REAL WORKS ARE SOREAT STEIBER'S
 INTENDED BERTH
Say He's Persistent Office Seeker, Not Consistent Party Man Protests Lodged With Leaders at Contemplated Selection of
 Young Attorney for
 Clerkship

The announcement that Attorney Theodore B. Steiber is slated to suc- ceed John Clancy as clerk of the board of Appraisal of Benefits and Damages at a salary of $500 year is not meet ing with favor among the workers who are left in the Republican party. Clancy who will hold office until August 1 but within a few days 1t is said a number of Republican workers who are opposed to Attorney Stefber's appointment intend to wait on Mayor Wilson and voice their disapproval in 8 vigorous manner.
 These same workers intended to protest against the plan to make At torney Steiber an alderman to sue ceed E. Earle Garlick, who resigned. The opposition to Attorney Steiber is made on the ground that he has rem dered no service to the Republican party to entftle him to an office like that of the clerkshi2 of the Board of Appraisal of Benefits and Damages or to aldermanic honors.
 The workers who oppose Attorney Etelber sclaim that soon after he was made a voter he was admitted to the bar and without having served the party in any way, he at once an nounced himself as a candidate for
 
 inations for alderman, once in the First district and once in the Seventh, without doing any real work in the interest of the party. The opponents of the young attorney also claim he has been a persistent office seeker but he has not been a consistent work CT and has never. done anything for the party to entitle him to the honors he has sought.
 The workers who make the protest to. Mayor Wilson will point to the fact that MT. Steiber is lawyer by pro- fession and does not need the posi- tion while the place would be ap- preciated by any one of the RepubI- can workers not as fortunately situ- ated as the attorney and who. by ser vice to the party is more entitled to 1t.
 In the parlance of the street. the workers who oppose Attorney Steiber think he ought '.to go get reputa- tion'' before he Is rewarded with off, flee. The fact that the men in con trol of the Republican organization have steadily overlooked their party workers in distributing the paying of fees is responsible for the presence of so many young men in the ranks of the Progressives in Bridgeport
 It Attorney Steiber is named for this clerkship the names of several young men who now count themselves Republican workers will probably be added to the roll of the Progressives

It was said that an an r1ouucenient would be made before the end of the day.
 The attitude of White House of 6cfals, today, in declining to comment snr the latest declarations of the fed erai grand jury in San Francisco and me attacks of former United States Attorney AEcNab upon Attorney Gen ueraI MGR Reynolds for his postpone Ruent of the prosecutions was that the action of the President and the attor- eey general in ordering the cases to ArfaI speaks For itself. It was the of- Hcial view that, however mistaken MT. 1FcReynoId's cursory view of the ratuatfon upon which he ord cred post oonement, his action was free from any suuwortliy motives" and it was pointed ou- that the correspondence made public at the White House, last Efghx, shows that the attorney gener- al himself had reversed his position and was approved by the President.
 President Wilson's attitude, 1t was unfd at the White House. is that the selection of counsel to carry the cases kc trial was q sufficient dem onstration of .ha sincere wish of the adnlinistra- eicn to have a vigorous prosecution.

 City Attorney Pullman when seen today said the decision was no sur prise to him.

Prof. Barney of Sheffield Scientific school, who testified for the city, and Prof. Bonnet of Worcester Polytechnic institute, who appeared for the plaintif both say the inter cepting system is the best.
