COMMISSIONERS file
PLEA IN ABATEMENT
District Heads Claim that First Suit in
Certiorari Prevents Mmdamus
in Kalbfus Case.
FORMER ACTION NOW PENDING

The District Commissioners I'm objecting
to the litigation instituted against them
by Samuel T. Kalbfus, former member
OF the Board of Assistant Assessors, to
secure his reinstatement, yesterday filed
a plea in abatement to the mandamus
proceedings on which a rule issued by
Justice Wright was returnable yesterday.
Hearing on the matter has been con-
tinued indefinitely.
Corporation Counsel Thomas appeared
before Justice Stafford yesterday i'm re-
sponse to the rule issued on the manda-
mus petition. and in behalf of the Com
missiOners filed a plea to abate that pro-
ceeding. on the theory that the first
suit in certIorari prevents the institution
OF mandamus. Mr.. Thomas claims the
writ o. reTtiorari was obtained, for the
same causes set forth in the mandamus
proceedings. involves the same parties
and is subject to the same defenses. He
also points out that the former action
still is PENDING and undetermined in the
court.
In the response filed yesterday by the
Commissioners. the testimony of Mr..
Kalbfus before the House Investigating
Committee is set forth. as is also the
claim made by the respondents. that
they. acting as a board, found and de-
termined that the former Assistant AS
SCISSOR had, in the conduct of his office,
convinced the members Of the House
Committee that he has been "unfaithful
to his public trust in and by speculating
in real estate while such Assessor. con-
trary to the public interest" The Com
missioners in conclusion pray, a decision
from the court whether or not Mr.. Kalb-
fus Is entitled to have an answer 20 his
petition for mandamus made by the. Dis

IMPERATOR REPORT
MEETS WITH DENIAL
story that Big Liner Is to BE with
drawn for New Equipment
Declared False.

f. F DrOop and Sons Company, local
agents for the Hamburg-American Line,
yesterday received a telegram from the
New York office of the Hamburg Amer
lean Line authorizing an emphatic denial
of the cable report published in New York
papers that the Imperator is to be with
drawn next month to be equipped with
oil-burning boilers.
Director Meyer said the statement
made that the coal fuel boilers of the
ImperatOr provided insufficient motor
power for the monster ship is perfectly
absurd, as she has been attaining a high
rate of speed on her last eight voyages,
and proven a great success and a credit
to her builders and owners.
Mr.. Meyer said that the Imperator will
maintain a regular schedule as adver-
tised, that she will not be Withdrawn
from the service until the middle of No
vember and then for the purpose of
docking for the usual overhaul which is
done by all the big lines during the VIM

Representative Esch of Wisconsin. yes
terday introduced a bill in the House

fication by the Commission any order

Commerce Committee. sent a latter to
representatives, of eleven railroads at
Chicago who Tuesday telegraphed him
urging that full investigation Of rail-
road accidents be made before prevent

fore the recent New Haven Railroad
wreck, and would report at the next ses-
sion OF Congress, when. in all proba-
bility, new legislation will be enacted.
