in an effort to end this practice. The
sterilizer has a bitter taste that will
remind the user that the mouth is not
a good place for a pencil.
The sterilizer, which has been ap
proved in the laboratory of the State
Board of Health, is a little cabinet lined
with tin. It has a wire rack on which
the pencils are laid.- A piece of cot
ton steeped in a half ounce of formalin
is laid inside the cabinet and it is
closed for the night.- The fumes from
this disinfect the pencils.

Commissioner Hclman Accuses
Associates on Board With
Being Unfair to Him.
SLUMS ABE MADE TABGET
Ordinance Soon to Come Up AVould
Eliminate Tenements.
FIGHT MADE ON EMPLOYES
Mr. Hart and Mr. Lightner Cbarged
With letting Out Bridge Tenders
and Mose Bloch Also Named
a Trouble Maker.
Accusations that the other two Com
missioners had been unfair to him in
the discharge of county employes, and
that Commissioner Hart had encour
aged all the bridge and ferry men to
take an active part in the meeting- held
at the library several months ago to
protest against the selection of Wad
dell & Harrington as interstate bridge
engineers, were made by Commissioner
Holman at the regular meeting of
the Commissioners yesterday morning.
Charges, countercharges and contradic
tions were in general order for a few
minutes.
According to statements made by Mr.
Holman, a few days before the "Nolta"
protest meeting. Commissioner Wart
accompanied by James Hicks, who sub
sequently was removed as an operator
on the Broadway bridge, visited all the
bridges and ferries and urged the men
to go to the meeting and demonstrate
against Mr. Holman's action. Hicks ad
mitted that he had accompanied Mr.
Hart on the trip. Mr. Holman said, but
denied that he had taken any part to
oppose Mr. Holman.
Money Lender Aecased.
Further charges were made by Mb
Holman that the surest way for a
bridge or ferry man to lose his job
was to show any inclination to be
friendly with him. Mose Bloch, a
money-lender and county warrant bro
ker. -was named by Mr. Holman as hav
ing advised bridge employes that they
ran the chance of losing their job -if
they worked for Mr. Holman.
The controversy between the Com
missioners developed when a commit
tee from the local Trades Council pro
tested to the Commissioners against the
discharge of Robert V. Smith, foreman
of the Broadway bridge, who was re
moved from the service April 1. The
visitors insisted that Smith was a sober,
Industrious employe, and urged his re
instatement either as an operator or a
gaPetender on one of the bridges.
Commissioner Holman answered that
Smith, who was a friend of his, had
been discharged without his consent or
permission, and moved that Smith be
reinstated as an operator.
Exception Taken Is Charge.
To this statement that Mr. Holman
had not acquiesced in the removal of
Smith and the reinstatement of James
Hicks as foreman of the Broadway
bridge. Commissioners Lightner and
Hart took exception. They admitted
that Mr. Holman was not present when
the order was prepared, but agreed
that at the morning session of the
Board, March 31. Mr. Holman had as
sented to the reduction of Mike Mur
nane, superintendent of bridges and
ferries, to superintendent of repairs,
and had said that he would assent to
the reinstatement of Hicks as foreman,
to replace Smith, who Commissioners
Hart and Lightner insisted they had
said was incompetent. Mr. Holman de
nied any knowledge of any such con
versation. In reply to the request of the visit
ing committee Mr. Holman offered a
motion that county employes be reas
signed so that Smith might be replaced
as an operator on the Broadway bridge.
There was no second to the motion
and at the suggestion of Commissioner
Hart, who was supported by Commis
sioner Lightner, further action in the
matter was postponed.
At the morning session of the Com
missioners, held March 31, at which
Superintendent Murnane was reduced
to have charge only of the repair gang
Mr. Holman said he made no objection
to the formal order presented by Com
missioner Lightner. for fear that if he
made any objection Murnane would be
discharged.- as a motion to this effect
had been made at a previous meeting.
I"Ttest Ordered Recorded.
"When I came up in the afternoon
tho clerk of the Board handed me an
order signed by Hart and Lightner dis
charging Smith and J. D. Bushy. Broad
way bridge operators, and replacing
Hicks and H. D. Fear, who had been
removed several months previous. She
said they wanted the order to appear
in the minutes of the morning session.
I told her to rfcord me as against the
discharge order, anS while she was cor
recting her minutes, to record me as
opposed to the reduction of Superin
tendent Murnane." said Mr. Holman. in
explaining his position in the March 31
meeting:.
Commissioner Lightner explained his
action in removing Smith by stating
that he had been informed that Smith
did not care to be foreman of the
bridge, nor particularly to be an oper
ator. ; "I am willing to give Smith a place
as gateman if Mr. Holman will name
the man to be discharged to make room
for him. uniri r.ihtnA
''Wo cn shift the employes we have
lYT . .1 """ a piace as operator on
the bridge without the necessity of dis
charging any one." Holman answered
"I don't believe in discharging these"

"It didn't seem like that while I was

Hundreds of drinking men and wo
