CITY CHEMIST IGNORED
IN NEW MILK ORDINANCE.
Illll lnirndnccd In House liy llnlrj-
ineli Give, Poller of Inspection
Only to HI Assistants.
Delegate Mechan. by request, introduced
a new milk ordinance In the House of
Delegates last night.
Attorneys for the milkmen are said to
have been working on the bill for some
time, and the result is to secure pure milk
for the consumer and also make the in
spection conform to the convenience of
tho dealer as much as possible.
In the new bill, the control of the In
spection of the milk is placed with the
Health Commissioner. When told of this
Doctor Simon said that he already had
troubles of his own. The weekly reports
made bv Cltv Chemist Bernays to the
Board of Health, he said, had alwajs been
approved and his work was complimented.
The -resent law gives to the City Chem
ist o-d his assistants the authority to have
full access to all places where milk or
cream are kept. The new bill delegates
this power to the inspectors, but says
nothing about the chemist.
Tho question of hours is also touched
upon. In the new bill only "reasonable
hours" are designated. Doctor Bernays
has been making unexpected visits to
dairies against whose owners lie has ob
tained convictions. it.lssaid-,,!oI
Tho appointment of five additional as
sistants is also provided for in this or-d-nance.

was leady for trial in his court.
It was the case against William Lynch,

arguments. City Attorney Joyce closln,
the case. Judge Beach lined tho defendant

the afternoon he was congratulated by the
attorneys.
"It was Just as easy as sitting in m
courtroom," said Judge Beach on his re
turn from Belleville. "I heard the ques
tions put by the lawyers and then the
witnesses would get close to the telephone
so that 1 could hear the replies. It seemed
strange at first, but I had no trouble in
arriving at a just verdict."

TO ASSIST WITH DIKE.
Mayor Cook Calls n. Sleeting; for Next
Tncstlay to Dlncnn Flood
Protection.
Mayor SHa3 Cook of East St. Louis yes
terday called a meeting of the committee,
ho recently appointed to consult with the
railroads and corporations on tha dike
proposition, to bo held In his office next
Tuesday at S p. m.
The meeting will be for the purpose of
discussing the situation and mapping out
a lino of action to be taken with tho
railroads, especially to induce them to
begin work on raising their roadbeds so
as to form a dyke around tho city as
planned by City Engineer E. G. Helm.
Several of tho corporaUons.lncludlng the
National Stock Yards, havo expressed
their desire to do their share towards
the building of the dike which will. It Is
planned, protect the city from future
floods from tho Mississippi River, but the
railroad companies havo as yet taken no
concerted action.
It is to get the railroads to take up the
matter lmmediatelJ that Mayor Cook has
appointed this committee of representa
tive men of TIast St. Louis.
In case the railroads do not agree to
the plans as prepared by Engineer Helm
or a modification of them, so that the
city will be entirelj- protected. Mayor
Cook will call a special election so that
tho city can be formed into a drainage
district and then the railroads can bo
compelled by ordinance to do the work
which is desired by the city officials.
The plan which has been printed in
detail in The Republic is for the raising
of tho railroad tracks about the city so
as to form a complete wall or dike, which
will keep out the flood water of the Mis
sissippi River. It is proposed by Mnyor
Cook that this work shall be completed
before the Juno rise in the Mississippi,
and it is for this reason that he is urg
ing all possible haste in getting the dike
started.
The committee, or which Mayor Cook is
the chairman, is composed of J. M, Freei.s,

