Fourteen Men Arrested and Ar- - " raigned for Spftting on Floors of Conveyances. REPUBLIC SPECIAL. New York, April 1 It was no April-fo- ol Jest when the Board of Health announced recently that, beginning with the current month, the law against spitting on the .floor of public conveyances would be rigorously enforced. More than a score of offenders learned this to their sorrow before .noon on Tuesday in Manhattan alone, while out- ers in Brooklyn reached their ' offices late on this" side of the river, after delay1 due. to arraignment before a Magistrate. There were 180 lynx-eye- d policemen of the sanitary squad out looking for the man-wh- expectorates promiscuously. Business men. clerks and laborers alike were gath- ered up In the sweeping dragnet of sanitary reform. As the policemen were, not always In uniform, some of the offenders made tn? the "quiet littlai maw' wW sat? opposite and iahViiy called their attention to the sign screwed '.between the'-ca- windows. .. ' 'Fourteen offenders! all told, were taken inT Some were lined, some held for trial and some discharged. The crusade will be kept up until the habit disappears. NOT AFRAID OF A CONTEST. ' Mayor-Ele- ct Young of Webster Has Paid His Taxes. The friends of Mayor-ele- ct Thoma C. Young of Webster Groves are not alarmed by the threat of- - certain supporters of Fleming, his opponent, to contest his elec- tion .on the ground that he is disqualified by having failed to pay his taxes. At the la3t moment it was discovered that Mr. Young had not paid his real estate tax, being ignorant of the provision of the law that taxes must be paid before a man Is eligible to hold office. Mr.- - Young paid the tax immediately on being informed of the ground for getting his. check into the hands of Collector Farrington at 9 p. m. Tuesday. Mr. Young received a letter from the Col- lector a week ago stating that he would be Ineligible to the mayoralty unless his per- sonal tax were paid. There was no mention of the real estate taxes. Mr. Young sent a check for his personal tax and thought nothing more of the matter. His friends have' consulted an attorney, who gave the onlnlon that under the circumstances, .where Mr. Young's living up to the spirit ot the law was ooviou3, ana poin taxes uny paiu as. soon as he was Informed,- nothing could come of a contest but defeat for Fleming.
