ARABS PAY PENALTY
 FOR SHAVING JEWS
Government Ignores Plea of Churches for
 Reprieve

Jerusalem, June IT LP - Three Arabs, convicted of murders com mltted during the rioting of last August, today paid the supreme penalty for their participation in the disturbances of that time.
 The three were executed before noon at Acre jail. All endeavors Of the Arab executive. supported by the heads of the Christian churches, to obtain reprieve for them failed.
 A general strike was called and was observed throughout Palestine in protest at carrying out of the sentences. Shops, practically with out exception, were closed
 Intense excitement prevailed at Acre where Arabs demanded the corpses of the executed men. wish ing to bury them themselves instead of having them inferred in the pris- on cemetery.
 Meanwhile airplanes demonstrated over the town. From 10 a. m. to 10:3o a. m. church bells rang. call ing Arabs to prayer throughout the country in memorial services for the dead.
 Strong police forces watched im- portant traffic centers in Jerusalem. Arab pupils of government and Mos lem school attempted to demonstrate near Damascus Gate where the gov- ernment and Arab executive offices are located, and the police dispersed them. without use of force.
 The Arab executive offices and a number of Arab houses were drap- ed with black flags.
 Today, after the executions, the viewpoint was expressed at the Jew ish agency; we hope 1t may never be necessary again to execute Arabs for murdering Jews"

System Discarded in 1924 Should Be Re- stored, Mayor Says, Claiming There is Too Much Politics in Two Departments.
Proposal Will Be Brought Before Law Making Body at Meeting Tonight Executive Believes It Will Put Stop to Log Rolling"

Mayor George A, Quigley will ask the common council tomorrow night to authorize appointment of a civil service commission to examine an- plicants for appointment to and ad- yancement in the police and fire departments.
 There's too damn much politics in both the police and fire depart ments, Politics and log rolling must be stopped, and I believe civil service will do the job" the mayor commented today.
 Quigley was the father of civil service in New Britain. Tn his first term Of mayor he caused the system to be made effective in the two de- partments and championed 1t in several assaults, the last of which, in 1924, resulted in it's abandon ment.
 Last year as a member of the charter revision committee he brought the subject to the fore ground with the thought in mind that charter amendment might be drafted to renstate civil service. but it was agreed that no acion by the general assembly would be reauir- ed At that time he quizzed repre- scntatives of the two departments and argued that the operations of political machinery and not ques- tions Of efficiency have determined some Of the appointments made since the system Of examination sas abandoned.
 First Adopted in 1915
 Civil service began in New Britain December 30, 1915. when Quiglev appointed Albert G. Andreson, Harry C. Brown. Martin H. Kenney and Edward x. Callahan to the board. Others who have been on the board in the nine years approxi- matelv of its existence are: Dr. A. L. Avitable Clarence L. Benedict. Roger ". Egan, William J. Fowler, John F. N zrz. Charles P. QuigleT, Philip J. h and Walter Troop.
 Examinae. . papers were prepared for the comm on by experts in fire and police worrrand quizzes were conducted whenever vacancies exist cd. The three applicants having the highest standing were certified for appointment or advancement and the police or fire board was permitted to select one of the three.
 One Of 'the chief objections brought out in the successful fight against this system was the argu- ment that an intelligence test does not permit consideration of tempera- ment, experience and known ability in the face Of an examination result placing younger. less experienced but better educated men among the high three
 At the hearing before the cities and horoughs committee of the gen eral assembly, Senator Ernest ". Christ led the opposition 10 civil service and lnsinuated that copies of the examination came into the pos session Of some applicants far in ad- vance of the meeting night.
 Mayor Quigley said today no ac- ton by the general assembly is nec- essary to return the system to oper- ation, q favorable vote Of the com mon council alone being required

Employment of Fewer Substitutes | During Summer Would Save Ex- E. penditure of s3 ,00O Which Could
 Be Used to Aid Needy Families l. 10 Members of Station i Unani-
 mously in Favor of Project.

! An official poll of the fire depart hlent was started today to determine how many of the officers and men are willing to give up one of their two weeks vacation period this year to make $300O available for unem- ployment relief and early indica- lions pointed to unanimous approval.
 This being Hong day Tn the de- partment or the day on which one platoon works24 hours to effect the change from day to night duty, 1t will be impossible for Chief W. J. Noble to determine the sentiment of the full membership until the men of duty today report tomorrow morning at o'clock.
 Station Men Approve
 Capt. James Grove, in charge of Etation 4 canvassed both platoons of his company and filed a report showing the entire 10 members will ing to take one week vacation ip- stead Of two The day shifts in oth- CT houses will be Canvassed this aft ernoon after having had opportunity to discuss the proposition advanced to them this morning. It was ex- rected that the men would follow the lead Of their captains. the en- tire nine of whom voted for the un- employment relief measure today.
 Until last year, the annual vac1- tion period was for two weeks. Al the suggestion of t1o commissioners, ths board of finance and taxation made provision for two weeks, al- lowing an appropriation for that amount. This was approved by inc common council and made effective last summer The cost is approxi- mately s3.000.
 Less Work For Substitutes
 The fire department includes % men all of whom. from the chief down to the privates. are entitled to two weeks vacation Should they decide to cut this in half, their in come for the year will not be re- duced since they are paid for 52 weeks although they work but 50. Substitute fremen will receive less employment and the balance left in the fund for this type of help will be available for charity work or em- ployment projects.
 Mayor Quigley, Chairman Emil Hjerpe and Chief Noble today spoke in terms of high com pliment to the men in the ranfs for the attitude expressed thus far.
 Tt IS certainly wonderful thing. coming voluntarily from q sroup of men who are certainly not over paid the mayor commented
 Another economy in the fire de- partment to be considered is a post ponement of repairs at headquarters where a sagging roof prompted the finance board to set aside S2.00O for reconstruction. The board will not make the repair at present but will wait until later in the year when, commissioners are hopeful. condi- tions may be more favorable
