Several loads of copper, the remains Of approximately twenty stills confiscated by the city police during the past eighteen months or more, were removed Wednesday afternoon from the basement of the Municipal building, Third and Adams street, via a rear entrance facing on Mechanic street. The material was hauled away by local junk dealers. The mayor expressed himself as being well pleased with the attitude of the police toward the new orders that have gone out. "I am satisfied they will deliver the goods. I know they can and that is their only salvation anyway.

I propose to see that the town is properly cleaned up and that it stays cleaned up. The superintendent has his instructions from me and the men have their instructions from him. Now we'll see what the result is going to be," Mayor Pfeifle said. Superintendent Trafford was equally optimistic. He was too busy to have much-to say but admitted he was very much gratified over the result of the first day of the new regime.

The day was largely consumed in taking over the routine of the superintendent's office from former Superintendent Halteman, who was on hand to assist in checking up the men's pay roll and others of the numerous details of the office. LEHIGH PROFESSOR Instructed by Mayor Robert Pfeifle to clean up the city of Bethlehem, the men on the various beats have been busy since Monday making a note of the questionable places and the reports handed in to Superintendent Fred T. iTrafford are rather voluminous, Book makers who have been laying bets on the ponies have all closed up shoD, slot machines and punch boards have all disappeared, inmates of the houses of ill repute are departing, so that by 6 p. m. tonight the zero hour when all places are to cease operations, it is expected that lights will be low and customers absent.

Most all of the officers have turned in uplawf ul places that exist on their beats, one report carrying thirty-eight addresses. One thing is evident, the officers are taking it upon themselves to report them, as they realize they will have the full support of the administration. Report after report showed long lists of numbers and it soon became apparent that most all of the numbers returned were those of small stores whose business was more or less of a blind for the providing of moonshine liquor to their clientele. It as also evident that more than one hot dog stand will be out of business since the removal of the slot machines. Many of these so called light lunch places have been using the hot dog busi PERIOD UNDER WAY Bethlehem Policemen Get First Hearth Program Under 0 Instructor With Fred T.

Mayor Pfeifle, Superintendent Trafford and Sergt. Thomals J. Lavin, of the Lehigh University R.

O. T. who was elected physical director for the police department were on hand, the latter being in charge of the drilling. Mayor Pfeifle was agreeably surprised at the way Sergt. Michael Ryan, one of the biggest men on the force, and also one of the oldest in point of serv-ive, went through the leg movements, body bends, arm exercises and other stunts with the agility of a youngster, and won the personal commendation of His Honor, who said: "By George, Sergeant, you surprise me.

You certainly are limber for such a big man." Not only Is "Mike" a big man but he has been a policeman for thirty-two years. The new regulations, call for daily physical exercises for each shift.

Open Evenings for News Reports Phone Items to 2038 JACOB RAUe HEADS The reorganization meeting of the Nazareth town council Monday evening was a busy one and started with the swearing in of Joseph H. Fulmer as chief burgess, the retiring burgess Robert F. Ziegler administering the oath of office.

The newly elected members of council were then sworn in. They are John Kern, Calvin Hartzell, Leon Heyer and Milton Lindemoyer. Mr. Heyer is the only new member of council, the others having been reelected in November. Chief Burgess Fulmer presided at the opening of the meeting, until Calvin Hartzell was reelected president of the councilmanic body.

He then assumed the chair and the following officers were elected: Secretary, Clarence F. Fennel; treasurer. Winner Heyer: policemen, Charles Stuber, Charles Nicholas and Clarence Rissmiller. Chester Smoyer was also an applicant for a place on the police but the three old men were reelected. ADDlications for appointment as special police were received from William Mabus and Stanley Kemmerer.

Kemmerer was elected for the reason that he is now employed on the highway department of the town. The council decided to divorce the positions of supervisor and health officer, which had previously been held by Morris Frable. He was reelected as supervisor and the board of health will nominate its own man for health officer. The president of council reappointed the old board of health, consisting of A. J.

Starner, Valentine Smith, Charles G. Reese, Asher Brown and Dr. J. A. Fraunfelder.

One application for health officer, received by council from Frank Rash, will be turned over to this board. Eugene Uhler was reelected borough engineer and H. D. Kutz was reelected solicitor. There were two other applicants for the position of solicitor, T.

Fred Woodley, of Bangor and Francis H. S. Ede, of Pen Argyl. Mr. Woodley received the vote of councilman Butz for this position, all the others voting for Mr.

