It) OUST SON-IN-LAW
Smith Says Action Charging
Appointment Violated Civil
Service Law Is Trifling
Affair
3fcOOK AT RECORDS ASKED
Mayor Smith la not Interested In the
chra that William S, Robertson, his
wnuvawf -was appointed to his Job as-
Investigator for the Civil Service Commls
nlon In violation of the Civil Service laws.
A taJtpayer'n suit to prove this conten
tion and force public Investigation of the
records has been brought by George D.
Carfrey, of 4938 North Camac street. The
Mayor's political foes are Interested.
When questioned concerning the suit to
day the Mayor said;
"It appears to be n trifling matter and
I aht not much Interested In the suit. I'm
not Acquainted with Sir. Carfrey. t hae
nothing to say In reply to his allegations.
I suppose they will be answered by the
Civil Service Commission at the proper
time."
An official of the commission said that
Robertson was placed In n noncompeti
tive class on account of peculiar quali
fications. The suit was brought yesterday after
noon In Common Picas Court, No. 2.
Judg'n Barrett granted a writ of alterna
tive. Iriandamus. setting May 6 as the
date Upon "which tho Civil Service Com
missioners would be required to show
cause why the records of the commission
should not be open to publlo Inspection.
In his petition for the writ Carfrey sets
forth that the first application to ex
amine the records was made March 30.
The following day, the petition continues,
tho attorneys were Bhown three applica
tion ".papers, one of Herman Smith, cx
butler to Mayor Smith, who sought a
position ns elevator Inspector, but failed
In tho examination : Robert A. ntts, pro
visional chief of the Bureau of Elevator
Inspection, and William A. Uobcrtson.
Tfie date of March 20 was stamped upon
the back of the latter document.
Thfr petition continues that Robertson
took: a noncompetitive examination on
March 13 and received his appointment
March 16.
It Is held that the dull service act has
been violated In several respects, particu
larly In the section declaring that appli
cations shall be filed a reasonable time
before the proposed examination and that
the competlthe clans shall Include all posi
tions except such as are exempt In the non
competitive or labor classes.
The fact that applications of the attor
neys to examine records of the commis
sion were refused Is declared to be one
reason why the petitioner could not certify
the facta alleged In relation to Robertson's
appointment, but he adds that the alle
gations "are based In large measure upon
statements made by the commission."
Numerous attempts were made by at
torneys for the plaintiff to examine the
records. On March 22, Carfre declares,
they were Informed by Robert M. Orimth,
president of the commission, that hie com
mission was, "too busy." On March 23
and 24 the same answer was returned by
Mr. Griffith.
On March 27 Mr. Faught presented a. re
quest In writing. Mr. Krelder, secretary
pt the commission, said he would forward
reply In writing. No reply was received
f u
until April a. on April ll tho attorneys
for Carfrey again went to the commis
sion office and presented a -written re
quest to be permitted to examine the rec
ords. They were Informed, It Is declared,
by Mr. Griffith and Commissioner Albrecht
that the matter of granting access to the
records was entirely In the hands of Mr.
Krelder, who was absent.
A suit similar to that filed yesterday
was brought against the Civil Service
Commission under the "Keyburn adminis
tration, but before the date set for the
hearing the commission complied with re
quest made by the plaintiff and permitted
examination of Its records. In a state
ment last night the Citizens' Republican
League announced It would co-operate
with Carfrey In prosecuting the suit.
HEIRESS DIES AFTER
MARRYING CHAUFFEUR
Continued from rase One
prevented It, because Stevens was a di
vorcee. They then went to Key West,
and later to Havana.
CATHOLIC CANON INTEnPRETEC.
It the facts concerning the marriage of
Stevens and MIsj McLaughlin, as set forth
In the cablegram from Havana, are cor
rect. It was pointed out by a. Catholic
churchman of this city today, the Catholic
Bishop of Cuba permitted the ceremony
only after it had been established that
Stevens formerly had not been validly
married In the eyes of the church. If ono
of the parties to a marriage Is unbap
tljed, tho marriage Is void.
This Is not held true In the case of the
mariage of two unbaptized persons, whose
marriage Is held valid by the church
Stevens, aparently, had not been baptized
as the account of his baptism is given In
press reports of tho. elopement. A bishop
has authority to permit a marriage after
(he case has been passed upon by the
diocesan marriage court, While the dla
patch does not mention such action. It is
jirobable that his decision was made,
otherwise the cermony could not have
Tieen performde.

