JIANY TICKETS SOLD
FOR NAVY RELIEF DAY
Record Crowd Is Expected at
League Island Celebra
tion Saturday
A record-crowd is expected to attend
Nary Relief Dny nt the navy yard Saturday.
The majority of the tickets were sold
by yeowomen, who worked in and around
the Citj Hall courtyard. The girls were
assisted by enlisted men of the navy
and marine corps.
The new arrangements for the day in
clude many special features. A river
steamer has been chartered nnd every
one who purchases an ndmiion ticket
will be entitled to a free ride on the
boat from 1'ier 2, in the nay yard, to
lied I?auk, X. J. That will allow the
visitors to sec the ard from the water
as well as from the land.
Preparations for the sham battle,
which will be the most elaborate thing
yet attempted in this city, are nearly
complete. Virtually every marine in
the yard will be in this mock engage
ment, which will faithfully follow
throughout the battle of Ucllcau 'Wood,
in which the marine corps made itself
immortal.
On the evening preceding the opening
of the jard to the public the C-8, a
giant dirigible, will, it is expected, ar
rive off Cape May. , This (.hip, a sister
to the C-C. which recently flew from
Kockaway Beach to Newfoundland, will
make flights over the yard and the city
on Saturday. The C-S is a nonrigid
dirigible balloon, 200 feet long, capable
of making a speed of seventy miles an
hour over a radius of 2000 miles. While
the regular complement is two officers
and four men. the craft can and prob
ably will carry a crew of eight while
in this city.
, Experiments were completed yester
day so that it is virtually certain that

A reward of $10,000 for recovery of
the jewels of Mrs. Hegina Mlllliiscr,
said to have been stolen from a safety
deposit vault in ,the 'Biltmore Hotel,
Xew York, has stirred private and city
detectives here to greater activity in the
case.
The jewels nre valued nt nearlv
s:0,000. Mrs. Mlllhtscr is n former
I'lilladelphian nnd lhed nt Twcntj -first
nnd Spring Gnrden streets. The reward
is offeicd by the Biltmore Hotel.
The jewelry disappeared from the
safety deposit vault between May L'O
nnd June 13. It was In a small pack
age when placed in the box. Inference
has been made by Xew Tork detec
tives that the jewels may hae dis
appeared before being placed in the
safety Mitilt.
Mis. Millhiser was asked if she
thought it possible that in the acita- I
tion following her husband's death she I
might have mislaid the jewels instead
of placing them in the safety ault.
"I hac one big fact which will up
set that theory," was Mrs. Millhiser's
reply, but she declined to say what
her big fact was. Another theory held
by the police is that some one obtained
a duplicate key to the deposit box in
which the jewelry is said to have been
placed. ,
Loss of the lew els, according to om-
cials of the Biltmore, is, completely cov
ered by insurance.

"Please, doctor." she faltered, "Dol

nnvthlne for me?" '
Doctor kisler gravely took what hart
been Dolly Vnrdcn to the operating
table in his best professional manner,
nnd prepared for a radical operation.
There was sawdust missing and nil cir
culation had been stopped between the
placid waxen head and the cherished
double-jointed frame of Miss Varden.
"Quick, nurse, my trusty glue-pot,"
said the doctor. And then, with the aid
of a few stitches and some adhesixe,
he restored the normal condition of the
two-jenr old.
The three little maids from school
looked upon Dortor Kislcr's work nnd
pronouuird it good. They tlinuked him,
and went laughing away, sure that the

The merit s.vstem has been mntrri
nlly advanced through the pnssage ot
the charter revision section on civil
service, according to the latest anal sis
of the new legislation by the But run of
Municipal Research.
The failure of the attempted exten
sion to count departments is comment
ed upon and emphasis is laid noon what
can be expected undcr-'tlic sec tion inndc ,
a part of the bill finnllj signed bv Gov
ernor Sproul. On the subject of civil
service the bulletin says:
"Of the two articles of this bill that
underwent the most drastic changes, the
article on civil service is one. Never
theless, it Is grntif.vlng to report that
the net result of the legislature's nction
is an advance aud not n retreat for the
merit s.vstem in Philadelphia. Briefly
stated, this result is as follows:
Extension of Law
"The charter bill as first introduced
provided for an extension of the civil
service law to county departments nnd
to the departments in the twilight zone
between county status and mayoral
jurisdiction, such ns the Fnirmount

guards. The receiver of taxes, who eu
jojed special exemption from civil seiv
lce, was also to be iududed under the
law.
"This progressive proposal failed al
together. The new charter expresslv lim
its the application of merit principles
to the departments and bureaus that
already were under civil seivicc.
"The original charter bill proposed a
single service commissioner instead of a
commission of three, nnd the selection
of this commissioner bj n two-thuds
vote of all the members elected to the
citj council instead of b appointment
bj the ma or.
The new charter law restores the com
mission of three, but retains the new
method of having the commissioneis
chosen bv .the city council, although
bv n mnjorit rather than b a two
third vote.
"The provision of the origiml new

CllillHI Ullt in i . mi. v. ....... . . - ....
the number of eligible perous thnt must
be submitted to an appointing officer
ror a single ataiicy, has been retained
In the charter Ian Thus another door
to favoritism lias been largel closed.
"The original new charter bill pro
posed an extension of the trial board
idea, then in effect in the police and
tire foices, to the entire citj nurt couut
service.
Trial Board Plan
"I nder the new charter there is no
such extension of the tilnl board idea.
Policemen and firemen will continue to
be the onlj municipal emplojcs who arc
accorded any substantial protection
against unfair dismissal. The onlv
change from past practice Is that the
trial board for policemen and firemen
will be under the jiirlshctiun of the civil
service commission instead of under that
of the director of public safct nud the
Ma.v or.
"The charter bill ns cirigitinlly intro
duced made political nctlvlt.v ou the part
of nn.v cit.v or couutv emplo.vc punisha
ble not onlv bv dismissal, but also hv
I fine nnd imprisonment; and the enforce
ment of this provision was strengthened
,b giving nnv tnxpa.ver the right to go
into court nnd bv writ of mandamus to
compel dismissal
"I nder the new charter only police
men and liiemcn engaging in political
nctivitv nic punishable b fine nud lm
prisonment and may be dismissed bv
fnTtinrnra Atttnn. The koIa minlslimCOt
of other city employes is dismissal frotn
the service which Is not made enforce
able by taxpajcr s action.
"The orlglnnl charter bill provided
for n standardization of salaries aud
grades in the city and county service.
"This provision Is retained In the
new charter, but Its application is lim
ited to the city service alone."
