WILL LEND AID
Agree to Cooperate With

ing License Tax Eyaders
YORKE'S DEMAND HEARD

Inclined to Pay Current
Bill for Street Repairs
YORKE'S DEMAND HEARD

The members of the Finance Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors
yesterday held conference with the
Police Judges and Chief of Police
Whitman relative to the crusade now
being waged against all persons liable
for the payment of license taxes to the
city who have evaded payment in the
past.
The Police Judges were requested
and agreed to cooperate with the
committee in bringing all those who
persist in refusing to pay their license
taxes to justice. 1t was decided by
the committee to swear out warrants
for the arrest of all offenders in that
connection, and the Police Judges pro-
pose to construe the law in imposing
sentences exactly as found in the or
dinances imposing the various license
taxes.
The Finance Committee began an
investigation into the bill of f. NJ
Yorke & Co. for repairing bituminous
pavements during September amount
ing to $3727. Inspector Boone GER
titled as to the correctness of the sur
face area with the allowances made
for extra depth. Boone admitted that
his conclusions were from guesswork
in the main and he kept no written
record of his figures. The committee
held that this was irregular, but the
York Company claimed that it was
not to blame for any detection in the
method of measurement Boone
agreed to keep a daily record of the
work done.
1t was stated that the work of re-
pairing the streets had ceased owing to
the fact that the contractors bills had
been held up. The committee felt
that the work should not be stopped
and promised to take action on the
demand at next Mondays meeting It
was intimated that the bill will be
passed leaving the August demand,
which was held up. to be determined
by the courts.

freedom and aplomb, her intonation is
delightfully."- true. and altogether she is

good deal of the classic instinct and
technical surety, and the Grieg with
an equally true feeling for the modern
note. In both she was sympathetically

The local production of "The Star of
Bethlehem at Lyric Hall is arousing
wide interest among many classes of
playgoers. On Monday evening the
audience was composed largely Of the
clergy of all denominations, who have

the effect. The play will be given all

roo MANY LAWYERS.

Dr.. Ward did not remember his tes-
timony of that occasion and explained
that his lapse of memory was reason
able. because five or six lawyers were
on top Of him all the time. There
were some discrepancies between his
testimony then and now. He said yes
terday that neither Mr.. Ruef nor the
Mayor had ~vouched" for Louis Levy
the deputy health officer. He told the
Supervisors that one or the other of
them recommended him. The doc
tor admitted that Mr. Ruefs recon-
rlendation carried a great deal of
weight with him, and he took occasion

for his executive and other abilities.
As to the change from sanitary in
spectors'' to inspecting physicians,
the witness declared that the new
name was not original but ii gave
the Office more dignity and enabled
the board to secure men better quail
fed for the position. The board did
not believe that physicians needed to
lass a civil service examination, and
that was one of the reasons the COM

OF eligibles from which to fill the posi-

applied as well to the office of deputy

Another effort to examine the doc
tor as TO his testimony before the Su-
pervisors was met by a question from

cation was not a one-sided, prejudiced
farce" Judge Sloss would not permit
the witness to answer.

HOW ATTELL Is "DoPED."
Story That He Is Fixed Up" Before

Many stories are told Of fighters being

the idea of doping a man i'm order to in
crease his speed Is a new one. This nov
till mas been brought to light by a pu-
