The garbage inspector is not a garbage

the same work that is done by the sani-

superintendent Kruger Issues Order
to Close Indiana-Aveuue Dives.

Superintendent Of Police Kruger issued an
order yesterday which is aimed at the tough
resorts in the city, especially the negro
clubs" which abound on Indiana avenue.
These dives, since the election, have made
little effort to obey the law. Liquor has
been sold without licenses and gambling has
been conducted SO openly that it was ''up
10" the police department. to do something
"All the bars in the tough clubs will be
closed" said Superintendent Kruger last
night. 1.-THE order was directed against the
toughest and lowest dives in the city. where
gambling and illegal liquor selling is found
and does not apply TO respectable places"
1T is understood, however, from the MEM
bers OF the clubs which were closed on ac-
count of the order that they will all be
open again within a very few days, and that
after a week or so no restrictions will be
placed on them. All the barrooms of the

SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNCIL
MAYOR WILL ASK FOR APPRO-
PRIATION OF $1,000.
Acts Inconsistency in
Appointing Garbage Inspectors
Around the City Hall.

The clash between Mayor Hoffman and
Col. NJ. A. Downing, president OF the Board
OF Public Works, over the appointment OF
George Herpick as street commissioner has
been explained by one who is intimately as
ISOLATED with Thomas Taggart. Taggart,
the all-powerfui. played the role of stage
director in this little drama.
The row came about in this way. Mayor
Hoffman. at the request of T. Taggart. APP
pointed Colonel Downing to the office OF
president OF the Board OF Public Works.
Shortly after his appointment Colonel Down
Ing and the mayor had a conference about
the appointments to be made the following
day, or soon afterward, by the Board of
Works. The mayor. it is understood, told
Colonel Downing who would be the best
man to be appointed street commissioner.
The man favored by the mayor is said to be
Patrick jeremiah Ryan, who was later APP
pointed inspector of scales, weights and
measures.
Colonel Downing told the mayor he wanted
TO give George Herpick the street commits
sioner's job. Just what was said then by
the mayor and Colonel Downing & not
known, but in a day or two the Board of
Works announced the appointment Of
George Herpick.
When Mayor Hoffman was informed of
the appointment of Herpick he is said TO
have told Colonel Downing that Herpick' s
appointment would have To be recalled.
If Herpick goes then I'll go, too Col.
Downing said.
Just about this time Taggart came into
the row" He sized UP the situation and
went to see Mayor Holtzman. 1t is not
known what was said by the mayor and
Mr.. Taggart, but II is known that Her
picks appointment street commissioner
has not been recalled. and that Colonel
Public Works.
After Taggart talked a while with the
mayor he and Colonel Downing had con-
ference.
You and Herpick stay" said Taggart,
laconically, TO Colonel Downing.
The facts about the downright clash be-
tween the mayor and his principal admins
trative officer have just come to light. They
serve TO explain a number OF interesting
city hall incidents.

JOB FOR FORMER BARKEEPER.
One of PoISter's Indiana-Avenue Con-
nectiOns Made a License Inspector.

nectiOns Made n License inspector
Mayor Hoffman has shaken the perplex-
ing and annoying matter OF selecting a To-
cation for the pest house from his shoulders
to the shoulders of the members of his
rev Board of Health-Dr. Ernest c. Reyer
DR.. Courtenay and DR.. Kimberlin.
This matter OF locating the pest house
is about the hardest problem we have TO
deal with just now" The mayor made
this statement late last evening. He had
been in conference with the members of
the Board of Health earlier in the day.
Right after he made this statement he
said he was going TO let the Board of
Health decide where the pest house is TO
be located. There has been too much
mayor in the affairs of the past admins
tration." he SAID. land 1 going to
change the plan little.
Complaints are heard on all sides-from
Democrats as well as RepublicanS-that
the Hoffman administration has appointed
spector. Charles Maurice, known as 'Puss'
Maurice, was appointed license inspector.
Maurice. it is said, has been a barkeeper
in an Indiana-avenue saloon.
POLSTER HIS PATRON.
1t is thought Maurice received his ap-
pointment through the patronage of Charles
Polster, the former Indiana-avenue saloon
keeper. Mayor Hoffman did not want to
appoint a barkeeper 10 the position of IL
cense inspector, IL is said. but finally yielded
TO the demands of his Indiana avenue sup
porters. Poster was Chairman Keach's
manager in the Sixth ward, OF which Indi-
ana avenue is part. Reach. 1t is said.
told Polster that if John W. Hoffman
was elected mayor that he CPolster) would
be given n chance 10 help some OF his
friends.
When the matter OF giving Maurice the
license inspectorship was preached to Mayor
Hoffman he said he couldn't do anything
for Polster I'm that line. The mayor changed
his mind. however, after 4 conference with
Chairman Reach. Reach, 1t is said. simply
told the mayor in very plain words that
we've got to do something for Polster.'
The appointment OF Maurice tends to ex-
plain why Polster spent much time around
the mayors Office the first week of the new
administration.
1T is common sense and good reasoning
be as efficient an official i'm the office of
license inspector as a man who has no SYM
pathy with saloons and the saloon clement"
said a Democrat yesterday. And it's also
common sense to think that a barkeeper
wouldn't be as hard on men who want to
violate tine law, who are violating il,
as a man who never had any connection
with saloons. Then, too, Polster is one OF
Matrices best friends. Reach told the
mayor il would be bad politics' not 10 dc
something for Polster. but think il would
have been much better politics IL he had
not given this job 10 former barkeeper.

l took washbowl and fastened up

scamper down the mast to the water,
stick out a foot, get it wet, shake II,
run round the stick and try the other
side. and then run back to the top
again.

HOMEMADE THEATER.
with This Boys and Girls Can h~vs
More Fun Than With Any Other
Contrivance.

Lots and lots of our readers delight
In playing theater. Here is an OPP
portunity TO build one at no cost, as
everything needed can be found
around the house.
Take a large wooden soap box and,
after removing the cover, take
crosscut saw and saw through the
bottom of the box about 9k inches
carefully and fit it inside of the box,
at right angles to the sawed front,
to form the floor of the stage. Cut
out the end which is now the top OF
your toy theater, leaving but strip
along the front.
Take a strip of this removed piece
and tack it to the front of the box,
a little bit below the level of the
stage.
The next thing is the curtain. Hunt
around until you find an old shade
roller, some Irvine and piece OF RED
or green cloth. Cut the roller the ex-
act width of the box. Then cut the
cloth so that half an inch of roller
will show on each side, tack one'end
to the top of the box. Wind the
Irvine around the ends of the roller
leading the Irvine from each end up
and over smooth tacks driven into
the top of the theater. These lines
should be operated from one side .ano
serve to pull the curtain up and
down.
Now comes the making of the foot
lights and proscenium. Paste draw
ing paper on stiff cardboard and get
