THE MORTOS CLUB.

Early Morning Knid on n Social Or-ga nizntion.

Since the organization of the MortonClub several months ago its members andofficers have not hail all smooth sailing-.Because of the name given the club severalmembers who heid positions in the depart¬ments were threatened with dismissal, asit was thought to be a political club. Theclub's incorporators wanted to change thename so that the positions «r these menwould not be jeopardized, but this expensewas afterward found unnecessary. Someweeks ago the club moved from its chibLouse In order to reduce expenses, andthis morning the police entered the place,broke up a game of poker and arrestedHenry E. Burgess, who is known as presi¬dent and manager of the club. The club isone of the most prominent colored clubs inthe city, and when it was organized itsdirectors hoped to put the club on a foot¬ing with some of the other social organ¬izations, but fortune smiled on the club thewrong way, and instead of improving theclub property smaller and cheaper quartershad to be secured. From time to time thepolice have watched the club because ithad been reported that gambling andliquor drinking were the principal features,and arrangements for a Saturday nightraid were made. But for some reason thegamblers did not materialize, and the raidhad to be postponed. Acting Sergeant Sut¬ton had the matter in charge, and thismorning about 1 o'clock he summonedPrecinct Detective Helan and PolicemenKilmartln, Flathers, Boyce and Williamsand proceeded to 1224 Pennsylvania ave¬nue, where the club is located.The front door was locked and after hav¬

ing the premises surrounded Acting Ser¬geant Sutton rapped at the front entranceand the door was opened. He then enteredand several of the men followed. Burgess,the president and manager, was on dutyin the rooms, while Washington Woodwas presiding at the bar. From there theofficers went to the rear room, where anumber of other men were seated. Threegames of poker were in operation whenthe blue coats appeared at the door, butin an instant all the men in the roomwere anxious to leave.Tom Daniels Ju.^ped. through a plate

glas*s window and two others went out onthe back roof.Burgess was arrested on a charge of

violating the gambling law, and a numberof the colored clubmen were taken to thestation, where they registered as witness¬es. Among those in the party were Ed¬ward Ambler, Paris Livers, John Smith,William Johnson, Robert Brown, W. H.Smith and J. C. Thornton.When the case was called in court this

morning Burgess was charged under thestatute with setting up a gaming table, andthe case went over until Thursday.

An Unannweretl QaeNtion.Alice Green, a young colored woman,

whose* condition is such that she needs hos¬pital treatment, was in Judge Kimball'scourt this morning, charged with being a

vagrant because she is a woman of evillife and fame. She was arrested in the"Division," and Policeman Flathers, whomade the arrest, told the court of thewoman's character."I don't see why he should come in the

house and arrest me," said the miserablewoman."Because you are a woman of evil life,"

said the judge."But I'm only one of many," said the

prisoner; "why didn't he arrest the oth¬ers?"This question the court did not answer,

but sentenced the woman to ninety days onthe farm in default of bonds.

THE CIVIL SERVICEAdmirable Manner in Which theMerit System Has Improved It.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

Wide and Steady Extension of theClassified Service.

FACTS AND FIGURES

The forthcoming annual report of theUnited States civil service commission willshow that the whole number of personsregularly employed in the civil service ofthis country is about 200,000. Of these ap¬proximately one-fourth are in the classifiedservice subject to competitive examinationsuLder the civil service rules. Of those inthe unclassified service, 22,000 are laborers,5,(»00 are appointed by the President sub¬ject to confirmation by the Senate; 1,500 arein the legislative branch of the governmentand 2,000 are in the judicial branch. Thecivil service act excludes these classes fromclassification. The total number of posi¬tions affected by the extension of civil ser¬

vice rules from March 4, 1803, to January o,

1805, was 8.1S4. Of these 5,537 were addedto the classified service by original classi¬fication, and 2,047 by transfer of placesclassified, but excepted from examinationto list of places subject to competitive ex¬amination.ExtcnNion of the Classified Service.Since that period about 500 positions in

the Agricultural Department have beenbrought into the classified service, and a

recent amendment to the rules brings allemployes of that department into theclcfrsifted service, except the Secretary andAssistant Secretary of Agriculture, a pri¬vate secretary to each, the chief of theweather oureau and bis private secretary,the chief clerk of department and his pri¬vate secretary, and laborers and char¬women.A comp irative statement shows that at

the end of President Arthur's administra¬tion tile approximate number of positionsclassified was 13,iV»3; at the end of Presi¬dent Cleveland's first term there were 27.-J:W0, and at the end of President Harrison'sadministration there v.ere 42,028 placesciassified. Executive acts brought 21l,Hi,»-of the latte m mber into the servlae.while.he n.uV> others, principally in post offices,became classified by reason of growth fromsmall offices.

