HAND PICKING BY
CIVIL SERVICE BOARD
Court Upscts Plan to Limit
Contest for Chief En-
aminer to Three.

An enor, by Municipal Civil Service
win r. James. Jr.. and Alexander Keogh
to bar all except three persons from the
examination for chief examiner OF the
commission failed yesterday when JUS
tice Scudder Of the supreme court,
Brooklyn, granted writs OF m%andanus
To Charles :. Fowler and Elmer q.
story, per diem examiners. whom the
commission had held ineligible.
In granting the writs Justice Srudder
said "My conclusion Is that the COM
mission violated both the letter and
spirit Of is own rules He intinlatcd
thai: the commission had undertaken to
~"handpick" It's chief examiner from the
thre" assistant chief examiners. II. said
that the examination proposed by the
commission was not really the sort
OF competitive examination called for
by the civil service law.
"lt all passed. he pointed out, 'the
eligible list would contain only three
names. and under its own rules the
commission could legally appoint any
one of the three"
The commission, represented by AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Hardy, held
that an exercise OF discretion was justi-
fed In filling the most important posi-
ton In their office.
The %petition!ng examiners were told
that their status as day workers barred
them from taking the examination. The
rule barring them was passed after
their applications had been filed with
the commission. Justice Scudder's ac-
ton yesterday reinstates them as com
petitors.

NEW YORK CENTRAL LOSES.
Has No RiRht to Land Decided h!
King james ~.

WHITE PLAINS. y Y, April l3-Ius-
tice Tompkins Of the supreme Court
ruled to-day that the state had no title
to certain lands under water between
North ~Tarrytown aud Peekskill, and
therefore had 10 right to convey the
lands to the New York Central Railroad.
II is believed that the decision will re-
suit In a long litigation by the corpora
ton to get legal title to the lands.
The decision involved the interpreted
ton of letters of royal patent, issued
on June :. 1897, to Stcphanus Van cort-
which royal patent the King conveyed
to the Van Cortlandts lands on the east
side Of the Hudson River. extending
from what Ii now known as philipse

ing the village OF Peekskill The action

A.. REFUSES to recover the lands under
the waters OF the coyes and bays adj
iacent to his property. lands for which
the railroad company received grants
from the state in 1873, and is now using
IN its railroad business,
Justice Tompkins decided that the king
of England was originally the proprietor
of the soil under the navigable waters
In this State and had power to grant
title thereof to Il subject. aud that the
words "coves. bays and iul.ts" In the
royal grant to Stephanus Van Cortland,
conveyed to him title to the lands under
the waters of said bays. coves and inlcts,
and that therefore the State had no
title to said lands and no power TO con.
vcy them to the railroad corporation.

RIGGS PLEA FOR AN
EARLY TRIAL DENIED
Bank Probably Will Quit Re-
serve System Rather Than
Drop Its Officers.
CASE NJ UP MAY 8

