isted.

WANTS POLITICS
ENTIRELY OUT
Believes Department Of Law
Should Be Under Civil
Service

Baltimore, Dec 16.-Political law
yers In the government service are
largely responsible for the popular
impression that 1t is next to impossi,
BILE to put rich criminal in Jail, de-
clared Assistant Attorney Gen. w. T.
Denison in an address here today be-
fore the National Civil Service Re-
form association.
Predicting that civil service princi-
pies ultimately would be applied to
all legal positions in the government
service, with the possible exception
of attorney general and solicitor gen
eral. Mr.. Denison declared the break
down of the criminal law was due
largely to political appointments in
legal positions because they prevent
the people from getting their moneys
worth in ability and services.
"A law officer of the government.
and especially a criminal prosecutor
ought not to know Republican from
a Democrat said MIR. Denison.
President Taft and Attorney Gener-
al Wickersham had eliminated polit-
ical consideration from appointments
under the attorney general, except
in a few isolated cases, he continued,
and as the result of his experience in
the prosecuting branch of the govern
ment, he said he had come to believe
that all assistant attorney generals
and all United States attorneys could
best be selected by promotion on a
competitive basis and all positions
below assistant district attorney by
competitive oral and other examina-
tion, practice which had been used
by Henry L. Stimson, when the latter
was United States district attorney in
New York.
Mr.. Denison said that Mr.. Stimson's
prosecutions of rebates, sugar frauds
and bank wreckers never could have
succeeded If he had made appoint-
ments in his Office in accordance with
the demands of politicians. The New
York politicians, he said, had even
protested to Attorney General Bona
parte that Stimson was requiring too
much public work from his assist
ants, which had the effect of causing
them to neglect legal work for the
Republican organization of New York.
which they had wanted done at pub
lie expense.
No Free Service
"Stimson's methods was strongly
opposed not only by the ordinary type
of politicians" declared Mr.. Denison,
''but by certain very enlightened and
genuinely public spirited leaders who
were of the opinion that Mr. Stimson
was in error politically in adopting
it.
at came down, then, to the real
objection direct bald question Of

hcn Bill.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Charges were
made in the house today by Represen.
tative Fitzgerald of New York that the
navy department, without any author
ity Of law. in the construction of the
two newest battleships for the navy
had proceeded on its own initiative
to plan the vessels thirty per cent
greater than called for by the law
authorizing their construction. The
law, he declared, provided that the
vessels were to be similar in all es-
sential characteristics to the battle-
ships Delaware and North Dakota,
which We're Of 10000 tons displace-
ment, whereas the secretary of the
navy proposed to contract for a $4,000
ton battleship and the $6,000,000 ap-
propriated for vessel was found to
be insufficient.
MIR. Fitzgerald declared that many
of overhead charges" in the estimates
for the construction of the battleship
were merely bookkeeping entries. Fitz-
gerald's charges were made during the
general debate on the legislative. ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill
which was brought up today immedi-
ately after the house met. The bill
carries $35 ,219, the amount 1t is
estimated, which will be needed for
