Cleanliness In CANNING.

The first essential for COM
plete sterilization with the use
Of either the hot-water Gamer
or the steam-pressure outfit,
says the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, Is absolute
cleanliness in surroundings and
in all utensils used in canning.
Tables should be well cleaned
and may be covered with white
oilcloth. Garbage cans must be
provided to hold peelings and
other refuse. To allow these to
fall upon the ground to decay
near the place Of canning will
result in production Of spores
which will rise In dust and in

Board of Education
To Ask $5O,OOO,OOO
In Its 1918 BUDGET

Unless there is a last-minute change
in plans, New York will be asked to
provide approximately s5o,OOoOoo for
its schoo s during the coming year.
This is about s5,5oo,00O in excess of
the. amount expended last year.
While the final schedule has not been
adopted, Arthur S. somers, president Of
the Board of Education, made public
last night the boards budget for the
forthcoming year. Members of the
ooard held a special meeting all yes
terday afternoon, making final re-
vision of the proposed schedule.
Practically the entire amount of the
increase asked for will go into sala-
ries; S3,500,000 will be asked to raise
the salary of teachers in the ele
mentary me grades while $4,000 is sought
tor increases in the pay of employees of
the headquarters of the board.
The gradual increase in the cost of
all essentials-fuel, particularly-ac-
counts for part of the increase in the
budget. The fuel appropriation has
been increased $4,000, and janitor
service in the schools is to cost S61 900
more.

Germans Hurt Allies
By Buying Up Pottery

BUFFALO, Aug. 29.-Alfred L.
Becker, Deputy Attorney General, de-
clared in speech tonight that German
money had been used extensively to
buy pottery in the United States in
order to drain the supply of picric acid
which is essential to the manufacture
of stoneware and also to the making
of detonators for exploding munition
charges.
"The Germans reasoned" said Mr..
Becker, "that if they could buy enough
pottery to stimulate the manufacture
of stoneware they would exhaust the
supply of picric acid and thus curtail
shipments Of munitions to the Allies"
between May 4, 1916. and June, 1916,
William Wilke, of Buffalo, received the
sum of Sl5,500 from the funds of the
German Embassy, said Mr.. Becker. Mr..
Wilke, recently examined by a Deputy
Attorney General, said, according to
Mr.. Becker, that he had been ap-
preached by the German American
Stoncware Company of Jersey City
and asked to become its agent for the
purchase of stoneware to be stored in
New Jersey.
Shortly after that, Wilke said, he
went to New York and there met DR..
Albert, the German "paymaster"; Wolf
Won 1gel and Captain Franz Won Papen,
former Military Attache to the German
Embassy, after which he began buying
the stoneware, which was stored in a
New Jersey warehouse Much of it is
lying there yet, Mr.. Becker said.

Servant Sues Realty
Dealer for ST, $50

Miss Hannah Anderson, a servant
represented by Solomon Hanford, of Al
W all Street, q corporation lawyer,
brought suit in the Supreme Court yes
tterday to recover $3.50 from Edward
l.. -Somerville, Brooklyn lawyer and
real estate operator.
For many years Miss Anderson was
a servant in the family of the late
James r. heene, fnancier and turfman.
Mr.. Hartford was attorney for Mr..
heene and is an executor of his will.
Miss Anderson was able 10 accumulate
few thousand dollars This she kept
in a savings bank until, she asserts.
Mr.. Somerville induced her to believe
there was a larger return for her
money in real estate. Unaccustomed
TO business affairs, Miss Anderson CON
tracted to buy two lots for 81 800. of
which she paid $3.50 down and agreed
to pay $50 every three months. For
this.it is alleged. Mr. Somerville prom
lsed her a deed. free and clear of all
encumbrances. Miss Anderson had paid
to Mr.. Somerville $3.50, she says,
when she discovered that the defend

Police Are Cleared of
Blame in Gafney Case

After absolving the police and others
from the blame for the escape Of Vim
cent GafFeny, accused of murder, the
grand jury, in a presentment handed
to the Court of General Sessions yes
terday, criticised the system of han
ding prisoners. 1t recommends a
number of changes. including more
keepers at the Tombs and raise in
their pay.
After the escape of GaFney from the
Tombs there were insinuatlons in
volvng the Police Department. The
grand jury suggests that copy Of its
presentment be sent to the Police Com
missioner "for the sake of the good
name and reputation of the Police De-
partmett of New York City"
There are only twentythree keepers
now to guard more than 600 prisoners
in the Tombs. Their pay ranges from
5000 to $1,000 year. "Under present
conditions SUCH pensation," reads
the presentm9ht, "ls not calculated to
secure the type of man needed and
Immediate steps should be taken to

magistrate and court attendants bv

Jay Finn, court clerk, denied re-

This admission was made rather re-

J. A. Hemstreet Declares
Thousands Of Gallons Are
Needlessly Used Daily
Suggests Use of r. RS.
Public in General Inclined to
Obey Request of Govern
ment to Save

An official request by the fuel ad
m nistration is equivalent to an official
order.
This was the view taken yesterday
by taxicab companies, owners of sight,
seeing cars and the public in general
of Fuel Administrator Garheld's~ re-
quest that until further notice owners
refrain from driving motor vehicles on
Sundays in order to save gasolene.
There we're some exceptions, how
ever. During the fifteen minutes from
5:45 to 6 O'Clock last night, Tribune
reporter counted 385 passenger motor
cars, including taxicabs, pass the cor
ner of Fifth Avenue and Thirty third
Street. Fifth Avenue buses were not
included in this count
In this number just seven cars ap-
peared to be loaded to capacity. The
other 378 averaged about two occu
pants, including the driver. Many were
words, motor driven vehicles were pass
ing this busy point on Fifth Avenue
at the rate of 1,540 per hour, and most
CT them appeared to be wasting gaso-
lene
]. A. Hemstreet, of the American
Automobile Association, said that
thousands of wealthy men in New
York City wasted from two to five
gallons of gasolene daily by driving
from their homes in theA suburbs to
their offices in touring cars with their
chauffeurs. The latter then dreve
home. In the afternoon, he said, the
chauffeurs drove the cars down town
again to take their employers home.
If these men used the railroads in
stead of their cars thousands of gall
Ions of gasolene could be saved daily
in New York. Mr.. Hemstreet said.
Mr.. Hemstreet was asked if the new
gasolene saving measure would not
have disastrous effect on roadhouses
and country resorts.
''fhe Fuel Administrators request to
abandon Sunday motoring means "a
gold mine to these resorts" said Mr..
Hemstreet. Thousands of motor par
ties start on Saturday afternoons.
They put up at country resorts over
night, and, complying with the Fuel Ad-
mlnlstrator's request, they will remain
over Sunday, starting again on Mon
day morning for home"
]. A. Ritchie, president of the Fifth
Avenue Coach Company, operating the
Fifth Avenue bus line, said that his
company would run it's buses next
Sunday, unless its representative in
Washington received notice that re-
classification Of the company had been
made.
In all our priority business with the
government we have been placed in

we have been classed with public util.
