RESIGNATION IS DEMANDED IN AID ‘SCANDAL' County Commissioners Say Herr’s Grocery Deals Are Illegal. Resignation of George Herr, Lawrence township advisory board member, charged with selling poor relief supplies to his township, was demanded today by county commissioners. Commissioners refused to sign vouchers for supplies, payable to Herr, and filed Sept. 18 by Henry T. Van Cleave, Lawrence township trustee. Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson recently stated his office would investigate charges that Herr has been designating the prices of supplies he has sold, in violation of the statute prohibiting an office holder from furnishing materials to the unit he represents. Sons Operate Grocery Van Cleave asked commissioners to honor vouchers for $38.23 worth of supplies. Van Cleave put his “O. K.” on the vouchers. However, he told commissioners that “Herr is not selling supplies to the township now.” Herr is allegd to town a grocery In Castleton, which his sons operate. The vouchers were made to Herr & Sons. “We will not sign them as long as they are made out to Herr and Sons, for that is a clear violation of the law,” both George Snider and Dow Vorhies, commissioners, declared. Sign Plummer Claims They signed claims payable to John T. Plummer, who it is said Is a brother of Carl Plummer, another Lawrence advisory board member. “That is patronage and looks bad, but there is nothing that I find illegal in Plummer’s claim,” Snider stated. Vorhies emphatically stated: “Herr ought to resign immediately.” “Yes, I think he ought to hand in his resignation and help clear up that unsatisfactory situation out in Lawrence township,” Snider said.

GANGSTER ‘GOES WRONG’ Gotham Mobster Walks Into Death Trap Set by Blond. />'n United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—Because he was inexperienced as a gang leader, Benny Meyerson had not learned that it is a very bad idea to go walking with strange blonds, and Benny’s friends agreed today that he must have been very simple indeed. Benny tried to sit on the throne occupied by the late Meyer Shapiron of east New York and succeeded for two nights. On the third, he accepted a telephone invitation from a girl, and met her at Pitkin avenue, Brooklyn. A car approached the couple, two men jumped from it and fired two shots through Meyerson’s head, leaving him dead on the sidewalk. The girl disappeared in the crowd. $3,000 JOB IS OPEN Examination for City Combustion Engineer Set for Friday.
