BREACH PROMPTS SUIT
AGAINST MAYOR SMITH
Papers Were Filed Today in
Case of Elevator Chiefs APP
pointment, Alleging
Juggling
INJUNCTION IS ASKED

Methods of political leaders by which
civil service requirements are made easy
for favored appointees to municipal posi-
tions are to be attacked in a series of
suits to be instituted against Mayor
Smith, his directors and members of the
Civil Service Commission
The first of these actions. the papers In
which were filed today. concerns the ap-
pointment of Robert A. Pitts. of 5443
Locust street, to the position of chief of
the Bureau of Elevator Inspection, at
salary of $500 a year.
In the form of a Taxpayers suit. the
Court of Common Pleas was asked to
issue an Injunction restraining City Con
troller Walton from countersignng. and
City Treasurer McCoach from paying. any
salary warrant to Pitts, while Mayor Smith
and Director of Public Safety Wilson are to
be restrained from issuing any such war
rant or retaining Pitt in the citys employ.
The suit was brought by Louis Rosen-
blutt, of 1928 North 9Th street through At
torney Joseph l.. McAeer.
In the bill of complaint the fitness of
Pitts to hold the position was attacked
The bill creating the Bureau of Elevator
Inspection, it is held, expressly stipulates
that the person appointed to the position of
chief must be man of practical expert
ence in the active construction of elevators
Only an expert in elevator construction, 1t
is contended, could be appointed, or could
qualify. under the stringent requirements
of the act.

apartment house when Professionally ap-
pointed by Mayor Smith. He is a follower
of Harry A. Mackey Ware leader of the
46th Ward, and chairman of the Work
mems Compensation Commission.

the feeling that he was Slated" for the
permanent appointment. it is asserted that
the Civil Service Commission had difficulty
in inducing others to participate in the re-
oured competitive examination for the
place. The examination. scheduled for
March, had to be postponed. 1t was finally
held on May 2.
This examination, 1t is said, was not of
n technical nature, but rather an elemen-
tary one, and that 1t afforded no opportu-
nity for practical elevator constructors to
show their skill and fitness. The result, an
nounced last Thursday, showed Pitts at the
head of the eligible list.
He was credited with SO for practical ex-
perience Pitt was never registered in the
international Elevator Constructors Union
although all elevator inspectors are said to
he on the books of this organization.
Robert Smith, who is regarded as prac;
tical elevator man and who installed the
elevator plant In the Widener Building, re-
ceived an average of 81. Pitt was awarded
a mark of 90 for personal fitness, while
Smith got 80
In this connection, the court Is asked in
the bill to declare the examination null and
void and order the Civil Service Commits
sion to hold another.

Whole Outlook
Determined By
Health State

The condition of a mans health al
ways aTects TO a marked extent his
mental attitude toward life in gen
eral.
This fact is so universally admitted
that columns in the newspapers are
devoted to Dyspepsia Philosophy"
and of all ailments it is safe to assert
that stomach diseases work NOR havoc
with human machinery than all other
disorders combined.
OF all the ills. chronic dyspepsia is
probably the most common. Its causes
characterizations and results are
many. Skilled specialists have been
Unable TO cope with this almost uni
versal malady. However. old Mother
Nature, who, after all. is the ideal ply
stefan, in combination with skill in
chemistry. has compounded in her in
exhaustible laboratory a marvellous
remedy for this trouble.
1t would be almost impossible to
describe the suierings that this dread
disease has brought to mankind. The
most common symptoms are pains in
the stomach. dull, heavy. bloated
feeling, loss of appetite, headaches,
nausea. dizziness. coated tongue, fitful
sleep, loss of energy, nervousness and
meld0CnOlld.
Tanlac. the great reconstructive ton
ic. appetizer and builder of wornout
tissues. compounded after years of
study. was designed to check this dis
tressing condition. Its purposes are to
restore healthy, normal appetite,
good. sound, restful sleep, end nervous
ness, revive lost energy--in short, to
restore the stomach to the havit of do
ing a full days work and doing it eff
ficiently.
This Master Medicine is composed
entirely of roots, herbs, flowers and
barks gathered from the remote cor
ners of the earth. and is compounded
today under the personal direction of
Joseph Van Trimbach, the chemist
who created the Tanlac formula.
Thousands of men and women who
have found relief from their sufferings
through the Tanlac treatment are daily
acknowledging their gratitude for this
wonderful reconstructive tonic.
Tanlac is now being introduced In
Richmond at Glenn Thistlethwaite's
drug stores, where its merits are be-
ing explained daily by the Tanlac
Man.
