DURNEY ARRESTS
COOK AT ASYLUM.
Max ID. Schultz Held in Connec-
ton With the City Grating
Investigation.

Max d. Schultz. formerly chief cook al
the Insane Asylum, who resigned several
days ago. was arrested last night by
Special Officer Durney and is held in con-
Eection with the city grating Investiga-
ton.
Durney, in company with Attorney Gel
terman. spent all day in locating Schultz
who up to the time he resigned lived at
No. 2i0o Damon avenue, which is mar the
Insane Asylum. From there he was lost
track Of up to late last night. when Dur
ney found him at No. 235O Benton street,
where. /: is said. he intended 10 open a
grocery and saloon.
Health Commissioner Simon said last
night that the reason that Schult. re-
signed was because he stopped the grease
graft on the cooks at the ASYLUM so,ce
time ago.
This resulted in four of them handing in
their designations.
The grease graft" is made by the cooks
barreling up and selling the grease from
the kitchen and appropriating the money
for their own use. The money from this
is about 50 day. Doctor Simon said
The cooks looked upon this as one of
the necessary adjuncts to their profession,
Doctor Simon said and strongly objected
when made to stop the practice by the
Health Commissioner.
Schultz was chief cook at the City Hos
pital prior to his transfer to the Insane
Asylum. This move was decided upon
when Doctor Simon first assumed the du-
ties of his office.
II could see that things were moving
pretty smoothly" Doctor Simon said,
land 1 figured that the transfer would
make break in the system somewhere
In fact, things were going so smoothly
that the practice was soon inaugurated at
the asylum
Special Officer Durney said that he
could not tell until to-day what charge
would be placed against Schultz
