FROM OFFICE
President of Board of Works
Resignation Accepted by
Mayor as a Result of Many
Complaints.

dicted to the use of intoxicating IL
auors, and that upon some occasions
Hammond drank excessively. He i'm
mediately informed Hammond that
such practice could not continue and
that if it did, his resignation would be
asked. The mayor stated today that
he believed that after his talk upon
this subject, Mr.. Hammond complied
with the request.
The condition of Mr.. Hammond's
wife who has been ill for some weeks,
had postponed the presentation of his
resignation. Immediately after Mayor
Zimmerman called attention to the
fact that Hammond had not turned
over the rent money, in question, Mr..
Hammond wrote out his resignation.
although he left the date blank, say
ing that whenever his resignation was
requested the mayor could fill in the
date, the resignation to take effect i'm
mediately.
The mayor made the following state
ment today, in connection with ques-
tons put to him:
Gives Hammond Praise.
Mr. Hammond is one of the best
men | have had during any of my ad-
ministrations as mayor of this city.
When l say this l mean it. He is the
best qualified man in the city to hold
the position as president of the board
of public works, because he knows the
price and cost of every article of ma
terial which the city uses. He was
highly recommended to me when | ap-
pointed him.
'If l had my way about it there
would be nothing said about it, be-
cause Mr.. Hammond is truly penitent
over what he has done. 1 believe in as
sisting a man rather than crush him
and l firmly believe that Mr.. Ham
mond realizes everything"
Mr.. Hammond declared that there
was no truth to the rumor that he
was resigned because Of alleged poll
teal jealousy existing between him
and the mayor. Cause for this rumor,
it is said was founded on a statement
some time ago to the effect that Ham
mond was grooming himself for the
mayorality in 1913.
Mr. Hammond declared that he and
Mayor Zimmerman are on the best of
terms and are as friendly as ever. He
stated that he had accepted an offer
to take charge of a department in a
local hardware store.
Mayor Zimmerman has not, as yet,
decided whom he will appoint as sue
cessor to Hammond. 1t is believed
that he will not make the appointment
for several days.

that question. l had that in mind at
the first meeting of the committee
which l attended, when my counsel
asked that the names of witnesses be
submitted to him, and then Senator
Kern protested in an undertone that
does not appear in the record.
And l had that in mind when l
answered him. Think of it, think of a
United States senator, a lawyer, num-
bling, No, no, no; don't give him the
names of the witnesses against him
A layman who had done that might
have been excused for ignorance. But
no lawyer can be excused for such an
outrage.
"Tried to Middle Record"
But l had more than that in mind
when l answered the senator l had in
mind the fact that he had attended
about 80 per cent of the sessions, and
then only to register, and that he
heard less than so per cent of the ev-
idence taken at these 80 per cent of
the hearings. l had in mind that he

Lions Head Fountains,

Perhaps you have noticed that the
water in great many public foun-
tains. whether for man or beast. comes
out Of lions mouth. Did you ever
stop to think why lions head should
be selected in preference to any other
design? Among the ancient Egyp.
tians the rising of the waters of the
river Nile was the most important
event Of the year as it meant life and
prosperity to the whole nation. This
rising of the waters always took place
when the sun was in the constellation
Of Leo or the lion, SO they adopted
the shape of lion as the symbol for
the life giving waters OF the Nile and
all their fountains were carved with a
lions head. The Greeks and Romans
copied this symbol and so 1t has come
down to us.-New York Sun.

had not asked one question during
the whole hearing that tended to elicit
the truth, that all he had tried to do
was to middle the record.
Il have in mind what this righteous
man once did, or what he is purported
to have said. He said: 1T is matter
of great regret that under TIE cloak
of the secret ballot so many represen-
tatives were able to defy the will OF
their constituents. The secret ballot
made possible not only these betray-
ais, but this sort of treachery, double
dealings and corrupt practices. l be-
lieve the thoughtful people will find
in the scenes of the last two days
additional strength in favor of the di-
rect election of senators. do not care
now to say more about the cause
which contributed to the result
This is quotation from Senator
Kern's charges that Senator Shively
secured the Indiana senatorship away
from Kern in 1909 by means of cor
ruption.
