DEWEY AS GODFATHER.
Becomes Sponsor for Child Born to
the Daughter of an Old Friend.

New York. Nov. 14-Admiral Dewey to-
day acted as godfather to the infant son
of Mrs. Hartman of St. George, Staten
Island, the daughter of an old friend. The
child was named Frederick, after his
father. The admiral and his son George
left the WaldOrf-AstOria soon after
o clock this morning. They were unac-
companied While the admiral and his
son were waiting the Thirty-third
the great sailor became interested in
slot machine. The admiral had pen
MES and his son bought some of the chew
ing gum. The admiral handed a piece to
the gateman who had not recognized him
Several persons who stepped from the
next train recognized the hero and one
cried out cheerfully; How are you. adj
did the gateman know how he had been
hOnOred
This I wouldn't have chawed?' he said
to the ticket seller, IF I'd knOwed II was
the admiral give to me?'' and he looked
ruefully at the Wad of gum.
Keep it anyway suggested the ticket
seller.
WhereupOn he carefully wrapped the gum
pocket. At South ferry the admiral took
the boat for TOmpkinsVille, S. J..
On his return the admiral was recog-
nized and there was unseemIy Scram-
BILE to get near him until finally some one
suggested that they would disgust the
hero. Then the crowd showed more con
sideration. But the admiral was badly
crowded as he left the boat
There was great deal Of cheering as
he left the boat The admiral bowed
pleasantly. He reached the hotel without
incident.

Architect Holland Objects tC

vision of City Hall.
UST BE ENGINEER
City Official to Be the General
Superintendent.
Specifications For the Building
Are Submitted.

There is still some friction between
the city council and Architect J. G. Hol-
land concerning who shall boss" the
erection on the new city building. The
statutes say that the work shall be
performed under the direction of the
city engineer, but Mr.. Holland insists
on having the specifications arranged
so that he can oversee the work with
out the Intervention of the engineer.
The specifications for the entire
building have been completed and they
were submitted to the council at its
meeting last night by Mr.. Holland and
City Engineer Wise. They cover so or
60 typewriter sheets, and consist prin-
cipally in minute directions concerning
the manner in which the work shall be
done and the material which shall De
used for each part.
The specifications all have to be read
before the city council and approved Dy
that body. City Clerk Squires, City
Attorney Bird and Assistant City AT
tOrney Gregg took turns about reading,
and some of the cOuncilmen dOZed while
the reading progressed. Mr.. Holland
had drawn the specifications so that
the directing of the work would de-
VOlVe upon him, but wherever the word
architect" appeared in such a cOnnec-
ton Mr.. Bird changed it to city engi-
neer," explaining that the Law and the
city ordinance required the engineer to
act in that capacity.
Mr.. Holland protested. He said he
thought the architect knew more about
carrying out the details of his own
plans than anyone else, and there were
many little matters that the engineer
might overlook.
but the law says the city engineer
shall oversee this work" said Mr.. Bird
THE architect is directly under the di-'
rection of the engineer"
Yes, I know the engineer is under
my direction said Mr.. Holland.
mo, he isn't" said Mr.. Bird. You're
under his direction
Our contract with you, Mr.. Hol-
land said Mayor Drew, requires that
you shall give the city your time for
this matter as it is required. The city
engineer is not supposed to stay at the
building all the time, but, as I under
stand it, you are to watch these mat
ters, and call his attention to them 1t
will virtually amount to having you
direct the work although you viii be
subject to the direction of the city en-
gineer.'
This settled the matter and the direc-
ton of the work is left, nOminally at
least, with the city engineer.
The council got tired of the reading
of the specifications when it had about
p pages left, and an adjournment was
taken until this evening, when the
reading will be completed.
The question of accepting the lumber
for the flooring of the Viaduct will also
be settled this evening.

SURE TO ASK.
The Kind of Coffee When Postum is
Well Made.

Three great coffee drinkers were my
old school friend and her two daugh-
tiers.
They are always complaining and
taking medicine. determined to give
them Postum Food Coffee instead of
coffee when they visited me, so without
saying anything to them about it, I
made a big pot of Postum the first
morning, using four heaping teaspoons
10 the pint of water and let it boil
twenty minutes, stirring down occa-
BiOnally.
Before the meal was half over. each
one passed up the cup to be reflled re
marking how fine the coffee was The
mother asked for a third cup and in
qutred as to the brand of coffee used
didn't answer her question just then
for had heard her say a while before
that she didn't like Postum Food COT
Zee unless it was more than half old
fashioned coffee.
After breakfast told her that the
coffee she liked so we'll at breakfast
was pure Postum Food Coffee and the
reason she liked it was because it was
properly made, thit is. it was boiled
long enough to bring out the flavor. I
have been brought up from a nervous.
Wretched invalid, to a fine condition of
physical health by leaving OF coffee
and using Postum Food Coffee.
Il am doing all I can to help the
world out of coffee slavery, to Postum
freedom, and have earned the gratitude
of many, many friends" Myra J. Tul-
aers 1923 Troost Ave. Kansas City, Mo.

