ocratic party, as such, Is not worthy of the confidence of the electorate or the District. I am of the opinion that tho ordinance above referred to Is violative of statute, and that the Board is without power to pass said ordinance. Tho ordinance provides that: "The Committee on Employment hnii nmiolnt all employes of The Sanitary District of Chicago and fix tho compensation to bo pnld to all employes of said Sanitary District, and shall certify In writing to the head of the proper department tho names of all such employes, stating the positions to be filled nnd the compensation to be paid to such employes. Thereupon It shall be tho duty of such head of department nnd the Clerk of the District to include tho name of such employe upon the payroll of the District." Section 4 of the statute provides that the Trustees elected In pursu- nr tho Htntuto shall fix the com pensation of all officers and employes of the said The Sanitary District of Chicago. It nowhere authorizes a Committee of the Board of Trustees to carry out or perform that function.

Again, rule 13 of the Rules and Regulations of the Sanitary District of Chicago provides that the President shall be the chief executive oiucer 01 Tho Sanitary District of Chicago. Section 4 of The Sanitary District Act authorizes tho Prestdent to veto all ordinances, orders, rules, resolutions and regulations passed by said Hoard of Trustees. It is manifest, therefore, that in conformity with tho power conferred upon tho President by tho statute, rule 13 of the Rules and ueguiauons wa adopted by this Board. It has been asserted by tho minor-Ity members of this Board that tho cost of administration was excessive. Though repeatedly challenged by your presiding officer to Indicate In what respect the cost of administration was excessive, no particular instance was cited, nor can there bo any given.

It is simply a general statement Intended for publication in newspapers, for tho purpose of discrediting tho administration of this Board as conducted by a majority of tho members, and It Is to bo deeply regrettm tnai iour mum-bf-rs, elected by tho Democratic party have concluded to join their fortunes with two Republican members in order, as It appears, to control tho patronage of the Board. It Is to bo feared that it may be more extensive than that, as largo contracts havo beon let and large contracts aro coniempinieu, and opportunities will thus bo presented, which might, under certain conditions result In a waste of tho tax-payers money. however, to continue to Jjexerclse my power, as President of this Hoard, and so far as I am authorized legally, I shall exercise my power to prevent extravagance and waste. For the reasons stated, I am of opinion that the ordinance seeks to take away tho power from tho President, which was vested In hlrn, and was intended by tho statute to be exercised by him, cannot legally or properly be exercised by any Committee of this Board organized upon nny bi-partisan nrrnngement or any other arrangement which attempts by ordinance to limit my power. 1, therefore, veto said ordinance and return the same herewith.

McDonald Is making a splendid record on the Superior Court bench. Ho is a conscientious and fair-minded Judge, Joseph P. Haas, the popular former County Clerk, Is one of the most valuable and clear sighted of Repub lican lenders. Trustee Edward Kane of the Sanitary DlBtrlct 1b one of the hardest working officials in the state. He Is always allvo to the public's Interest.

William J. O'Drlon, former senator and alderman, is making a wonderful succoss In bis theatrical business. Where does "Dutch" Zwllllng get the force behind his bat that enables tho Whalo center fielder to bag so many home r.uns? Is a question tho North side fans frequently ask. Tho only explanation is tho powerful shoulders of tho outfielder and IiIb easy swing of the body which goes with tho bat. Zwllllng stands five feet six Inches and a trifle over and weighs only ICO pounds.

Ho Is probably the moBt feared hitter In tho Federal league, with tho possible exception of Bennlo Kauff of the Brooklyn Tiptops. Pitchers would rather glvo Zwllllng a free ticket to first baBO than to Bee him lean on the ball In the last few inning with his home team one run behind, writes John O. Seys in Chicago News, Ktviuinir hit much llko Frank Schulte, the home-run getter of tho Cub team. Frank had the habit of slamming the ball against the scoro board In right field on the West sldo Oeorge Kahler of Cleveland hnsbeen sold to Portland. Hank O'Day may bo added to the Fed staff of umpires.

Cy Williams Is. putting up a marvelous game in tho field. Charlie Horzog continues to ignore Umpire Rlgler when ho meets him on the ball field. rnitnhnn still Is connected with tho Chicago White Sox, despite denials of the fact. grounds, dnd occasionally he would lift tho sphere over the top of tne Dig sign.

Frank does not swing hard at a ball, at least he does not appear to have any unusual amount or speea, but ho can hit 'em as far as anyone In tho game. Tho same may be said of Zwllllng. I In moves forward with his swing and has tremendouH driving power in thoso broad shoulders. Zwllllng led tho Federal league last year with 16 homo runs and was awarded a silver bat and ball for leading the Chicago team in batting with an averago of .308. One feature about Zwllllng's hard hitting Is tho fact that he Is just as effective against left-handed pitchers as against right and he bats left handed.

Zwllllng Is also a wonderful fielder, being ablo to cover a lot of ground. Ho is not a fast base runner, as he is a slow starter, but when he gets going ho takes a big stride and covers i ground fust.