"Are you ready to meet the test?" he
asked, "Are you ready to go In where
American Interests and those of humanity
coincide and to come out as soon an the
interests of humanity have been satisfied?
Are you ready to see that American Inter
ests shall cease when the balance for
humanity Is readjusted? Are you ready?"
Cheers of "es" answered him.
His appeal, while not directly linked

stood clearly ns referring to tho Southern

mean."

siastic over party success, but that he
was Interested In seeing tho load depress
ing humanity lifted, he mentioned no Re
publican by name ; but when ho spoke of
"ambition and heroics" there were shouts
of "T a"
Referring Incidentally to Mexico,' he told

"May God continue to preserxe the na
tion In peace," tho Senator added.
Mrs. Wilson and the wives of the Cabi
net officers occupied a box during the
speaking.
The dinner was In the nature of a Dem
ocrutlc rally. All the speeches were
political. Wherever references were made
to Democratic achievements and alleged
failure of Republican policies, the
audience rose to shout and cheer.
Throughout the addresses of all the
speakers there was a constant reminder
that the Democratic par.ty In Its coming
national campaign will lay particular
stress upon the enactment of the Federal
reserve banking act as "the greatest boon
to business the country has known."

Sees Roosevelt as Candidate
That Ambition May
Be Satisfied
MENTIONS WALL STREET
"The sinister and Invisible government
which dominates those who critlelso tho

restore to power the Hcpublicftn party"
was round! v Fcored by Senator Charles
S Thomas, of Colorado, and Senator .!.
Hamilton I.ewli. of Illinois, before 100
Democrats nt n banquet to celebrate the
173d anniversary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson Inst night In the Continental
Hotel.
Preparedness, "the mask of monop
oly, by which Hie vested Interests seek
to regain control of the Government of
the United States," will be tho real Issue
of the coming presidential campaign,
snld Senator Th.oin.-iq. Xrtthlng else, ho
said. Ii left to tho Republican party but
to nppenl to n fnke sense of patriotism,
and he saw on tho political liorlmn In
tho nenr future "the nomination of Theo
dore Boosevelt and the formation of n
league bent on patriotism, plunder and
tho Presidency, the latter going to the
Colonel, the plunder to Wall street nnd
the patriotism to the people."
After referring to the work dono by tho
Wilson Administration, he spoke of tho
Issuo of preparedness.
COLON'nL, STOI.U PnCPAHMDVUSS.
"Before It whs fairly horn.' he said,
"rtoosovolt stole It and whether he la
guilty or grand larceny Is yet to bo seen.
Preparedness Is, however, woven all
round protection Protection Is nt the
bottom, In the middle nnd on both sides
of the Republican Issue of preparedness.
Scratch a Republican spenker on prepared
ness nnd you will find nn advocate of pro
tection "
Scnntor Lewis dwelt at length upon the
condition Into which the country hns been
plunged, he snld. by Republican misrule,
quojlng both Taft nnd Roosevelt to prove
that "Courts have been debauched, busi
ness demoralized nnd commerce and In
dustry paralyzed as a result of the poli
cies of a Republican Administration."
After reviewing the constructive legisla
tion of tho Democratic Congress, Senator
Lewis said'
"Everywhere the Republicans are pre
senting candidates whose sole claim tn
consideration Is that they have repudiated
what Republicanism meant, nnd are them
selves standing as the representatives f
the principles of the Democrnry which
thc previously denounced and denied.
While they term themselves Progressives
nnd Progressive Republicans or In
surgents, they nevertheless hold out as
their ono hopo that they represent all
those principles for which Democracy hnn
for the last 20 years been contending nnd
which In the last threo It has been exe
cuting for the relief of Its countrymen "
Speaking of the methodi used by tho
Republicans to gain the German vote In
the West nnd tho anti-German vote In tho
Uast, ho said:
AFTKIl GURMAX VOTE.
"In the West, to attract the German
vote, the cry is that Wilson nnd the
Democracy are against the Ucimans And
where the sentiment is against the Ger
mans tho Republican cry Is that Wilson
and the Democracy have been too fnvor
able to tho Germans and should have
made war against Germany Thus upon
this Issue of hypocrasy, In both the West
and East, these masters of political ma
nipulation would deceive our countrymen
In order to obtain nn Issue by which 'they
could ildo into office on tho fury of In
tel nal conflict They hope to awaken a
storm In their nation, trusting it will blow
them Into official station They would
pit their countrymen against each other
and spill their blood on the highways
nnd bywnvs that, In the fury of the con
flict, they might rush through the lines
of disorder to felze the public offices of
the nation