Some iHtrreNtlnK CoHiimrlNOM*.Investigations made at the request of the

commission show that the salaries of gov¬ernment clerks in the principal foreigncountries are lower than those paid by thisgovernment, but the pay of higher officialsis .generally more than that paid here. Inail of the principal countries an entranceexamination, both mental and physical, isrequired before appointment to the set-vice. The tenure of oilice is permanent, orduring good behavior, and after the em¬

ploye has become incapacitated by reasonof ace, length of service or physical in¬firmity he is retired with a pension, theamount of which varies in proportion tothe length of rervice from one-sixth tofour-'ifihs of actual salary. In some coun¬tries it is optional with the employe to re¬tire after fifteen years of service. In othercountries from thirty to thirty-live yearsof service are required before retirement.Females are i ot employed at all In somegovernments, while in others their em¬

ployment is limited to the work of teach¬ers, telegraph operators and positions inthe postal service. The investigations alsoshown 1 that the Kours of lal or vary. Inthe far northern, as well as in the tropicaland semi-tropical eount.-ies, the hours oflabor are short. In nearly all, includingthe United States, the hours of labor ofpostal employes are longer than those ofother governmental emplojes. The timeallowed for lunch, the amount of annualleave with pay and the amount of sickleave with pay vary in the different coun¬tries. In some the time for lunch or restor annual leave is fixed according to thegrade of the employe, the higher grade ofemployes being* allowed more time thanthose of Inferior rank. Many countries aremore liberal in regard to sick leave thanthe United Stales.An unusually large number of holidays

are allowed, especially in the oriental coun¬tries. They are, as a rule, religious ones,Christmas and New Year day being gen¬erally observed in the European countries.In some national events are also celebrated.

Ilvnulta of InTMligatlOH.The report gives an exhaustive review of

the Investigations oi violations of the civilservice laws. Among the post offices on

whose Investigation the commission isstill engaged, is that at Rutland, Vt. Post¬master Hanrahan charges that the repub¬lican employes of his office are conspiringagainst him, while they, -in turn, chargehim with making political removals. Thecase has been under consideration sincelast November. The commission also lately called the attention of the Post OfficeDepartment to the condition of many In-<! k.r.<i post offices, which it regards as, onthe whole, worse than those of any otherstate, except, possibly, Mississippi. In thecomplaint the commission stated its posi¬tion as follows:"This commission holds that, where a

postmaster makes sweeping removals ofemployes of one party and fills the vacan¬cies by the appointment of persons of theopposite party, ther.3 is a presumption thathe is controlled in the natter by politicalconsiderations, and Is to be so judged unlesshe shows to the contrary, the burden ofproof resting upon him. Undoubtedly thereare cases where such presumption will beovercome by a disclosure of the factsshowing that there was a justifiable causefor every removal, and that selections forappointment were made in strict conformityto the civil service rules. lJut even insome of these cases, although the recordIs technically correct, the law has never¬theless been evaded. Many cases havecome to the notice of the commission whereemployes of one political party were freelydismi-.^ed for offenses which perhaps jus¬tified the action, but which passed un¬noticed when committed by employes of theopposite political party. A public officeris not to be relieved of the charge ofpartisanship when he has applied differentstandards of discipline to persons of op¬posing politics. Moreover, when he findsit necessary to make sweeping removals ofemployes opposed to him in political faithIt Is his duty to make the public under¬stand that he is not actuated by politicalbias by taking such affirmative action aswill prevent the necessity of making ap¬pointments from registers on which allthe nrmes are members of his own politicalparty."

Ofllccrs Assaulted by n Crowd ofToupriiM.

