Reason for Attack.
TROD POLITICAL TOES
IN WIPING OUT JOBS
Defends K:ngsbury and Local
Board Lodging House Re-
form Aroused TammaDy.

In the current issue Of The Survey"
which appears this week, is an article
by Winthrop y. Lane entitled politics
Striking Back at the Charities Depart
mcnt,' which Is a lengthy defence of
he Municipal Civil Service Commission
and Charities Commissioner John A.
kingsbury and an attack upon tie per-
sonnet and moti,es of the State Civil
Service Commission.
Tho chief reason for the present
probe by the state board into the con-
duct Of DR.. Moskowitz and his associ-
a.es is alleged to be instigated chiefly
through the abolition Of the Labor Blu
reau in the local commission. In re-
gard TO this point Mr. Lane says:
This work, the commission early
came 20 believe, did not require the eX-
iStence of a separate bureau. 10 there
fore abolished three clerkships at total
salaries of $4,000 a year and assigned
their duties TO the departments that
perform similar services for the other
classes. During the present investiga-
ton four former municipal and civil
service commissioners testified that
they also had considered though they
had not seriously planned, the abolition
Of the bureau.
"But the commission trod on the toes
Of dispensers Of political patronage in
abolishing this bureau, which con-
trolled appointments 10 1900 Jobs"
The attack upon Commissioner
Kingsbury, according 70 Mr.. Lane, has
been chiefly due to the fact that ne
discharged William c. Yorke, super
intendent Of the Municipal Lodging
House and friend of Tammany Hall,
and converted the lodging house itself
from a private hotel for political hang
ers-on into an impartial hosiery for
homeless men and women"
According 10 the writer, Commission
er Kingsbury instituted an investiga
ton into the conditions in the lodging
house, which was conducted by Will
lam Albert Whiting. "whose expert
ence with homeless and destitute men
IN Red Hook. the navy yard district
and 'HelPs Kitchen equipped him for
the task"
II is alleged that Whiting found that
from 100 to 200 unpaid helpers were
constantly employed" and that in addi-
ton there were approximately 200
'lifers. That is, men who returned to
the lodging house night after night
and were admitted without question
The article continues:

department of agriculture in further
ance of the recently inaugurated cam
paign against foot and mouth disease"
in the United States, today issued an
order prohibiting the importation of
live stock from Canada into this coun-
try.
Foot and mouth disease, which has
already caused great loss to cattle
growers in the middle west and which
has appeared in the state of Missis-
sippi, it is suspected, was imported in
to this country from Canada and the
energies of the federal authorities are
now being directed toward its exter-
mination.

child became terrified and jumped from

BIRMINGHAM RAILROAD
WINS. SUIT BEFORE
THE COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 9.-The
decision of the Interstate Commerce
commission today in the case of the
Birmingham Southern railroad, is Of
unusual interest and far-reaching, in
that the road is declared a common
carried and thus entitled to make joint
rates in connection with other rail-
roads, operating in interstate COM
merce.
The Birmingham Southern railroad,
a subsidiary line of the Southern Rail-
way, consists Of short line, operating
around the city of Birmingham and
connecting various industries with
Bessemer and outlying mines in JEFF
ferson county, Ala. The road several
months made application to the COM
mission to be declared a common car
rier, but the petition was resisted by
competing railroads, which alleged the
Birmingham Southern to be only a
belt" or switching line, and therefore
not entitled to make joint rates, but
permitted to handle traffic only upon
switching charges, which are fixed
by the Alabma railroad commission at
50 car, regardless of distance trans
ported or of contents.
Today's decision of the Interstate
Commerce commission sustains the
petition of the Birmingham Southern
and entities the road to issue tariff
subject to the approval of the commits
sion. fixing rates according to distance
and commodity transported.

carrier was flung out of the road also
as his machine turned almost COM
pletely over in the air.
The carrier, not injured excepting
some slight bruises and sprains, at
once did all in his power for the child
and Drs. A.. C. Holiday, and W. w.
Brown attended it. An operation was
found ecessary-removing parts of
the skull from pressure on the brain.
A compress fracture was the worst in
jury, a place as large or larger than

seriousness of the condition of the
child was apparent he went for the

Late last night it was learned that
there might be a chance for the little
