The Street Sweeping Contractor Thinks he
Has Been Imposed Upon --.'-. :.
1t was reported about the city hall yes
terday that the street sweeping con-
tractor was anything but pleased with
the action of the council Monday. holding
that it was his duty to remove all sand
and dirt washed on the streets during
rain storms. He is quoted as saying that
while he will carry out the orders of the
council he feels that an injustice has
been done him. and that he will take le-
gal advice. The position taken by the
contractor is that, under his contract.
he is required to remove all sweepings
that can be taken up by his sweepers,
but that when large bodies OF sand or
earth are washed on the streets, neces-
stating the use of shovels, etc, he should
either be paid extra for the work or the
street superintendent should put the
streets in proper shape for sweeping. 1t
is claimed that the removal of this earth
and sand has never been required by
other street sweepers, and he cannot un-
derstand why the work should be inn
posed on him. 1t is probable that he will
appear before the council, either in per-
son or by counsel, and ask for a recon-
sideration of the order.

A Homeopathic Hospital

The medical sxponents of the doctrines
of DR.. Christian Samuel Friedrich
Hahnemann in Southern California are
making energetic efforts to erect and
thoroughly equip a hospital in this city
for the practical exempliflcation of the
theories of the illustrious father of home
opathy. The members of the Home
opathic hospital of Southern California
held its second annual meeting yester-
day afternoon in room 101, Wilson block,
for the election of directors and to Sc
lect site for the construction of the
building. The following gentlemen
were elected directors to serve during
the ensuing year: James Foord, Thos.
Bassett, E. Edgar Galbreth, c. c. Rey-
holds and F. c. Howes. They were en-
powered to elect president and treas
urer, which will be done at a subsequent
meeting. Five lots have been donated
in various localities, conditional upca
the erection of the hospital, but the
selection has not been made as yet.
Strenuous efforts will be made to raise
the necessary funds to carry out the
enterprise, and much encouragement
has been received. There are over
forty homeCD athic physicians in Los
Angeles alone and these, with the ply
sicians of that school in San Diego and
other points in this end of the state, with
their patients, constitute powerful
guaranty of the success Of the movement
to build the hospital. The site will be
selected in the near future and the work
Of construction pushed forward as rap
idly as possible.

occasional anecdote. He spoke of the
unique feature of the War Cry, which
has not one advertisement to support II,
is a purely religious journal, and yet has
a worldwide circula ton of 100000
copies each week and is printed in half
a dozen languages.
He described graphically experiences
that the valiant and intrepid soldiers
have undergone in the discharge of
their duties in slums and saloons IN
America and in fighting the authorities

the United States; Of the pauper policy

their shelters and rescue and prison.
gate homes. The commander closed his
remarks by explaining that the secret
of the army's success in reaching the
poor is that they treat them like ladies
and gentlemen; that because man
has a hole in his coat 1t does not mean,
necessarily, that he mas hole in his
head or his heart or his character. and
that the soldiers and officers of the Army
nut their arms about the needy and af-
f1icted ones, and love them and Lead
them to salvation.
The ladies in the audience were in
yited to ask questions, and In response
to one Mrs. Colonel Keppel told briefly
of the slum work for which the soldiers
doff their uniforms, put on old clothes,
rent two rooms in tenement mouse
that they keep spptlessly clean as an OBJ
ject lesson, and then go about and hunt
IN the sick, scrub their floors, wash
their clothes, cook and take care of the
little ones, and after they have won their
confidence and friendship, introduce re-
lieious subjects and little prayer

their physical necessities. Mrs. KEEP
pei also touched on the work among
the children, the day nurseries and
homes. and the rescue work In which the
women are converted from their sinful
lives and helped to situations in Chris
tian homes.
Another question brought response
from the commander concerning the
financial policy pursued He stated deti-
nitely that the army in each city and
town is made and kept self-supportin2.
Most of the money raised comes from
the collections at the meetings, and the
officers first raise the money IN this
way to pay their own salaries, which av-
erage 81 and Sc a week to the men cap

FIVE POLICE VACANCIES
0ess ip as to Why the Places Have Not Been
Filled

The delay of the police commissioners
in filing the vacancies on the regular
police force is causing a great deal Of
talk among the statesmen about the
city hail. as we'll as the friends of the
hundreds of applicants for the places,
who have been on the anxious seat ever
since the present administration took
office. 1t is fact not generally known
that there are now five vacancies on, the
regular force, with a fair show of at
least one other by the next meeting of
the commission, and why these places
have not been filled is one of the mys-
teries that is puzzling 1.-The push" All
sorts of reasons for the delay are given,
but none of them appear to be satisfac
tory. Under the rules adopted by the
commission, only able-bodied, healthy
men between the ages of 25 and 50 years,
are eligible for appointment, and it is
known that Gen. Forman has ever since
he has been one of the board insisted
that the rules should be enforced to the
letter. And right here is said to be the
principal reason why the vacancies have
not been filled. OF course, with the very
limited police force it would never do
to have the ranks depleted in blocks of
five, and the duties are performed by
specials. Among these specials is at
least one man who is considerably un-
der the age required for a regular officer
and there are others who are over the
limit Now it is claimed that one or
more of these specials are especially IA
vored by the chief who would like to see
them full-fledged policemen. and he has
on more than one occasion so expressed
himself. 1t Is further claimed that
Commissioner Forman would like to
accommodate the chief and have his
choice elected, but the rules in which he
takes so much,pride must be carried out.
It is limited that Gen. Forman would, to
oblige the chief, be willing to wink at
the regulations, in special cases, but
when this has been suggested Commits
sioner McLain and other members have
protested. They, too, have friends who
may be just out side the limits either
ore way or the other, and they insist
that if an exception is made in one case
the bars should be thrown down and all
given a show. 1t is said that this ques-
tion has been the principal topic of dis
c,.ssion at the executive conferences for
seyeral weeks past ard that there was
considerable talk on the same line yes
terday 1t is just possible, if Commits
sioner Wyman does not have to leave
the city, as he now expects that the
appointments may be made at the next
= setting.

war has broken out here and the
streets are filled with excited people.
The congregation Of the Primitive
Methodist church last fall resolved
itself into Congregational church and
continued to use the church and par
sonage, no change being made except
IN name. About dozen of the PRINT
tive congregation refused to unite with
the new organization and determined
TO secure control of the property. They
elected some of themselves trustees.
Last nj ght certain parties forced them
selves into the church, barricaded the
doors and posted a notice on the front
door that the property was in the
hands of the trustees of the Primitive
Methodist church and that any person
interfering with it would do so at his
peril. The barricaded party had re-
volvers and clubs and were prepared
to hold their position. Then the ex-
element became intense and nearly
the entire town focked down to the
place. One of the party was arrested
and locked in Jail. He halls from Min
eral Point. He says he was hired by