Last night at Robinson Park, corner ofFlorida avenue and 18th street, the Knightsof Jerusalem gave a picnic, and the musicand iights attracted the usual number ofhangers-on, who gathered in the street andon the sidewalk. These outsiders were

boisterous, besides obstructing the side¬walk and when the policemen, OfficersGreer and Johnson, gave orders for themto move on they showed no disposition toobey John T. Moore, a young colored manfrom Meridian Hill, who showed signs ofhaving been drinking, was placed underarrest for disorderly conduct, and he want¬ed to hold court right there on the side¬walk. The officers, however, concluded tohare the case tried in the proper way, andthey so informed him. This did not seemto satisfy the prisoner, who proceeded toresist arrest and assault the officers. Inthis he was ably assisted by the crowd ofruffians, who shouted, "Kill him," but theircompanion was unable to injure the offi¬cers. The crowd followed the officers somedistance, throwing bricks and stones atthem, but they held to their prisoner untilthe station was reached, when he wasplaced behind the bars.Lawyers Langston and Jones appeared

for the prisoner in the Police Court today,and argued the case after the proof hadbeen heard. The former argued that theprisoner was a young man of good char¬acter, and he hoped the court would givehim the benefit of it in the disposition ofthe case.Judge Miller held the young man guilty

on two charges, and imposed a fine of $25or seventy-five days' imprisonment.

Besents a Continuation of the ObstructionCas68.

Judge Ktmlinir. Action in the Matter

DiMcuNscd in Court .To Be

Argued ^om^row.I'T '/<

'¦ »

The ordinary routine t0t/Ju«ige Kimball'scourt was enlivened th^',.morning by Mr.Pugh, representing thai<District In a num¬

ber of the so-called obstruction cases. Theupper court has decided joints of law in¬volved in these cases, sir J Mr. Pugh con¬

cluded that in the last; batch of casestaken up on writs of certiorari he wouldfile informations every*; <|ay. In carrj-lngout this plan a numbed q£ warrants were

issued, and this morning .before the prose¬cuting attorney went court counselfor the defendants saw' Judge Kimball, soit is said, and the court agreed to postponethe casos indefinitely to await the decisionIn the. other oases.Wnen Mr. Pugh went Into court and

learned this he was vfcry rir.tibh surprised,and he so informed the court."I understand," said Mr. Pugh, "that

your honor has postponed these cases with¬out having consulted me, and I must cer¬tainly enter my objection to any such pro¬ceedings." TJudge Kimball admitted that counsel for

the defendants had spoken of the casesand he had continued them."But," said Mr. Pugh, "the cases have

not yet been filed in court, and I don't un¬derstand how the court can act before theyare filed."Mr. Pugh then charged that the court

had net treated him fairly in the matter,and h? also doubted the court's right to sotreat the cases.

Mr. l*nffh*» Remarks.

"And," he said, "if your honor won'thear these cases I will be compelled to

appeal to the (Jther branch of the court.Some people are not able to employ dis¬tinguished counsel, and they have to va¬

cate the public spaces, while those who are

able to employ the distinguished lawyersget indefinite postponements because theycan afford to take the cases up to theother courts."These cases are being taken up only for

the purpose of getting a delay of ninemonths or a year, and it is certainly unjustthat some of the merchants should becompelled to vacate while others who arenext door to them are permitted these de¬lays. It is certainly unfair to those whoare unable to employ counsel, and I amgoing to direct that warrants be issuedeach day and that the police require thepersons charged to deposit $25 collateraleach day."Judge Kimball said he would have the

attornevs for these people, Lawyers Millerand Maddox, appear in court tomorrow,and he will then hear the matter and de¬cide what course he will pursue.

Ilefore Judge Miller.

The defendants in these cases were lum¬ber dealers hi different parts of the cityand several of the Louisiana avenue deal-ers.Judge Kimball was called away from

court to attend a board of trade commit¬tee meeting and several cases from Louis¬iana avenue were presented for trial inJudge Miller's court.Frank Robertson was first called, and he

plead guilty. He stated that he had beenan occupant of the sidewalk for more thantwenty years.Judge Miller said that a number of cases

had been certiorated to the upper court,ard* asked if any of these cases before thecourt were among them. J*"No, sir," answered Mr. /Pugh."Are these eases on Wearing in the up¬

per court?" Judge Miller Wanted to know."No. your honor," Mr? Pugh answered,

"and they won't be for nine months, andthese people know it." «* <<"How long have these, people been oc¬

cupying this sidewalk?"^,"Eighteen or twenty years.""By what authority?" °

"None whatever," Mr. ;PUgh said; "thequestions Involved have tbefln passed uponby Judge Cox." ,j *

