HARBOR PRECINCT POLICE AGOG
OVER CUSPIDORS AND CHEWING
Janitor Leaves as Appropriation Fails and
Performance on Duties Brings Near
Mutiny on River.

basins. Sheer need for sanitation pro.
vided hands for these duties.
But when it came to cuspidors, a
question Of another hue was pre-
sented. ~.
Those brethren Of the blue coat who
list among their pleasures of life the
chewing of tobacco which others pre-
fer to smoke, discovered a singular
unwillingness on the part of the latter
to facilitate their pleasures.
To say that there was an argument
presented would be to put things
rather mildly.
The tobacco chewers called to sup
port their proposition the fact that
the Fire Department, presented in
stances where, in fire houses without
janitors, the firemen detailed to the
tasks did not fail.
Rather unmistakable words greeted
this thesis. Some Of the non-chewers
fatty said that their oath of office
included policing Of the city and not
policing of spittoons. And they made
it clear that the latter policing did not
come within their purview of duty.
The non.chewers summed it all up
by denouncing cuspidors as luxury
and not a necessity.
Thus, the situation came up to
Lieut.. Lohman.
Today tobacco chewers at the har-
Dor precinct, when they desire to par
