HEALTH TESTS ON
HOTEL EMPLOYEES
MANAGERS Adopt German SyS-
TEN to Prevent Spread
Of Disease

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The German
system Of supervising the health Of
hotel employees for the protection Of
guests is being put into force in the
larger New York hotels.
A large Broadway hostelry employ
ing 45O servants puts the system into
operation this week.
The serving food by infected wait
ers imperils the healths of patrons,
according to sanitarians. The hotel
guest" said one manager, in speaking
of the innovation, "is at the mercy Of
the management of the hotel which
he patronizes in respect to the selec-
tion of employees. A hotel ought TO
protect its guests from diseases just
as any private householder would
protect himself and family.
"Only recently it was brought to
my attention that a man and his wife
and child who had been staying at a
hotel. whose name should have been
a guarantee for the utmost cleanliness,
became infected with a horrible skin
disease. It was learned that a scrub
woman who suffered from the disease
had used a drinking glass in the
gents room. The disease had been
communicated TO a cut on the mans
lip and thence to his wife and child.
The question of requiring similar
inspection of dining car walters pre-
sents more difficult aspects to the
health authorities attempting to solve
, the problem. They point out that
Congress should authorize a National
Health Bureau, as recommended in
the Presidents message, one of the
powers of which might be to super
wise the sanitation of interstate car
riers. OF the 450 employees in the first
hotel to initiate the German system
only twelve refused to undergo the
physical examination. They were
discharged.

Conductors Mont Accept
Tickets from Women
COUNCIL 10 INVESTIGATE
City Attorney Massie VIII Give opin-
ion on Meaning OF Language In
Franchises Of Street Railway Com
panies on This Point.

Complaint was made TO Mayor
Marquis Jones yesterday morning that
The conductors on the street cars
operating in this city had refused to
accept the workmen's tickets from
female domestics and washer-women
riding on the cars within the hours
prescribed on such tickets. In every
Instance, il is said. the conductors
made the women either pay full rare
or get of the cars.
After investigating the complaints
Mayor Jones requested CITY Attorney
J. A. Massie 10 furnish him with an
oDinion on that section OF the iran
chise OF the street railway com
ranies which require them 40 sell
"workmen's tickets at half fare 1.-TWO
for five cents) for use between the
hours OF a. IN. and a. IN, and =.
IN. and p. m.
AS soon as he receives the opinion
of the city attorney, the mayor VIII
refer the entire matter TO the councii
committee on highways and sewers,
which already has under considera-
ton the complaint of number oil
workingmen that the street railway
companies are not giving them an
adequate car service between q. III.
and I a. m.
Should the city attorney rule that
the term "workingmen" in the street
railway francise applies to all human
beings who work and ride On the
cars within the hours mentioned, the
street railway companies will be haied
TO court for violation OF their fran
chise.
Wher seen regarding the matter
Yesterday afternoon, General Man
ager w. w. S. Butler, of the street
railway system, said that the railway
companies never contemplated work
ing women using the tickets, but that
many of them had purchased them
and they had been accepted from the
women by green conductors. lie
stated further that between a. IN.
and I a. m. the companies were
very busy hauling working men TO
the shipyard and that they could not
afford to have their cars crowded
with the baskets of washer-women-
The companies are now required &c
use all of their equipment to accom-
modate the workingmen. continued
Mr.. Butler. and if the cars are
crowded with women with huge bas-
kets full of clothes more complaints
will be made about inadequate ser
vice for the shipyard employees.

Councils RetrenChment Com
mittee Ready for pruning"
MAY HOLD UP BUDGET
Some Members Favor Deferring
Action Upon Appropriations for
Coming Fiscal Year Pending Com
pletion OF the investigation.

Action on the budget for the next
fiscal year, which already has been
hanging fire before the common coun-
Gil for upwards OF three months,
may be deferred by the lower branch
until the newly appointed retrench-
ment committee makes its report to
the council. II is understood that a
tactit agreement to that effect has
been reached by the leaders in the
common council and, as ii requires
twelve votes TO pass the budget, the
leaders probably could block any ef-
fort to bring the budget up before
the special committee reports.
II had been announced early this
week that a special meeting of the
common council would be called for
tonight TO consider the budget, but
President Jones has not directed the
clerk 10 issue any call and it was
generally reported that no special
meeting for this purpose will be held
IN the very near future.
BEGIN "Prunine'' Tonight.
Calls Tor the first meeting of the
retrenchment committee for tonight
at O'Clock at the city hall were is
sued yesterday by Alderman Caleb
ID. West and Councilman +. l. Ford,
who are chairmen of the committees
appointed from the board OF aldermen
and common council respectively.
The committee will organize by
electing a chairman and then get
down TO work.
1t is generally agreed that the com
mittee has very difficult task be
fore il and the members are OF the
opinion that they will not be ready
to make their report to the council
before the regular meeting in May.
In all probability the committee will
first take up the matter of abOlishing
and consolidating certain city offices.
Ii is generally rumored in municipal
circles that the pruning" knife will
be applied TO at least three and prob
ably four Offices.
Create Purchasing Committee.
The retrenchment committee viii
make a thorough examination into the
purchasing Of supplies for the various
city departments and it probably will
recommend to the council that pur
chasing committee be created. 1t will
be the duty of this committee to buy
ali supplies VI MHdtSOCNtA NoCt
by the city, the purchases being made
at wholesale and under competitive
bids. Some CT the cOuncilmen who
have given much time and thought
to this matter are of the opinion that
the city can save several thousand
dollars annually by making its pur-
chases in this manner.
The report of the pruning com
mittee will have effect upon several
sections of the budget and il is for
that reason that some of the council
men favor letting the budget go over
until the committee makes its re-
port.
On the other hand. it is known
that others of the councilmen are OPP
posed TO delaying action on the bud
get IL is possible that the council
will have some difficulty in arriving
at an agreement on the report of the
retrenchment committee and if such
is the case several special meetings
will have 10 be held in order to
finally adept a retrenchment policy
and the budget before the beginning
