BUCKS REFORM WAVE.
Deputy Collector IN Queens
Objects to RemOUM.

Thomas A. Healy. deputy collector in the
Queens Office of the Bureau for the Collec-
ton of Assessments and Arrears, may
have the honor to bring the first suit
against the city for reinstatement since the
present tidal wave of reform was started
by the new administration.
Mr. Healy was notified yesterday that
his services would not be required after
February L He at once. went to Collector
Moynahan, at the head of his bureau, and
announced that he was a veteran volun-
teer firemen and the Civil Service rules
would not permit his removal in such
summary manner. When Controller Prem
dergast heard of this he summoned Mr..
Healy and said: How did you get this
job? Wasn't it through politics?'
Mr. Healy acknowledged that Joe" Cas-
sidy, the Democratic leader in Queens. had
secured his appointment last January
We'll, them replied the Controller, 'as
the place is not in the competitive class I
do not see how you have ground for COM
plaint''
Healy declared. however. that he pur-
posed to see whether a veteran volunteer
fireman had any rights, and added that he
would surely call upon the courts to rein
state him unless the Controller gave up his
intention of dispensing with his services
on February l.
John Holmes, of Ozone Park. was ap-
pointed to succeed Mr.. HeaIy, at a salary
of s2,25o a year. He is a Republican.
William H. Morgan, of Manhattan, was
appointed by the Controller TO succeed
Richard E. Welden as a Deputy Collector
of Assessments, at 2 salary of $500 year.
Mr.. Morgan is a brother of the former
State Superintendent of Elections.
Tomorrow will be a sad day for fifteen
cashiers in various bureaus in the Finance
Department. as they will receive notifca-
ton that the city will dispense with their
services after February l. Until the blow
had actually fallen the Controller said he
did not want to make public the names Of
the unfortunate men.

the man had been killed instantly by a
fractured skull.

that he had planned TO kill himself. Pieces
of torn paper were found, and when put
together they proved to be an application

twenty-eight years old, butler, of No. A
East 29th street, had been rejected after
an examination last July.

HOSPITALITY

The Rev. T. II. H. Gardner, of the
Plymouth Brethren church, Christian
denomination whose followers are
mainly in the thirteen original colonies.
and his wife, were the objects of that
charity, in Hammond yesterday. that
the aged minister had so often preach
ed from the pulpit.
The couple arrived in Hammond
penniless last Monday evening and
found a room with Mr.. and Mrs Stubbs,
233 State street. Here they told of their
pitiable plight of how they found them
selves penniless in a missionary field,
and how they were trying to get back
east. The matter was referred to the
Hammond Ministerial Association. This
committee inquired into the needs of
the couple and an in addition to going
into its own pocket recommended the
Gardners to the good will of the town
ship trustee, John G. Becker. The
couple was sent to FIT. Wayne and will
be relayed in this manner until it
reaches its destination, Baltimore, Md
The Gardners came to Hammond from
Wisconsin.

THIS YEAR
(Special to THE TIMEs.)

Crown Point, Ind, Sept 21-The
organization meeting of the Center

assembly rooms last evening has one of
the most successful in the party's his
tory in Center township and evinced
spirit that viii roll up a higher majori-
ty next Noember than has been credited
to Center township in years.
A close canvas of the situation re-
vealed the fact that everything from
Republican standpoint in Center
township could be painted in glowing
colors. and the presence of harmony,
and the absence of any factional feel
ing give rise to the assurance that
Center township will be right when
the votes are counted. County Chair
man Dick" Schaaf and Mr.. Reed Of
indianapolis were present and after
short speeches were met by many of
the Republican party workers. The
business of organizations was taken
up and plans laid to perfect the work
Another meeting will be held this even
ing at which every Republican in

CITIES ASK FOR
COUNTRY VIDE SUPPORT

Does Hammond favor New Orleans
or San Fancisco for the Worlds Pana-
ma exposition for 1915. For a few min
utes the question was a burning one
befor the Hammond city council last
night, but no vote was given it having
been decided to let the business men
decide. A vote on the question is not
compulsory. but the question was rails
ed in communication addressed to
luton favoring one city or the other
in order that the resolution might be
laid before the next congress. The
competing cities are making a strong
bid for the popular vote, and address,
ing their communications to all the
cities.
Mayor Becker suggested that. mas
much as Hammond is in the Mississippi
valley and talking deep water way, it
/ might behoove this city TO pull for
New Orleans as the Crescent city would
ultimately be the terminus for the in
land waterway.
The New Orleans boosters have pre-
pared a map showing that their city
can draw on 100000 within radius
of an average of 900 MIL. while san
! Francisco for the same mileage can
draw on only 100000. The question
will be taken up by the Hammond Bus
! mess Mems association before the
Hammond city council will take ac-
| ton.