Kutz. Council confirmed the action of the Vigilance Hose company in electing Charles Stuber chief of the fire department and Clarence Rissmiller assistant chief and foreman of hose. Councilman Lindemoyer reported on his conference with the officers of the Nazareth Sewerage company and the contractors doing the excavating work for laying new pipes. He reported that they had promised one hundred per cent, cooperation with the borough In its requirements in the future. Solicitor Kutz addressed council, outlining his connection with the enforcement of the billboard ordinance, and the trouble experienced with the Beacon Advertising Corporation, now pending before Justice of the Peace J.

S. Fry at Nazareth. He outlined the future action required by the ordinance in such matters. Burgess Fulmer spoke to council on a matter, which he said he was sorry had to be brought up the strike at the Kremer hosiery mill. He said that he wanted to know what policy if any, council had in regard to handling disorders, and he asked whether council wanted these disorders abated or if they wanted to let them go on.

He said that a delegation of strikers had called on him during the day and told him they believed he had not been informed correctly concerning the objects of the strike. He said he told them he would do anything possible to help them get work either here or somewhere else. He commented on the effect on the business of Nazareth caused by the strike. He said that the way they have been conducting themselves is a disgrace to the town. Mr.

Butz. chairman of the police committee said that he believed the police can handle the situation and. also said that the sheriff was in charge to keep them quiet. Solicitor Kutz made a brief speech in which he thanked the members of council for their consideration in reelecting him and expressed his appreciation of the cooperation he had secured from the old council and the retiring burgess. He spoke in especially high terms of the work of the secretary, Clarence F.

Fehnel, with whom he has been working for the past 17 years in their relative capacities. He has shown a fine spirit of cooperation and his knowledge of borough law is greater than that of many of the younger attorneys. He said that it was very gratifying to him to see council Increase Mr. Fennel's salary at the meeting last evening. The resignation of Stanley Hangen as a member of council was received and accepted and his successor will probably be named at an adjourned meeting of council to be held Wednesday evening.

The bond of the treasurer was fixed at $25,000. i Salaries for the year was fixed as follows: Secretary, $50 per month; I treasurer, $25 per month; three police- men, $150 per month each; $160 per month. The question of disposition of the bonds for which no bids were received at a recent special meeting, will probably be decided on Wednesday evening. An offer has been received from a Philadelphia banking house to buy them over the counter. School Board The greater part of the- time of the school board meeting at Nazareth was taken up with a discussion of the proposed addition to the high school building.

The Dians for this building have been completed and have been sent to the state department at Harrisburg for approval. If this is granted, bids will be asked and work will be started as soon as possible. The plans as now prepared provide for the equivalent of about ten class rooms including a lunch room, domestic science room. Manual training room and storage space. Although nothing is known definitely about the cost, it is estimated that it will be approximately $140,000 to $150,000.

William M. Bennett was seated as a member of the board last evening, until the next municipal election. This action was necessary because of a mix-up at the last election. The terms of Walter Kern and William M. Bennett had expired.

One was to have filed a petition for election for the four-year term and the other for a six-year term. There was some confusion, and both filed for the six-year term. This made them opponents ln-adverently at the general election and Mr. Kern won out, leaving no one for tha four-year term. The board then elected Mr.

Bennet to this vacancy. The remainder of the meeting was devoted to routine business only. When a man tells you all his troubles he becomes one of yours. GoariDteei Remedy This oflc rrnmertv eoraes Is tnb with Pil PfrM stiMBinaat. tnmkin ft cMTtrtient mnd uy to apply.

Grollman had been arrested, the witnesses said, over some trouble with a woman. Grollman claimed he knew nothing of the offense with which he was charged and demanded an explanation of the cause of his arrest, refusing to go to a cell after claiming he did not have $12.50 to post as bail for a hearing. The blow was alleged to have been struck by Connors after Grollman refused to be lead to a cell. At the first portion of the hearing, Patrolman Connors testified that he accidentally struck Grollman as he was about to grasp him by the collar.

The witnesses yesterday refuted that portion of the testimony. Sergeant Rum-field, on desk duty, before whom the attack is said to have been made said at the first hearing that he was busy with his work and did not see the blow struck.

Hizzoner asked the one boy how many sandwishes he could eat and he replied "a barrelu full." The next urchin said "three or four," so he decided to make it five for each, twenty sandwiches all told, and with it came four quarts of coffee from Phil's Lunch with the compliments of the mayor. "That's some mayor," said the older of the quartet, "he has a heart as big as himself." There will be no fines for minor drunkenness charges either under the administration that assumed the reins on Monday. When a prisoner was haled to the lockup Tuesday night under the influence, Mayor Pfeifle issued or ders that it was O.
