CIVIL SERVICE AT
ODDS WITH JUDGE
Col. Fordyce Refuses to Ger
tify to Salaries of Four
ar Courts Appointees.

Nc Eithstanding the contention of
Judge Patrick J. Dolan that he Is
within his rights in retaining four
officers of the Juvenile Court who
have failed to pass the civil service
examination. Colonel Alexander j.
Fordyce, jr.. in charge Of this district,
declared today that he will continue
to withhold certiflcation to their
salaries.
Colonel Fordyce took the stand to-
day when told of Judge Dolans con-
tention, that the latter was ignorant
of the civil service law and reguia-
lions. He intimated that If the pres
emf condition is not corrected within
a short time he would take tina mat
ter up with the attorney-generaFs
office to obtain a settlement.
"AlI that / can say on this matter
at this time, said Colonel Fordyce,
sis that Judge Dolan is not familiar
with the civil service law. His con-
struction of it Is entirely opposite
to the one that have and l must
beg to differ with the learned judge.
Judge Dolan had perfect right
to make these appointments OF a tenn
porary nature, but he has not tne
power, as he seems to think, TO maxi
them permanent. WHEN thO
was originally established there vas
no eligible list, but an examination
was Immediately called and the four
officers in question were among those
TO take it. Charles Dolan, the Judges
brother, was last on the list or maze
officers, only nineteen passing, Wnile
Miss Anna T. Tansey, whom, De.
lieve. is his niece, was fifth on the list
of six who passed the other test. Bart
Freeman and e. ]. Thompson, the
ether two appointees, did not even
pass the test"
The eligible list was announced on
August l. and Judge Dolan was al
lowed until August Is, to make ms
selections. Instead, however, he lg-
nored 1t entirely and allowed the TEN,
porary appointees to remain. CiVl
service has refused to certify to their
nav since August 10, and from all ac-
counts will continue to hold 1t up.
The Judge takes the stand that IN
asmuch as his is a newly instituted
court, he had the right to make his
appointments, regardless of the civil
service. He holds that he had right
to ignore the eligible list because they
are the first incumbents. If he should
have to appoint their successors, how
ever. he would have to do so from
the list, he says.

HOLDS LACOMBE ;!
TO Be BLAMELESS
County Counsel Jones Declares
Spirit of the Law Was
Never Violated.

The opinion of County Counsel Ben
jamin r. Jones exonerates Freeholdes
August L. Lacombe from the charge
that he permitted his teams to be en-
ployed upon contract work for the
county in violation of the law.
The special investigating committee
will hold another meeting in a few
days, after the members have time to
go over copies of the testimony that
has been taken during the probe
The case was brought up through
the discovery that certain horses used
in connection with the building of a
tuberculosis pavilion at the Overbrook
Hospital for the Insane were hired
from Mr.. Lacombe.
At the hearing j. Franklin Perry.
who is business manager for his
father, George f. Perry, dealer
in building materials, stated that
for the last three years he had regu.
larly hired horses from Lacombe,
when there was more work than his
own teams could do. They usually
paid Sc day, the same as paid La
combe in the present case, he said,
except between busy seasons they
had sometimes got teams for $3.50
Perry said he had never dealt with
the Lancaster Company before,
though he had with van Houten q
Winterbottom, who are members of
the firm.
County Counsel Jones, who con-
Quoted the inquiry, said in summing
up, that he was perfectly satisfied
there had been no violation of the
law or the spirit of the law.
II think Freebooter Waters was
justified in asking for an investiga-
ton after the complaint had been
made to him. Mr.. Jones said. The
statute plainly prohibits members Of
the county and other boards from be-
ing financially interested in any con-
tract, and it Is important that the
facts should be sifted.
"At the same time the law is not
intended to be used unfairly or car
ried to a point where any official en-
gagged in business would be placed in
danger of indictment"

