.
whereas. In the federal court, q unani-
nous verdict is necessary.