Judge Miller said he had a S^eat amountof sympathy for these people, for thesestands .on Louisiana avenue are a greatconvenience to the public.* The judge want¬ed to know what about nthe person fromwhom these people rent, ^Ir. Emerich, andMr. Pugh said that the«rer was a chargeagainst him. £

It transpired that most ot. the cases hadbeen certiorated and therefore there couldbe no trial of them In the Police Court.Some of them, Mr. Pugh said, had stop¬

ped pay'ng Mr. Emrlch rent for the side¬walk, and they had been dropped from thecertiorari proceedings."In these cases," said Mr. Pugh, T 11 ask

a continuance. If Mr. Emerich won't pro¬tect them we will."Several other dealers were called, and

they plead guilty. They thought theyshould not be required to move while thoserenting from Mr. Emerich are still doingbusiness on the sidewalk.Mr. Pugh said he was of the same opin¬

ion. He thought it unfair to make onemove unless all are required to leave.Judge Miller said he was of the same

opinion, and he would not dispose of thecases while charges against others are

pending.Mr. Pugh announced that he will file

charges against all of these people everyday.An exception was made in the case of a

blacksmith named Henry Keller, who hasbeen occupying the parking in front of hisshop, on North Capitol street. He ad¬mitted his guilt and was ordered to vacate,which he promised to do.

CIVIL SERVICE IS ALEXANDRIA.

A City Engineer Selected by Means ofv. Competitive Examination.

The civil service reform wave has struckthe dear old town of Alexandria all o*ferwith results that give cause for a smileand general congratulations all around.There was need, some days ago, of a cityengineer, and the common council deter-mined to secure the best man that couldbe found by the toughest kind of a .civilservice examination. After getting advicefrom several good authorities who are upon competitive examinations the councilsailed in and advertised for all who wantedto stand for the position to enter a com¬petitive examination. A score of appli¬cants presented themselves and were ex¬amined on their attainments In geometry,trigonometry and calculus, to say nothingof the law of real estate, and some col¬lateral questions as to drainage, sewers,sidewalks, road-making, gas and gas¬works, and other kindred topics of neces¬sary importance to a city engineer, even inAlexandria.The interesting thing in connection withthe whole matter is that, while the exam¬ination was thrown open to all comers andthe world was invited in, an Alexandria

young man took the first place with thehighest marks, and has been assured hewill have the place. This fortunate com¬petitor is Emmett C. Dunn, who lives at504 Duke street. Mr. Dunn had already-passed one competitive examination underthe United States civil service commissionin this city as an applicant for a surveyor'sclerkship in the general land office.

DR. GREENE APPRECIATED

There was profound gratification amongthe friends of Columbian University overthe announcement in The Star yesterday ofthe selection of Rev. Dr. B. L. Whitman tobe president of the institution at a meet¬ing of the corporation, held during theafternoon. Dr. Whitman, who is, as iswell known, president of Colby Universityat Waterville, Me., has already achieveddistinction that made him as notable In theBaptist Church as a divine as he is famousin educational ranks as a leader. In as¬

suming the important duties as presidentof the Columbian University he bringsmany valuable qualities to his aid. Notthe least important of these is his youth.President Whitman is astonishingly youngwhen his career and its achievements aretaken into consideration. He was born in1S(3 in Nova Scotia and is not yet thirty-two years old. Graduating from BrowneUniversity in 1887 with much honor; heimmediately entered the Newton Theologi¬cal Seminary, whence he was graduatedtwo years later and ordained a minister.He was made pastor of the Free StreetBaptist Church, Portland, Me., in 1S90, andquickly became noted throughout NewEngland for his pulpit power and logicalreasoning. With a fine presence, a pleas¬ant voice, an attractive manner and abroad and comprehensive horizon to hisviews, he made admirers among all classesand was in a short time nearly as wellknown on the lecture platform in the eastas he was in the pulpit.It was not surprising to these who knew

him when the brilliant young clergymanwas called in 1SD2 to the presidency ofColby University, and the prophecies ofhis friends regarding his new duties wereabundantly verified. He displayed admin¬istrative ability to a remarkable degree,and under his direction Colby has madelcrg steps forward in progress.