WOULD APOLOGIZE TO MAN.
Mrs. Angelica's Purse Kclurned
by Woman Who Found It.
3rrs. Theresa Angellco of No. 112 North
Ninth street would like to npologize to an
unknown young man of fashionable dress
and engaging manners who assisted her
tt alight from a car Thursday.
She feels that she has slandered him In
statements that she made to tho effect
that she believed he robbed her of her
rurse.
xne raissins purse was returned to her
Tavlnr
avenue car i
Tho purse, which swung from Mrs. An
gelicas belt, contained $300 in cash and
two checks'. It wns from tho checks that
tho identity of the owner of tho purse was
discovered. Mrs. Angelica did not notice
tho loss of tho purso until after she had
alighted from tho car at Ninth and Pine
streets.
CALLS FOR GARBAGE VIEWS.
Each Member of Commission to
Give Individual Opinion.
Secretary Waller Edwards of the Board
of Public Improvements and the Sanitary
Commission has sent to each member of
tho latter a list of questions with blank
spaces for answers in regard to the Im
portant phases of the garbage question as
each member saw them on the recent
trip East.
Tho idea is to lay tho answers before the
subcommittee In order to enable them to
report to the commission next Tuesday.
This plan,, it is thought, will enable the
report to bo a series of statements to be
voted on and thus simplify matters and
do away with useless discussion by letting
each member discuss the question with
himself before ha presents his views.
MARRIED IN RECORD TIME.
Couple Procure License and Are
Wed in Seven Minute3.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
. Waterloo, 111., Nov. 6. Louis p. Kirk of
St. Louis, 61 years old, and Miss Fannie
Baker of East St. Louis, U years old,
came here from St. Louis on a noon train
and twenty-flve minutes later returned
home husband and wife. Seven minutes
after entering tho Courthouse they wero
married by Jundge -Hugo Bremser.
They procured the license In two min
utes and five minutes later the ceremony
had been performed. The couple was in
such a hurry that the Judgre broke his
record for. quick ceremonies.
Furniture Board Election.
Tho annual elecUon of officers of tha St.
Louis Furniture Board of Trade will take
plaee Monday night In the board rooms.
George B. Parker and W. H. Roscher are
candidates for president on the tickets
that will be presented. Two vice presi
dents, secretary and treasurer, as well as
eight, members of the Executive Commit
tee, are also to be elected.
CITY HALL WORK
AGAIN DELAYED.
Bids for Building's Completion
Thrown Out Because They
Are Too nigh.
The Board of Public Improvements yes
terdaj turned down the bids for the work
on the completion of the new City Hall
and the additions to the Poorhouse, which
were opened at the meeting last Tuesdaj-.
The lowest bid was $151,000 and the
amount appropriated Is only $1W,C00. When
the ordinance was drawii the architects
made a careful canvas of the cost of ma
terials and the different kinds of work,
and on these estimates the bill was sent
to the Municipal Assembly.
Now It turns out, so City Hall officials
state, that contractors, who so gladly fur
nished estimates to the commission, failed
to stand up to them when handing in
their official bids to the board.
President Phillips said that this would
necessitate advertising Tor tho bids again
and compel a reletting of the contract.
This will delay the work, which seemed
to bo progressing finely, at least a month,
and possibly longer.
The new letting is set for November 21.
HAZING MIDDIES DISMISSED.
Plebe Tormentors All First Class
men of lligli Standing.'
Captain William II. Brovvnson, superin
tendent of the Naval Academy, who
brought the record of the court-martial
to the Navj- Department this afternoon,
expects this drastic action to have a slB
nal effect in exterminating hazing at the
academj-. Tho unusual part about this
case is that the midshipmen dismissed are
all members of the first, or senior, class,
the members of which generally hold
themselves aloof from "running" tho un
der class men. The loss of tnree midship
men just about to become otlicers in the
nava. servlco will Lo keenly felt.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Nov. 6. Convicted by a
court-martial of having hazed under-class
men at the Naval Academj", Midshipmen

Henry Lofland of Iowa and Earl Worden
ennrtec or Wisconsin, were oruerea uis
missed from the service by Secretary
Moodj. Thej- will never be eligible for
rcadmia'ion to the Naval Academj, al
though their offense was mild in its ef
fect on the "piebes" who were hazed.
HANNA, GORMAN AND" BAILEY.
Probable Xcw Members of Sen
ate Finance Committee.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Nov. C Senators Hanna,
Gorman and Bailej- will probably be the

mittee will be selected to recommend mem
bers to fill vacancies. Senator Hale will

monejs In national banks. No agreement
was reached and no announcement was
made by any member as to whether or
not all hope of financial legislation had
been abandoned.

"LEX0W" COMMITTEE MAY
NOT SECURE APPROPRIATION
OMIcialK Question Authority of House
ot DelesntcN to Compel Testt-
nony on Tnx Itetnrn!. .,
Those of an inquiring turn of mind
around tho City Hall are asking where
tho monej- is to come from for the
"Lexow" Committee, recently appointed
by Speaker Gazzolo of the House ot Dele
gates, the dutj- of which is to "get the
taxdodgers."
To srend money an ordinance passed by
both th House nnd the Council and ap
proved bj the Mayor is necessary. Some
persons saj- that the Council would not
pass sucli a hill, nnd the approval or dis
approval of Major Wells Is too far in tho
future to guess nt.
Furthermore, high legal authority says
that a committee of tho House has no au
thority to call a private citizen before it
and compel testimony as to his tax re
turn. Tho .same authoritj says that the
House maj- investigate its own body all It
ra.ij choose, but the question of tax re
turn1; is a function of the Board of Equal
ization, which sits evcrj" March-
Citj Hall oiliclals agree that a commit
tee from tlie House or anj- other body
maj- go over the books In Assessor
O'Brien's office, and if it should not think
that somo ot the returns shown there are
high enough It could go before tho Grand
Jurj-.
Assessor O'Brien said yesterday that he
would like nothing better than to see tha
work go on, and he would do all he could
to help tilings along, but his private opin
ion Is that tho committee from the House
has no power whatever in the matter.
This same resolution creating such a
committee waj voted down in tho House
last summer. Members said then that It
savored of graft, as there would of neces
sity have to be two or three high-salaried
positions In connection with the work.
As appointed bj Gazzolo the committee
Is: Wiedmer. chairman; Williams, Rott,
O'Neill. Wltthoefft. Organization has been
effected with Peter Barrett as attorney at
a salary ot $33) a month. W. J. Gavigan
is cleric of the committee.
Assessor O'Brien gavo out some figures
yesterday tn show what had been done by
tho wa of an Increase in assessments.
In I90O tho books show n valuaUon ot
r)523.330. while in 1903 the amount is
$H4.S3.610. an Increase of $3,3C0,310. Of
this raise $34,310,930 is on personal property
alone.
O'Brien said that the matter of reaching
cvcrj'bodj- could not be arrived at In a
day and that he was working on a sys
tem whorebj- the desired result could be
obtained as the figures he presented show.
