| oun TO PROSECUTE WACISTRATES, Health Department Purposes Invoking Grand Jury to Deal, with Those Who Dismiss) Smoke-Nuisance Cases. s who deliberately dismiss ce cases in which the evi- Gence against the defendant is conclusive are guilty of malfeasance in office and @hould be prosecuted. We are now en- 6*ged in preparing evidence agalnst euch magistrates, and they may soon find themselves explaining their conduct be- fore the Grand Jury.” ‘This declaration was made to-day by Dr. Walter Bensell, Assistant Sanitary Buperintendent of Manhattan. Dr. Ben- gell was warm when he made it. His heated condition wasn't due to the weather, however, but was caused by & mass of documents before him explaining why numerous silegea violawrs o: (ne gmoke ordinance had been dismissed. “Here,” suid the assistant sanitary uperintendent, picking up one of ine focumen.s, “is a case in which Mag.s- trate Breen dismissed Frederick WW. Hogan, of the Cameron Pump Works, because he maintained that we should ave arrested the engineer or fireman of phe plant ‘and not the superintendent. Hefe is anotner case in which Clayion E. Hackeit, of the New York Fat Meli- Ps Company, was releascd by Magis- te Barlow under a similar ruling. “Now, way on earth should the Health Department arrest the engineer of a big plant tor doing what he is ordered to do? Tne head of that plant ia responsible for the smoke {t creates, not tne engineer. simply take advantage of a sickly lliue tecanicality in order to release vidlatois of the law. “T have here the evidence in a case which was heard by Magisirate Flam- mer. The chief engineer of the ia.son Company had veen arrested for allow- ing the smoke ordinance to be v.0- lated. We took him in custody be- cause he was in charge of the plant. ; Magistrate Figmmer dismissed him be- cause he said the fireman should have arresied. Then we arrested the fireman, just to see how the case wouid raigned the Magistrate because he sald the evi wufficient. He said we ve that soot had been dripp.ng on e clozhing of persons in the neigh- Dorhood of the plant. I suppose It will be our duty hereatter to seize men with , soot on their coais and hoid them for evidence. ‘ “It wasn't long ago that Magistrate Flemmer dismissed a violator of ths Jaw because he said the defendant had een burning shavings and sawdust, and not coal, Tne Magietrate thought that the simoke law cou.d not be violated un- soft coal were the fuel used. “We are getting sick and tired of such jecisions. They hamper us In our work. ‘or some mysterious reazon the Magis- trates do not seem to be In eympathy with us, Tney discharge men on grounds of personal friendship and laugh at the bealth officials.” To-day the Sanitary Superintendent (hese Aiagir.a.es| ticket sent to him by mail.

Board Passes a Resolution Pro- viding for Official Emblems to Cost $50 Each at the City’s Expense, Unless the Board of Estimate inter- feres members of the Board of Alder- men are to have gold badges—emblems of clyic pride and official designation— each to cost $0, and the city will pay the bill. The badges are to be sult- ably engraved with the coat of arms of New York City. It was the custom in years past for the Aldermen to wear badgea which accorded them privileges such as at- tendance at fires, free tickets at tho theatres and circus and {mmunity at thnes from arrest. The Ailermen have provided for the revival of the custom by passing the necessary resolution. But will the Board of Estimate and Apportionment tolerate such an expen- Giture? Fifty dollar badges for elghty Aldermen would mean an expense which might cause the Comptroller to pro- test. Once upon a time when a similar resolution was being discussed in the boari one of the members asked: “Why do we need gold badges?” ‘py ‘hock’ ‘em,’ trrevcrently anawored a fellow member, who kept a butter and @gy emporium in Third avenue. Mare enough, when the badges were presented the buttor man's badge was pi-fered one day, pawned for $5 and the the same badge was fiched y ed and the ticket returned. It was not uuttl he had made the third trip to, “Di uncle's" that the Alderman dleoovere: the perpetrators in the .dentity of two of his fellows, who sought revengé, for that Irreverent temark, “hock ‘ent.
