GASOLINE JAG INQUIRY FACTOR Caused Tester to Give His Company's Sample Longer Time, Is Testimony. DIRECTOR IS CRITICIZED That a- gasoline jag is a reality and neither, a fancy nor an empty figurative expression was testified to before council yesterday In the hearing of the complaint of the Gutta Percha Rubber Company against the manner in which Director Howard B. Oursler. of he department of supplies, had awarded a contract for fire hose. Engineers and testified that inhaling the fume of gasoline in the testing of rubber hose would produce a mild Jag of th dissy.

whirling type and that In a number of Instances in the particular tests referred to the operators had to leave the room to pre vent being Intoxicated by the fumes. Several members of council, especially Robert Garland, who acted as chairman, criticised the action of the director In allowing his chief clerk. John Lang, to go on a vacation th night before such an important hearing- Mr. Zhang's testimony was desired in connection with a tele phone conversation to which he had been party and which pertained to the contract. No action was taken.

On April 14 there was made a test of sample submitted by a number of hoe manufacturer who were bidding on a contract for 9,000 feet of two-inch street hose. According to the complaint. the test wa made by a representative of the Goodrich Rubber Company, of New York, which made the hose that was submitted by the Speck-Marshall Company, of Pittsburgh. LONGER TIME FOR ONE. It was asserted that after the rubber tube was separated from the fabric surrounding it by gasoline that the aample of the Gutta Percha Company's hose was at onoe put In the testing machine.

When the test was made for the Goodrich hose the operator said he had a gasoline Jag and had to retire after th rubber tube was taken from the gasoline. Before he recovered the piece of tubing was in th machine and there was an interval of 10 minutes. During this tlm th Goodrich sample had a chance to dry and as a consequence stood a better test than the first sample and the Goodrich hose was accepted. P. H.

Maguir appeared before th committee -as the attorney for the com-, plaining company. Director Oursler was not 'represented by counsel, although had asked last week that the hearing be postponed so he would have a chance to be represented. Mayor William A. Ma-gee, who was present at the hearing, told the committee that he had advised Director Oursler not to have an attorney. B.

B. King, of the complaining company said he had not been present at ths test because he waa unable to find out when the test waa to be made. He recited a telephone conversation he had with the chief clerk In th department of supplies, in which he alleged he was told no date had been set. When Mr. Lang, the clerk, waa asked for by Chairman Robert Garland, of the committee.

Director Oursler said Iang had left Tuesday night on his annual vacation. When Garland aaked Oursler if he did not know Lang would be wanted, Oursler replied that he did not want him as a witness, and if the other side wanted him they should have notified him. King testified that he had asked Oursler for a re-testing of the hese. because he thought he did not have a square deal, and this had been denied him, Oursler telling him that he had been treated fairly, SAY 8AMPLE DRIED. T.

It. Kerln. of the Empire Hose Rubber Company, was present at the test and testified to the gasoline jag which had affected the operator and the time that had elapsed while he was waiting to recover from it. L. H.

Irwin, representing the Republic Rubber Company, also testified as to the jag and that the Goodrich sample had been let dry for some little time before it had been placed in th machine. Irwin said he had never seen a test'- made before in whicb the work wa done by a representative of one of the competing companies. A. B. Patterson, representing the New York Belting ft Packing Company, testified in the same vein.

J. F. Joseph, factory manager for the mechanical rubber department of the Goodrich Company, in Akron, Ohio, said he had made the tests in question. He said he had been overcome bv the fumes from the gasoline tank and had to leave the room, but that he had mad no difference In the treatment of the sample submitted to him for testing.
