INSPECTORS SCORED
FOR CARELESSNESS
Attorney ,CriticiSes Building
Men For Alleged
Neglect.

In petitoning that the permit Of l..
i. Collins to build a stable on lot 6,
square 14l, be renewed, Attorney John
w. Crawford, before the Commissioners,
took opportunity to criticise the Build
ing Inspectors department for their al
legged carelessness.
Collins was refused a permit recent
ly, owing 20 the length of time the
building was in process of construction.
Two years have elapsed since the first
permit was issued. and since then but
twelve inches of brick have been placed
on the foundation. When Collins re-
Gently applied for a new permit II was
refused, the Building Inspector discov-
ering that the wall was a party wall.
For not discovering this condition when
the plans were presented TO the Office
for inspection. Building Inspector Ash
ford and HIS assistants were scored by
Attorney Crawford.
Mr.. Collins can not be blamed for
the wall of his building extending into
the alley said Mr. Crawford. The
Building Inspectors should have discov-
cred this mistake at the time. We are
now asking for a new permit. and as
there Is no objection save the slowness
of Mr.. Collins in erecting the building the
permit should be granted"
The Commissioners have taken the
matter OF granting the permit under
advisement.

TEHERAN. Persia, Aug. 6-The
greatest alarm prevails In Urumiah.
which is threatened by 5000 Turkish
soldiers who have invaded Perisa and
the Persian soldiers who mutined and
Joined the invaders.
An attack is mOmentarily expected and
the 5000 inhabitants are in a state of
panic. An appeal will be made TO the
powers to prevent further slaughter in
Persia.
The destruction Of the village of Ma
vaneh, accompanied by the slaughter Of
seventy-eight persons, most Of them
Christian women and children, is taken
as an indication that the soldiers will
not halt where they are.
Urumiah cannot resist such a strong
force, and IL the anticipated attack is
realized, there will be fTightful results

ASKS PROSECUTION
OF WASTE BUYER
H. Lissberger Faces Six
Charges of Defrauding
Government.

Investigation Of railroad records re-
garding shipments Of waste metals
bought at the Washington navy yard
by the firm of 3. Lissberger 81 Co., Of
New York. has shown the Government
TO have lost at least $4,000, and there
Is no means Of ascertainlng how much
more on shipments the records OF which
cannot be obtained, according to re-
ports that have been made 10 the Navy
Department. Accordingly, the case
against II. Lissberger, a member of the
firm, who acted for the firmaat the navy
yard with all the evidence has been
turned over TO the Department Of Jus
tlce Dy Acting Secretary OF the Navy
Newberry with recommendations that
the alleged offender be prosecuted to the
fullest extent Of the law.
II Is likely that the case viii be pros
ecuted on at least six cOunts-one each
on charges OF defrauding the Govern
ment on five cars OF material purchased
within the last two years. and charge
nent on the recent Weighing Of three
cars, IN which Lissberger wac detected
shifting the weight as originally pub
llshed In The Times last Thursday.
When detected the difference was at
once made up, but the fiVe previous
cases stand on the records as a big
loss to the Government.

roads figures, for a period Of three
years. or within the statutory llmita-
tiOns. These Investigations. which will
be conducted at all yards where the
Lissberger people have contracts. are
expected 10 disclose losses that may run
into the hundreds of thousands OF dol

The startling disclosures at the Wash

opener for officials Of the Navy Depart
ment and dealers in copper, brass, and
bronze materials who have not beer
