CONDUCTOR RINGS UP SIXTEEN FARES
Man on Rear Platform Has Tn
cOrked Bottle of FormaIdehyde,
which Causes All the
Trouble.

A health department attache, bottle Of
formaldehyde, four housewives, a hospital
nurse and a conductor got out Of the rut
Thursday morning i'm a Sherman avenue
street car and sustained the action Of an
amusing little comedy
f. c. Damon of the city health depart
ment was returning on the car with his
fumigating tools and, inadvertently. loos-
ened the stopper OF a bottle Of formalde-
hyde, which he placed inside the car while
he enjoyed the scenery from the rear plat
form.
Four women inside the car soon began
to think there was something wrong with
their lachrynlal glands az the aping
formaldehyde addressed both their olfac-
tory and optical nerves. Four women were
drying their eyes with their handkerchiefs
and the conductor was in such state OF
mind and vision he could not direct his
punch to any ineligible place on the trans
fers requested.
Outside. Damon was smoking his pipe
and enjoying the scenery The bottle of
fOrmaldehydc was in straw hamper and
the odor escaped through that receptacle.
When the car reached the Wise Memorial
hospital on Sherman avenue a nurse from
that institution boarded the car. She
quickly detected the nature OF the odor and
was amused at the effects It had caused on
her fellow passengers Her first impulse
was to think that the conductor was fuml-
eating some tanned money he had received
so for the minute dismissed the matter
from her mind.

The conductor tried to reach for the bel

sNpQn a few minutes the nurse began Il
think the conductor was either fumigatinl
a national bank or that some of the passen

in a pocket. She looked around for som,
