Man Who Found 5000 Will Send
Reward to Friend in Russia.

When Israel Neboschik, a Rivington
street pushcart merchant, who found an
envelope containing $500 lying under his

passage Of time, perhaps there will be some
10 remember him as "the honestest man,
even IL that inscription is not engraved on
his tombstone
After hnding the $500, Neboschik took 1t
10 the property clerks room al No. 800
Mulberry street and turned it over to Lieu
tenant Brady. Yesterday morning Molly
Rrambiar who works in clothing house
in West 9th street, and was responsible
for the loss of the money, which belonged
TO the firm she works for, appeared al
IsraeTs place OF business. She had read IN
the newspapers OF the finding of the money
and hurried from her home in The Bronx
IN Mulberry street. After collecting the
money she went TO see Neboschik. There
were tears In her eyes as she begged him
TO accept a reward.
Israel Neboschik is a peculiar man. He
stammered and refused TO accept her oner.
Her exclamation: You're the honestest
man ever created was reward enough for
him. Finally she pressed IS bill into his
Ssnd and went away. Neboschik stood
there silent, after she had left, then said.
In HUSBAND there is ain old woman, a
landsfrau of mine, whose husband is In this
country and sends her nothing. ! should
send her this geld. 1t will make for her
fine present"

The Controller wants the photograph,

NEW CHARTER A TARGET
It's Civil Service Provisions Dis
please Secretary.

Although the proposed new charter for
New York City has apparently been laid
away for a temporary rest, some Of It's
provisions continue TO stir up criticism,
and ii is evident that the public hearings
will bring out more opposition than any
other measure offered in the present Legis-
lature has been subjected to.
Elliot II. Goodwin, secretary of the Civil
Service Reform Association, said that
the charter provisions relating to the
Civil Service laws would cripple municipal
Civil Service more vitality than anything
that has ever been aimed at the system
Municipal Civil Service is designed
chiefly to curtail and control the appoint
ing power Of executives, when that power
is used for political purposes" said Mr..
Goodwin and the new charter. by putting
into the hands OF the Mayor alone control
over the Municipal Civil Service Commits
sion, would nullify altogether the design OF
Civil Service
Mr. Goodwin pointed out that under the
present charter and laws the State Civil
Service Commission exercised controlling
poyer over the acts and personnel OF mu-
nicipal Civil Service commissions in all
cities OF the state The city executives
appoint the munlClpdl CoHiillssioHels, out
the>state commission has the power OF re-
moval for cause.
The new charter changes that method for
New York City, in these words:
THE commissioners shall be appointed
and removed only by the Mayor"
Alterations and amendments TO the rules
of Civil Service in New York City, which
under the present charter require the ap-
proval OF the State Civil Service Commits
sion 10 become effective. are also put solely
into the hands of the Mayor in these words
OF the new charter:
The commissioners shall have the ex-
elusive power 10 prescribe, amend and en-
force rules. They may alter and
amend such rules, and their alterations
or amendments shall take effect upon ap-
proval by the Mayor and shall not REQUIRE
approval or action Of the State Civil Ser
vice Commission"
That is striking at the vital point OF
Civil Service" was Mr.. Goodwin's com
ment upon the above. 1T would give TO
the executive whose appointing power Civil
Service seeks 10 control, so as 10 keep ap-
continents as much as possible upon merit
alone sole power over the body which is
supposed 10 exercise control over him."

Well. no rain fell yesterday. and II Is as
sumed by the credulous ones that me next

On July Is somewhere bac-. In the nlhtn
century the monks of Winchester thousht
to remove from the churchyard the body OF
Saint Swlthin or Swithun, and immediately
there fell a torrent Of rain which ceaseu

Syithin. who was Bishop of Winchester
had asked that his body be buried where
the passersby might walk upon his grave
and that the gentle rain might fall upon IL.
This was done, and long afterward' When
the churchman was canonized. the monks
of his order decided to remove his body u
the sanctuary. The effort was thwarted
by heavy rainfall.
This was in the days when the ram
caused not doublv headers for CLUBS wen

was no great anxiety among the fans OF

Just before Kaltenborn finished the last
notes of the Meditation" Mr. Hilborn
reeled and staggered backward. Patrol
man Monahan, who was standing directly
behind him, caught the afflicted man in
his arms. He laid the unconscious man
on the grass and ran through the crowd
looking for a physician.
Just as the vioinist completed the piece
Mr.. Hilborn regained consciousness and
Legged that the musicians keep on playing
Mr.. Kaltenborn was told Of the dying
mans wish and played it over again.
In the meantime an ambulance from the

Mrs Hilborn was to have met her hus-

that saw the ambulance arrive and drive
