All men have the same Godgiven
sense of smell, the poor toiler in
Peaceful Valley and his more aristo-
cratic brother on Fifth avenue. This
fact has been strenuously impressed
upon the health board recently. 1t
has been the aristocratic brother who
dwells in the neighborhood of Fifth
and Madison who has made the most
recent demonstration in the health
boards direction.
For a week complaints have been
pouring in upon the health Office

OF THE
MURDER OF STOTKO

In dragnet haul made by the police department
last night in its effort to round up all suspicious
characters, who might by any possibility have been
connected with the Stotko murder, four men were
thrown into the city baste who will be required to
give strict account.
They are George Upton, performer, aged %;
John Oleson, warehOuseman, p years of age; John
Ellsworth, alias James Dawson alias Boston Jimmy,
recently released from Deer Lodge penitentary in
Montana; Frank Lawer alias Thomas Florence,
in the county Jail charged with robbng the postoce
at Cunningham, WASH
The first three were arrested after 8 a. m. this
morning by Detectives Hendon and Briley, Officer
H. G. Rolf and Sergeant Sullivan. They are simply
suspicious characters in the eyes of the police. No
evidence exists against them yet. There some
suspicious circumstances which these men will be
required to explain. They will be compelled to ex-
plain their movements the night of the murder and
establish an alibi.
Oleson is warehouseman and is thought to have
once been in the employ of the Booth N[cClintock
company However, this fact remains to be establish
ed.
The men had nothing of suspicious character
about their persons when arrested and what
pcious circumstances surround the men, if any, the
police refuse to state.
In view of the reward that has been offered for the
Stotko murderers, every man with record or about
whom there is the slightest suspicion will be COM
PEELED to explain his actions upon the night of the
killing.

and will not return. He states
that when he left Cleveland,
Okla, on last Monday there were
ten men for every job. The des-
titution there at present among
oil field laborers who had fiocked
there with the expectation of get
ting work was beyond descrip-
ton. Mr.. Dalton states he met
many practical drillers and tool
dressers there from the West Vir-
ginia and Ohio oil fields who were
broke and unable to secure work
of any kind. They were begging
and sleeping in boiler houses, and
the suffering and exposure that
some of them were compelled to
endure was pitiable in the ex-
