YOUTH ADMITS
RESCUEH0AX.

SILVER SPRING, Md, Sept. 4.
Hungry and broke, and believing
he might receive a reward for
heroism, a 16-year-old boy last
night confessed he placed a rail
road tie across the tracks in the
path of The Diplomat, crack B.
and o. express train, just outside
Silver Spring, Md, Monday night
and then attempted to flag the
train, police said today.
When arrested by Sergt. Guy
L. Jones, of the Montgomery
county police, and two Baltimore
and Ohio detectives, Emory B.
Nicholson an. E1artin Boothe, the
youth said he had read where
persons had tagged trains, saw
irg the lives of numerous people
and had received large reward,
so he had placed the tie across
the track and then removed his
white sweater and waiting until
the train came along had tried
to flag it.
His plan failed. however, for
the engineer, unable to see the
youngster, ran into the tie which
jammed under the cowcatcher
and dragged along the rails until
the engineer was able to bring
the heavy train to a halt.

JUDGE CASEY
GOES TO BAT
|NC0URT
New Jurist axes Over
His Duties on Bench
In Police Tribunal

Instead of "Casey at the bat, "
it was Casey on the bench" today
Or Casey at bat en- the bench"
Judge Walter j. Casey, sworn
in as a Police Court judge yester-
day, received his baptism of the
general run of cases.
He disposed of the usual num-
Der of charges brought in the Dis
trict branch of Police Court, "bear-
ing down" on old offenders and
allowing others who presented
mitigating circumstances to be re-
leased on personal bond.
Gives Offender Option
George Levy, the first offender
to face the new judge, was given
the option of paying a $40 fine
or serving 10 days in Jail after
Tenth Precinct Policeman Robert
F. Goodwin testified he found
the defendant helplessly intoxi-
Gated in an alley near Sixteenth
and L Streets N. w.
Arthur Pearson did not fare
so fortunately. According to Po-
liceman c. l.. Hayden, who ar
rested him, he had been arrested
more than so times since 1922.
Judge Casey ordered him to pay
500 or serve As days for drunk
enneSS.
Appointment Surprise
Judge Casey came to Washing.
ton several years ago from Massa-
chusetts. Comparatively obscure
in Washington legal circles and
80 years of age, his appointment
to succeed Judge Ralph Given on
the police bench was as much a
surprise to him as to his fellows
on the District bar.
He had never been a candidate
for the Police Court judgeship,
although he had aspired to the
Municipal Court.
His appointment was sponsored
by Senator David I. Walsh, Demo
crat of Massachusetts,, and by
friends he had made here. He is
a graduate of Georgetown Law
School.

convention, Mr.. Mitchell revealed
that although the number of
workers on a merit system basis
decreased sharply during the first
year Of the Roosevelt Admins
tration, the tendency to avoid
patronage appointments has
gained steadily since that time.
Backs Merit System
Mr.. Mitchell pointed out that
legislation will be necessary to
allow the President to bring most
of the emergency agencies under
the civil service law through ex.
ecutive order. ). Referring to sew
eral bills now before Congress to
extend the merit system, he said:
eff Congress would pass the
legislation referred to, giving
the President power to bring
agencies under the operations
of the civil service law by execu-
tive order, there would un-
dOubtedly be a further material
increase, as some of the new
agencies which are regarded as
more or less permanent in char
acter are anxious to come
under the protection of the
civil service law, and the PreSi-
dent would then have power to
have them included"
Mr.. Mitchell refuted charges
that the Governments personnel
work is overexpensive, which he
said frequently comes up when
representatives of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission go before the
director of the budget or the ap.
preparation committees in Con-
greSS.
Saving to U. S.
He said that civil service in
quiries have revealed that Gov
eminent personnel work actually
costs less than that of advanced
private corporations, and pointed
out that much money is saved
through civil service selection
methods, adding:
There is no doubt from the
Governments own experience
that it is more costly to get
employees outside of the opera
tiOns of the civil service law
than under it.
"As an illustration, I can
quote a remark made to me a
short time ago by Chairman
Meyer of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission. He told me
that on one occasion they had
to fill about 1900 positions
from civil service lists and IL,
excepted places, and that so far
as the Interstate Commerce
Commission was concerned it
took far more time to fill the
IL places than to fill the 1000.