Street-Widening Assessment

The Supreme Court will probably be
asked to pass on the legality of as
sessments levied on property for the
widening of Clay street and Carlyle
place. Two hundred property owners
of the First ward organized at
meeting last night to protest against
the assessments which were recon-
mended by the assessment ocmmis-
sioners a year ago, ordered by the
Common Council and confirmed by
Judge Adams.
If their protests are unavailing, the
members of the organization plan
certiorari proceedings. Freebooter

old. of 1874 Morton street, is today
nursing his badly burned hands and
face. which were burned while he
was trying to extinguish small
blaze in the hallway of the house

Gas escaping from a loose fitting
ignited and set fire to the wood
work. Young Silverste1n ran into the
hallway and beat out the flames with
his coat. A passerby thinking that
the fire would result seriously turned
in an alarm from box 500 bringing
the engines to the scene. The dam
age was trifling.

deposits made by the farmers and the merch-
ants of the county.
Lawyers, doctors and so forth might soon
find it to be good policy to patronize the
Farmers Exchange Bank
Cotton factors of the nearest city market
would compete for the goodwill and patron
age of such bank.
Therefore, it ought to pay WELL simply as
a bank: but consider what it could do as
fiscal agent Of the farmers.
1t could build, or rent, a convenient ware
house, employ at moderate salary, purchas-
ing agent, and keep the warehouse stocked
with the staple goods that the plantation
needs, furnishing these to the stockholders at
cost.
A conservatively managed bank. such as /
propose, could easily buy on the closest kind
of margins, all the guano, wagons, plantation
Implements flour, meal, meat corn hay and
so forth, that the stockholders have to pur-
chase.
The purchasing agent, being a man of
experience and intelligence, could save those
farmers enough money during the year, to
make his salary, say 81, 800. seem a trife.
He could not only buy better than the farm
ers can do it, but he could sell their stuff better
than they can do it; on perishable goods
especially, he could keep his patrons posted
as to where the market is gluttede aud where
the demand is greatest. -. ,>>4 ~v~.---

Cheaper Money For the Farmers. Cooperative Banks

GENTLEMEN, you may say what you
- please but one of the big troubles with
the farmer is, that credit and borrowed cash
cost him too much.
He buys by retail, sells by retail, prices
nothing that he buys, and nothing that he
sells.
No, wonder he is in the dumps. 5!=,S
No wonder he is short of money. sfs@@ z.
No wonder he is discouraged.
The newspapers that are owned by the
privileged classes that rob him, assure him
that he is rolling in prosperity.
He knows better, for his pocket is we'll
nigh empty, and his future is dark enough to
dampen his courage.
Why shouldn't the farmers organize CO.
operative banks, buy supplies at wholesale
prices, and sell their products to the best
advantage?
In almost any county, the farmers could
come together, raise fund of $4,000 and
start bank
They could limit the number of shares that
any one man could own, and thus prevent a
big hog from getting in the trough.
They could also limit the amount of money
to be loaned to any one man, thus preventing
few from monopolizing the benefits of the
bank
With ordinary luck and good management,
such bank would get fair share of the

farmer an equal footing with his fellowman
in his commendable efforts to succeed with his
undertakings
Since the above was written. I have received
from my friend, 0 ID. Hill, copy of the
annual proceedings of "The Farmers
National Congress-"
On this very subject of practical co-opera-
ton among the farmers, find the following:
I can't go into detail, but the agricultural
reports and bulletins tell that thirty years ago
in the Kingdom of Denmark the farmers were
receiving for the entire products of the poultry
the sum of $12,000,0O0.00 per annum. Only
thirty years ago. $4,000, 100000 per annum for
the entire poultry product of that kingdom Agri-
culture was languishing and the farmers were
suffering there distress in the land. Then
they began to organize; they organized for hand
ling eggs, butter, poultry, and products of every
klnd,-fOr handling and marketing them. What
is the result today After thirty years of cooper
alton the farmers Of Denmark are receiving $780,
O00,000.00 per annum instead of $4,000, 100000.
Why? Can't we do likewise?
