COLLATERAL RETURNED
QUESTION INVOLVING THE
RIGHTS OF HEALTH OFFICE.
THE
Manager of Apartment House Removes
Diphtheria Sign and the Matter
Taken to Court.

Clarence F. Donohoe, who has charge of
the Miburn apartment house on East Cap
itol street. was defendant in the Police
Court this morning for an alleged viola ton
of the health laws. The case is one of in
terest to owners of such buildings and no
tells, it involves the right of the health
officer to put a diphtheria placard on the
front of such buildings. 1t is stated that
it has been the practice of the department
to place such signs only on the doors OF
the apartments in which the patients were
confined and not on the outside OF the
building. In this case the sign was duly
placed upon the door and later second one
was tackled on the outside of the building.
II was this latter sign that gave offense to
the owner of the property, as well as to the
occupants of the house
IN addition to the alleged unsightly- sign,
objection was made to the presence about
the door of the apartment of a Waterman.
who was charged witt. the duty of prevent
ing acts which, it was thought, might
assist In spreading the disease. The watch
man S presence in the building, it is stated,
was obnoxious to the occupants of the sew
eral apartments and more especially to the
members of the family in which there was
sickness. With them there was a feeling
that they We're prisoners of the District,
and they made known their objection to
the watchmans presence. Should he come
there tonight, Prosecuting Attorney Pugh
was told this morning, he Will be thrown
out.
Reaches a Climax.
The trouble in the house came to climax
yesterday afternoon, when the police were
compelled to take hand. The card put
on the outside of the building, it is al
legged, was torn down by Mr.. Donohoe and
he was promptly arrested. The police
Quired him to deposit $40 collateral for his
appearance in court.
Mr.. L. Fred Alvey, father of the sick
child. accompanied Mr.. Donohoe to the Po-
lice Court this morning where Attorney D.
w. Baker was prepared TO put up a legal
fight. The parties to the case met in Mr.
Pughs Office, and the charge against Mr.
Donohoe was Investigated. Counsel pro-
duced the law under which the arrest had
been made. and under which the proSecu-
ton would have to rely for conviction.
This section charges the health officer with
the duty of placarding premises or apart
ments in which there are certain cases of
sickness. Mr.. Pugh the assistant city So
Hcitor, said it had been held that in apart
ment houses and hotels the placards must
be placed on the door of the apartment in
which the patients are confined, and not
on the front of the building.
Mr.. Donohoe'S collateral was returned
and the case postponed for a day in order
to give time for inquiry into the provisions
of the law.

The Restrictions.

When completed the speedway will be re-
stricted to light vehicles under rules to be
issued by the Road Drivers and Riders
Association and approved by the superin-
tendent of public buildings and grounds.
While the speed limit of eight miles per
hour will not apply to the speedway proper,
1t Will apply to the return drive, whether
parallel with the Speedway or along B
street. Before the course is opened to the
public large signboards containing the re-
qulrements to be observed by drivers will
be conspicuously posted so there will not
be any excuse for violating the rules
The members of the executive committee
designated under the bylaws from the
membership of the board of directors to
nave charge of the details governing the
organization and driveway will proba blv
ma 1t desirable to designate superntend-
ent OF the speeding roadway, and who will
nave charge of the classification of horses
and be held responsible for the enforcement
OF order through the aid of the park police.

The Road Drivers and Riders Association
by the courtesy of the engineering depart
ment of the government will by completing
this work on the reclaimed flats provide the

DRIVEWAY ASSOCIATION PUSH
ING WORK ON NEW COURSE.
Provide Nucleus for an Attractive
Parking-Plans for Widening
the Roadway.

