THE X.RAY MACHINE LIED
The Doctors Cut Frank Buttner
Open and He Died-Had Not
Swallowed His Teeth.

Cleveland. Ohio. Oct. 9.-Frank Buett-
ner. well-known contractor Of this city,
died early to-day as the result of an
operation performed to remove a set of
false teeth which it was supposed he had
swallowed while asleep Monday night. An
x-ray machine was used on Buettner,
which the surgeons declared showed the
teeth to be in the esophagus. Just as the
latter had been opened its entire length, a
relative of Buettner's rushed into the OPP
erating-room with the missing set of
teeth. which had been found in Buett-
ners bed. 1t was then learned that Buett-
ner was suffering from a severe case of
acaute laryngitis. The pain in his throat
led him to believe he had swallowed the
teeth.

rescued the lady from her perllous
situation. The depth of the water
where Mrs. Cline fell In was
seven feet, and near the north

not succeed In getting to shore

TO COMPLAIN OF ROBERTS.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM ASSOCIATION
WILL MAKE CHARGES AGAINST THE
BROOKLYN POSTMASTER.

The National Civil Service Reform Association
will soon lodge with the postal authorities at
Washington complaint against George II. Rob-
ers jr the postmaster of Brooklyn and per
haps make appeal 70 President Roosevelt for
the removal OF Mr.. Roberts from office. The
complaint involves charges that Mr.. Roberts has
removed subordinates and transferred
others for political reasons and that by cCntinu-
ing 10 hold the position Of chairman Of his po-
litical organization he makes himself Ineligible
for public office.
Mr. Roberts has been for years chairman or
the Republican City Committee, and officers of
the Civil Service Reform Association declare
that by continuing in that place he makes
himself liable to the charge of offensive part-
sanship defined in the order which President
Cleveland issued sixteen years ago, and which is
stil in force AS chairman of the Republican
City Committee Mr Roberts has had to do with
affairs relating to the municipal campaign, not
with State national campaigns.
The other charge is that Mr.. Roberts has dis
missed eleven laborers and transferred sixteen
clerks in the classified service for political Tea-
sons. Mir. Roberts has said that the changes
We're for the good of the service. To sustain
the charge that he acted from political motives
the Civil Service Reform Association probably
would require affidavits by some of the men
removed or transferred. one of the labOrerS
who removed has said that he told
that he was removed for political reasons, and
to get some proof of that he asked for recon-
mendation The superintendent wrote one, de-
claring that the man had been found to he
strictly honest. intelligent and attentive TO
duties but that. ''eXigenCieS of the service re-
