HYDE STORY DENIED
BY PRENDERGAST.
New York's Long Missing City
Chamberlain Returns.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-City Chamber
lain Charles II. Hyde's statement upon
his return to New York after his pro-
longed absence, that he (Hyde) had Sc
cured the guarantee from the directors
of the closed Carnegie Trust Company
that acts as a safeguard for the s650,OOO
city funds on deposit there, was
PROMPTLY denied today by Controller
William A.. Prendergast.
Mr.. Hyde returned after his long and
mysterious absence (Which he admits
began on December Z last) in a defiant
mood and In appearance utterly In con-
trast with statements made by Mayor
Gaynor and other close friends that he
is a very Ill man. He resumed his du-
ties at his office in the Stewart building,
at the northeast corner of Broadway
and Chambers street, today.
The city chamberlain looks to be IN
good health. Probably he is not SO ro-
bust as he was a few months ago, and
his color is not as bright and rudy as
It might be. but these are no signs that
would cause alarm as to his physical
condition.
Even Mr.. Hyde was forced TO smile
when an interviewer asked him about
the basis for Mayor Gaynor's state
ment that he was very i'll and might
not live six months"

tween Jersey and Stockton streets.

Scales, measures, paper bags n but
ter dishes will be taken to the class
room tonight, and also a set Of pictures
showing the correct and incorrect use

use a liquid measure for beans and such
things, and do not give the purchaser
full measure. In the use OF butter
dishes 1t is said that although the dish
is heavy the dealer makes no allowance
for it in weighing the butter. The
remedy that will be suggested is that
each housewife have a scale of her own
and weigh her purchases at home. She
will also be told to insist on the proper
weight of butter and to ask that 1t be
weighed on paper instead OF the dish.
Copies of the new weights and meas

the dealers throughout the city, follow
