Bff AND FEDERAL
Woodruff Scores Surveyor of
Customs for Blocking Trial
of Policeman
TO CARRY MATTER UP
The failure of two United States cus
toms guards to testify against a patrol
man before tho- Civil Berviee Commis
sion today led to a severe criticism of
Charles H, Kurtz, surveyor of customs,
.by Clinton Rogers Woodruff, president
of thc commission. '
Patrolman John Philips, of the Front
and Master streets station, was accused
of threatening a guard, using profane
language and of having two quarts of
whisky in his possession. The offenses
were alleged to have occurred May 5
at I'ier No. 10, north wharves.
The Civil 8ervicc Commission on May
18 requested Mr. Kurtz to Instruct thc
guards to appear at Phillips' hearing
today. Mr. Kurtz replied by letter that
the patrolman had apologized and that
the Incident was closed so far as thc
customs service was concerned.
Tho commission today found Phillips
guilty of an additional charge of being
absent without leave. He was fined
seventeen days' pay.
In announcing that ho would lay the
case before the Secretary ot the Treas
ury because of the failure of the guards
to appear, Mr. Woodruff made public
this letter, dated yesterday, ami sent to
Mr. Kurtz:
"We are in receipt of your letter of
May 27 in which you refuse to instruct
Andrew A. Brophy, captain of customs
guards, and Guard Meiers, in your de
partment, to appear before the Civil
Henrico Commission.
"You speak of Patrolman Phillips
having apologized to Guard Meiers for
die languoge used, but this does not
dNposc of thc charges against him of
conduct unbecoming an office. The
commission is not sitting to hear pri
vate wrongs of individuals in the Fed
eral or other service, but to try charges
against members of the Police nnd Fire
Bureaus for unbecoming conduct and
for conduct subversive of good discipline
and of sound morale.
"Your failure to co-operate with us in
enforcing sound discipline and good
morale, not to mention the discourtesy
Involved in your action, is most regret
table. "In the judgment of thc commission.
the gravity of your refusal to co-operate
increased by reason of the duty and
obligation resting upon the Federal of
ficers to secure the enforcement of the
laws regarding the sale of liquor."
RAPS ONE-PIECE SUITS

WRECK LAID TO ENGINEER
Committee on Turlington Crash Saya
Cook Disregarded Signals
Responsibility for the rear-end
collision on thc Pennsylvania Railroad
at Burlington, N. J., Saturday evening,
which resulted in the deaths of two
persons, was placed upon Charles R.
Cook,, engineer of the Now York
Atlantic City excursion train, by tho
commltteo appointed by C. S. Frick,
general manager of the railroad, to in
vestigate the accident. The commit
tee submitted its report yesterday.
The wreck was caused by the ex
cursion train running into the rear of
a Camdon-Trcnton local as tho latter
Was leaving Burlington Station. The
Investigation Committee reported that
Cook npproached Burlington at a speed
of thirty-five to forty miles an hour
when the speed restrictions at that
point called for not over fifteen miles
an hour; thnt he ran past n "slow
speed" signal without reducing speed,
nnd that no over-ran n "stop" signal
to the rear of thc local train.
The report added that Cook should
have been familiar with the routo, as he
had recently made five rounrl trlrm
between New York nnd Atlantic City.

Central Pennsylvania und its effect upon
thc production in our fields is, in our

In reply to that letter Mr. Brophy
snid :
"If your purpose Is to ask for a re
duction in wage scales, as is intimated
in the various press notices emanating
from Altoona, a conference would be
useless, because the position of. District
No. 2 is tho position taken by our na
tional organization, that our present
contracts are binding, that they wero
established by thc United States Bitu

who competed there, with the possible
exception of "Chick" Evans, who had

STEAMSHIP IN DISTRESS
Asquam Wireless Olvee Position Off
t Winter Quarter Light,
Somewhere in tho Atlantic Ocean, a
thousand rnlles stralaht off Winter
Quarter Light, the Shipping Board
steamship Asquam Is wallowing in the
seas, waiting for a tow to brine her Into
port.
The wireiese, ranging the ocean for
aia, Drougnc word ot the ship's distress
to tho big navy station at Cape May,
whence it was relayed to the Philadel
phia Navy Yard.
Though thejnesaaire said the Aiuinnm
needed help, it did not indicate thc
cause of the trouble, nor state whether
any one naa hoen killed or injured.
ino message was picked up at 2:83
o'clock this moraine. It was: "R. S.
Asquam In lat. 37.48 N., Ion. 03.30 W
no steam at nu. .Need assistance. Must
be towed."
It is surmised there had been an ac
cident .in the freighter's boiler room.
It is unlikely that help will bo sent
from this port, as the message would
have been picked up by ships at .sea
near the Asquam. Thc Asquam was in
Baltimore as recently as May 10, but
the Maritime Exchange has no infor
mation as to its cargo or destination.

Mr. Becber's decision to remain for
the present leaves thc Board of Judges
with two vacancies to fill at tho meet