The work of completing the new speed
way is being pushed rapidly and. weather
conditions permitting, it is thought the
lew course will be practically completed
during the next two weeks, although all the
work will not have ended until the road
way Is perfected to a width of 100 feet.
The plan as proposed by those in charge
is to complete a roadway sixty feet in
width, where speeding may be INDUCED by
the public at ali hours. and it is thought
the work can be finished. as stated, within
the next two weeks. The board has in
hand subscriptions sufficient to complete
1t, and it has been SO successful in It's eff
forts that it is planned to ask for an adj
dltiona1 S1.000 with which to widen the
speedway to 100 feet. If that amount can
be secured the roadbed will be made
nearly half wide again as the famous
New York riding course, and Will be wide
enough for q return drive without leaving
the course, giving in addition plenty of
space for carriage way for sightseers
park drivers and others. If, however, the
money is not forthcoming to pay for the
additional work of widening the speedway
the drivers will the extension of

posed finish at 10Th street to 25d street,

DEMOCRATS NOT
READY TO REPORT
More Time Wanted to Look
Into Secretary Wiggles-
worth's Charges
TO GIVE GARBAGE MEN A HEARING

Another discussionl over the cdLlec-
ton OF garbage was indulged in by the
members Of city Council at the regular
meeting of that body last night. The mat
ter was brought up by Mr.. Taylor Of
the Seventh ward, who presented a COM
munication from the Board Of Health in
which that body put itself on record as
against making any change in the report
OF Secretary Wigglesworth. The COM
munioaton wound up by saying that the
report must be printed as submitted
Chairman Lynch of the special com
mittee appointed to confer with the mem-
bers OF the Board OF Health on the sub
ieot said that the committee had as yet
not been able 10 get together and make
a report of the result OF the conferences
held with the Health Board.
Mr.. Taylor, the Republican member Of
the committee called the whole proceeding
peanut politics and said that amy council
man who counfenanced decays such as
were being made in the matter, was unfit
ITO occupy his seat as a city official.
MIR. McCanerty thought that 1.-THE com
mittee was entitled 20 at least common
courtesy and should have time to get
togsther and make a report.
Mr.. Kane said that at the Joint meet
ing of the committee and the members
of The Board Of Health on Monday night
last, Secretary Wigglesworth Of the laater
body made charges against Chairman VIII
lis OF the crematory committee Of CITY
Council and also against the garbage
contractors. He thought these men should
have an opportunity TO defend themselves.
Mr.. Lynch one Of the meurers of the
special committee said that he had been
"a member Of city Council for ten months
and this was the first time that he had
heard from the Board Of Health that the
| garbage contractors were not doing their
work properly If the contractors are not
doing as they should" said Mr.. Lynch. II
think Il is about time that council should
know it, He favored the idea Of giving
the garbage collectors a hearing.
At this Juncture Mr.. Spence, OF the
Ninth ward arose and suggested that the
special committee be named a COMMITTEES
to spar for time until the new board of
Health Is appointed.
President AncNulty thought Mr.. Spence S
remark uncalled for.
The foregoing discussion followed a mo-
ton made by Mr.. Lynch to continue the
special committee for one week. The mo-
ton was finally carried by a strict party
vote.
Mr.. Lynch also moved that the commit
tee IN question be increased from three
70 i've members and that the garbage
contractors and Secretary Wigglesworth
OF the Board Of Health be requested to
appear before the committee at a public
hearing, where Mr.. Wiggiesworth's ;
charges would be slfted. The meeting ad-
journed before any time was set for the
hearing.
Chairman Wins OF the Crematory Com
mattee and Mr.. Reilly Of the Eigh,h ward
were appointed as the two addit onal mem.
bers Of the special committee.

HOLDING UP A REPORT.

