torney, was in Albany yesterday on
business which might prevent his re-
turn to-day.
The hearing of Mr.. Tatum on an as

chauffeur, Henry Coddington, for dis
orderly conduct, were set for next Fri
day. but Judge Dodge said last night
that they, too. would be in the pro-

Just TO prevent life from getting
monotonous, however, Mr.. Tatum's an

the Mineola jury will be argued before
Justice Crane, Of the Supreme Court.

plication is granted, a new trial will
be moved and a change of venue prob

ried to Police headquarters TO pre-
sent Commissioner Woods with a reso-
luton saying:

No outsider was admitted to the

of the lawyers remarks. There were
many. il was stated, who wanted to

UNEMPLOYED GET
REBUFF FROM CITY
Experts Deny That There
Is Big Amount OF Work
for Release.
REPORT CENSURES
GARY'S ASSERTION
pinchot Attacks Mayors Com
mittee and SCOTS at
PerkinS's Efforts.

New York's unemployment situation
has brought extra employment to at
least one group of faithful workers or
Pa Knickerbocker's payrolls. They are
the clerical force Of the corporate
stock budget committee, and the re-
suits Of their labors were given forth
Yesterday in the form Of a statement
TO the Board Of Estimate disputing the
recent assertion of Judge Gary, OF the
Mayors Committee on Unemployment,
that there was S5.4S9,O00 worth of city
work which could be released during
the winter months TO help the unem-
ployed.
The budget committees answer TO
this yesterday was that there IS only
100000 of such work which can be
started before March I, as revealed by
a study of the list Of work cited by
Judge Gary in his estimate.
at appears that this list was pre-
pared by the Commissioners Of Ac-
counts Office at the request OF the City
Chamberlain" said yesterdays state
ment. As to work Just not yet in the
contract state, but in the process of
award quoting Judge Gary's report,
listed at sell 900, the budget commit
tees researches have found this also
filled with errors; so also the list of
work for which contracts have been
awarded. The answer was signed by
Controller Prendergast. President Nc
Aneny of the Board of Aldermen and
Borough Presidents Pounds and
Mathewson.
All around, it was a scratchy day for
the lovers of mankind. Amos Pinchot
broke out yesterday with a blast
against the Mayors unemployment and
food price committees. directing his
hardest puffs at Judge Gary and
George S. Perkins and at the fact the
committee put it up to the city TO re-
lease work. II was in the form of
letter addressed to Mayor Mitchell.
"Now that Mr.. Gary and his com
mittee shave tossed back the unem-
ployed poor into the hands of the city
administration, it is perhaps not lr-
relevant to point out that the attitude
of the administration toward unem-
ployment has been characterized by
spirit which seems little snort or 1.-TWO
lous,' he wrote.
"ln the first place, il puts at the
head of the committee to deal with
unemployment a gentleman who has
spent a large part of his time and
undeniable talent in exploiting labor
and crushing the organization of labor.
This in itself has struck a distinctly
sardonic note. The administration also
puts in charge OF the Cost of Living
Committee another gentleman whose
career in keeping up the price of the
necessaries of existence has been con-
spicuous. | refer to Mr.. Perkins

CLEARS AWAY PIMPLEs

There is one remedy that sell
dom fails to clear away all pim-
pies, black heads and skin erup-
tions and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you
with zemo, which generally over
comes all skin diseases. Acne,
eczema. itch, pimples, rashes,
black heads in most cases give
way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight.
Itching usually stops instantly.
Zemo is safe, clean, easy to use
and dependable. It costs only