Tlie Plans of R«t»rg:«inizatlon.After the selection of President Whit¬

man had been decided or: the corporationtock up th<$ question of reorganizing theseveral departments of the university, andmany char ges which had been recommend¬ed were adopted. Columbian Academy willhenceforth be the name of the preparatoryschool. wIn order to meet the extra requirementsof the reorganization it was decided tosecure $75,000 by subscription to be ex¬pended at the rate of $1.1,000 a year.A soliciting committee, was at once ap¬

pointed, the members being Rev. Dr. Sam'lH. Gregjne. Postmaster General Wilson,Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, Mr, S. W. Wood¬ward, Mr. Eugene Levering, *Mr. CharlesW. Needham, Mr. William F, Mattingly,Mr. Myron 31. Parker, Mr. J. J. Darling¬ton, Mr. Theodore W. Noyes,. Mr. RobertH. Martin, Air. Jesse B. Wilson, Rev. Dr.H. L. Morehouse, Rev. Dr. F. M. Ellis andProf. Lee Davis Lodge.

Xeurly Subscribed.

Coincidently with the creation of the com¬mittee subscriptions to the fund were com¬menced by those present at the meeting,and in a few minutes the following sumswere pledged by the gentlemen mentioned:Gardiner G. Hubbard $5,000Eugene Levering 5,000S. W. Woodward.. 5,<J00Franklin Wilson 2,500Charles W. Needham 2,500William F. Mattingly 1,000Henry Taylor . 1,000J. J. Darlington 1,000R. H. Martin 500E. M.

Noyes....^.^. 500In addHlonvto the $2T,5#0 thus subscribed

Drs. Ellis and Morehouse promised to raise$5,000 each In "the 'citifes'oT'Brooklyn andNew York, respectively. Other substantialsums, it is promised, will also be receivedfrom members of the corporation whowere not present at the meeting. It wasalso decided by the meeting that new build¬ings should be erected and additionalgrounds purchased as the occasion mayrequire.

A Tribute Well Deserved.An interesting and gratifying feature of

the gathering was the cordial appreciationshown by the corporation for the servicesrendered to the university by Dr. Greene.Resolutions expressive of this sentimentwere unanimously adopted. They recitedthat Dr. Greene had rendered distinguishedservice to the university for the year justpast as its acting president, for which nofinancial consideration had been profferedor requested. The board of trustees feel¬ing profoundly the sense of their obliga¬tions and wishing to express it in somesubstantial form tendered Dr. Greene theirsincere thanks for his excellent and valu¬able services, services which will be everremembered and deeply appreciated by theofficers, faculties and students ol the uni¬versity, and Instructed the treasurer tohand to Dr. Greene $1,000 from the funds ofthe university, together with a copy of theresolutions.In conclusion, the resolutions stated that

while the trustees did not wish to give anydirection a3 to the use of the fund, theyhoped that it would enable Dr. Greene totake a much-needed rest and enjoy for atime the pleasures of travel.Dr. Greene was much affected by the un¬

expected character of the expression of hiscolleagues' esteem.The utmost enthusiasm characterized all

the proceedings, and among the membersof the corporation it was the unanimousopinion that in the selection of Dr. Whit¬man the man, the place and the opportu¬nity had met. It was agreed that Colum¬bian's prospects were never 'so fair, andthat it only needed an earnest and system¬atic effort to realize all the possibilities ofthe situation. There is to be an immediatemeeting of the officers of the university andthe Alumni Association, when steps will betaken to arouse the alumni to concertedaction. At a meeting of the corporation, tobe held July 1, it is expected that the so¬liciting committee will announce that therest of the $75,000 needed will have beensecured.

by mail to any address in the UnitedStates or Canada for such period as

may be desired at the rate of fiftycents per month.(L7But all such orders must be ac¬

companied by the money, or thepaper cannot be sent, as no ac¬counts are kept with mall subscrip¬tions.

The Will Sustained.The Jury in the contest over the estate

of the late Elizabeth A. Shreve returned averdict yesterday afternoon sustaining thewill, which was made February 7, 1805.The deceased provided that her youngestdaughter should have the real estate forlife, and at her death It should be dividedamong the heirs. It was contended by theother children that the deceased was not ofa sound and disposing mind at the time ofexecuting the will, and that it was pro¬cured by undue influence and fraud prac¬ticed upon the testatrix.
