GRAND ARMY EnCampment
What CHICAGO Is Doing to Make It Success

IHHE various committees in
charge of the preparations for
u the annual encampment- of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which
will be held in Chicago during the
last week of August, have completed
their preliminary work, and are now
awaiting the arrival of their honored
guests. It is estimated that fully So
COO veterans will participate in this
years grand parade. and hoped that
both in number of visitors and in the
arrangements for their comfort the
Chicago meeting will surpass every
thing in the history of the order.
The committee on decorations has
~orked especially hard, and the result
of its 1abors has been highly commend
ed by the artists of Chicago. Aside
from the appropriate decoration of
the downtown streets, the commit
tees scheme includes the construction
Of two large arches and colonnade.

not the case. The man wanted to buy.(He

Coroner Holds Inquest Over BODY of
II. +. WeIls-Died From Organic
Disease of Heart.

Coroner Sparkling yesterday afternoon
conducted an inquest over the remains of
II. #. Wells, whose body has been held
at Bonney * Stewards morgue for over
a week owing to the inability of the I'M
dertakers TO procure a certificate author
izing the interment for the reason that
deceased died without the attendance Of
a licensed physician. 1t was developed
that the cause of death was organic heart
disease.
Wells died at Providence hospital, hay-
from f.. @. Richard and Emma " Rick
ard, opponents of osteopathy. The practi-
TONERS both gave testimony at the in
quest yesterday afternoon, but denied
that they had ministered in a professional
way to Wells. who they stated died be-
fore their arrival at the hospital on the
day following his arrival at that institu-
ton.
Coroner Sparkling examined both wit
nesses closely. attempting to show that
they were engaged In the practice of medi-
cine without q license and therefore in
defiance of the law. Both witnesses dis
claimed that they administered medicine
under any circumstances, explaining that
In view of this fact the state board Of
medical examiners had no jurisdiction
over them. Il. G.. Richard explained in
brief that his ministrations to the sick
were confined solely to ''nanipulations OF
the bones or of the parts affecting them"
Drs. Willis. Schoenle and Ford stated
that an autopsy conducted by them re-
vealed that Wells died from organic dis
ease of the heart, and the jury so found
in the verdict rendered. The remains will
be buried under certificate of Coroner
Sparkling.

PRISONERS ARE BUILDING ROAD.
Highways to University Grounds
Now Under Contradiction.

Work has been commenced on the con-
struction of a roadway from the entrance
to the state university grounds, west on
Beacon, Mayo and Lincoln streets to the
Fremont road on Bismarck street.
cross road Is also to be run north on
Cooper street, from Lincoln street to Gar
field avenue. Both of the districts to be
entered by these roadways are at present
accessible to the university only by a
roundabout course down by Lake Union,
and the purpose of the city in doing the
present work Is to establish the first of
the system of roadways leading direct to
the university grounds.
When the construction of these road
ways was first discussed 1t was proposed
to grade the various streets. This i'm
provement was not justified. however, by
the value OF the abutting property, and
the council passed an ordinance appro-
priating $500 to be used in building road
ways wide enough to answer all present
demands.
The $500 appropriated was far too little
to do the work desired, and in order to
keep the cost within the limits 1t has
been found necessary to have the roads
built by the city prisoners. Twenty-Five
prisoners are now employed In grtibbing
out the brush and grading a roadway
The roads to be built lie almost entirely
In low. swampy land. Ii will be neces-
sary to put in two bridges. and much of
the roadway will have to be laid with
cedar puncheons.

Saloonmen and Druggists at War
Over Enforcement of Laws.
MATTER CARRIED INTO COURTS
Attorney for Liquor Men Causes Ar
rest of Druggists ON Charges of
Selling whisky without License
Latter May Retaliate by De-
mauding Observance of the 1
O'Clock and Sunday Closing Laws.

Something nearly akin to bitter warfare
exists between the Business Mems
Protective Association, as the retail
liquor dealers organization is term
ed. and the Seattle Retail Drug
gists' Association. The former or
ganzation has caused the arrest of Max
Ragley. a Second avenue druggist. on
the charge of selling liquor in violation
of the city ordinances. and has obtained
information upon which II plans to cause
the arrest of a member of the firm OF
Stewart & Holmes and of James Lee.
The information against Ragley states
that he sold Scotch whisky to one Louis
Cohn in violation of the ordinance requir-
ing vendors of sprituous and malt liq-
uors to take out city license. 1t Is
charged that Ragley has no license. SIM
ilar charges are to be made, according
to Jay c. Allen, attorney for the liquor
dealers combine against Stewart X
Holmes and Lees pharmacy.
Local druggists declare that the MEM
bers Of their association have not violated
the law in any particular They claim
further, that the saloonkeepers are not
in a position to insist on too exact adj
ministration OF the laws, In the face of
the fact that the l o'clock closing ordi-
nance and the state law prohibiting the
sale OF goods on Sunday are being con-
stantly violated. Said II. f. Holmes. of
1.-The liquor trade of the druggists is
very small consideration. None OF the
druggists sell drinks that 1 ever heard
of, so that the claim made by some Of
the liquor dealers that the druggists want
the saloons closed at O'Clock so that
they can sell whisky after that hour. Is
not we'll founded. The druggists are In
favor of the enforcement of the laws, and
IL the liquor dealers association proposes
to see that the statutes are enforced TO
the letter, the druggists association will
doubtless do likewise"
James Lee. who is president of the
druggists association, said:
1.-THE state law allows registered phar-
macists to sell intoxicating liquors for
medicinal purposes, without the prescrp-
ton of a physician. As understand the
matter, the liquor dealers association
claims that the druggists cannot sell IL
quor in this way-that they must obtain
a prescription from practicing physician
or else take out city license II they re-
tail alcoholic liquors. The druggists as
ISOLATION has an opinion from an able at
torney covering this point, and 1t Is to
the effect that all we have to do Is to
satisfy ourselves that the liquor is re-
qulred for medicinal purposes and to keep
a record of such sales, as we do in sales
of poisons. The law as thus interpreted
