FrankT. Gallagher, Justice
(concurring specially).
It appears to me that the only issue involved at this stage of the proceedings is whether the commissioner has jurisdiction to determine whether or not the warden shall be retained in the state service. It is my opinion under the facts and circumstances here that he has such jurisdiction. In that connection I concur specially with the opinion of Mr. Justice Loevinger and the authorities cited therein that the writ should be made absolute. It is my further opinion that if the commissioner retains jurisdiction he should proceed promptly with a hearing and a decision in the matter so that if an appeal is taken to this court it may be heard and finally decided without unnecessary delay.
