Walsh of Meriden as soon as the United States senate confirms his some definite information about the patronage of the office to a reporter for the Meriden Record.
 MT. Byxbee said All employees in the revenue department are under the civil service and hold their position during the term of the collector, unless removed for cause.
 How Department Differs.
 "The revenue service differs from the other departments of the treasury for the reason that all officers give their bond for faithful and efficient service to the collector and not to the government. At the expiration of the collectors term of office all deputy col lectors, clerks and messengers are dropped automatically unless recom- missioned by the incoming collector.
 If the new collector, on assuming charge of the office, desires to retain any of the present force he issues to them a commission of appointment and the deputy gives his bond to the collector. If there are any of the force that the collector does not care to reappoint he has the privilege of making new appointments, taking the names from the eligible list furnished him by the civil service commission.
 Eligible Candidates.
 "A man eligible for appointment must stand one. two or three on the list, and no other applicant can be considered. It is on the same basis that postoffice clerks mad carriers are selected. No appointment can be made by MT. Walsh, the internal
 MT Walsh probably will be con- firmed by the senate soon and will take oath of office the last of this month. If Mr Walsh does not recommiSsion ternal revenue service he has the priv ilege of filling 23 vacancies with sal aries varying from $50 0to $1,400 a year.

Whiton of New London, chairman of the board. who had been asked to come there. sent word, which was interpreted to mean that he looked upon the board as little short of joke. He said that the board has not met for years. It would gladly come to Meriden. he said. 1T 1t could do anything. The law which governs the board, however. gives it no functions. It is board only in name.

 TO HIGHER COURT.
Norwich Driver Sentenced to 10 Days in Jail and Fined $1oo on Friday.

Ten days imprisonment and $100 fine was the sentence imposed on Chauffeur Augustus Skelly of Norwich for driving motor. car recklessly in Judge Colt this morning. Skelly ap pealed and regained his liberty on bond of $250 which was furnished by George H. Pratt, Skelly's employer.
 Judge Colts comment in imposing sentence was to the effect that he was not to deal with Skelly for the con- versation he used: Skelly must ex- plain that to the men to whom he ad- dressed it. The car, the court said, was going at tremendous rate Of speed and in the opinion of the court it is not safe for cars to be driven 40 or 30 miles an hour, which is the speed of express trains, either day or night The court remarked that such driving was going to be discouraged if 1t was possible for that court to do so and the judge said he had no sym pathy for such drivers.
 The sentence of 10 days in jail and $100 fine was followed by counsefs notice of an appeal Then Attorney Richard P. Freeman made an infor- nal argument to the court for the re- mission of the sentence of days in jail Judge Colt refused to reconsider his decision He said the higher court might. if it deemed proper, suspend the exception of that section of the sentence, but he would not.
 The appeal goes to the court of com- mon pleas and trial of the case would necessarily be heard before Judge Waller and a jury. Skelly IS vel te appear before State Secretary Phillips. by whom his license to oper- ate motor vehicles has been suspended. State policemen said today that they would lay before the state secretary evidence to show that Skelly was in foxicated as we'll as that he drove recklesSly.
