something unforeseen happens.
One of the soldiers is accompanied
by his wife. Sergeant John Glynn of
Company e was married two years
ago at Fort Leavenworth, and when
the regiment got orders to move she
decided to follow her husband. She
crossed the continent with the soldier
boys and will sail on the Scandia with
them. She is bright, active and good
looking. and will make the far-off
Philippines seem something like home
to her husband.
The Scandia has been made into a
model troopship during her stay in
port. She is now fitted with every
convenience, and since she has been
painted white she looks like one of the
white squadron. Captain Hart, of
course, goes out as commander, but
Chief Officer Crosby remains ashore.
Second officer Malone, who was for
merly captain of the ship ]. B. Brown,
goes out as chief officer, and A Gard
ner, late of the Gaelic, goes out as sec
ond officer.

MORE PLUMBING TROUBLE.
CampOs-C en-Cavcy-Meyer Case to
Come Up I'm the Police Court.

CampOs-COhen-CaV Case to
Come Up I'm the Police Court.
An investigation that promises to bring
out interesting disclosures as to the plumb
ing in the property at No. 232 Bull street,
owned by Mr.. Jacob Cohen, viii come up
ia the Police Court to-day. Several
plumbers were hopping mad yesterday ow-
ing TO the part they have been assigned
TO take. Plumber Meyer and Timer Cavey
are on the docket for doing work not ac-
cording TO the ordinance, and Mr.. Cohen,
who has just been discharged by the Re
corder for employing a non-lcensed plumb
er, has been summoned as a witness in the
case. The summons reads thus: You shah
appear to testify in the case OF Meyer,
Cavey and Cohen for violating plumbing
regulations"
The present mixed condition of things
started several days ago when Plumbing
Inspector CamDos placed Mr.. Cohen on
the docket for having work done not in
accordance with the ordinance The in
spector had been called TO make an inves-
ugaton, and of finding the plumbing in
bad condition, he inquired of Mr. Cohen
who had done it, He said he was told that
the man had left town. Campos thereupon
put Mr.. Cohen on the docket for the al
legged violation.
At the hearing Plumber Meyer test-
fed that he did the work in MIR. Cohen's
place, and this being what the plumbing
inspector was after, the defendant was
discharged and the Recorder directed the
inspector TO put Meyer on the docket for
not doing regulation work Meyer is a Ii
ccnsed plumber. 1t seems from his state
ment to a Morning News reporter that
he misunderstood things in Police Court.
The fact is / did do some work at the
Cohen house." said Meyer but 1 didn't
do ii all. Former inspector Cosgrove au-
thorized me to do some temporary work
there, which l admit was not in accord
ance with the ordinance, but it was to be
