Spitter Held for Trial.
Henry Nearman of 240 West 114th
street, who was summoned to the West
Side police court yesterday by Henry
Ilardon, formerly an instructor in Co
lumbia university, but now a lawyer
with offices at 5G Wall Btreet, was held
in $100 bail for trial in the Court of
Special Sessions for spitting on the floor
of a Ninth avenue elevated car Magis
trate Hogan paroled Nearman until
Monday, when he must give bail.
Mr. Hardon in his complaint said that
a week ago last night, on a Ninth ave
nue elevated train at Forty-second
street Nearman was spitting on the car
floor, and when he threatened him with
arrest, Nearman not only dehed bim,
but, repeated the offense.
After the case had been disposed of
Mr, Hardon said that since the occur
rence had been made public he had re
ceived a large number of letters on the
subject. He exhibited one of them,
which was written by Eastman John
eon, the artist. It was as follows:
"I wish as one of the thousands of
others to thank you for your public
spirit in the interest of common decency
in your action in the matter of the vile
spitter in the public cars. I trust you
will have the support of enough citizens
who are of jour way of thinking to bring
this matter to such a conclusion as will
have the desired effect with regard to
this public outrage."
Mr. Hardon declared that the practice
of expectorating in public places was the
great American vice and that he would
do what was in his power to abate it.

There is no bunch ,
however watched and tended ,
But one haldhead is there ;
No flock of men
howsoever defended
But some have lost their hair.
The heights of great men
reached and kept
Were not attended
by drinking booze ,
For those who swig
must be content
Down in the slums
to stay and snooze .
