REMAINS OF ROMAN SHELTER
Intensely Interesting Discovery Said
to Have Been Made In the
North Of England.

A lady member Of the Cumberland
and Westmoreland Antiquarian So
ciety of England has had the good for
tune to discover what Is believed to be
a Roman bloomery, or ancient smelt-
ing furnace. Her attention was drawn
to the place by the work of moles,
which recently exposed some Of the
remains, and again later by the burn
ing Of the whins formerly concealing
the hearth and other features of the
bloomery, near Forest How.
BY some exploration with spade,
she traced the foundations Of large
hearth, twelve yards in diameter. and
a number of heaps of cinders, Stag
and ore; and she also turned up spec
linens Of Roman tiles, with pottery,
Stag and hematite. The size of the
hearth Of the Forest How bloomery
marks 1t as quite different from the
ordinary north-country medieval iron
furnaces, which run from seven to
nine or ten feet In diameter, for the
one just found Is twelve yards across.
This appears to be worth further ex-
ploration and probably money for that
purpose will be found.

An oldish man In rusty-brown clothes
and with rusty-brown beard met up
with pin. 1t was shining sharply
bright on a tagging, and he stopped
to pick 1t up.
He had stiff joints and his fingers
were in that state informally known
as bungly. So he had trouble picking
up the pin.
A young man paused to offer his
services, but the old one refused. He
just grunted and grumbled until at last
victory came his way. Then he
Strengthened up his rickety joints and
put a hand on his back.
I'm not as young as / used to be-"
he admitted, as genially as his joints
would allow. But you know the old
saying:
"'See a pin and let 1t lay. you'll
have bad luck all the day. See pin
and pick 1t up and you are sure to have
good luck
$50 never pass one by"
And yet he didn't look as lucky as
a man ought to be who had made a
life habit of picking up pins.-Wash-

FIND STEAMER LONG BURIED
Dredging Operations In the Mersey
Disclose Remains Of Vessel That
Had Been Forgotten.

For some time past the Mersey

have evidently been embedded for

doubtless is due the fact that they
still retain cohesion and shape, and

The vessel, cleared of superintendent

The prevailing opinion is that she

erpool and the Irish capital, which on
the 18th of January, 1910, was wreck

the jewels of Mrs. Regina Millhiser,
said to have been stolen from safety

MERIT SYSTEM GIVEN
BOOM BY CHARTER
Action Of Legislature on Public
Jobs Praised in Civil Serv-
ice Bulletin
COMMISSION OF 3 RESTORED

The merit system has been materi..
ally advanced through the passage OF
the charter revision section on civil
service. according TO the latest analysis
OF the new legislation by the Bureau of
Municipal Research.
The failure of the attempted exten-
sion to county departments is comment
cd upon and emphasis is laid upon what
can be expected underJthe section made
part of the bill finally signed by Gov
ernor Sproul. On the subject of civil
service the bulletin says:
'Of the two articles of this bill that
underwent the most drastic changes. the
article on civil service is one. Never
theless. it is gratifying to report that
the net result of the legislatures action
is an advance and not retreat for the
merit system in Philadelphia. Briefly
stated, this result is as follows:
Extension of Law
THE charter bill as first introduced
provided for an extension of the civil
service law to county departments and
to the departments in the twilight zone
between county status and mayoral
jurisdiction, such as the Paramount
Park Commission. with all its park
guards. The receiver of taxes. who en-
joyed special exemption from civil serv-
ice, was also to be included under the
| law.
| This progressive proposal failed al
together. The new charter expressly lin
its the application of merit principles
to the departments and bureaus that
already were under civil service.
The original charter bill proposed a
single service commissioner instead of a
commission of three, and the selection
of this commissioner by two thirds
vote of all the members elected to the
/ city council instead of by appointment
! by the mayor.
! The new charter law restores the com
mission of three, but retains the new
method of having the commissioners
chosen by the city council. although
by a majority rather than by two
third vote.

charter bill to reduce from four to two

KANE DEFENDS HIS WORK
Shifts Blame In Fraud Case Crlti'
clsm to Commissioner

Francis Fisher Kane, United States
district attorney, who was criticized
by Judge Thompson. of the United
States District Court. for procuring
an indictment before the accused had
been before commissioner, explained
his position in the matter yesterday.
The indictment in question was
against Charles n. jerks and Elmer
f. Patten, clerks in the Federal Re-
serve Bank, accused of indulging in
high finance with government bonds.
Mr.. Kane said it had been more or
less of a common practice to bring the
cases into court without the commits
sioner's hearing.
The district attorney also said that
the hearing of the two men had been
postponed until June 6. the last day on
which he could present bills of indict-
ment to the grand jury for this term of
court. Mr.. Kane said that on that date
the commissioner telephoned that it
would be impossible for him to conduct
the hearing and that then the grand
jury was asked to return the indict-
ment.
The case now will go over to the Sep
tember term of court Mr.. Kane said and
the men. in the meantime. will be taken
for a hearing before the commissioner