CIVIL SERVICE BUNK How Many Examination! in Chicago Are Framed Up for Favorites to Shut Out Ordinary Citizens? EARL MOORE WITH AMATEURS Former Buffalo Pitcher to Join Cleveland Aggregation Refused to Stand Salary Cut Earl Moore, formerly of the Phillies, Cleveland and other clubs, is coins to turn "amateur." The quotation marks are used advisedly, for amateur ball players In Cleveland get the money Just tho same.

homo Is In Clavnland. He alsned with the Buf falo Federals last year, but refused to stand for a cut In salary this season and quit tho Feds. Now that Earl has an opportunity to play with the Tell- tnir.Rtrnllnrsi nf tlm ninvnlnnri Amateur Baseball association, thero is some question as to his eligibility and the commission which has charao of tho games will havo to stretch the "Wild Bill" Donovan, with the crack of the bat, scooped the ball off the ground and shot It to Dooln on a line. "The man who had rounded third saw the ball was going to beat him to the plate so he stopped and startea back to third. Tho other runner also turned round, touched third, and start ed back to second.

"Crawford was already past first and tearing for second. Dooln sized up the play Immediately, made a bluff throw to third and whipped the ball to Hugglns, who touched Crawford, sliding Into second feet first, then turned in time to put the ball on the other man coming back to second head first. "Tim man who wbb almost to tho plate, and who turned back, was stand ing off third watching tno piay wnon William F. Qulnlan, "tho father of Edgewator," has a host of friends all over Chicago, Henry Stuckart made a good record as City Treasurer, a good record as South Town assessor and a good record as alderman. Ho certainly will make a good record as county treas urer.

Bob Reseller, tho former Giant who Is now with the Cardinals, Is laid up with a broken finger. Bonis Becker Is out after the longdistance hitting championship of the National league this season. Both Boston teams ore the favorites in hpir resDoctlvo leagues for the pennants among the betting men. Charlie Dooln was presented with two large bouquets of flowers by admiring friends when the Reds played In Philadelphia. Guy Morton is a great young pitcher but he has a lot to learn.

For instance, that ho must not judge tho hitting of pucners oy Rowdyism is to be downed this year in tho National league. It is possible to eliminate some of the best features of tho garao by being ioo though. Tho great work of Red Fabor those for the Whlto Sox makes Fred Clarke of tho Pirates feel sad. The Pittsburgh club once had an option on Rod's services. Some writer In tho Baseball Magazine says that tho lack of patronage In baseball last year wbb duo to the development of tho pitchers.

That Is ubout tho farthest fetched of any excuse made yet. afauBBkJS ubbbbtJBbb aW IbTBVI bt kTaai i a LBBShMt'" I Jaw- I EmJz: laKHBLfesi I jrifcN'i BBBBBBHlVtaVBBKi r' fj flfflfflfflfBaafflBBMw flBBBBHBBBL rT SaaaBBJBHMH BBHLflHaBLIBBBUk I BBBTaBHK'lHBBBTaBBBVl li liS afawLfafafJV BBBBBBBaW BasV r- bVbtbK (fj lBBEalB ritffft if iBBBUBS I AJmr I Captain Percy U.

Eight Double Play Made.

Tii nntrnlt-Ht. Louis same of April 27 at Detroit was remarkable for eight double plays being made. Lowder-milk, pitching for tho Browns, gave ninn imRfiB on balls and hit a man, and only twenty Tlgere were officially at bat In tho homo team's eight innings. Tho Browns had twenty-four hhhIhIh. Three TicerB struck out.

President Johnson kept tab on loafing players In tho Whlto Sox-Indian series and as a result issued a notice to umpires that unless the players speeded up thoy would hear something drop. Eleven times In ono game, says Johnson, the pitcher was waiting to pitch tho ball and tho batter had not yet left tho coon. Sam Crawford.

Hugglns touched Sam and the other player, thon wheeled and threw to third, nailing his man for tho third out." "You win," was the verdict of tho fanning players.

Ho figures that If ho wero playing on a minor league team and a sale was made, tho smaller league club would receive a cash payment for him. Ho Is now a free lance and ho will demand that an equal sum be paid over to him so ho can give part of it to Spauldlng, who has developed him as a pitcher, nnd to the members of tho team.

Tho People of Chicago demand a thorough Investigation of tho Civil Servlco Commissions department of tho city government. Thoy demand nn investigation inai will go back for years and unearth the treacherous and Illegal treatment accorded to honest citizens for tho benefit of a chosen few. They demand an investigation Into all of the examinations that havo been held In order that the public may bo Informed as to how many, If any, of them wero on tho square. Thev demand an lnvestlaatlon of tho numerous examinations held for tho benefit of particular persons, where questions wero asked which could only be answerea oy mo persons whoso appointment In the civil service was evidently arranged for In advance. The people are paying $100,000 a year for the administration of the civil service law in tne ciiy government.

Thev are Bavins tlOO.OOO a year for a roosting place for men to make out "psycnoiogicar examination papers.

Tho Civil Service law provides for an expenditure of $5,000 by tho city Civil Service Commission for special help. Over $100,000 has been expended annually In violation of the law. Firemen and policemen are entitled to pensions. They risk their lives for tho public.

Political bums, who risk nothing and do nothing for the public, should not be pensioned.
