A Good SUGGESTION.

To the Editor OF the Optic.
EAST LAS VEGAS, n. NJ, July TO-
Your Suggestion in the Issue of Satur-
day last that the city appoint an In
lspector of buildings, is both sppro-
pirate and timely. On Eleventh street,
near the center Of the city. one A..
Strauss is now engaged In the erection
of one of four contemplated residences,
the contract price of which is said to be
$3.50 each The material to be used In
the CONSTRUCTION Of these residences is
the blue limestone and old lumber
taken from the Baca building now be
ing torn. down in Old Town. Not a
skilled laborer, either mason or carpen4
ter is employed to do this work, nor is
such to be employed. Everything is to
be done in the cheapest manner, as the
price named indicates. The founda-
tion Of one of these houses is already
up and consists of the aforesaid blue
limestone thrown together and cement
ed, or intended so to be. in mud. Not a
particle of lime is used, and we submit
that upon such foundation no super
structure can be safe. If Mr.. Strauss
were poor man, building house for
himself to occupy, there might be some
occasion for charitable consideration.
But as it is, with ample means to build
good and secure houses, which are to
be rented to and occu ,ied by Others, he
should be held to rigid accountability.
No citizen has any right to construct a
building which is a standing menace to
the lives of others, such as these. build
ings must be. With view TO avoid
ing such action OH the part of others,
and preventing the building of struc-
lures that are likely TO. prove death
traps, the city should name their city
engineer as building inspector, whose
duty it should be upon the application
of several citizens to examine and in
spect any building thus pointed out for
inspection, and If the same should in |
any manner be found to be defective or
dangerous, condemn the same and orr
der it removed. A CITIZEN.

Preparlns for RuIidint.

The report 'maue during the services
at the NJ. f. church, Sunday morning
by Mf. Sydes, on behalf of the finance
committee, created ripple of sGtisfac-
ton in the congregation. MIR. SyGes
stated that the committee had been
very successful in raising finds for the
purpose OF building an addition to the
church edilice. There was yet $3.50 to
be raised but inasmuch as number of
members and friends of the congrega.
tion are yet to be seen he was confident
that tie total amount can be raised
without difficulty. The pastor, Rev.
Kellogg, referred to the excellent report
in a congratulatory way and announced
a meeting of the trustees in coi,junc-
tion with <he finance committee at the
church for tomorrow evening. The
sermon of the morning had reference
to the hopes Of the congregation in Gu
lareing and beautifying their church
edIiice.
1t is understood that the sum desired
to be raised for the improvement Is
about $500.

oUTLAwRY AT wATRous.
Deputy Sheriff TruInIo shot at by Would
be Assasslns.

A bold attempt was made at about 2
O'Clock Sunday to sssassinate j. r. Tru-
jillo, deputy sheriff at Watrous, Mora
county, by two unknown persons. Mr.
| lHurlnlo came in ffoms sWatrous yester-
day afternoon and IeIated the circum-
stances.
IL appears that the deputy sheriff was
standing at the hour mentioned at the
railroad depot, when suddenly three
shots were fired at him from the oppo-
site side of the street, opposite Cosner's
store. The bullets whisiled close to the
deputy sherif's head. showing that the
shots were comparatively well aimed.
Truiillo pulled his weapon aud made
rush across the street and two men
quickly left their hiding place behind
telegraph pole and ran down the street,
firing two more shots as they ran. Tru-
-jtllo tired at the retreating forms and is
convinced that he winged one of the
men, as the individual gave cry and
fen, but quickly gathered himself up
and made his. escape. The deputy
sheriff looked over the scene carefully
at dsybreak Sunday morning and no
,tleed where-tAe man>feih The-seH
wet at-oue place, presumably from the
blood of the individual winged, but of
this there is no certainty.
A resident of the town yesterday
stated that he knew the parties con-
cerned in the shooting but that he did
not dare to tell who they were, as his
life would, as result. be in danger.
The statement was made in the pres
ence of Trujlllo and two others.
Trujillo hiss apparently. made an eff
cient and fearless deputy sheriff and
has, from all accounts, drawn upon
himself the enmity of number of res
idents Of WatIous by reason of this
fact 1t is thought that they have or
gsnized apd-are making a systematic
effort to kill him. The attack Sunday
morning was the beginning of this IN
derhanded warfare.
Trujillo is quick and active in spite
of the fact that his right arm was am
putated some years ago and that he has
lost the sight of his right eye. His
friends, however, have suggested that
be be given the assistance of an efficient
and fearless man, so that he may be
able to control the local situation and |
place some OF the would be assassins 10 |
the penitentiary, where they evidently
belong. IXs ,t.>.r

BAR OUT DISEASED CATTLE
Colorado Veterinary. Board Nantsa Clean
. Bill of Health for imported Shock:


