IS AGAINST ANNUAL
 APPOINTMENT SYSTEM
Health Board Takes Action Favorine' Choice for Indefinite Period of
 It's Employees.

Hereafter the health board will make it's appointments for an indefi- nite period and without reference to the annual meeting as has been the custom up to the present. This Ac- tion was taken at special meeting last evening when a motion was pre- sented by pr. G. H. Bodley appoint ing Pluming Inspector Thomas Quin- livan a full time inspector until the venport seconded the motion a nd then the debate started.
 Commissioner Burns took eScep- tion to the motion, saying that the charter and ordinances required no such action. He favored appointment for an indefinite period and then any time the board saw fit to discharge a man it could do it. Dr. Bodley thought the motion in accordance with the sense of the common coun- cil resolution to place the inspector on a fulltime basis. He was willing to amend or withdraw as the meet ing wished. pr. Bray was opposed to the prevailing system and said so in no uncertain manner. It was vot- ed to make appointments for an in definite period rather than to the an nual meetings.
 Superintendent ReekS report ed that he had conferred with the cor poration counsel regarding ordin- ance changes, but is not ready to make a report. Commissioner Da- venpOrt reported the plumbers eX- amning committee had recently giv

 Center.

The playground commission, which will appear this evening before the board of finance and taxation, net yesterday afternoon and compiled its estimates. The commission decided to ask for $4,500 as against $4206 last year. The city appropriated ,t year $500, cutting off $1,000 for a social center. An allowance ot p-.,. for equipment was also cut off.

#Act that he saw only fifty people Banding.
 Saw No Overcrowding.
 S A Hartford insurane agent, T. P. B bushnell, told of visiting the theater saturday afternoon and Sunday eve Hing. Events made it necessary for Sim to spend most of his time Satur- Bay in the rear of the house and he lid not consider it crowded on Sun Say evening. DO you do business Hvith MT. McMahon?" the prosecutor 6sked the agent
 3 "No, McMahon is not insurable, he's too heavy" replied the insur- Hsnce man. As a litter ran around ahe court room the judge asked for order.
 Harry Mack, an employe of McMa- @aan, denied that the theater was 6vercrowded as charged on Saturday
 Afternoon.
 As Prosecutor Klett began to sum @ap his case he repeated a portion of testimony. The latter Nsuddenly thought he was being mis- sauoted and shouted across the court room" that wasn't my testimony. "You mustn't interrupt the court admonished Judge Mes |l<ill 'TWelI I just''-but further argu- lment on his part was cut short Prosecutor Scores McMahon. The prosecutor said McMahon doubtless mistakes the law and thinks lit is all right to stand people in the rear of the theater but the irdinance states no one should stand there and statutes say the place shall not be crowded. "The trouble with McMa- hon is that he will not obey the in structions of the authorities" de- clared Prosecutor Klett. He denied any spirit of spite as prompting the prosecution and said the object of this law is to protect the people from possible calamity and not to crowd the theater so as to get every nickel' | In conclusion he criticised Nc cMahon'

Defendant Leaves Room

Leaves Room.
 Lawyer Mink apoIogized for the somewhat haphaZard manner his case had been presented and said it was because he had been embarrassed by changing of the complaints. While he was pleading, his client left the room. Prosecutor Klett at once ob- Jected to his continuing until McMa- hon returned, as the law provides a technlcallty that the accused shall be present during all his trial Officer Frank English was sent down to bring McMahOn back, but he returned alone and explained that the theater man was using the telephone. Well, tell him to come back here :" said the prosecutor.
 II did, helplessly replied the off, Ger.
 Following an embarrassed silence Judge Meskill finally ordered Lawyer Mink to get his client and he had 10 leave the room to have him come back in order that he might proceed with the case. In answering Prose cutor Klett, Lawyer Mink made a statement to the effect that the oop- ularity of the movies is the reason
 the theater was overcrowded." This statement was picked up by Prosecu- tor Klett in rebuttal and he made capital of it, declaring that if the de- fense thought that way he heartily agreed with him.
