Following out the instructions of Com

mosa, of Brooklyn. has placed three de-
tectives on the case of Susan Davies.
the young girl who died at the Bush
wick Central Hospital after falling out
of a window OF a livery stable on Var

Capt. Formosa said to-day: From all
the evidence my men have collected. i
am of the opinion that 10 crime had
been committed. But I shall still follow
up the case. There is no oub that the
girl was intoxicated. From some new
evidence just unearthed this is certain.

police by a oun woman friend
OF Miss Davies, who says she has
met Brown and that he lives at Red
Bank. The police believe he can throw
considerable light pon tho mystery sur
rounding the girls death.
Another peculiar phase of the case Ia
the engaging OF a firm of lawyers by
the family OF the dead girl. When asked
why the attorneys were engaged Alex

The startling revelations unearthed
by Acting Engineer Gamble yesterday
in connection with Guthrie's $50. 600
sewerless sewer system, are but an.
other chain in the evidence showing
rank ccllusion and connivance in tho
granting OF the contract and the con.
struction Of the work acting under
orders Gamble uncovered these lat
erals and found that laterais "a and IN
wei in no condition for drainage. lie

mates had been fixed to suit the case
and that the mains were thrown into
the ground regardless of contract and
specifications.
This discovery merely confirms
an that the Citizens committee has

first place were hoodwinked by the
city council and subsequently held M.

towns have paid Contractor Ford

maintained that the estimates were
non too high and that the contract
prices were just and equitable
Thanks to the work of the Citizens
committee the taxpayers Of Guthrie
have been saved thousands Of dollars
The discovery of yesterday practically
condemns the whole sewer layout and
necessitates the formulation of a new

The platform Of principles enunci-
ated by the Rev. w A. Humphrey
meets the approval Of every right
thinking man in Guthrie. He covers
the ground thoroughly so far az inn
mediate needs and conditions are con.
cern d and fully bears out the conten.
tion of The Leader that he Is fully
able to cope with duties devoiving up
on inc chief executive of the city.
Tie cry that the citizens move
ment was instigated by sore.heads
and non-producers is quickly throttled
by this platform. II means progros-
sion, enterprise greater grander
Guthrie 1lr Humphrey is sincere
AS mayor OF Guthrie he will put bis
views into execution. His platform is
plain, and outspoken. IL Is free from
platitudes and circumlocution.
More light and less lawflessness"
is a slogan that every respectable
voter in The city can take up and pro
claim.
Mr. Humphrey believes in law and
order. If city ordinances have been
made governing the liquor traffic they
should be enforced without fear or
favor If the ordinances are obnoxi-
Gus, repeal them The duties of a
mayor are merely administrative, not
legislative AS mayor Mr.. Humphrey
could only enforce the ordinances
which the council makes Yet his
recommendations could in a measure,
prevent vicious legislation and afford
protection to those who pay the taxes.
Mr. Humphrey has stated his position
clearly and succinctly He can GER

ties faithfully and honestly as mayor
