WILL NOT ALLOW MAYOR
TO VIOLATE CIVIL SERVICE

The civil service board took Of
ficial notice of the action Of Mayor
Seymour in violating his campaign
promises and the civil service law
at meeting yesterday, and gave
him>notice that they. will not stand
for his action.
The board absolutely repudiated
his appointment of Miss Elizabeth
Gartley as clerk in the health
office.
At the time this appointment
was made the Times called atten-
ton to the mayors attempt to
override the civil service law. This
position is under civil service. The
civil service board had an eligible
list, but the mayor refused to take
O clerk from the list and went to
the office of B. s. Grosscup, the
corporation lawyer, and selected
his clerk.
Yesterday the civil service board
gave him notice that they would
not recognize the appointment
and that they would contest her

CLAYTON NOW

w. e. Clayton Is In the racq

Woods for the job of commissions
Ter of public works. He beat OUT
r. H. Forsythe. the socialist cana
dfdate, in the courts, before Judge
Clifford yesterday.
Forsythe sought to have HIS
Iown name substituted for that OF
Clayton on the ballot, claiming
that an affidavit by Clayton last
year filed In court showed he had
not been resident for three yeara
of Tacoma and was not eligible.
Clayton said the paper filed IN
court he signed at the instance OF
Ibis lawyer, who was seeking tQ
protect him from having his props

pany he had operated with. He
had not paid any attention to what
1t was.
He admitted his family had
lived near Dupont part Of the tim6
and he had also been there cor11

his residence was In Tacoma and
he registered and voted here.

right to draw her pay.
I'VE have an eligible list in this
class, and we certainly expect
when clerks are to be appointed
that they be taken from this list" )"
said a member of the board to-
day.
The mayor went to the civil SER
vice board before he appointed
Miss Gartley, and asked the board
to sanction her appointment and
to give her special examination
so she could be qualified for the
place.
This the board refused to do,
as it already had an eligible list
for this class of position, and 1t
was up to the mayor to take a
clerk from the list. He refused
to obey the law, however, and in
practically his first appointment
where he could he violated his oft
repeated civil service campaign
pledge and the law as well.
But the board will not stand for
1T, and will stop the pay of the
clerk,

John Mcnamara, clean in his hab-
its, quiet, courteous, refined-a
man who has educated himself at
night after his days work was
done-does not talk of his case to
anyone but his attorney.
One Sunday night he heard
Nearer My God to Thee" being
sung by evangelists. He dropped
the book he, was reading, his face
|softened and he said quietly to one
of the guards, MY mother used to
sing that to me Sunday nights In
the old home"
1t is not difficult to under
lstand why labor and many persons
not affiliated with unions cannot
yet come to look upon this man as
a criminal.
Yet to accomplish even the first
step in its design to strike a
crushing blow for the "open shop
through this coming trial, "Big
Business" must prove this man a
monster of horrible type.
Detective Burns has said 1t car
be done.
Labor is not taking Burns word
for it. If it can be done, labor is
going to exact absolute fairness in
the doing of it.
Whatever the outcome, the poi.
son of corporate greed can't eat
through that attitude so long as
American tradition dominates the
spirit of this nation. Labor here
is firm In that belief.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IL.
Recognition of the revolutions
lists in Mexico as belligerents is
but little nearer today las the
result of the rebel victory al
Juarez yesterday, according tc
Washington officials. They say
that by recognizing the insurrec-
tos America would have to aban-
don all claims for damages that
American citizens have suffered
and besides it would cause Eur
opeAto believe that America is
morally supporting the uprising.
As General Madero Is now in
command of the Juarez customs
house, he will be enabled to i'm
port arms, ammunition and sup
plies, although no expeditions will
be spermitted to enter. America
has. no concern in the fate of
goods shipped to Mexico that
are not -smuggled.

Same Old Nick

+. John Leahy, r., manager for
Nick Lawson's campaign, says
the report that was flying on the
street yesterday that deal had
been made by the Royal Arch
with Lawson whereby Lawson was
to throw his influence with his
fellow countrymen to Roys In re-
turn for the support of the Royal
Arch for himself, is not true at
all.

did all the time. He Is for the

The women are going to con-

next Tuesday, from all appear

While the men are standing on
the curb and talking and while
the politicians are framing up
deals and combinations and trades
the women are having little neigh

they are lining up solidly.
F. H. Petit Is being invited to
these meetings to speak TO the
women, and they are enlisting in
his campaign against Roys, the
man who has encouraged the

The women say they are in

This belief is based largely on

Running through the course of
events from the destruction of
the Times building last October,
to the arrest and Imprisonment
of the McNamaras and McManigal

been the constant insinuation of
the subsidized press throughout
the nation that organized labor

lives in the disaster.

THE CHURCH AND DIVORCE
Protestant Ministers Give the Catholic
! Church Credit for Smaller Num-
Der of Divorces in Ramsey
County Than in Hennepin
County.

Statistics published in the Mime
apoIis Tribune last Sunday show that
Ramsey county had only about half as
many divorces as Hennepin county
last year. In the former, including
St. Paul, there was one divorce for
every 14.4 marriages.; while in the
latter, including Minneapolis, there
was one for every seven marriages.
This is attributed to the greater in
fluence which the Catholic Church, on
account of its numbers, exerts in
Ramsey county.
Protestant clergymen in Minneapolis
do not hesitate to state that in
their opinion the difference in statis-
tics is due to the greater strength of
the Catholic Church in Ramsey Coun-
ty and they deplore the lack of sane
tity characterizing many marriage
ceremonies of today
Catholics hold marriage within the
hands of the Church where it ought
to be- said Rev. Charles Davis Dar-
ling, pastor of Stewart Memorial Pres
byterian church. They naturally re.
gard marriage more sacredly and ]
have no doubt this is largely respon-
sible for the recent showing of divorce
figures. This attitude that marriage is
a simple contract and that the state
can make and rescind it is mistake. =
Rev. L. A. Crandall of Trinity Bap.
ltist church, says he has no doubt that
Catholicism has something to do with
the Ramsey county figures. He be
lieves, however, that marriage out
side Of church may prove just as
sacred providing the contracting par.
| ties take the vow sacredly.
