that If they wanted money they would
find it in an earthen jar somewhere

MAIsO CASE LATER
Board Will Consider Fire
mans Discharge.

The board of public works has not
vet decided when it will hold ses-
sion for the hearing of complaints and
answers In the case of Frank Malo. en-
gineer at the Central fire station, who
was suspended for an indefinite time
last Thursday.
The news that Malo had been sus-
pended was received with varying in
terest by republicans and democrats.

understood. is his alleged activity on
the day of election and for some time
previous. Malo, who is a republican,
says that he is in a position TO show
equal activity on the part of some
democrats in the fire department.