The following taken from Sunday
mornings issue Of the Denver Repub-
licsn is OF great interest 10 stockmen
generally. The meeting referred to
was attended by P. j. Towner. cattle
inspector for the Colorado board at this
place. The ruling made by the board
in session had been promulgated pre-
viously by its. officers. The item is as
follows:
Cattle coming into Colorado from
Old Mexico must have a. clean bill of
health from the government, otherwise
they will not be allowed to remain in
the state. @
The state, veterinary board met 10 the
capitol yesterday afternoon with Dr..
Solomon Book in the chair. The cat
tie quarantine occupied practically all
the time Of the meeting. For some
time cattle have been driven from Old
Mexico ostensibiy to the Wyoming
ranges. Yhey have been brought into
Colorado and turned loose and several
punches have shown signs of Texas
l'fever and other diseases At Ell Paso
the government inspector has given
permits which-~include these words:
ave find them apparently free from
disease"
The word apparently" is objected to
| by the Colorado board, which says that
practieally-the permits not clean bill
ofhealth; that what the government
must do is to state that the cattle are
free from disease. The cattle are ex-
amined when they come. into the state
and this permit will also state emphat-
Icaliy and decisiYely whether the CAT
tie are we'll or not
DR.. Bray of Ell Paso, the government
inspector, attended the meeting yester-
day and said that he would do all with
in his powerto provide clean bill of
Fhealthsfor sail cattle coming into the

TODAY THE
CLOSING DAY
It Was the Busiest One for the
Endeavorers of Busy
Week.
VIEWS ON THE RACE PROBLEM
A Clerical Speaker Says the Ne
Gro Franchise Was a
Mistake.

| DETROIT. Mich, July l0.--The clos
ing day of the International Christian
Endeavor convention was the busiest
day of busy week. Instructions tC
missionaries by President Clark was
one of the features of the convention.
| Thirty workers in heathen fields spoke
sentence or two in the languages
| spoken in the scene of their labors and
retired.
The closing feature of Teot Endeavor
was an address by DR.. Robert +. Speer
of New York on "The Great Blessing
of Missions"
Rev. DIR. w. w. Boyd of st. Louis de-
slivered an address on "Our Country s
Many Problems" lie discussed two
questions immigration and race
problems. For solving the immigration
problem he proposed the remedies: To
maintain American ideals at their high
est point by aroused public sentiment;
to legislate against the admittance of
the pauper and vicious classes of Eu-
rope; and to bring to bear a combined
and quickened Christianity upon the
stranger within our gates.
AS to the race problem the speaker
said, in his Judgment, the government
had made great mistake which it will
not be apt to repeat in the Philippines
when it put in the hands of the negro
all the privileges and the franchise Of
the freest government on the globe.
There are two sides 10 this race
problem said Dr. Boyd. "There is
not white man in the north who, if
his wife or daughter were outraged by
beast. would not rush summarily to
vengeance, but that does not excuse,
though it may palliate the diabolical
crime of lynchlng, and the hour is at
hand when decisive steps must be taken
to abolish it. Christianity must settle
this question; legislation cannot do it,"
Rev. Charles e. Jefferson of New
York spoke upon: Our Country's One
Salvation"

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OPPOSED.
Attorney General NOnett MOnop-
oIinntion of PuhIic Ltiiities.

At the afternoon session Of the Industrial
commission yes erday Mr. Monet said, IN
response to question. that he did not wish
to enter upon discussion of the charge
that the Standard Oil Company had been
guilty OF attempts at bribery to proven
judicial investigation. that matter was
al present under investi gation by the Ohio
supreme court in the contempt case pend
ing there. These proceedings would doubt
less bring out all the facts, and later he
would supply the data to the commission.
Referring TO the necessity of controlling
the transportation agencies as the available
remedy for the evils Of which he complain
ed, Mr.. Monet said that no course could
be too severe if nothing less would produce
the desired result. The states had the rem
edy Of dcpriVing the railroad companies OF
their charters, and this should be resUrted
10 II they failed to treat all equally fair.
While he thought that for the past two
years affairs had been drifting very rap
idly toward the control of the country by
few individuals, the witness thought there
farther, because the masses OF the people
were becoming thoroughly aroused. lie
did not look upon the government control
OF the public utilities as an enectua
remedy.
In conclusion, Mr.. Mauett said that suits
had been begun in the OHIO courts against
the brewers, the tobacco and the tin plate
trusts, and also against the Central 'rrattic
Association.
There Will be no more witnesses before
the commission until next Friday.

ENpcctOration in Theuters

L" the Editor of The Evening Star:
80 much has been said against the filthy
habit OF eHpectorating in public places |
was surprised, as well as indignant, last
evening al one of our leading theaters TO
see a man in the garb of a gentleman fire.
quently clear his throat in the aisle, there
by rendering the carpet in his vicinity I'M
fit TO walk on, and so little regard did h..
show where he distributed his filth | could
not feel at all sure that my dress was not
one of his targets.
W lille so many complaints have been
made against ladies' large hats in theaters,
l have failed 10 see a single remonstrance
made against men who indulge in the dis
guSttuS habit of eXpectoratiou in the same
places, although in New York notices are
put up forbidding expectoration in the
streets. We have to submit to it here in
theaters and in the galleries of Congress
OF course, no gentleman would make such
a nuisance of himself. and others should be
forbidden to by the managers of theaters
who certainly owe 1t to their lady patrons
to have a clean floor and not run the risk
of having their dresses spoiled by ill-man-
nered Doors. A DISGCSTED WOMAN
