LITTLE TYPHOID
IN Los ANGELES
CITY PRACTICALLY FREE FROM
DISEASE
CLEANLY METHODS IN FORCE
Health officer Or. l. M. Powers Says
Good Record Is Due to Pure
Water and MIX In
u as7t
9segs spectlon

Los Angeles, as one of the large
municipalities of the United States
stands we'll at the head of the list OF
cities having a low typhoid fever death
rate and the steady growth in popula-
tion does not carry with it a proper
tional increase In the number of cases
This, in effect. is the statement made
yesterday by Health officer DR.. L. NJ.
Powers.
From December 1, 1904, to August 81,
1905, the number of cases reported to
the department has been 1853, of which
forty have resulted fatally. For the
month just passed thirteen cases were
reported as against an equal number
for August of the preceding year.
"Our death rate from typhoid fever
persons" said DR.. Powers yesterday,
"and many of the cases with which the
city Is accredited are brought here
from the country and other towns and
cities. This is especially true of the
cases which are reported from the
county hospital.
''In my opinion the disease in a ma
jority of instances is contracted by
persons who come from outside the
city. or who have come in contact with
it there and brought it to Los Angeles.
"The city's good record is due to the
purity of its water supply, the inspec-
tion of milk and the care which Is re-
ceived by patients.
1.-THE death rate from the disease was
much larger in Los Angeles some years
ago and there was larger number Of
cases. This was directly traceable
to the fact that many truck gardeners
irrigated their gardens with city sew
age The fruit and vegetables were
then sold in the city and where eaten
in an uncooked state there was very
large possibility of contracting typhoid.
Happily this condition of affairs has
been practically done away with"
ITO some extent city sewage is still
used for irrigation, but only in few
instances and a stop is quickly put
to 1t as soon as tne health department
is able to act.
1.-THE population of the city is in
creasing rapidly but for the past two
years the number of typhoid cases has
remained practically the same, show
ing that there is really diminution in
the disease"

CHAMBERMAlD STEALS
CLOTHING OF GUESTS
Pretty Miss M. Porter Acknowledges
Her Guilt and Is Indifferent
to Her Fate


Miss M. Porter, pretty 17-year-o
girl, is being held at the city Jail on a
charge of petit larceny 1t is alleged
that she stole clothing valued at SIS
from guests of the hotels where she has
been employed.
Miss Porter was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Detectives Smith ard
Dixon at the Broadway hotel, where
she has been employed as chamber
maid for two days. Some of the stolen
articles were found in her room, while
she was wearing others. Miss Porter
says she came to Los Angeles from San
Bernardino three weeks ago and was
employed at the Ottawa hotel until
Monday, when she secured a position
at the Broadway hotel.
The young girl was first suspected
three weeks ago, when Mrs H. 3.
White of the Ottawa hotel reported 10
the police that several articles of wear
ing apparel had been stolen from her
room. A close watch was kept on the
girl by the detectives until she went to
the Broadway hotel, but evidence suffi-
cient to convict her could not be OBJ
tanned.
When the detectives went to the hotel
yesterday afternoon they called Miss
Porter to her room and a thorough
search was made. Several of the miss.
ing articles were found and she con-
fessed that she was wearing others.
She was taken to the police station and
given into custody Of the matron.
When questioned by the detectives
she refused to assign any reason for
stealing the clothing, but promptly an
swered all questions as to where the
stolen property could be found. Sh Z
disposed of none of the articles but had
them packed away in trunk and suit
case. She said she came to Los Angeles
seeking work and she seemed indiffer-
ent as to the charge against her.
