Civil Service Commission.
TAX EXAMINERS NOT EXEMPT
Duties Held Not To Be Conf
dential-Place Can Be Filled
from Competitive List.
lBy Telegraph to Ine Tribune. J

Albany April Ex-Governor Dix's new
Civil Service Commission, which has been
helping the Democrats grab jobs, got
rebuke to-day from Supreme Court Justice
Rudd He granted a peremptory writ OF
mandamus against the commission on ap-
nlica don of Fred L. Merritt, stock
transfer tax examiner in the State Con
trolIer's Office. who objected to having that
place taken ont Of the competitive class
and placed In the exempt list.
Justice Rudd decided against the COM
missions contentious. He held that the
duties Of this place did not make II con-
fdential one or one which could not and
81 ould not be filed from the competitive
lists.
In the Controllers office there Il .
bureau for the coll ctiN OF the stamp tax
imposed on the transfer OF corporate
stock. with a force f about seventeen per-
sons. fourteen OF whom are known as eX-
aminers. From the time OF the opening
81 the stock transfer department the posi-
ton Of examiner was classified by the
Civil Service Commission as exempt until
July T. 1910, when on the application CT
Clark Williams who was then the Con-
trolIer. the Office was classified by the State
civil Service Commission a. competitive.
The competitive classification was ap-
proved By Governor Hughes. on the APP
nlication OF Controller Sohmer the Civil
Service Commission classified these posi-
tons and others as exempt, and the action
of the state board il now pending subject
u the approval Of the Governor.
Justice Rudd holds in effect that the posi-
ton OF stock transfer tax examiner is not
in contemplation Of the law Of confidential
nature; that it does not entail any pecu-
mary liability either on tho Controller or on
the state: that whether the action or the
State Civil Service Commission in eX-
einpting the position from competition IS
a proper exercise Of the powers of the COM
mission is a question for the court; that

cation Of positions in the exempt class

Attorney A. A. Andrews will appear

the line. Davis is wanted for job
which he is alleged to have pulled
off on the iron range, and officials
from that section are also on the

there is a reward of $1,000 for the
capture of Davis adds incentive to
the hunt. There is still persist,
