OPINION OF CITY ATTORNEY

At a caucus OF the Henry Ward dele
r. L. Peters. of the Common Council.
yesterday afternoon, Wallace G Saun-
ders was unanimously Endorsed to ill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
OF Councilman George E. Wise The
delegation was satisfied that Mr. saun-
ders was legal resident Of the ward
but In order to meet any argument to
the contrary, Mr.. Peters produced u
written opinion of the City Attorney
to that effect In his letter Mr. Pollard
stated that If all other constitutional
requirements had been complied with.
any citizen was eligible to hold Office
without reference to the length OF
time that he has resided In q particulars

ders moved into the ward yesterday
morning. With the exception OF Fred
H. Powell, who was out of the city.
every member OF the delegation was
present at the caucus. Mr. Powe-i
wrote a letter to President Peters es-
planning his absence and saying that
he was heartily in favor of the election
of Mr.. Saunders, but would abide by
tho decision of the delegation In any
event.
A Bonn Eide Resident.
Aside from the opinion of the City
Attorney that Mr.. Saunders was eligl-
Bile, members of the committee were
a bona fde resident of Henry Ward
F.! for number of years. having voted
there and spent good many nigh
in the rooms over his store. This has
been particularly true during this sum
mer. Speaking OF the fact that Mr..
Saunders is now moving his family
into the ward. Mr.. Peters said that 1t
i had nothing whatever to do with his
prospective election to the Council. lie
said that he knew positively that the
move had been contemplated long be-
fore Mr. Wise said anything about re-
signing his seat in the Council. that
the delay was mainly due to nlpess
the city. Mr. Saunders. he said, had
intended to move his boarding place
from 507 West Grace Street to 410
West Grace Street more than two
weeks ago.
Mny he Elected To-day.
1t Is possible, though hardly prob
able that Mr.. Saunders will be elected
to Mr.. Wise's seat this afternoon at s
o'clock, when the new Council meets

sion is. however. that the nomination
will be made at the regular meeting

SENIORITY RULES
ON ROAD
All Train Positions Vacant To.
Day, and Merit Promotions
Are Abolished.

Practical abolition Of the merit sys-
of the Southern Railway goes into ef-
feet to-day Seniority is hereafter to
govern in such matters.
Under the plan of Inauguration OF
the new system all positions in the
train service are declared vacant to-
day. The men will make their own
selections of their runs. according to
the length of time they have been In
the service. Thus the Oldest engineer
will choose the run which suits him
best, although in the past younger
men may have been advanced over
his head
This is taken to mean that 1t is In
evitable that some men who have re-
ceiveG promotion from their superin-
tsndents will have 10 step down tc
smaller positions, since in other cas-,
the trainmsn who nave been longer in
the service will get bettor jobs. En-.
gineers may be reduced to flr'emen anG
conductors to brakemen. Men who oc.
cupy the lower positions will be pro.
NOTED OF righs. provided, of course
they can qualify for the better 30.
sitions.
A good deal of moving will prob
ably be one result. In very many In
stances it is expected, new runs viii
cause the removal Of families for the
convenience of the trainmen, who Will
shift. either because they want to o,
because they have to.
IT has been charged in the past tina
favoritism has existed in promotion
on the part of superintendent.
Younger men in the service are nat
urally apprehenSiye that the change
incident to the inauguration OF TIL
new plan may force them to acccp
runs which are distasteful to them.

Labor union politics split the ranks of
the Sixth Worlds Sunday School Con-
vention parade last night, and I'VE bands
refused to march because a non-union or
ganization was in the procession.

assembled in II street. between Ninth
and Eleventh streets. awaiting the order
10 march.
President Hayden, accompanied by Sec
rotary c. P. Huestis, Of the federation,
went down the line and ordered each or
ganization out
The walk-Out was the result OF what
the federationists term a breach OF con-
tract, IN allowing the Naval Gun Fac
tory Band to participate According TO
President Hayden, the Gun Factory Band
has been branded unfair" by the Ameri-
can Federation Of Musicians and the
Central Labor Union II would have
been against union ethics for union
bands to have marched with the others
More than 200 musicians dropped out,

Pictorio's. the Minister. and the d. B.
Macleod bands. The union foots the
lossbeo them.
Il Is said that two or three Of the five
bands collected the compensation for
their services before entering the parade.

civil suits for recovery Of this money.
