CIVIL SERVICE IS
NOT FAVORED HERE
Competitive Appointments of
City Employees Rejected
by the Mayor
SUGGESTED By FOULKE
Ex-ciViL SERVICE COMMISSION
Err ADVISES THE SYSTEM, AR
cUlNc IT WOULD ADVANCE THE
CITY OVER OTHERS.
SUGGESTED BY FoULKE

With disfavor was the proposition
Of w. D. Foulke looked upon by the
mayors cabinet this morning when
Mr.. Foulke suggested that a competi-
city government of Richmond for the
appointment of subordinate employees.
According to Mr. Foulke's plan the
heads Of departments would be ap-
pointed as at present by the mayor,
but all other employees. including those
on the police, fire and street depart
ment would be required to take exam
nations to secure appointments
Mayor Zimmerman stated absolute
ly that he did not favor the plan Of
appointing men who had worked
against the interests of the admins
tration. The mayor said he believed
the present administration had ap-
pointed competent men and that there
were no incompetents in the cabinet.
Would Advance the City.
1t was stated by Mr. Foulke that the
plan had been successfully tried in
many of the large cities of the United
States and in few small ones. As
a former member of the civil service
commission Mr.. Foulke urged the
adoption of the system saying it would
place Richmond in a position much in
advance of that Of any city In the
state.
Other routine business was taken up
by the board. Dairy Inspector F1uke
reported the dairies Of the city In fair
condition. He said there are IT dairfes
furnishing milk to Richmond. with %
wagons. and $50 cows, Of which 23G
are tuberculin-tested.
William Whitacre, superintendent OF
the crematory. reported that 469 yards
OF wet and 10 yards of dry garbage.
and 10 animals were consumed at the
crematory during the past month.

nor Campbell and his prohibition sup
porters are now credited with the
intention to use dynamite on the

a ten-mile and quart law. A mes
sage of the governors transmitted to
the senate few days ago recon-
mends the passage of both these laws
and will also prevent the saloon men
from making campaign contributions.
The ten-mile statute would prohibit
the running of saloon or liquor sto-G
within ten miles of any educational in
stitution supported wholly or in part
by the state. and the quart law would
in effect drive the saloon out Of busi-
ness by prohibiting the drinking Of
alcoholic beveridges on the premises
where bought. A provision Of the
latter measure would close all liquor
stores or dispensaries between the
hours of s .. m. and a. m. Needless
to say these recommendations II
brought into effect would put every
saloon in the state out of business.

London, Aug. S.-By securing the

Turkey. and getting invaluable mining
privileges, an American syndicate OF
financiers has outwitted the most
astute commercial interests of Germ.
any and England, the chief contend
ers for rights in Turkey. according
to information received here today.
Coming soon after America had fore.
ed Europe to grant her bankers par.
ticipation in the Chinese railroad loan,
the Turkish development is the source
OF alarm here and in Berlin.
Private cables received here indi.
cate that the moving power behind
the syndicate is the United States
steel corporation. With the right OF
exclusively working for twenty years
one of the richest mineral districts of
Turkey, untold millions are today In
the grasp of the Americans. London

In the deal through the participation
OF the connected American firm of
Macarthur Brothers. which has taken
a large part in the construction of
American western railroads, including
Hartman lines.
Rumors OF the railroad deal and
mining concessions have been current
here since last fall, when the Otto

was organized in New Jersey with a
nominal capitalization of $5OO.OOO.
The full extent of the undertaking YVES
not understood here. however.
With concessions for 200 miles ot

The Turkish cabinet has passed IA.
vorably on the project. Europe how
ever, will bring to bear all possible
pressure to prevent the matter being
laid before the Turkish parliament
when it meets on November Is.
The reports current here indicate
that probably the most important fig
