If “a direotor” and "a volunteer
fireman” have been correotly quoted
by the Herald they either desire to
maliciously misrepresent facta or they
have been falsely Informed Ths day
after the fire at Keteieen A Degeteo’e
the Times reporter passed tbs city h-1
where paid m*n were busy 0 eeulng
the hose. The reporter Informed
them that he had just left Mr. Max
Weber whr said he was going to re-
member them In a enbstantlal manner
Several of th* men replied: “Yes, he
will give his money to the depar men'
and we who are palled out of bed to
risk oar neoks end then wo k two days
olesnlng the mnd ont of the hose wul
get nothing for onr work ” The
expression was published in the Times
end was read by Mr. Weber wbo told
the reporter that he deetr*d to give
the boys who had to do the work some
thing, and later Mr. Weber oalled at
the department headquarters and
talked with ti me of the paid men on
the snbjeot. Two days before Christ-
mas the fire boys atked the reporter If
Mr. Weber had not forgrtten them
The reporter knowing that Mr. Weber
really wanted to give tb* boys some-
thing repeated to him the query they
had pat to the reper er. He ask d
how many paid men, oonntlng L*w
Gasser, were at headquarters end was
told there were seven or eight. Mr
Weber then asked the reporter if he
wonld give the money to the men for
him (Mr. Weber) and the reporter
agreed to do so, Mr, Weber at the time
emphasizing the fact tbat he wanted
Law Gasser to get his share of It.
Next day Mr. Weber sent to the Times
offloe, by hts seoretary, Mr. Bernes,$80
la gold and the reporter gave Mr
Barnes a personal rsoelpt for It and
taking the money dtreot to the city
ball gave every dollar of It to 'he b>ys
In the prefisno* of City Clerk K tohen
To the best of hts ablll'y the reporter
placed the money as dlreo'ed; and any
Intimation that he receipted for th*
money In the name of the departmen'
or did any scheming to prevent It from
going to the department Is a malicious
libel unworthy of any honest min.
If the Times reporter tud known
that he was to be made a target fer the
elanderoue Insinuations and cowardly
innuendos of a lot of anonymous In-
terviewers he would have politely de-
clined Mr. Weber’s request to hand
the money to'he men. And It seems
that ths men wuom the repor.er went
ont ot his way to try end servj have
not bad the manliness to come to th*
front and deny these slanderous In
nnendoe. Tb* firemen know that
the reporter when ask*d to aco*p: a
present from 'hem, positively refused
to do so. But la'e Christmas eve,
while tha reporter with two friends,
w*r* eating lunoh In the Cate saloon,
Mr. Phil Young oame to the table
and eald: "This Is my Christmas gift,
and don't open It until tomorrow.’’
The reporter aooepted It as a gift from
Mr. Youog and when he did open the
envelop* he found a ten dollar bill In
It end Christmas night learned from
Mr. Yonng himself that tb* bill was a
present from the boys of the paid de-
partment.
Mr. Dan MoCarthey, who was taklog
lunch with th* reporter when Poll
Young made the presen', o*n testify
to tha correctness of this statement,
for be, Ilk* the reporter, never doub
«d for a moment tbat bat whatever
ch* envelope contained was a present
from Mr Young. If any fireman h«d
ever atk*d the reporter If the paid
Ooye had made him a present he would
have received a very prompt answer In
'he efflmeltve. There was no oooaslon
for mys'eiy. It seens ’h»t the anlmns
>.f'hl« fight oan be located among a
few who want to belong to the paid
department.
