DR.. Getz wa. Not 1se.ponsible.

In a letter to the editor of the T.-R.
DR.. Getz wishes it understood that he
did not resign from the Office OF chief
surgeon Of the Iowa Central railway, as
was stated in these columns, but that
the office was a polished by George w.
Sewers, OF Oskaloosa, general solicitor
of the road. The T.-R. reporter in writ
ing the item supposed that, alsho the Of

would first, as matter Of courtesy, be
given an opportunity to resign. Howev-
ser. the T.-R. freely accepts Dr. Getz'
correction. It seems that the general
solicitor has by letter accused DR.. Getz
of causing the statement to be pub
lished that he resigned. ard DR. Getz
says that the general solicitor makes
this his excuse for appointing another
man local surgeon. This charge the
doctor brands as a lie on the part OF the
general solicitors informant and says
that until the general solicitor makes
known the identity Of his informant the
lie rests with him. To all concerned the
T.-R. wishes It understood that DR.. Getz
was not consulted nor was in any way

referred to. 1t was the T.-R's error,

Ever since the scale ordinance was
adopted by the city council there has
been more or less trouble over Its en-s
forcement and there is q possibility
that the city has an elephant on its
hands. Recently a special policeman
In the person OF w. w. Stubs was app.
pointed with instructions 10 see. that
the ordinance was enforced, and the.

CURED Friday afternoon. with the re-
suit that nothing came OF the action
and the city was compelled to back
down.
Mr.. George Gregory, of the Gregory
Brown Coal Company, was the man
charged With violating the ordinance.
From the facts learned it appears that
the company sold to Rev. l.. p Ellyson
ten tons Of coal. Mr.. Gregory says he
asked the purchaser If he desired the
fuel weighed at the city scales and Mr..
Ellyson said he. would accept the COM
panys weights. The fuel company be-
gan delivering the coal and sent with
each load the usual ticket showing the
place of delivery, the amount of the
weight. with the words city scale
weights not desired stamped thereon,
which ticket Mr. Ellyson signed. Ofi-
GER Stubs, however, arrested Mr..
Gregory for an alleged violation VI the
city scales ordinance.
The case was taken before Jus tice
Allen In the absence OF Mayor Pierce
land a warm legal contest was expected.
The defendant stood upon. the verbal
agreement with Mr.. Ellyson and con-
firmed by the signing of the ticker, and
after examining the prosecuting Wit
ness, Mr.. Stubs, The city attorney dis

the city stood ready to make a test case
of the suit and attack the validity OF

In this the dealers and the

\ nance provides that city scale
