Indications that a more businesslike
administration of municipal affairs can
be expected from Councils during tho
closing years of thn Smith term wero
not lacking In the address of Dr. lid
ward H. Gleason. who today- ontercd
iiribii hl"J socond term as president of
tho lower branch of Council". In serv
ing notlco on new and old members of
the body that tho public would hold thein
responsible, tho president by inference
suggested that the first two years of this
Administration had not been entirely
satisfactory to 'tho lax-paving public.
Will ctery evldenco of sincerity Doctor
Gleason near the close of his Inaugural
I address said; "It will be my ondeaor
during the next two e.irs so to con
duct Hid business of Councils that the
confidence pf tho citizens will bo upheld
and tho public satisfied that Its Interests
aro being conserved,"
This statement followed a lengthy
resume of great municipal Improvements
started or yet to be started, and a de
mand that -public matters bo threshed
out on tho floor of Councils by men
sworn to perform their duty rather than
by appeals to the public through tho
papers and outside agitations.
Chief Clerk William II Fclton, ac
cording to time-honored custom, called
Common Council to order and asked for
nominations for president. The name of
Doctor Uleason was presented und he
was re-elected by acclamation. Tho

Baltz, said lo bt a large stockholder In
the J. & p. Haiti lire-wing Company,
waa placed on trial today In tho United
Stales District Court- Ills counsel Is
Congressman J. It. K. Scott.
When Ualtz was called for cxamlna
Hon by District Hoard No 32, Over
brook, It Is said that he was told an ex.
amlnntlon would be useless because of
his assertion that he had curvature uf
tho spine. He was permitted to go but
wis later called back and given a phys- i
leal examination. The examining phy. I
slclan stated that the curvature was not
serious enough lo bar him from the
army. He was accepted.
This resulted In iwo appeals being
taken from, Baltz, on0 by himself and
tho other by his wife. Under the law.
Baltx's claim fevr exemption had to be
supported by one! affidavit, and that of
his wife by two. According to informa.
Hon obtained by .Assistant, united
States. District Attorney Sterrett, these
threo supporting statements were not
actually sworn to, although they, carried
a notary's teal. Further Investigation,
It Is said, has produced statements from
the affiants to the effect that they had
never sworn to anythl'v and that they
had merely signed their names 'at the
request ot Baltz.
District Board No. 32 has placed
Baltx's case In the hands of the Dis
trict Attorney's office for action, charg
ing him with falsely swearing that h,s
wife and children were totally depend
ent upon him. Baltx Is now subject to
another call, through the questionnaire
sent out by the Joc-a! bwird.. His
answers to this have resulted In hi
