Dill wal ordered to turn over all his
keys to Warden Charles j. Steadman.
DR.. Dill was told that hereafter he Is
to devote all his time to the medical
supervision of the hospital.
"Dr. Dill a created a chaos with
these keys said Supervisor Baldwin,
and it isn't more than right that
they should be handed to someone who
will get up a system, keep track of
them, hand them out to new employees
and see that they are returned when
a person leaves the employ of the coun-
ty. The warden has, under the newly
adopted rules, charge of all the
grounds, buildings, furniture and. natu-
rally, the keys"
1--WE want to give the keys to a man"

DR.. Dill, who looks after them, n
you know you haven't done so in the
past

They give DIR. Dill charge of the lied
ical supervision of the hospital, of The
physicians, nurses and male attendants,
and the warden charge of the grounds.
the buildings, the furniture and all the
employees.
The previous action of the committee
in approving the salary increases rec

and referred to a special committee,
which will equalize all salaries paid at
the institution. 1t is understood that
all the Increases will be granted ana
the action was only taken to simplify
matters. as other increases Will br

OLD MAN REFUSES
To TELL LAWYER
HOW YOUNG HE IS
Juror Battles Attorney With
Convenient Lapse of Memory
as to Birth and Early Life.

Blackstone said as long as a man
has a good intellect he is never too old
to serve as a jIryman.'
That bit of philosophy handed out
by Patrick Gallagher, of 1851 Warren
street, a member of the present petit
Jury in Judge Ter Eyck's court this
morning provoked an argument be-
tween Gallagher and Attorney Louis
Hood that ~convulsed the courtroom
with laughter for fifteen minutes, until
Gallagher was finally excused from
serving on the jury by Judge Ten Eyck.
The case was one of assault, pre-
ferred by Eva Cohen, a 1~6-year-old girl
living at 125 Waverly avenue. against
Samuel Gartenberg, jr.. a drug clerk
at 122 Waverly avenue.
Both the State, represented by AS
sistant Prosecutor Fred r.. Lehlbach,
and the defense, represented by Louis
Hood, had exhausted their limit of
challenges. Hood was still dissatisfied
with the jury.
How old are you, Mr.. Gallagher"
he asked, after "sizing up" the twelve
men.
Gallagher. who is a well-preserved
old Irishman. with a bunch of bushy,
dull-red whiskers on his chin. replied:
'I'm something over go years old"
We'll, just how old are you?"
Something over 60"
You must be more definite, Mr.. Gal
lagher." remarked Hood,
Gallagher then let loose the Black
stone remark and despite every effort
of Hoods to find out his age baked
him.
when did you come to this coun-
try?" asked Hood.
I'm 1854 was the reply.
How old were you them"
Sure. I don't know"
What year were you born?"
II don't know. We didn't pay much
attention to those things in Ireland
when I arrived"
did you go to work when you ar
rived here in 1882"
Sure I did"
who for?'
"A locksmith."
What was his name and how much
did you earn" !.
ooh, don't be asking me such foolish
questions. It's none of your business.
anyhow"
Baked at every step Hood appealed
to Judge Ten Eyck. who promptly ex-
cused Gallagher.
"Thank you said Gallagher to the
judge. and as he left the jury box he
remarked: Them fellows can't scare
me-"
Later Mr.. Gallagher refused to tel
even his fellow jurymen his age, but
proudly displayed a Grand Army but
ton in the lapel of his coat and said:
Sure, / voted for Lincoln twice and
/ fought for him three years and nine
months"

MAYOR GAYNoR's TAX PROGRAM
COLORADO

Among other efforts which May
or Gaynor of New York is making
to improve this city's government
is his serious proposal to abolish
the personal property tax. He and
Lawson Purdy, president of the
tax board, have discovered that the
personal property tax is almost OBJ
solete, that it is n fruitful source
OF perjury on the part of our more
opulent citizens, and that it has
actually driven many rich people
to take up their residence else
where. Mr.. Purdy shows that
only four and half million of
dollars year are collected from
personal tax, and that a tax rate
increase of six or seven cents on
real estate would cover this com.
paratively tritling sum.-Success.
