Supreme Court Gets Case In Which Former EmpIoye
 Seeks S50,O00 Damage
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD MnIifpnnprY Ala. NOY. 2S

The case of w. w. Tucker, former en.ploye of the police department of the city of Birmingham, who is seek ing $5O,0 damages for alleged wan ton and illegal discharge from the service of the city, was submitted to the supreme court Tuesday. The suit is brought by Tucker against D. E. McLendon and others, comprising the city commission of Birminghaom. Tucker claimed that he was dis charged from the service of the city for political reasons, and his place filled with an en.ploye named for po- litical reasons, and against the exist ing law, and that as result he lost valuable and lucrative position, was for long time without employment, was humiliated, embarrassed and chagrined, suffered mental pain and anguish and that his character, repu- tation and credit was damaged.
 In his suit the plaintiff set forth that at the time of his discharge, No vember 30. 1920, there was law which provided that "All employees of the city of Birmingham should be selected by the .missioners solely on account of their fitness and with out regard to their political affilia-
 
 defendants violated said law by ols- charging and removing the plaintiff from his employment with the city of Birmingham for political reasons solely, and who was not selected by the defendants solely on account of his fitness
 In the trial in Jefferson circuit court the trial judge ruled that the civil service act of 1911, under which the plaintiff claimed protection, was repealed by the five commission act of 1915 and sustained demurrers to each count of the complaint.
 The plaintiff declined to plead further, and brought the cease to the supreme court, where 1t was sub- mitted Tuesday. Horace c. Wilkin- son and w. B. Harrison represented the plaintiff, and W. A. Jenkins and w. J. Wynn the city commission.
 In a brief filed with the supreme court in the case, Fuckers attorneys recited that the three commission bill of 1911 provided that employ es of the city should be removable at the pleasure of the commission; that sub- sequent to this enactment, at the 1911 session. an act was passed placing the police department under civil service, and providing that employees in the department could be dis charged only for disobedience, in capacity or similar good cause, and after charges had been preferred in writing and trial held.

viding that Armistice Day, Nov. IL,
would not be school holiday, de-
claring this was in conflict with
the program of the American Legion
for observance of the day.
The bill provides that on Feb. IL,
Lincoln's birthday; Feb. 22, Wash
ington's birthday, Labor Day, IN
Armistice Day, Nov. IL and on every
day on which an election is held,
schools shall be in session as usual.
adding that on Feb. II, Feb. 22 and
Nov. IL schools shall devote at least
one hour of the day to patriotic ex-
ercises.
Rep. Jackson, Ramsey, supporting
Rep. Harrington, said he believed he
observance of the holidays was very
important in 'lest we lose contact
and touch with the past, it's great
events and great men, in consider
ing the problems of the present and
future" and said that "it will ,be a
sad day for North Dakota if we leg
islate out the holidays of Washing
tons and Lincoln's birthdays.
Rep. Trubshaw declared there
were too many holidays in the
schools, asserted the bill was sup
ported by educators, and pointed
out it was provided that there would
be patriotic exercises on the days
mentioned.
Rep. Vogel, Mclean, for the bill,
said that already there aref 13 holi-
days in the year, and that much is
lost in the schools because of them

With two Independents voting with
the Nonpartisan League minority the
senate yesterday accepted a report
from the committee on banks and
banking recommending for passage
Senator B. F. Bakers S. B. 144,
which would make all deposits in
bank trust funds which could not be
taken by the banker to satisfy his
claims against the depositor.
The bill came in on divided re-
port from the committee The In
dependents with the exception of
Senators Whitman of Grand Forks,
and Atkins of Towner, voted to Kill
the measure. The two senators man,
ed, however, voted with the leaguers
to put the bill on for final passage
with the result that this motion car
red.
Before taking this stand the two
Independent senators made an effort
to have the bill re-referred to COM
mittee for further amendment. Sem
ator Whitman declared that in his
opinion the bill was a good one, that
banker should have no right to
take the funds of a depositor without
due process Of law, but that he
thought it should be amended to per-
nit the bank to institute attachment
proceedings. The right to do this
under the present law is question
able.
The proposal to re-refer was voted
down. however, both Independents
and Nonpartisans joining in the re-
fusal. The vote on accepting the
committee report recommending the
bill for final passage then stood rs
to %.
The third reading of the bill was
made a special order of business for
Thursday in order to give the sena-
tors further time to hear from their
constituents in the matter.
One administration program meas.
ure was introduced during the after
noon. This was Senate Bill 1876, in
troduced by Senator Kaldor of Trail
County. It would remedy defects in
the constitutional amendment which
provided for the issuance of rural
credit bonds by the state so that
the bonds. would run for 80 years
from the date Of issuance instead of |
30 years from the date of the adop-
ton of the law as is tho case at the
present time.
