Removal Of Employees Legal.
Under a decision given by the SUI
preme Court, more than twenty of the
men whom the members of the Board
of Works dropped from the service of
the board last January, can not re-
their positions. These men en-
ployed Robert M. McCarter to battle
in the courts for their reinstatement,
on the ground that their removal was
illegal under the civil service law, the
tenure of Office act and the veterans
act. The removals were effected by
abolishing the positions held by the
men, and the court held that the only
question was whether 1t is compe-
tent for the board in the interest of
efficiency and economical administra-
ton to abolish positions, which, in
their judgment, honestly exercised,
may be dispensed with" 1t was added
in the decision that several times the
Supreme Court has answered this
question in the affirmative.

Horses Instinct Saves Girl.

A horses sagacity was instanced in
a remarkable manner at Aberdeen not
many days ago, when a child narrow
ly escaped being trampled to death.
Two horses were pulling a lorry out
Of a stable, and when about to turn
into the street one of the animals
stopped dead with its forelog poised
in the air, and despite the exhorta-
lions Of the driver refused to bulge
an inch. A woman's scream attracted
the drivers attention, and, following
her pointed finger with his eye, he
clambered down of the vehicle to in
v~estigate the cause of the delay. On
reaching the ground he noticed a lit
tie child lying prone on its face liter
ally under the horses hoofs. But for
the amazing sagacity on the animals
part, the little one must undoubtedly
have been killed.

t~elegraDhed to United States District
Attorney John L. McNab, of Califor-
mia accepting his resignation, and Civ.
ing notice that he would employ spe-
cial counsel to prosecute at once the
Diggs-Caminetti cases, on a charge OF
violating the White Slave law.
In his telegram to Mr.. McNab the
President severely rebuked McNab for
acting hastily and making ian mex.
cusable intimation of injustice
against his superior officer, Attorney
General McReynolds.
He also told McReynolds in a let.
er that he is glad that the Attorney
General agrees with him in thinking
that the Diggs-Caminetti cases should
be prosecuted Immediately and vigor-
ously. The President exonerates the
Attorney General from blame.
Secretary Tumulty, after giving out
the correspondence between the Presi-
dent and Mr.. McReynolds and Mr.. Nc
Nab, said that the President would
confer with McReynolds before ap-
pointing special counsel to prosecute
Diggs and Caminetti.
Three ame for special counsel
are in the Presidents mind, said Mr..
Tumulty. They are Francis J.. Heney,
who prosecuted Abe Ruef and other
political grafters in California; Matt
]. Sullivan, who assisted Heney, and
Thomas Hayden.
One or two or even all three of
these may be employed by the govern
ment to conduct the alleged white
slave cases for the government.
While the Presidents letter is
patiently intended to let the Attorney
General down easy, it Is apparent that
Mr.. Wilson's action amounts to moth
ing less than a reputation of the At.