Councilman Blossom moved that the
request of Raynor be granted. City
Attorney Bird called attention that the
pardohing power was vested in the
mayor with the consent of the coun-
ell.

ney Gress.

times during the past summer" an

him examined by the city physician"
Councilman Burgess moved that the
mayor be given power to do as he sees
fit in the matter, and this motion car
ried.

NEED OF REFORM.
Topeka Should Have a City
Hospital at Once.
Injured People Unable to Pay
Can Not Be Cared For.
ONE HOSPITAL BILL.
Council Decides 1t Has No Au-
thOrity to Pay
Humanity Demands That Some
thing Be Done.
ONE HOSPITAL BILL.

AT present there are no arrangements
for caring for the INDECENT sick and in
Cured of Topeka
The county commissioners make no
provision for caring for such cases ex-
cept at the poor farm. The following
letter explains the stand taken by the
city authorities:
Flames Ramsey, Chief of Police.
Dear Sir; Acting upon the advice
Of the city attorney the council refused
to pay the bill of Stormont hospital or
the bills of the Salvation Army hospital
and directed the city clerk to return the
bills as the county, not the city, must
take care of the poor.
You will please notify Mrs. Thorpe
of the action of the council and govern
yourselves accordingly.
Very truly,
&C. J. DREW
The bill from Stormont hospital is for
s5S Nearly three months ago a tramp
was run over by 3. Union Pacific train
in North Topeka and his foot crushed.
He was found by the police and taken
TO the city prison. Chief Ramsey tele
phOned to the Salvation Army hospital
asking that the man be cared for. The
hospital authorities answered that they
would see. The chief waited for an hour
and telephOned again Finally he sent
for DR.. Mum who said an amputatiOn
was necessary and that the man must
go to a hospital
After waiting four hours and being
unable to have the man taken at the
Salvation Army hospital where the city
had made arrangements for such cases,
Chief Ramsey and DR.. Mum made ar
engagements for the man to be cared for
at Stormont hospital at reduced rates
Following the instructions of the letter
Chief Ramsey has ordered the patrol
men not to send any more unfOrtunates
TO the city prison.
According to this letter of instruc-
tiOns the police can not look out for
such cases. said Chief Ramsey. 7 I'M

care for such cases but the county has
refused to many times When people
injured or sick the police are called.

JAIL NOT HEALTHY.
Jointist Who Might Have Thought of
That Before

Frank Raynor, a jointist who is con-
fined in the city prison, wants to get
out There may be nothing remark
able about this, but this particular joint
ist has petitioned the city council to let
him out. In his petition he stated that
he is afflicted with a disease of the
eyes, and if he serves his full sentence
of 80 days it may destroy his sight He
also says he is willing to pay his fine
liberty. Accompanying the petition was
a certificate from his physicians stating
that further confinement in jail might
render his eyes iHcurable-

the request of the labor unions of To
peka regarding work on the new city
hall The request was that eight hours
be declared a days work, and that IN

ploy home labor as far as possible.

Mr. Wise said he thought most of the
lumber would answer the purpose, al
though it was not equal to the specif-
cations.
The matter was at length referred to
the building committee, with instruc-
tions to have the lumber inspected.
Mayor Drew called attention to the
fact that it is important that the work
be done as soon as possible.

ply Ship Coming.

The United States collier Sciudia
came in the harbor yesterday after
noon, anchoring alongside the PhIia-
deIphia, which she will coal. II has
now about been decided that the Scind-
ia viii return to San Francisco from
this port and not continue her trip 20
Manila as at first proposed.
This change is caused by leaky boil
ers. which have given the officers Of
that STEAMER considerable trouble on
the voyage 50 far and one of the engi-
neer's crew is said to have been severe
ly burned by escaping steam from a
bursted steam pipe on Sunday last.
The Iris mOored at Pacific Mail wharf
at s o'clock yesterday morning. where
she is repairing and coaling. She will
take on an additional 200 tons of coal,
so as to take the place of the Scindit
and supply the battleship Oregon or
the way TO Manila.
The United States supply ship Gel
tic is not looked for from San Fran
cisco until some time next week. Her
non-appearance when the Oregon and
Iris are prepared for sea will not de-
lay those vessels, which will then pro-
vision here and go on alone, and the
Celtic will follow them upon her ar
rival in this port.

cred yesterday to assist the Hackfelj
scows in coaling the OREGON.
