wwen came back to America
The three members of the Civil Service
Commission uppolntcd by Mnyor ItlnnU
enburg, who were dismissed by Mnyor
Smith, packed their belongings nnd left
the office shortly before noon todny.
They did not wnlt until their successors
I were sworn In. They sent n note to the
Mayor In which they admitted his abso
lute power to removo them. Tho com
munication carried no spirit of vindictive
ness.
None of the members of tho ousted com
mission would say what their plans wcro.
The action of the Mnyor was tnken be
cause of the refusal of tho commissioners i sndor
to resign. They are Frank M. Itlter, n
former Director of Public Safety: Louis
11. Van .Dcusen, who wns prominent In
the reform innks, nnd Peter Ilolgcr, n
former newspaperman.
They were succeeded todny by:
Samuel It. Griffith, wool merchant.
William II. Krcldcr, Inwycr.
Nicholas Albrcacht. n merchant.
Mr. Krcldcr wns n member of tho Civil
Service Commission under Mnyor ltcy
burn. He Is snld to have been Indorsed
by Edward A. Devlin. Penrose llcutcnnnt
In the Sth Word. Allirencht Is a Demo
crat and his appointment Is regarded ns
a victory for tho "old guard" of tho
Democratic party. He got a Job ns tho
minority member. Mr. Griffith Is n, broth
er of David II. (titllth. u lawyer and
former member of Common Council.
The letter of the ictiring Commission
ers to the Mnyor follows:
"Your letter under date of January
7, exercising your constitutional rights
of removing tho Civil Service Com
missioners, wns duly received tills
morning nnil Is cordially ncqulcsccd In,
for we have no personal deslru to re
tain our office.
'"Wo felt it a public duty to place the
responsibility upon tho appointing
poner. where It properly belongs, of
exercising the bare constitutional
rights of removal or of assigning the
'good cause' provided for In the net. of
Assembly creating tho commission.
Hnving done this, and your power of
rcmovul being nbsolutc, there remains
nothing further for us to do but to
vncato our offices, now that such
power of removal has been exercised
by you.
"We beg to Inform you that If we
can render any servlco to tho now
commission in Its Initial nork we will
gladly do so.
"FltANIC M. ItlTEn,
"PKTEU nOLGEIl.
"LEWIS II. VAN DUSEN."
Pending tho swearing In of the now
commissioners Chief Clerk Corliss Is In
charge of tho Civil Service offices on the
seventh floor of City Hall. Mayor Smith
Is in Atlantic City today and on that ac
count tho new commissioners will not
tako their oaths of office until Monday,
In nil probability.
The retiring commissioners mndo public
an opinion from Frank P. Prlchnrd, an
attorney, concerning the Major's right of
removal. Mr. Prlchard said that the
Mayor's right could not bo questioned.
He also pointed out that tho Constitu
tion hnving given to tho appointing power
the right to removo at pleasure, the re
moval would take effect under that power
even If the Legislature by the act of 1900
had Intended to provide for any contest
of the reason such provisions would be
Ineffective.
by every tni'iuis to persuade us to glvo Up
ine expedition. .My opinion Is It Is very
Importnnt thnt we take n snfc position
here hnd defend Salonlcn during the win
ter; then. If n. i great expedition is thought
out, this will tie up n hostile force anil
prevent their being withdrawn to another

115,000 ball each by United States Com

remanded to the county prison. Each

with the exception of Collins, who hnd
thlce revolvers.
The most modern nnd complete set of
bflrgar tools tljnl has ever been seen by
the postal Inspectors In this city was
cbitflscated. The men bpcraled with the
Intest scientific appliances for cracking
safes, which consisted of two ncetyllne
blowers, oxygen tdbes, two electric
Jimmies, rubber gloves, goggles nnd as

Ululer their coats. Several newspaper
photographers nttemptcd to take their
picture without nvnil. nnd the police
plrotogrnpiicr likewise fnllcd.
According to Inspector Cortclyou, the
men have been trn.lcd nt Pennsgrove for
Ihe' Init four weeks. On December 22 nn
unsuccessful attempt was made to rob
the post office, but the thieves were
frightened off. Ever since that time, pos
thl('lnspectors have been watching those

which Is distributed ovcry second Frldny

"Their oiitllt wns the best I have ever

ha'c opened ntmost any safe In the coun

"The Greeks fear the Germans too much
to nttempt the protection of their coun
try. They say they will remain on
lookers, nnd w.II admit the enemy If we
Insist on remaining here. They nre most
misernblc ns one can Imagine. All We
have to do Is to mnke them fear us more
