Operated Satisfactorily
Smelser Has Had Trouble
With Besselman Lately.

Dissatisfied with the way the city
crematory has been operated for some
time past DR.. S. G. Smelser, secretary
of the board of public health, has dis.
charged Harry Besselman, superin-
tendent Of the plant since the Rob-
bins administration came into office
Besselman was removed from Of
flee several days ago but the an
nouncement of this action was not
made until today. No one has been
appointed to succeed him. At the pres
ent time George Jenkins, who was
Besselman's assistant, has charge Of
the crematory, Roy Long being his
assistant.
IF jenkins makes good he will be
appointed superintendent. If he don't
some one else will be tried out" DR..
Smelser said today Il am determined
to have that plant operated as effici'
emily as Is possible"
Poor Work Done. .
The crematOry was reconstructed
carly this year at an expense of about
$4,000 and it now has three incinera-
tors which are large enough to dis
pose Of all the garbage of city twice
the size of Richmond. The plant Is an
work has not been done in a satisfac-
tory manner since it was rebuilt, the
health board secretary asserted.
Or. Smelser also admitted today
that on several occasions he had to
reprimand Besselman for drinking. He
also stated that at times Besselman
neglected his work and that he had
been trouble maker. DR., Smelser
said that although he had been oblig-
ed on several occasions to reprimand
Besselman for not doing his work sat
isfactorily Besselman frequently COM
planned to the mayor and the mem
bers Of the board of public works that
ne had too much work to do.
Besselman, 1t is understood, recent
iy asked that some one be appointed
to act as plant superintendent for two
or three weeks but Secretary Smelser
decided the best plan would be to re-
lieve Besselman permanently Of all
duties connected with the management
Of the crematory.

: TOCHECKMATE billion DOLLAR
y LOAN TOBUY ALLIES MUNITIONS

In cooperation with the combination
Of eastern pro-German banks, the
western pro German banks, with their
New York connections, are expected
to protest against their eastern agents
taking any part In the Allies loan,
making their protest on the grounds
that American money is better en-
ployed in the development Of Ameri-
can enterprises than in the financing
Of foreign war. The protest will ap-
ply to all American banks.
In the meanwhile, the British CON-
missioners are sbasing their claim to
billion dollars they desire to borrow is
to be used in the United States for the
purchase of material for export and
for the establishment of further cred
its for the governments OF all the
Allies in the placing of further Am
erican orders. The commissioners
take the ground that 1t is wholly to
be floated inasmuch as further war
orders and the continuation OF pre-
sent war contracts depend upon the
placing of the loan.
As q very direct hint to the Ameri-
can financiers, the official statement
OF the trade OF the last week was Is
sued yesterday BY the statistical bu-
reau Of the department Of commerce.
showing that the exports OF the week
dropped off $27, 100000. This treinen-
dous decrease, the British commission
ers pointed out, is due to the fact that

cial errand of the Allies representa-