Last night Council again postponed
it's decision on the question OF printing
the report Of the Board OF Health in
the regular way. Our municipal legis-
lature has allowed a few OF it's minutest
politicians TO control IN this affair and
II their supremacy continues we shall
be obliged to judge Council by their
measure.
The Democratic members seem to be
laboring under the impression that IL
Is their duty to revise the findings OF
the Board OF Health. II their con-
tention is sound they should go a step
further and assume the functions OF
the health body. The report Of any
onicial body Is valuable In proportion
as it voices the sentiments OF that
body; and edited reports cannot for
an instant be tolerated.
These Democratic members OF Coun-
Gil are stin questioning that part Of
tho report which rejects on the
efficiency OF the garbage collectors.
Nobody else questions It, however. Mr..
Taylor a member OF the committee.
pat the matter truthfully and bluntly
when he said that every member OF
Council knew that garbage was not
properly collected. He also declared
that any member who sought to delay
this matter for political purposes is not
nt 10 be a member OF Council
Sine, a test is to be made we de-
clare that IN our opinion it is more
essential that the report OF an official
body should be published without edit
ing than to publish a revised version,
even though that should be more nearly
correct. For II is necessary that such
responsible bodies as the Board of
Health shall be free from coercion; and
when the time comes when their ON
cial report becomes only the senti-
ments OF Council. the usefulness Of a
very important body viii have van
ished.
We want TO see that report published,
and If there are no means to pay for
the work, upon that being stated, we
promise TO ask through our columns
for subscriptions to cover the expense

suicipE-iTs CAUSE.

Statistics for the past several decades
show that suicides are increasing stead
ily, and that the proportion is highest
in those countries where education is
highest. The increase is beginning to
alarm Germany and il is a subject re-
quiring grave thought In our own coun-
try.
The reasons men leave behind them
for taking their own lives are manifold
many Of them being incomprehensible
Ito the mind ordinarily constituted. We
read this morning, for instance. Of the
suicide Of a young man in New York
son Of Kate Claxton. the actress, we
arc told. His reason was his inability
TO make friends. Now that gives us a
clue 70 the real cause for his rash act
which was not as be named it. but a
falae conception OF a mans place in the
world. and false ideas as to his duties
and pleasures.
To seek pleasure is not the normal
purpose in iife-at least not to seek II
Immediately. BY all experience. ana
by all the wisdom Of the ages we gather
that mans highest and truest purpose
Is TO work. II may sound trite and like
preaching to declare that we get most
out OF life while in the performance Of
duty, but It is nevertheless eternaily
true.
A danger comes to every man who
becomes thoroughly discouraged. but a
greater danger follows from having
tasted every pleasure having become
absolutely satiated Many men and
women OF twenty-five have exhausted
their capacity for pleasure and excite
ment, and beyond they see years
stretching away-years that appear abb
solutely dreary and without interest.
This young New York man was de-
spondent because Of his inability to
make friends. Well. this shows an abb
solute perverslon Of the proper idea Of
life Anybody who deliberately starts
out to make friends is awaiting bitter
experience. They cannot be made that
way. One may have acquaintances in
plenty, and not a single friend. Friends
come TO men when they least expect
them, and they are won, not by fat
terry, not by good-fellowship even, but
by worth and character. Had that young
man buckled down to business, had he
made OF himself a force in his sphere
performing all his obligations with A.
dellty. he would have had friends-and
enemies.
For q Is almost Impossible to have
one without the other our strongest
traits attract men 10 us. II is not only
our acts Of humility but those Of ag-
gresslon that give us our character.
These attract some while repelling
others. Happy is the man who allows
his judgment and his conscience to rule,
who goes ahead.

nRYAN,s oMINous rHREAr.

William Jennings Bryan has an
nounced his complete dissatisfaction
with the platform adopted by the New
York Democratic convention. and de-
elares his purpose to hire a hall IN Chi
cago and therein denounce that plat
form and It's candidate. He proposes to
outline what he regards as true Dem
ocratc platform and to suggest candi-
dates that could stand on II.
Conservative Democrats may sneer
at this threat. but It is the gravest
thing for them that has happened in
this campaign, and it presages certain
defeat FOR Parker or any other candi-
date like him. For Mr.. Bryan has a
host Of followers, and although they
have been somnolent, yet the orators
Of Bryan viii arouse them. There will
be a fight at the st. Louis convention
and though the conservatives shouit
prevail, yet the Bryauites will see tha'
the victory is rendered barren.