WASHINGTON. April 1~3.-Supreme
Court Justice siddons denied the motions
to-day Of the three indicted officials of
the Riggs National Bank-President
Charles q. Glover, Vice-President WILL
am J.. Flather and ex-Cashier Henry n.
Flather-for an order expeditins their
trial on indictments for perjury. which
previously had been fixed for May 3 Jus
tice Siddons also denied motions by the
banking officials asking that the Dis
trict Attorney be ordered to furnish
their counsel q more concise bill OF par
ticulars than the list Of 93c items OF
alleged stock transactions which al.
ready had been furnished.
Justice Siddons's decision followed sew
eral days consideration OF the motions
and arguments made by the District At
torney and the banks counsel last week.
The bankers' counsel. had CHARGED that
Comptroller Of the Currency Williams in
tended to use criminal indictments
against their clients as grounds for re-
fusing to renew the charter of the bank
when 1t expires July / except on condi-
ton that President Glover and Vice.
President Flather he remove by the
board Of directors. In turn the Distric,
Attorney stated that the case already
had been expedited IN Difference To
wishes OF the defendants and that "A
trial could not be given at a date
earlier han May y without injustice
10 persons interested in other pending
cases.
Touching on the subject Of an earlier
assignment for the cases Justice Siddons
said
Upon consideration OF the motion to
assign these cases Tor trial on an earlier
date and of the affidavit OF the attorney
OF the United States In response thereto.
by which 1t appears that he has assigned
and advanced the case Of the defendants
for trial on May s. 1916. and OF the oral
arguments and authorities cited. the said
motions are hereby overruled."
With reference to the prayer for an
additional bill OF particulars the decision
says:
''On the oral argument in support o.
the motions for bills OF particulars II
was insisted on behalf OF the defendants
that the bill of particulars filed by the
attorney OF the United states was for
several reasons nc such bill of particu-
lars as was called for by them. Upon
consideration the court IL Of the opinion
hat the bill OF particulars SO hl~i
reasonably complies with the require
m.nts OF said motions and the same are
therefore overruled."
Justice Siddons's decision is regarded
here az evidence OF a strong probability
that the Riggs National Bank will with
draw from the Federal reserve system.
II is understood that the directors OF the
bank already have decided not to CON-
sen; to Comptroller williams's demand
that the present officials OF the bank be
deposed. Inasmuch as the trial will not
begin before May s it is doubted that a
! fnal decision can be secured long enough
before July | TO enable the bank to post
pone arrangements for taking out a
State charter.

MARSHALL FACES
CONTEMPT CHARGE
House Committee Recommends
That lie Be Cited for Acrid
Criticism.
HE Is EXPECTED TO FIGHT

WASHINGTON. April 13.-Thc select
committee OF the House decided unani-
mously to-day to recommend that II.
Snowden Marshall, United States Dis
trict Attorney OF New York. be cited
before that body for contempt.
1t is for the House itself TO decide
whether this action shall be taken. II
also is for the House to decide what
punishment shall be imposed. The conf
mittee makes no suggestion upon his
latter point. II will be decided when the
select committe brings in its report to-
morrow.
There is little doubt that the recon-
mendation of the select committe will
be adopted. What action Is to follow
depends In large measure on the attitude
to be taken by the District Attorney.
II he chooses to appear before the House
to explain his side OF the controversy
and makes an explanation which may
be taken as an apology 1t IL bic
nat this will be regarded az sufficient
reparation. II, on the other hand, he
should resort to legal proceedings and
contest the authority of the House TO
summon him II Is probable that a long
draw out controversy will result.
There IL no disposition on the part Of
the members of the House familiar with
the circumstances to deal summary
with District Attorney Marshall. II is
quite probable that other persons who
have taken an active interest in the
charges made by Representative Bu-
chanan will he dealt with later. II is
assumed that II the District Attorney
appears the contempt proceedings will
he little more than a Formally. There
is some doubt, however. that Mr.. Mar
shall will submit tamely to the decree
of the House. He may carry the case
TO the courts and resist the Of
the House by "A writ OF habeas corpus.
In this event the case might be carried
before the Supreme Court.
The case began with the Indictment OF
Representative Buchanan of Illinois in
connection with a pro-German con-
spiracy. Representative Buchanan made
sweeping charges against District Attor-
ney Marshall. alleging that his office
was being conducted in a high handed
manner. These were made the subject
of an investigation by a subcommittee
OF the House Judiciary COMMITTEE. Ny.
Marshall charged that the investigation
was conducted In bad faith. that the
testimony of rogues n biackmailcrs
was being aired TO discredit him. and
that the House was seeking To- stand
Sck OF Mr.. Buchanan. Th,S. We're con-
tanned IN q letter 10 CHAIRMAN Car.tn
OF the Subcommittee. In a second letter,
addressed to Representative webb. chair
man of the J~liciarv Committee. Mr..
Marshall explained that he did not mean
TO reflect upon members OF the House
generally nor the Judiciary committee.
But he did not retract his citicism of
the subcommittee
The correspondence was brought to
the attention OF the House. which APP
pointed a select committee Of five mem
bers to consider the question OF con
tempt proceedings. Mr.. Marshall APP
p.ared before this committee last week
ard reiterated MS charges. The action
~ the select committee to-day is the
result.
