Mr.. Bowden and some of the other
members of the republican executive
committee of Virginia are still here,
and 30 are some of the Office seekers
from that State, but the latter are i'll at
ease, for the good reason that no other
offices than fourth class postoffices are
now being given to Virginia, nor will
be for some time yet, and then, too,
there are so many applicants for each
that Mr.. Bowden, the referee in all
cases except in the 9th and 10th dis
iricts, finds it hard to make the selec-
tons. 1t is pretty we'll decided, how
ever, that Mr.. Treat will be marshal
for the eastern district of the State, and
Mr.. Reed for Postmaster at Viewpoints
News. Mr.. Asa Rogers is an applicant
for the marshslship, but will have to
be content with some less lucrative
place. 1t may also be pretty safely
stated that the negroes will get little or
nothing, the prevalent feeling on the
subject being to the effect that there
are entirely too few Offices for any of
them to be given to the negroes, who
will continue to vote for the party
whether they get any Offices or not.
A sporting man of this city talking
to-day about the betting that has been
going on at the Bennings race track
here this week, said it was all right
and proper. as that track was within
the District line, and that the district
attorney and his staff had attended the
races and said 30, and so had the news
papers of this city. He agreed with
them, he said, for the reason that if it
be good policy to keep family money in
the family, it Is equally as good to keep
city money in the city. Some people

CRITICIZE THE MORGUE.
The Grand Jury Committee
Makes Numerous Recon-
mendationS.
Better Appliances AdvOcated-The
Necessity in Criminal Gases
Is Urged.

The Grand Jury Committee on Morgue
and Coroner's office, consisting of R. D.
Cranslon and +. l.. TurpIn, rendered a
report yesterday regarding the present
building and appliances devoted to the
use OF the Coroner and his assistants.
The manner in which Coroner Hawkins
conducts his office is commended, but the
Morgue itself from structural and eff
Gent standpoint is handled without
gloves.
After stating that the present buildings
are unfit for the purposes for which
they are used, lie cUmmitIee goes Oh to
report:
We would suggest that the new Morgue
should be q two-stUry structure with modern
eeyalor, the first Dor TO b divided into

age OF properly, the two rooms, other than

with refrigerator processes. The importance
OF this cannot be overesi1mated, especially In
criminal cases.
The present lack of such process prevents the
detention OF bodies Tor more tnan twenty-fC ur

advan tages Ia criminal cases are too numer-
Gus TO mention.

ranged Tor an autopsy-Ioom and laboratory

supplied with All necessary apparatus for the
proper 1nvesugauons, not as now few knives
and slab.
For the present year 1920 has been appro-
priated, when there wiz probably be 100
cases.
The many recent crimes have shown how in
adequate he Morgue is TO cope with such
WORK with It's present facilities. Much of this
work has reen done by friends OF the Murgue
without pay, which Is radically wrong. Par
ties doing such work should be paid and under
bonds for efficient work.
The committee closes its report by rec
ommending that The. Hall of Justice be
connected witt The Morgue by bridge
across Dun bar allev.

the Textbook Question.
Judge HebDard yesterday N orning de-
cided that the Board OF Education
had no right to change a uniform series OF
textbooks within a less period than four
years from the time OF its adoption. The

the 30th OF June of the present year. of a
resolution providing for the abortion of
the Thompson system" of text books for
the drawing classes OF the primary and
grammar grades of pubic schools.
"Prang system" had been In u>e prior 20

A meteorological examination OF the
public water supply o: this city has re.
Gently been made at the pathological
laboratory OF the medical department OF
the University OF California under the
direction of Professor Douglass W. Mont
gomery, curator. at The request OF Inc
!ocat Board of Health.
In report to the board, which was
unanimously adopted, the committee
says:
We feel it our urgent duty to condemn the
wafer supplied by the contra Costa Water
purposes in lis present condition. and make
the following recommendations:
Fltst-That the pubic be warned that all
Contra Costa water used for drinking purposes
must hrst be thoroughly boiled.
SecJud-That the board OF Education be
recommended to discontinue the use OF Con-
ira Costa water in all. public schools, owing
10 the imDossibility OF carrying out the boil
ing process.
Third - We recommend that the Contra
Costa Water Company Immediately avail
themselves OF the latest means OF purifying
water, regardless of expense, such as AGRA
tlon, precipitation and tltrauon OF organic
matter, etc.
Fourth-We also recommend that as soon as
convenient the Contra Costa Water Company
Hfoceeu with a cleansing OF ITS entire system
OF watersheds, and in places where they can
not absolutely control the contamination OF
Inc water TO perfect a system OF sewers, which
would carry contamination below the level
OF their reservoir.

a Slot Machine.
The Court Holds It to Be a Lottery.
Deutoh to Be Sentenced
Next Monday.

The first case to be tried for violation
that of Isaac Deutch, VINO keeps a cigar
stand at Kearny street.
Deutch, accompanied by his counsel,
ex-Judge Levy and Peter Dunno, appeared
before Judge Conlan yesterday.
Officer Naylor, who arrested the defend
ant, testified as to the manner in which
the arrest was made. He told of his go
ing to Deutch's stand, and, after deposit
Ing two nickels, he was fortunate enough
to win two cigars. After receiving the Ha.
vanas he unceremoniously took the un-
lucky dealer and his machine into Gus.
lody for conducting lottery.
Judge Levy tried TO show the court that
the machine was similar to the game OF
poker, and IN trying to substantiate il
placed Samue Damn Ell baum, the proprie-
tor OF cigar-store under the Phelan build
ing, on the stand. Dannenbaum testified
that the hands appearing in the lot ma
chimes were secured in the same way as
IN ordinary drawpoker, but reluctantly
admitted that while a novice and an ex.
pert pokerpiayer would have the same
chances. yet in the game of poker skill was
winning feature
The defendants counsel explained 10
the court that if the law had been vio-
lated the defendant wanted to know il,
and if so would desist In running the
machines.
After listening to the evidence Judge
Conlan held Deutch guilty. Sentence was
deferred until next Monday. when it is
expected an appeal will be taken.

Universal Postal Delegates Make Stop
There to Inspect 1t.

A special dispatch to the Journal from
Washington says that the committee on ar
rangements for the universal postal con-
gress junlzet through the West expresses
satisfaction at the Indianapolis programme,
describing it as generous and satisfactory.
The duration of the stop at indianapolis
has been extended a half an hour. the train
being now scheduled to arrive at 1880 and
leave at 1890 a. m. on Saturday.
Representative Faris, who has left Wash
ington for home, takes with him sugges-
ton from Assistant Postmaster General
Heath which Will probably bear fruit in an
invitation from w. II. Mckeen to the postal
delegation to stop and inspect the McKeen
farm near Terre Haute Many of the for
eigners have expressed desire to have
good look at a model American farm, and
MIR. McKeen has one of the BEST hence
the suggestion. The McKeen farm lies on
the line of the railroad and the excursion
train can sidetrack there very conveniently.
If Farmer McKeen's June apples are not
yet ripe his neighbor, Crawford Fairbanks,
may be induced TO open barrel of his I'M
exempted hard cider for the visitors in
honor of the occasion. The excursionists
have arranged to stop for a half hour at
Terre Haute, arriving there between 1890
and l o'clock noon.
