Says Neuhausen and Precce Are
Judas Iscariots and Suggests
Hanging
HARTENSTEIN'S SHARP REPLY.
Appointment Of {. NJ. Jackson Once
More Rejected and Mayor Submits
Name Of Maxwell K. Brother.

Preece and Neuhausen In voting for the
mayors appointments on last Wednes-
day evening, has not healed yet and 1t
was opened afresh last night by him
making an uncaled for and unwarrant-
ed attack upon Mayor Morris and the
two councllmen named above. The
trouble arose over the report OF the
finance committee giving the mayor au-
thorlty 10 employ clerk for his Office
at a salary OF SIS per month.
Black bitterly opposed the report and
stated that the hiring Of clerk was
nothing more than graft and was an
unnecessary expense TO the city. He
said that the mayor in his first mes
sage to the council In January opposed
any unnecessary expenses and the
councilman from the Fifth thought
that his action In this respect was not
consistent with the statement In the
letter While on the floor Black stated
that, on last Wednesday night, two OF
the counclmen deserted the platform
and ticket upon which they were elect
ed and voted with the mayor He re-
ferred to them as Judas Iscarots, but
stated that the real Judas was gem
tleman compared 10 these two because
he had sense enough 10 go out and
hang himself after II was all over.
Hartensteln defended the mayor by
stating that the reference TO a graft on
his part was entirely unjust and UNI
necessary and that 1t was ungentle-
manly OF the councilman from the Fifth
TO make any such statement. In conclu-
sion he stated that II was a waste OF
lather to shave an ass. so II was un-
necessary to attempt 10 answer
Blacks statements.
Fernstrom stated that he did not be-
lleye that any Of the councilmen were
elected on ticket simply to fight the
mayor and to be led around with "A
string by two men. He said that what
the council needed was more business
and less whip and less politics The re-
port OF the committee was then adopt
ed by vote OF 10 to ., Black. Holiday
and Martin voting In the negative and
Tuddenham and Wells being absent.
