"Unfair" in Influencing
Quick Action

The State Civil Service Commission,
by resolution few days ago. confirmed
certain resolutions adopted by the Mu-
nicipal Civil Service Commission
shortly after the defeat of Mayor
Mitchell, putting into the competitive,
or protected, class scores of positions
which the Hylan administration was de-
pending upon to use as rewards for
service in the campaign.
The greatest number from any one
division of the city service was in en-
ployes Of the municipal courts. On De-
cember %, as q sort of Christmas pres
ent to ninety clerks and assistant clerks
in the municipal courts of the greater
city, the state commission, following
the action of the municipal commission,
covered all these employees into the
competitive class, making it impossible
to remove them except upon sustained
charges.
This action was taken only after the
most earnest appeal had been made to
Governor Whitman by prominent lead
ers in Tammany Hall not to have it
done. Charles F. Murphy took a per-
sonal interest in the subject. and his
agents tried to impress the Governor
with what they alleged was the "un-
fairness" Of the action Of the local
commission.

Superintendents Transferred
AS First Step to Drop Gary Plan
Two Advocates of Duplicate System Are Sent Districts
Where 1t Is Not in Operation-Other
Moves Expected

Part time sessions for an army of
New York school children are threat
cncd through the first official steps
taken by the Hylan Board of Educa-
tion to eliminate the Gary plan from
the city's educational system.
The first official step toward curtnl-
ing school activities under the Gary
plan came in the form of the transfer
of the two most enthusiastic advocates
OF tho plan to districts where they will
have no connection with schools ir
which the Curry plan is in use. While
none of the officials of tho board would
discuss the significance of their action,
it was generally believed that the
transfers were to be followed by
further moves to return to the old
fashioned system all of tho assistant
superintendents who have been asso-
ci"ted with the Gary movement.
William McAndrew, associate super
intendent in charge of the Gary
schools, was transferred to the work
schools in District No. /, Manhattan,
in which place he will have nothing
to do with Gary schools. Joseph S.
Taylor, district superintendent Of the
eleven Gary schools in The Bronx, was
trans ferred to Districts ID and 18,
Manhattan. which boasts of no Gary
schools.

locked upon as the most enthusiastic

Flynn's Tilt With
Gregory Was Over
German Plotters
Department Of Justice Said
to Have Resented Success
of Secret Service

The differences between William J.
Flynn and the Department of Justice
which forced him to resign from the
head Of the United States Secret Ser
vice, had their inception more than
three years ago.
When the activities of Count Won
Rernstortf and his attaches were first
brought to the attention Of the Depart
ment of State, it was to the United
States Secret Service, with it's corps OF
trained detectives, Mat the govern
ment turned.
Long before the general public was
aware of Won Bernstortf's activities
or those of his attaches, Captains Boy
Ed and Won Papen and Geheimrat
Heinrich Albert, Chief Flynn and his
agents learned their plans and reporte i
to the Department of State.
Wilson Lauded Flynn
1t will be recalled that following the
'nterception of the Zimmerman note
to Mexico, in which the Kaiser's Tor
eign Secreary sought to embroil this
country with Mexico and Japan, Presi-
dent Wilson paid public tribute to the
United States Secret Service for the
work it did in this connection. Moth
ing was said Of the Department of JUS
tce.
This work, and even more important
work of the United States Secret Ser
vice, caused some of the officials of
the Department of Justice to seek a.
way to shut off Chief Flynn's work in
running down pro-German terrorists
~, RI IL
was stated yesterday.
tered the war Chief Flynn proposed
that all Secret Service agencies of the
government (there are nine in alD be
consolidated with one man at the
head. Chief Flynn said that he was
not candidate for the head of the
proposed consolidated Secret Service
and would gladly work under any one
selected for the job.
This was the signal for Cabinet off
Gals, with one or two exceptions, who
nave their own secret service agencies,
to join hands with the Department Of
Justice men. it is understood.
Flynn Resented Idleness
Shortly thereafter Attorney General
Gregory issued a circular letter. which
was sent to all United States marshals
ana united States attorneys, defining
the work Of various government Off
cials. Friends of Chief Flynn saw in
this direct slap at the United States
Secret Service, for in the letter the
head of the Department Of Justice spoke
OF Flynn's. department as being en-
gagged solely in running down couter-
feiters.
A little later Chief Flynn and his
corps OF trained detectives who were
familiar with German plots and knew
the German plottors, found themselves
warming chairs. Flynn went to Secre-
that if the government did not want
TO TO use his men he had under him for
the most vital work the government
was engaged in outside Of the actual
prosecution of the war itself, and work
they could we'll perform, he would re-
sign.
Mr., McAdoo tried to have work as
signed to Chief Flynn and his men. but
without success. After several months
csigned.

