petitioners suggest that S, 900, coo be loaned

struck and died last Friday. He

and around in a circle until the
family saw him and lead him into
the house where he died in about
fifteen minutes. Last

on Green river while working in

The COrOner'S and Health Offices
Are at War.

Although it long ago seemed that an
understanding had been reached between
the Coroner's office end the Board of Health
regarding the signing Of death certificates,
the old trouble will now be fought out to
the end. When the Board of Supervisors
had decided in favor of the death depart
ment it was believed that all certificates of
suspicious or sudden deaths would be signed
only by the Coroner, and that the Health
Department would let the matter drop.
This was not the case, however, for DR..
S. s. Kahn, who had held good position
under tile health authorities, would not
throw up his Office without struggle, and
a determined one at that. The result was
that bone of contention had been thrown
between the opposing parties, who found
themselves more at variance with each other
than ever before.
Dr. Kahn signed all certificates presented
to him as before, and the Coroner did not
hear of every sudden death in the city.
And 80 matters went on from day to day,
principles and opinions becoming more and
more strained on each Side Now these
relations have reached a crisis. and Coro-
ner Eaton has taken determined stand to
fight the matter to the end.
Yesterday he had the body OF Luen Run
Wy, the Chinese woman who died suddenly
under suspicious circumstances, eXhumed,
to allow a jury to view the remains. lie
will hold an inquest into the cause OF death,
believing that she was poisoned, and that
the action of the Board of Health in the
premises shut off all possibility of police in
vestigation, and, therefore, justice was
knowingly and criminally thwarted.
In the woman's stomach was found
enough poison to kill, it is said by chem
lists, at least six people. Several Chinese
claim that Wy was poisoned by a country
woman, the jilted wife of her husband.
The Health Office certificate gives the
cause OF her death as pneumonia.
The witnesses have been mysteriously
spirited away from the city, but the C0r0-
ner expects to show beyond doubt that she
did not die natural death.
