The discovery was made by Peter
Hoffmeyer, a German artist, who
threatened TO report the matter to

Authorities at the Y NJ. c. A, say
the kaiser's picture was removed

As He Attempts to Bite
Half Noon IN Handtul of
Fool.

While attempting to steer his auto
mobile and eat sandwich at the same
time, DR.. C. f. Schuchert last night
encountered unexpected difficulties. In
his efforts to master the situation he
momentarily lost control of the ma
chine and permitted it to jam the
curbing with sufficient force to spring
an axle and throw the front wheels
considerably out of line.
As the doctor was turning the cor
ner at Fountain and Broadway, he en-
deavored to bite a half moon in his
sandwich as the big machine swung
around the curve In his enforced
haste his jaws closed on the thumb
causing him to relinQuish his grasp
and drop his lunch.
In attempting to seize the falling
morsel, his attention was. diverted
from the steering wheel, and the big
car was brought in violent contact
with the concrete curb.

BOHNSACK, FOE
OF KACE, COMES
BACK TO FOLD
Man, Who Thought He Had
Grievance, Sees Mistake
and Aids Mayor.
SAYS HE is SORRY
HE OPPOSED KAGE
Will Finish Campaign by Urging
the Reelection Of Chief
Executive.

William H. BOhnsack, Sr., who has
been considered one Of the most pro-
nounced anti-Kage men in the city
yesterday informed The Tribune that
he had been misinfOrmed concerning
the Mayor and that he would now ac-
lively support Mr.. Kage.
q feel that l did the mayor an in
jury by believing what I had heard
said Mr.. Bohnsack," and l am now 60
ing to work doubly hard to discount
the damage that l did to him.
q am not only going to cast my
vote for the Mayor, but l propose to
urge my friends to do likewise. | am
certain he will be reelected"
Mr.. BOhnsack was one of the origin
al Schulz men, and has taken an ac-
tive part in the city campaign since
the formation of the various tickets
were begun several weeks ago.
When Schulz announced that he had
tStluGt IlOL W ilIEihC lIt IdCt IOI
mayor, Mr.. Bohnsack was expected to
throw his support to either Phillips
or KOchtitzky.
1t is said that he was laboring un-
der an erroneous impression that
Mayor Kage had done him an injury
when Mr.. Bohnsack was employed by
the city about one year ago.
When he learned that he had been
misinformed, he lost no time in set
ting himself right with the Mayor.
His announcement yesterday that he
was going to actively support the
Mayor, served as d bomb in both the
KochtitZky and Phillips camps.
Mr.. Bohnsack is an active worker
in fraternal orders and has many
friends who, it is said, would vote as
he requested.

KEROSENE MIXED In
GASOLINE AIDS AUTO
Charles Black Used Coal Oil for
Efficiency Gas and Gets
Results.

Charles Black, who drives a car in
the passenger service from this city to
adjacent towns, a few days ago con-
ceived the idea of reducing his cx-
penses of some efficiency gas, which
had been highly recommended to him
as a method Of keeping his engine
clean and saving gasoline.
The agent who calledupon Mr.. Black
informed him that with the use of a
small amount of his secret compound
mixed with a large quantity of gaso-
line, mileage capacity would be in
creased greatly, and his engine would
be kept free from foreign accumula-
tions, and would be self-lubricating.
The argument prevailed, and Mr..
Black invested $1.5O in the purchase
of a quart of the magic liquid.
Emil Koeppel, who also drives a
car from the same garage, was a
silent witness to the transaction, and
after the purchase was made, watched
Mr.. Black place the package in 4 Sc
cure hiding place.
After he had gone, Mr.. KoeppeI
emptied the contents of the can into
another receptacle and substituted
kerosene for the highly laudcd eff
cheney gas.
The other employees were advised of
the prank, and they all watched Mr..
Black engaged in his laboratory work
every morning as he compounded his
money-saving mixture.
Tuesday night when all the drivers
had returned from their trips and
were seated around the fire in the
garage office, Mr.. Black secured a
paper and pencil and began to figure
After finishing his computations he
advised his companions that he had
figured that by the investment of
$3.50 made a few days before he had
saved many times the amount in fuel
He said that by accurate count, he
had travelled almost 1000 miles dur
ing which time he had gained 7 miles
to each gallon of gasoline by the use
of a patent preparation purchased
when they were away.
After he had written a testimonial
praising the merits of the efficiency
gas, he filled out an order blank for
another quart and enclosed the letter
and order in an envelope.
Before he had opportunity to mail
the same, Mr.. Koeppel suggested that
he save his money and use coal oil.
Some effort was required to convince
Mr.. Black that he had been expert
menting with kerosene, but he still
maintains that he saved gasoline in
spite of the prankishness of Mr.. Keep
pei.

KOCHTITZKY IS
AREACTIONARY.
NEICHBORS SAY
Efforts to Improve North Pa
cific Street Were Hamp-
cred by Gum Drop"
MADE PROMISE AND
THEN FRACTURED IT
Said He Would Not Protest, But
Secretly Did, Is
Charge.

Ncighbors Of Otto Kochtitzky, the
"gum drop" candidate for Mayor, take
issue with the advocates of Kochtitz-
ky who are expatiating upon his pro-
gressivcism.
Some Of those living near his home
are planning to issue a statement
showing the gum drop" nominees at
t;tude on plans to improve North Paci-
fic street.
A petition TO improve that thor
oughfarc was drafted by residents liv-
ingas neighbors to Brother Kochtitzky
bat he declined to sign the document.
When asked for an explanation, he
said that while he would not sign the
petition to improve the street, he
would not put his signature on a re-
monstrance.
A short time later, those who draft
ed the petition, learned that Kochtitz-
ky had signed 4 renonstrance. When
the petitioners again called upon the
candidate to explain his broken prom
ise, he said he had signed the remon-
STRANGE to prevent a hardship being
imposed upon some of his neighbors.
1t was stated that some Of the
property owners were not financially
able to bear the expense of improving
the street. But when those who had
signed the petition to improve the
street, called upon some Of those who
had been mentioned as too poor to pay
for the Improvement work, and offer
ed to pay their share, those who had
signed the remonstrance declined to
approve the plan to repair the street.
These property owners are going to
call upon Brother Kochtitzky to ex-
plain whether this sample of pro-
gressiveism is the variety which he
will adopt if he should be elected to
the office Of mayor.
The statement made by Kochtitzky
that he will not be able to devote his
time to the office if elected, has set
"gum drops" to wondering who will
serve as chief executive during his alb
sence.
The gum drops" who are strongest
in their advocacy of Kcchtitzky, say
the race is between him and Mayor
Kage. They have eliminated Phillips
from the contest entirely, but the
Phillips men say Brother kochtitzky
will be lucky il he gets 125 votes.
Friends of Mayor Kage feel conf
dent that he will get more votes than
will be cast for both Kochtitzky and
Phillips, and this prediction has been
made by some of the ''gum drops"
who participated in the two gum
drop mass meetings.
