urb along the Illinois Central in the
north end, have not been disturbed for
the past two nights. owing to the rag
ing of a prairie fire along Seventy-third
street car lines.
The fire is extending to the Seventy
third street tunnel. east of Jeffrey ave-
nue.. and all mosquitoes within a range
of miles have been swept into obscurity
by the smoke and flames, together with
the summer humidity. One resident of
the suburb declared today that he had
been unable to detect a mosquito in the
last three days. Owing to the close
proximity of Bryn Mawr to the lake,
the pestiferous insects seem to thrive
and hundreds of new arrivals make
appearance in the mosquito colonies
each day, but thanks to the prairie
fires. the residents say, have brought a
great relief!

MIR. BoNNER's LONG SERVICE
The appointment of Hugh Bonner as commits
sioner was not generally expected. IL was De-
Iieved that the Mayor would pick out young
man. Mr.. Bonner WIS d hchipci VI - N
formed force for thirty-nine years The ap-
nointment recalls the various attempts made 10
oust bonner when he was chief. 1t was popu-
i3rIy supposed at that time that these EFFORTS
were made to make a place for the present
chief Edward F. Croker. nephew OF Rcnard
Croker, he being at that time deputy chief.
When Commissioner Bonner returned to the
departn1ent as deputy commissioner two years
ago there was much speculation as to how he
and Chief Croker would get along, as there was
supposed to have been some feeling between
the men after Bonner finally retired The cniel'
however expressed himself much pleased at
the appointment and there has been no ap-
parent friction. Both, with Deputy Chief Blnns'
have been members Of the hose committee, Gre
ated by Commissioner Lantry.
The new commissioner was born In 1888 ana
worked in all grades OF the old volunteer de-
partment becoming a foreman of the paid de-
partment upon its organization. He was made a
battalion chief in 1873. and ten years later de-
v,sed the plan for the school of instruction,
which is still in operation. In 1884 he became
first assistant chief and in 1889 he was pro-
NOTED to chief upon the retirement OF Chler
Shaw remaining chief until 1899
In 1902 Commissioner Bonner was invited py
the limited States Government to become chief
of the Manila department and organize 1t on
modern American lines This task ne accom-
pIished giving the capital OF the Phiilppines an
efficient department. and soon after his return
he became deputy commissioner

CRITTCISE CENSUS BILL.
Members Of National CiuH Service
League Object.

The National Civil Service League has entered a
protest against the proposed methods of taking the
next national census The Crumpacker census BILL
packer of Indiana. provided that the employees
for taking this census shall be appointed
without regard to the Civil Service law and rules
and this would mean the appointment OF four thou-
sand additional clerks without competitive ex-
animation as required by the Civil Service law.
At a meeting of the council of the league. or
which Joseph II. Choate is president. action was
taken in the form of a resolution declaring the nom
competitive examination to be what the President
in his special message called "a cloak to hide the
nakedness of the spos system" and asking the
assistance Of all business and commercial organi-
cations through the country in advocating the
amendments which the President recommended in
his special message to Congress for the application
of the merit system in the taking of the thirteenth
census
The arguments advanced in support of the pro-
visions Of the bill are that if the employees are
appointed according the Civil Service law they
will have TO retained in the service after the
in the regular service they will have moral right
recognized
1t was pointed out by the league that these argu-
ments are errors because there is no provision in
any Civil Service in the country requiring the
retention these employees when their services are
no longer required, and furthermore, when the
appointment is made it will be given and accepted
on the understanding that employment is for the
census period only
