Declares He Didn't Originate
Settlement Scheme; Says
Simmons and Turney Did.
MAYOR OPPOSES
PLAN ARDENTLY
Alderman Percy McGhec, in the meet
ing of. the city council Thursday, vig
orously denied responsibility for tho
plan to settle with the water company
for the purchase of the plant by paying
it ?300,000 cash and giving a note for
150,000.
The plan was published In the morn
ing paper Wednesday as a supposed
communication, unsigned, and stated
,that this was Mr. McGhee's plan for
settling the affair. Today, an inspired
editorial vigorously commended Mr. Mc
Ghee. But Mr. McGhee refuses to be
commended. He says the plan was
evolve1 by general manager H. J. Sim
mons, of the water company, and his
attorney, W. W. Turney, who asked him
Into conference and urged him to pre

That the plan does not suit the may
or, he did not hesitate to say to the
council.
"Yes, a nice proposition, that is," he
exclaimed angrily. "The company
comes and tries to interline the sense
of the whole council. Give them all
the money we've got? Yes. of course
we will! That'll be a nice scheme,
won't it?"
Alderman McGhee hastened to say
that It was all a misapprehension.
"I want to state that at their request
I met Messrs. Simmons and Turney, at
which time this matter was broached,"
he sai3. "It was brought- up by Mr. Tur
ney and we discussed it. They request

Many Deaths in Lower End
of the City Dr. Anderson
Condemns Many Homes.
FINDS THEM UNFIT
TO HARBOR PEOPLE
Numerous deaths in the south end
of the city the past few weeks, mostly
among Mexicans, has caused the health
department to begin an Investigation
of the district, and, from the report
presented by health officer Anderson to
the council Thursday morning, such an
unsanitary condition exists that the
J council will shortly take some remedial
acton.
"The health -department commenced
its investigations the first of the
month," said Dr. Anderson. VWe have
gone over a portioti of the houses and
the figures speak for themselves as to
what was found. It is our Intention
when we get through, to make some
' recommendations to the council."
In the Jower end of town, the por
tion being investigated, there have
been on an average of 20 deaths a
week for several weeks, with an in
crease, if anything, as time wore on. A
number of Infants died, but the mnjor
itj were grown people. In the week
ending Thursday, July 7, there were
just a score of Mexican deaths, all in
the portion of town south of the busi
ness center. One negro also died in
the district.
The number of deaths led the health
department to determine to ascertain
the cause of this mortuary list every
week, so much greater than the per
centage of births. As a result of the
special inspection, it was foumi that
there are just 72 dwellings that are
inhabitable today out of a total of 205
Inspected, these buildings being found
to have proper ventilation, etc. Just
133 were declared uninhabitable by
reason of not having sufficient doors,
windows and other means of admit
ting air to the interior, and being stuffj
and ill-smelling. Some of them, also,
had entrances tis though one was going
into a cellar to get to the living rooms.
These are also branded as unhealthy
Most of the structures are of adobe,
very few of wood or cement
Thirty homes were found to be clean
and sanitary, while 175 were reported
in an unsanitarv condition, some of
them filthy and diseas,e-breeding places
as a consequence. In all this district,
but fifteen places have sewer connec
tions out of 205. It is probable that
the council will decide upon a "clean
up" and betterment of conditions of
this section soon.

Bn.ixe Not a Johnson Man.
"If a white man wants to meet a. black
man in the prize ring and gets 'licked,
why, that's his business. Anyway, the
permit you want is up to the chief of"
police."
With these words, mayor Busse
frowned on a permission to hold a wel
coming parade for Jack Johnson on his
return here today. The delegation seek
ing the permit wanted a brass band and
an escort of police. They nextj ap
pealed to chief of police Steart. j
"Nothing doing,'" remarked the chief.
"I don't think such an affair should be
dignified by an escort and a band. If
vou want to have a few automobiles at
the train ( it's all right. It is not a public
occasion."
As to the exhibition of motion pic
tures of the fight, the mayor said that
what other cities were doing, would not
influence him.
"Anyway, we'll cross the bridge when
we come to it," he added.
Langford After a Fljcht.
From Cheyenne Johnson was quoted
in a dispatch as saying that If Sam.
Langford, the Boston fighter, would
put up a side bet of $20,000, Johnson
would fight him in Cheyenne during the
great frontier celebration the latter
part of August or a month later. John
son denies this and says he going t
rest for a year.
"Just say for me that Langford hasn't
got a chance," said Johnson.
"I'm not going to fight again for one
year. I have put up five fights in rapid
succession. I believe I am entitled to
take some time before going into the
ring again.
"I am going to Europe an September
and fiH some of the numerous' contracts
I am receiving."
No Fight in Wyoming-.
Governor Bryant Brooks says, any
how, that he would not permit the
Johnson-LangCord or anjy other big
prize fight In Wyoming.
"There is no show for the fight here
j during the Cheyenne-Frontier celebra
I tion," said the governor when told of
I the plans for the Johnson-Lairgfora
match.
"Wj-ormng laws forbid it. and I wilf
see that the laws are enforced. Per
sonally I am not opposed to the sport
and would enjoy seeing he match, but
the law forbids such fights, and when I
held up my rigfcj hand and took the oath
of office, to uphold the laws, r meant
it."
Reception at Cheyenne.
For half an hour as Johnson stopped
in Cheyenne yesterday he was given
the greatest friendly demonstration he
had received since the fight. A crowd