Hylan's Reliance
On 3. r. T. Train
Now INDICATED
Mayor, at Office Early,
Makes Crossman a City
Magistrate

Mayor Hylan decided yesterday to
give tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit an
other trial, and the road proved faith
ful to the trust. Mr.. HylAn arrived at
his office, via the b. X. T.. in City
scheduled hour. He still owes himself
TOUR minutes, as he was three min
Cte late Wednesday and six minutes
late Thursday.
The only appointment tho Mayor an
nounced yesterday was that of Moses
H. Grossman, of the law Arm of House.
Grossman g. Vorhaus, of 115 Broad
way, as temporary city magistrate.
The Mayor added two members to his
coal committee. T. B. Patterson and
John +. birmingham. The Mayor held
zeal of time on the coal situation.
Bullock May Get Berth
The desire of the Mayor to appoint
his friend, David hlrsnneid, as COM
missioner Of Accounts, has met with
opposition from the Tammany organi-
cation. Tammany wants William Bul-
lock. director of the Bureau of City In
qury, to have the place. Ii Mr.. Hlrsh-
field is appointed, Mr.. Bullock will
probably be made Deputy Commits
sloner Of Accounts.
There was q report at the City Hall
yesterday that Arnold j. McStay, who
is acting in a temporary capacity as
head Of the Street Cleaning Department.
may remain there for some time.
Stories Of Irregularities in the depart
ment have reached the Mayors ears
and are said to have prompted him to
put no one in as commissioner until he
has had q chance to investigate the
department through the Commissioner
of Accounts Office. Alderman Francis
P. Bent, who represents Judge Hylans
Brooklyn district, is still slated for the
JoD. Unless it is abolished, he is ex-
pected to be made Director of the Bu-
reau Of Contract Supervision, Of the
Board Of Estimate, with salary of
$4,000. That is the place the alder
mans friends say he would like.
The appointment Of Health Commits
sioner is understood to lie between Dr.

In order to make the transfers i'm
mediately it was necessary to change
the rules Of procedure of the Board Of
Education. Under rule that has been
In operation for several years, 1t was
not possible to transfer district or
associate superintendent until the end
changed through the adoption of q
series Of seemingly unimportant rules
at the organization meeting of the
Hylan board Of seven members last
Wednesday.
Advocates of the Garv or duplicate
school plan, under which many chill
dren who otherwise would be on part
time now are going to school for all
day sessions. are convinced that the
new moves will be followed at once by
others that will eliminate the Gary ex-
pertinent in the thirty-hve schools
where it now is in operation The adop-
superintendents may be transferred At
once, is looked upon as part of we'll
worked out programme.
More Part-Time Pupils Likely
But the most important feature Of
the changes, as already made. is that
the number of part-time pupils--for
many years one of the city's educa-
tional problems-promises to be in
creased by the change. In The Bronx.
where an anti-Gary plan official is to
take immediate charge, 10000 pupils are
now attending school for allday ses-
sions at the eleven Gary schools.
The 10000 pupils are going to school
for all day sessions because of the Gary
duplicating plan, it was pointed out
yesterday, and would be given only
part-time sessions in the event Of a
return to the old plan. That such a
move is contemplated is believed to be

Grow Crimson Clover.


The fact that crimson clover makes
a good growth early in the spring,
which furnishes green forage and
splendid pasture for all farm stock,
is one of the chief reasons why 1t
should be more extensively grown.
Tor feeding purposes it may be used
as a soiling crop, hay, ensilage and
pasture. 1t is of special value as a
green-manure crop to increase the
humus and nitrogen content of the
soils upon which it is produced. Even
when cut for hay or seed the stubble
and roots which remain greatly in
crease the soils fertility. These ad-
vantages, together with methods OF
caring for the crop, are discussed in
Farmers Bulletin 597, Crimson Clo-
yer: Utilization" recently published
by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
In order to obtain the best hay,
crimson clover should be cut when
the most advanced heads are begin
ming to show faded flowers at their
base. At this stage the plants con-
tain a maximum amount of protein
and dry matter while the leaves are
still present and the stems are COM
