caved in.
Mr. Hubbell was at his desk about
10:16 when a member of the repor-

entered the ofllce to obtain a. list. of
the building permits issued this

While looking over the permits,
the reporter called the attention of
Mr. Hubbcll to one and Mr. Hubbell
left his- chair at his desk to confer
ultn the reporter.
Mr. Hubbcll had just left the chair
when the plaster crashed to the iioor
and a large portion of it landing in.
the chair where Mr. Hubbell had
been sitting.
It is certain that if Mr. Hubbell
had not left the chair when he did,
that he would have beenseriously
injured by the failing plaster. which
was very heavy and fell to the chair
and floor with a loud crash. that
could be heard throughout the City

NEW PUZZLE IN
CASE. 10 0031
FRANK MERRILL
Records S h o'w H i 5
Term As Superinten-
dent of Charities Ex-
pired Sept. 1
Matters became more complicated
today in‘the action brought by Cor-
poration Counsel Cuneo in behalf of
former Mayor Calvin L. Barton.
asking for the removal of suit H.
Merrill from the office of Superin-
tendent of Charities. when it was
lemncd that the term of office of
Mr. Merrill had expired on Septem-
ber 1.. '
According to the information re-
ceived by the Evening Sentinel this
morning. when Mr. Merrill was vot-
ed into the office of Superintendent
of Charities t the much discussed
uneeting of the Board of Charities.
he was only appointed for a term of
one year. which was to expire on
September 1. 1924.
Since that date Mr. Merrill has
not been acting as so called Superin-
tendant of Charities. He is still a
member of the Board of Charities to
which office he was appointed by
the present administration and from
which he has never been asked to
resign. but relinquished the Super-
intendent of Charities office on
September 1.
The question that seems to be
puzzling those interested in City at»
fairs this morning. is how is Mr.
Merrill going to be removed from an
office that he does not hold and
whcih he did not hold at the time
the action asking for his lemoval
was filed in the Superior Court.
It is not knowu just what action
will be taken by the Superior Court
when the case comes up there at the
next term I} whether the case will
be withdrawn before that time.
