FAWCETT and

ACCUSATIONS

Sensational charges made
public by Commissioner Pet
tit Thursday regarding the
conduct OF A. Il. Fawcett, son
Of the mayor and superin-
tendent Of the city c0ntagiOn
hospital, I'm relation to w0m-
en- patients, were promptly
followed by equally sensation
al charges against Petit by
Mayor Fawcctt.
Pettit's charges were In the
form Of affidavits by former pa
tients, who declared that the may
or's son had not only attempted
improper relations with one OF the
patients, but declared that tho
hospital food and care Of patients
was deplorable.
The mayors charge, made after
he had heard about the affidavits,
was that a raiding party of police
men had recently found Commits
sioner Petit in room Of a down.
town hotel in compromising po-
sition and that Petit had admit
ted to him the truth OF the re-

Of a clear sky Thursday morning
following brief tiff In the council

against Pettit's plan to reduce the

Fawcett charged that Petit had

rolls at the first of the year and
that he could increase salaries
without interfering with the eff

A wordy argument ensued,

Pitched battles between gigantic fleets OF Amer
loan and allied airmen on tho one hand and
German fighting fliers on the other are definitely
predicted for the coming summer In special ad-
vices received today by The Times from WASH
ington.
It 10 this expected development in aerial tao
tics that has caused the government to COM
mandeer Washington spruce and decree the long
contested eight-hour day in the logging camps.
Alan r. Hawley president of the Aero Club
of America, in an interview with Times cQr-
respondent in the east, says:
I'VE have excellent reason for believing that
the Germans have all winter been preparing to
send against the allies large air fleets Of aviators
who will fly In formation, and maneuver as
single body. It will be absolutely necessary for
the allies to send forth large squadrons to meet
them.
