COMMITTEES
MIR, Spinks to Question Presidents
Right to Remove Him From
Light Committee

A question has arisen over the ap-
pointment of the committees OF the
Common Council, due to recent chan
ges made by President R. D. Brun-
back, which may prevent the or
ganization of two committees for
some weeks. When Mr.. Brumback
made his appointments at the last
meeting of Council he overlooked the
fact that the city charter provided
that the light committee should be
composed of one member from each
ward and one from the city at large.
President Marbury, of the Board of
Aldermen named as members of the
committee Alderman Brill from the
First Ward and Alderman Fitzgerald
from the Fourth Ward and Mr.. Brum-
back named Councilman Spinks from
the First Ward, Councilman Harii-
son from the Third Ward and Coun-
Gilman Swan from the Fourth Ward.
This left the Second Ward without
representation.
When Mr.. Brumback's attention
was called to the fact that he had rot
been governed by the organic act OF
the city, he wrote Mr.. Spinks a letter
advising him that he had been remoy-
ed from the committee and Howard
w. Smith, of the Second Ward sub
stituted in his place.
Mr.. Spinks, who has been merl-
Der of the light committee for a num-
Der of years, did not relish the change
and consulted legal opinion with the
result that he has come to the conc!u-
sion that the president had no right
to change a standing committee after
it has once been appointed. In any
event he claims that the president
cannot change the membership OF
a committee except with the approx
al of council. He points out the fact
that while the president is given al
thority to appoint the standing com-
mittees, nowhere in the charter or
in the statutes of Virginia is he given
the right to remove member from
said committee.
According to Nh opinks, If the pres
ident has such a right he could re-
move member of a committee WHO
failed to agree with him, later On,
during his administration, and ap-
noint some one who would lend HIM
self to his purposes.
On these grounds Mr.. Splnks his
positively refused to serve as :
member of the health committee to
which Mr.. Brumback now wishes TO
appoint him.
TO further complicate the situation
ton Howard W. Smith who was ap-
pointed on the light committee IN
place of Mr.. Spinks, has written
President Brumback letter in which
he refuses to serve or the committee
on the ground that Mr.. Spinks Is con-
testing the right Of the president to
remove him.

NEW BALM FOR ALIMONERS
Justice Erlanger Allows Erring
Husband Right to Live.

Justice Erlanger, OF the Supreme Court
who always has been opposed 10 putting
man I'm the county jail because Il. cannot
lay almony to his wife, further endeared
himself To several thousand almoners yos-
terday by the dictum that 1T is the un-
doubted right OF the wife 10 be supported
by her spouse. but has not the husband
also tho right 10 i've which the court
answered himself In the Affirmative
The case was that of Mrs. Gussie 1ubel-
sky against Louis Lubelsky for a separa-
ton. I'm which the wife asked for S25
week alimony and counsel fee Of $3.50, nj
though the husband said he was making
only $40 a week. Under the circumstances,
said Justice Erlanger. the husband must
either starve or go TO Jail and be supported
by the county. Some men. he said. willingly
submit TO confinement in Jail but he added
that such martyrdom is not general.
Lubelsky showed that he had already
given his wife $500 in lieu Of alimony and
paid her lawyer $3.50. The justice denied
the motion for aimony.

HEAR ABOUT STREETCARS
General Manager Hadley Talks to

I'VE agree with all you've said about the
new stepless car. Mr.. Medley; IT'S fine, but
when are we going 10 set moro ot them
Thus Mrs Ralph Troutman, president OF
the Women's Health Protective Associa-
ton. TO Frank Hedley, vice-presdent ana
general manager of the New York Rail
WAYS Company. who had Just finished an
address 10 the association at the Academy
of Medicine yesterday afternoon.
We'll, madam. that is difficult gueS-
ton 70 answer. When we took over the
street railways IN New York City we found
the treasury in a depleted condition, ana II
costs money 10 build new cars All ! can
say is that when We buy new cars. If that
is the best car then in existence well huy
it, But you must realize that We nave
quite n rolling stock on hand
Another member then arose ard boldly
told Mr.. Hedley that he was not very
definite. and she was afraid she might
never live to see the new cars.

you ought TO be HAPPY 10 see an era start
ing that your children and grandchildren

Aren't there any second hand car deal

Yes. madam. great number
"Thcn why don't you dispose Of some OF
your cars 20 them"
IT'S a bitter truth confessed Mr. He'd
lev. that every large city in the country
has better car equipment than New YORK.
rs because they're newer cities OF
course" he FASTENED to add. but you can
well see how we can't get rid Of many
cars to them
Another member Of the association rose
to her feet
what this association has been fghting
for" she said has been lower step and
abolition Of the swinging doors in the pay
as-you-entcr cars. If you can't give us
those ideal new cars right away, can't you
remodel tho old Oncs?'
Mr. Hcdley promised 10 turn his attention
70 this problem cat lis earliest conven-
!enCc"
After explaining the advantages OF inc
new car Mir Hediey said he'd like TO say
few words about housekeeping in 900
cars with q opo servants. At the mention
OF something that sounded like the ser
want problem" all the women pricked M
their cars and listened sympatheticallS
while Mr. Hedley told them how hard II
was to keep the cars clean
you can't change peoples habits, said
Mr.. Hcdley IAN natonalities use the
cars. and some Of them have dirty habits
and half an hour after a car leaves the
barns. all clean. it may be Uttered with
fruit pceIs and peanut shells. Then every
one says, My gracious, who's running this
thing" Just put yourself in the place OF
