PAYING GAS INSPECTOR
is THROWING MONEY AWAY.
~. J. HAARER.
D. P. w. Commissioner Says He
May Not Appoint Successor
When Hyland Quits
~. }. HAARER.

Paying 1900 annual salary to a
city gas inspector is like throwing the
money away said Commissioner
Haarer Tuesday morning. II may not
appoint any one to fill the office when
Inspector Hyland resigns July /.
The office Of city gas inspector was
created on the recommendation OF
Mayor Thompson five years ago. At
that time the mayor had an investiga-
ton made which cost the taxpay ers
$4,000 and the only thing that grew
out Of it was the creation OF this
office. The ordinance the mayor had
drawn up put the appointment OF the
inspector up TO me and after five
years experience in the matter can
not see that the taxpayers are getting
any returns from their money.
The mayor wanted little thunder
and so the gas was inspected In FIVE
years time | have read the weekly re-
port of the Inspector before IL went
to the council and | have never yet
found an instance where the gas was
shown to be below standard or where
a penny was saved TO any one. Ii APP
pears TO me that the office is a USE
less appendage. The meters are In.
spected by another employee and the
gas company pays his salary, although
he is appointed by me. This. however,
is a useful work, as hundreds of
meters have been adjusted aid tie
taxpayers protected. The city might
pay for an analysis OF the gas from
time TO time TO better advantage than
making a salaried position for some
one"

Indiana Man Renews Vigorous
Battle to Gust Blond Boss"
From Illinois
SUMS UP FACTS IN CASE
Speaks For Minority of Commit
tee Which Insists Accused
Must Step Aside

WASHINGTON, Jan 4-The open
ing gun in the. fight at the present
session to Dust Senator William Lori
mer the Blonde boss" of Illinois, was
fired today in the senate by Senator
Kern, Of Indiana.
The former Democratic vice-presi-
dental candidate declared he expect
ed to consume two days in the investi-
eating committee. He speaks for the
minority OF the committee which
seeks 10 declare Lorimer's seat va
cant. The majority reported that
since Lorimer had once been cleared
by the senate, and no new evidence
having adduced, his case was res ad-
judicata.
1t was this technical point TO which
the Indiana senator addressed him
self mainly ntoday's installment of
his speech.
Whenever the causes that existed
for ordering the DEMONSTRATION.
Kern said, 1T was ordered, that order
was acted on, the new investigation
has been made, Senator Lorimer free
ly and without protest participating
In ii, and the report OF the commit
tee is here for final disposition. II
will be quite apparent to lawyers that
thiS plea comes too late, II II ever
could have been made. The plea It
self is Res Adjudicata."
Kern referred to the res adjudicata
plea as IAN eleventh hour defense
and urged senators not to be misled
by IT, He declared that 1t was strange
this plea was not made earlier in the
hearings and pointed out that Lorimer
"tacitly acquiesced" in the senate's
action in ordering re-trial did not
bring up the question during the hear
ings. and that the majority members
of the investigating committee did
not seem to consider the defense until
the headings, costing more than $780,
900 had been concluded
IF the power of the senate 70 order
the re-investigation is conceded then
this defense OF res adjudication was
when the senate was considering the
question as 10 whether the case should
be reinvestigated. 1t is now too late
for Senator l.orimer to be permitted
to urge this remarkable defense"
