CIVIL SERVICE ACT
QUESTIONED IN SUIT
Doubt Expressed as to Author.
ity for Reinstatement Of Men
Who Had Served City

A taxpayers bill in equity, question
Ing the legality Of the action Of the
Civil Service Commission in reinstating
several city employees, was filed in
Common Pleas Court No. 8 yesterday
by Harold s. Riddiorgh. a notary, of
1925 South Fifty-fifth street.
A majority of the employees in ques-
tion are fremen and policemen who
were either dismissed from the service
or denoted ip the Smith administration.
In the list In the bill filed are the names
OF many men who were compelled to re-
sign because they refused to swear
political allegiance to the Wares.
The bill alleges that the employees,
about eighty four in number, were re-
instates in violation Of the law In that
more than one year had elapsed between
the date of their separation from the
service and the date OF their reinstate-
ment.
The fact Is all Of the men named in
the bill were reinstated by the COM
mission after It had suspended opera
tion Of the one. year rule to July 25,
1920. That was done in accordance
with an opinion given by City Solicitor
Smyth. in which he said, ~ believe it
would be competent for the Civil Service
Commission to amend rule 8 in such
manner that the disability to be re-
instated on the part Of a person who
had resigned from the service more than
one year before the application for
reinst atement should not take effect
until one year after the act of 1919
(the new charter) was in force. thus
applying to all cases and not to one
particular applicant.
1t is alleged in the bill that the re =
instatement of the employees and the
suspension of the one year rule violate
the charter act and that the reinstate-
ments therefore were illegal.
Among the employees named in the
bill are Police Lieutenant Theodore
Fem, DIR. John Wanamaker, Sd, q
police surgeon; Police Lieutenant
Frank Zinn and Police Lieutenant John
w, Milburn.

MAY DOG BAY AT THE MOON?
COURT DODGES OLD PROBLEM
Canine Cuuso aroused Entire Neighborhood- Was
Shed and Arrests We're Made

A hound dog that howled all night
and provoked a neighborhood feud in
which blood was split brought twenty
residents of North Warpock street be-
fore a magistrate in Central Station
today.
For the first time In the history Of
the magistrates courts, SO far as Is
known, the question was squarely pre-
sented: Should q dog be allowed to
bay at the moon?
Magistrate Mecleary, before whom
the novel case was brought, refused
to commit himself on the moot ques-
ton. However, he settled the argu-
ment for the time being at least by
holding Edward Duffy, Of 1887 North
WarnOck street, in $500 bail on the
charge of assault and battery. The
charge was preferred by the animals
owner, William Hughes, who lives next
door to Duffy at 1885 North Warnock
street.
For the last month, It was revealed
at the hearing, Hughes's dog has been
