OF STRIFE
OVER STATE JOB
Civil Service Commission On
Stand in Inquiry
GOVERNORS LETTER READ
Investigators Introduce 1t as Evidence
Camden Man Has Post That
Caused SquabbIe Between
Two Boards.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-Politics, past and present,
doomed large in the inquiry into the
operation of civil service by a com
mittee of the House of Assembly.
Edward H. Wright, a member of the
State Civil Service Commission, de-
c!ared he had seen a copy OF an
opinion by ATTORNEY General Wescott
holding as exempt the position of
custodian of the State House before
the opinion has actually been rem
dered.
At another stage of the hearing Mr..
Wright was asked whether Governor
Fielder harassed the Civil Service
Commission. He replied: Il wouldn't
say harassed, but he acted in a man
ner that was spiteful and somewhat
childish"
Mr.. Wright also declared that the
Civil Service Commission had con-
stantly encountered trouble in it's
dealings with the Office OF state Comp
troller Edwards. He declared that
acquisitions were rejected by the
COMPTROLLER, bills held up and ap-
parently every effort made 10 rctard
the administration of the civil service
laws.
Reverting again to the opinion of
the Attorney General respecting the
custodianship, Mr.. Wright explained
that one day while in Jersey City
he was invited to take dinner with
State Comptroller Edwards. He &C
cepted the invitation, thinking that
the strained relations between the
two departments might be smoothed
out by a friendly talk.
Mr.. Wright said that at the dinner
he was shown what ~purported to be
an opinion from the Attorney Gen.
eral to the State House Commission
indicating that the appointment of a
custodian should be made by the
State House Commission.
Following this meeting Colonel Alex
ander r. Fordyce, also of the Civil
Service Commission, and Mr.. Wright
had their conference with Governor
Fielder, at which they mutually agreed
that the civil service would accept
the opinion of the Attorney General
regarding the controversy then rag
ing over the appointment of a custo-
dian.
Subsequently, upon examining the
Attorney Generals opinion more close
ly, Mr.. Wright and Colonel Fordyce
asked the Governor to be relieved
from thep romise they had made, ar
guing that the Attorney General had
not only advised the commission as
to the law, but had undertaken to
usurp the commissions functions by
instructing how it should be admin
istered. 1t was this opinion which
led to the charges made a year ago
that the State House Commission,
composed of the Governor, State
Comptroller and State Treasurer, had
prevailed upon the Attorney General
to give an opinion paving the way for
the appointment of John A. Smith,
of Camden, a Democrat, then employed
in the State Comptroller's office, as
custodian.
Governor Fielder's letter in reply
was made public twice. 1t was given
out by the Governor himself and sub
s%equently was produced in evidence
before the House Committee in re-
Spouse to a subpoena served upon
Colonel Fordyce.

CROCERS ONLY
ERRAND BOYS,
they're TOLD

MANY a grocer is first an err
rand boy, and second a merchant.
In his most important function,
he runs errands for customers;
secondarily, he conducts a bust
ness.
This was one of the hot shots
which f. w. Beimfohr, delivery
expert threw into the state gro
GERS meeting today. To a faulty
and extragant system of delivery,
he ascribed high costs and scanty
profits.
He concluded that the way to
remedy the situation was for gro
GERS to combine and form one de-
livery association. In many sec
ondary cities, he said, the plan
had been successful.
F. ID. Connolly, national presi-
dent, advocated closed organiza-
tion by retailers to protect their
rights against jobbers, whole
salers, and "chain-store" sys-
tens.
This evening the convention
will close with a banquet. This
afternoon, the local grocers ar
ranged an auto tour for the guests
in which the Fleischmann plant
at Sumner was visited.

BUDGET
@. X. ED

Although they spent four hours
yesterday afternoon going over
Commissioner brakes budget OF
expenses for the light and water
departments, ostensibly for the
purpose of effecting economies in
the departments, the city council
adjourned without having accon-
plished a single saving.
Efforts of Mayor Fawcett to
eliminate positions in the two de-
partments which he declared were
superflous, met failure.
The mayors attempt to cut off
a $4,000 expense for keeping
steam in the boilers of the old
pumping plants, and maintaining
full corps of men in all five OF
the old pump stations, met with
silent opposition.
Admittedly Worthless.
Superintendent Paul Savidge o.
the water department admitted
that steam was kept up continn-
ally in the two old steam pump
ing plants, "a" and b." for
emergency purposes" although
he candidly told the council that
station "A" was practically
worthless and could only be used
ir case of extreme necessity"
At station "B" a carload of slab
wood is burned every two months
to keep steam up continually, he
asserted. There are watchmeu at
all stations, and operators ut
some of them. Their principal
duties, outside of keeping up
steam and watching the machin-
cry, is to prevent theft, Savidge
said.
Goes After Rhodes Job.
Mayor Fawcett moved that the
office of commercial agent for the
light department be abolished.
f.. w. Rhodes draws $500 a
year in this position.
81 understand from authorize
tive sources that Rhodes has nev-
er gotten a single item of now
business except by cutting rates
or paying money to get it, ey-
planned Fawcett.
Drake declared that Rhodes
was competent and doing good
work. There was no second to
Fawcett's motion.
Make a Few Adjustments.
Fawcett next moved that the
position of water main superiu-
tendent be abolished. The job
is held by j. j. Monahan.
Supt. Savidge objected to any
cuts in his tsaff. mad once more
there was no second.
The only things accomplish
by the council were the transfer
of electrical inspection work to
the building inspectors office,
and readjustment of salaries
that are paid from both water and
light departments.

THE LITTLE JOURNEYS
 OF COLONEL BAAIA
Delays and vicessitudes Parts of the
 Great Game

A. F. Banta, better known as Char lie,' is one of the pioneers of north ern Arizona, where since 1863 he has been a mail carrier, Government scout cowboy, prospector. newspaper editor. and many other things of interest to himself and to the historian. He spent last fall in Phoenix and left here November IS with a couple of burros, more or less indefinitely bound east ward. still looking for the same Gla- conda he has hoped to find for the past fifty years. He has just been heard from. in camp on the Blue River fourteen miles above Clifton. with Blue in Northern Greenlee county. as his destination
 As may be judged by his slow pro- gress, he has had some delays on the road, generally due to the condition of the streams which he has had to ford, particularly the Gila river, which he declared has been too full for ut terance." For fifteen days he lay at Sheldon. waiting for the flood to pass by and thereafter was weatherbound on the San Francisco river for an ad- ditional sixteen days. Starting again, Banta tells that he forded the San Francisco thirty-one times in the space of about @ dozen miles and at ntim- Der of crossings had to dig away the banks to get out of the river bottom; and this with only passing reference to quicksand. The thirty-second crossing was found impossible, so he made camp and there has remained since January 2S. Banta takes such vicissitudes as all in the course of life and probably uti- lizes any spare time he has, in sampl- ing the croppings on every nearby hill. He has long experience in the school of patience and finds little at which to cavil in the 300-mile journey, on which he will consume six months of time.
