CHICAGO, July 22.-Chief Justice
John r. Caverly of the criminal court

the surprising action of the defense

viting the mercy of the court.
II the tremendous responsibility

youths that their action in waving
trial by jury made it possible for
the court to impose the death penalty,

Caverly is in direct contrast to the

Has Long Record.
Justice Caverly was born in Eng

years old. He has a long and en-

and as a magistrate. AS attorney for

Luther Steward in his reply to AS

agreed in few particulars, but took
issue vigorously with him over the
methods actually employed in max
ing the present reclassitication.
/, Mr.. Steward objects to the state
ment of Gov. Bartlett that the clerks
''for the most part were permitted
"to write out the nature of the work
they had been doing" in submitting
records for the Personnel Classif1ca-
ton Board.
Gov Bartlett. according to Mr..
Steward, 'is absolutely incorrect on
he says was followed is the very
procedure which was urged upon the
board by the National Federation of
Federal Employees; it is the very
procedure which was followed by that
eminently fair body, the Congress
fication of salaries, that did the
original work in the field of classi-
fication in the District of Colum bia;
it is the very procedure that was
rejected by the Personnel Classifca-
tion Board, acting under the dominat-
ing influence of the United States
Bureau Of Efficiency.
Employees Here Not Heard.
THE great body of Government
employees in the District of Colum bia
were classified on the basis of
statement of their duties and re-
sponsibilities, made originally by the
administrative officers of the depart
sentatives of the United States
Bureau of Efficiency. The great ma
jority of the employees never saw the
statement of their duties and never
had an opportunity to comment upon
or revise it. They have never had
their day in court either to present
the facts regarding their work nor
to argue the application of the terms
of the act to these facts. They have
never had the opportunity to consult
the class specifications, which the act
directed the board to prepare and
publish, because the board did not
comply with the act in this matter.
The board has been run, not as
court, but as star chamber, and
the only person on it who has shown
real grasp of the fundamental
principles of the act has been the
representative of the Civil Service
Commission"
