CIVIL SERVICE IS
. MADE STRONGER .

(Continued From Page One.)
is calculated to . promote justice and
prevent unfairness. -
Prorides for Pair -Action.
A custom ha grown jp in the present
service which makes -the head .0(1
civil service department little more than
A figurehead.' Section 185 of the old
charter provide Jthat charges may bt
iuea against. cirii service; employe by
any person and a hearing .must be had
on these charge before a committee of
the executive .board. The chief of po
lice, assuming no more authority than
"any person," now follows thl plan;
It lessens hi authority. At the same
time it provide for a partial and pos
sibly political preliminary hearing of
the accused employe which may act
against him when he Is tried .before the
civil service board. . . - r-.-Under,
the commission charter the
head of the department has the right to
remove for cause, written charges being
filed (section 517), and the removed
employe has right to appeal directly to
the, civil service board. within 10 day.
The board in its turn is privileged, to
use discretion in measuring the degree
of guilt, if guilt is' established, and
Impose sentence accordingly. Under
the present charter, if charges ajre sus
tained, it has no alternative. The ac
cused must be removed from the serv
ice. Lighter penalty la Impossible.
Civil , service ... under the commission
charter will operate thus: Section 286b
Rives power to appoint or remove. Sec
tion 308 require that appointment shall
be by open competitive examination.
Section 817 requires that no employe
be removed savte for cause and gives
him right of fair trial. Section 20 pro
vides for the transfer of employes from
one department to another. Section 315
tells how-transfer must be made the
employe must pas an examination pre
liminary to work in another department.
Olvea Chance of Promotion.
Section 20 and 315 give chance for
promotion that does not now exist, at
the same, time making it impossible for
an efficient employe to be reduced, in
rank or treated in a way that violate
cvill service rules. Section 316 pro
vides for promotions on a basis of su
perior efficiency as measured by the
efficiency records required in section
20, and by competitive examination.
Section 309 requires the civil service
board to classify civil service employe
and to : grade position and pay on an
efficiency basis. : Section 325 bars polit
ic in the service. Section 327a define
eight hours a a day's work, and gives
preference to citizens of the city and
United States.
Comparison between old and new char
ters shows that few changes have been
made in the civil service code and fuch
as have been made are to protect com
petence and to expose incompetence.
Section 313 -which provides among
other things for re-appointment of em
ployes of six years standing is a sec
tion of the charter of 1903 and its op
eration dates from 1903. It must be
remembered that the people do not vote
on a new charter May 3, but on the old
charter so amended as to' permit of
commission government. Unchanged
section of the old Charter stand with
out change in effect or operation.

The Turks valiantly defended the city,
rushing: out to meet the besiegers. . The
artillery of both sides suddenly stopped
firing, the opposing- troops firing rifle
volleys at close range.. Hundreds were
killed. Finally the conflict became too
close for rifle fire, and for two hours the
opposing armies clubbed, . sabred and
bayonetted. The dead ran into' thousands
before Essad Pasha signified that he
wished to surrender. . :. :
Shortly - after , the-; surrender King
Nicholas triumphantly rode through the
city, later issuing; the following' statement.-.
