When the case of J. H. Mulrein, charged with having violated a city ordinance by installing wrought iron waste pipe in a plumbing contract in the Y. NJ. C. A building was called before Police Judge Thomas yester- day afternoon. il was found that the complaint made reference to soil pipe and not to waste pipe. As it was the intention of. the complainant, George Haseman. to charge that wrought iron waste pipe had been installed the charge against MT. Mulrein was dismissed MT Hageman immediate ly syyore to a new complaint m when care was taken to see that the words waste pipe" appeared The new charge win be heard before Judge Thomas this afternoon
 owing to the error in the com plaint. no opportunity was gwen to bring out the merits of the case Tn court MT. Hagemcn stated that MT Nulrein had complied with the law I'm the matter of the soil pipes and that. if he had used the word soil pipe in making the complaint he had been in error.
 Speaking to reporter for The Republican, MT Mulrein went into inc history of the affair as viewed from his standpoint. He sad:
 Some weeks ago President B. A. Erou-Ier of the Y. NJ c. A. and l.. G. <nine supervising architect, went with me before the city council and asled permission to employ what is known as the Durham system in in
 ,.f ch tbe second floor of the Y- M. C. A. building. The Durham system IS the same that is used in all large build inss and was employed in the new Noble building There is an ordl- nance now in the course of prepara- 1ion soon to be- introduced before the council permitting the use or the Durham system in all buildings over B feet high which may be erected in Phoenix.
 .It was explained to council that the reason we desired to use the Durham system, which calls TOT vroieht iron pipe, was that this was an afterthought upon the part ol those interested in the construction of the Y. NJ C. A. building and that to avoid tearing out walls ana uolIs other irreparable damage to the building we had decided to leave the pIumbing exposed. In order that the ,,IuYnbing night not be a detrlment to the appearance of the interior or the huilding. we decided that wrought iron nine would make a far better apuearance than cast iron pipe ana would be just as sanitary as though the cast iron pipe were used
 ..Ive were told in council that II the huilding had already been turned over to the Y. M C. A. so that IL could be classed as an old building instead of a new one, in the course af construction we would not be amenable to the ordinance calling Tor last iron pipe. We asked if we ,oiebt not be granted permission to ahead with this work, believing that it would be satisfactory 10 all concerned when completed
 MT Cisney told us that We needed no permission from the couhcH iol the work. and that we should call m the plumbing inspector Just "ii"' MT Cisney may have meant an not now certain, but am sure 'ii'e ,e z Mir Fowler, Mir. Knipe ano hys loft the meeting lilit iiiSHN
 that permission had been granted us to qo ahead as we had planned. Later tbe plumbing inspector issued a per init which I feel is a sufficient war rant for the action we subsequently, took E., ,-ons
 Anyhow. MT. Hageman IS Wrons s in stating that I violated the terms of the specifications. There mas ie.v' 'e, been any question as to the specii . ao+ione as witnessed by the fact or ur Fowler and Mr Knipe appearing with me before the council asking that inc work be allowed to go oh' as was subsequently done
 MT. Mulrein stated that he Woulo fight the case to the end ana 'ha' he expected his attorney hees ;a Ting of Prescott, to arrive today III 4I ., ranresent him at the hearing
