of the state reformatory won the first
round of his fight with l. L. Shaw for
possession of the office in the Dis
trict Court here when Judge Caven
der held that the civil service law OF
1912 had abolished terms in the clas
sified service. Shaw claimed that
Capp was appointed to fill a vacancy
and that his term expired April G
when Governor Carlson named him as
Capp's successor. The decision was
rendered on a demurrer and the 1916
civil service law was not involved
This phase of the case will now be
taken up. The new statute removed
Capp from the classified service, but
he has refused to surrender the
office.

To Make Safe Highways

Major Raymond w. Pullman Super

tors Of heavy motor trucks. ono Of
which struck and kined Harry A. LAu-
mer late Wednesday afternoon just
across tho District line.
In discussing the problem which the
use Of these roads by the heavy trucks
presents, Major Pullman said:
"One OF the best deterents TO danger
Gus practices OF this kind Is the i'm
position OF as heavy fines as the raS
permits. and also more rigid standards
for the granting OF operators licenses.
The one thing above all others
which the Police Deps1sment d,s,en w,ii VI no 90
character. Since last June the men OF
tho department have been acting under
instructions to pay particular attention
to the heavy trucks which utilize the
August ls the reckless driving of these
heavy vehicles was n1ade tho subject
Of . special order In which all precinct
captains were told to instruct their
mon to do all In their power to put
q stop TO this dangerous practice.
There have always been complaints
about these trucks. There will possi-
bly, always be. But there will be no
iet-up In arrests for violstiouS OF this
character.
The municipal sovernmeut has ~
Gently put into operation . resrlatiu,
calling for the revocation Of the license
OF any driver found under the infiu-
encs OF liquor. He doesn't even have
to be drunk before this penalty can be
enforced.
II believe that this and similar reg
uiations. however. might be made
much more efficacious II the standards
required for the granting OF licenses
were changed. There unquestionabiy y
should be greater restrictions imposed
upon applicants for this privilege. and
they should be made to show higher
qualifications than are now demanded
OF them.'

NO RECOMMEN
FOR CIVIL PENSIONS
President viii Not AIIude to Sub

DESPITE assiduous work by the Civil

host OF Government workers. President
Wilson's 8 message to Congress DecemDcr
will contain no recommendation for
pensions.
The President 10 on record as being
fayorably disposed toward the civil
service pension question. but whether
this presaEeJ = recommendation In
second message to Congress, or means
only that the President Is recording his
views is a matter Of conjecture.
In 4 letter to Congressman Hamill OF
New Jersey. dated November "a. the
frosident said he was sincerely inter
ested in civil service pensions. but that
because OF the pressure OF important
matters Of state. including the pre-
paredness program. It would be impos-
sible to include recommendation "
his message At the opening OF Con-
Kreas.
Mr.. Hamill had written the President
asking that he include pensions In his
recommendations.
1t seems that the question Of pension
and retirement OF civil service will be
crowded out all around Several MEM
