CONTRACT FOR INSPECTION
Resolution Will be Introduced To-
night to Employ Drs. Lang

At the council meeting tonight a resolu-
ton will be introduced to make con-
tract with DR.. Langfeldt and Or. Crowley
of Creighton Medical college to examine
milk, water, and all kinds of disease tubes
for 81 600 year. This was decided upon at
the council committee meeting Monday
afternoon instead of the proposition to In
stall laboratory and employ an expert
to run it, Another proposition was made
by the physicians to make tests of asphalt
at an additional price of $500, but City
Engineer Rosewater objected to this and
the council decided to allow the engineers
department to go ahead with these tests as
it has been doing.
c. c. Wright, Ex-Governor Boyd and
Secretary Koenig of the water board, asked
the committee to secure for the board
better lighted room for its office, so that
Mr. Koenig could spend all of his time
there and, beside answering questions re-
garding the water company, attend To his
own private business. The matter was
referred to a committee. The Water board
committee suggested that the treasurer $
office would about suit it after it had Sc
cured possession of the water plant.

Evading Pawnbroker Ordinance.

A new way of evadng the city ordinances
in the matter of reporting articles placed
in pawn, was discovered last night at the
police station. A man who gave his name
as John Doe, who was arrested at Thirty
drunk, had among his belongings an ac-
acknowledgement of a loan on ring and a
watch and chain to the amount of Sl5,
which loan expires during the first week
in January. Instead of the regular pawn
ticket of which stub records are kept ac-
cording to the city laws and open to daily
inspection by the police and detectives, this
Acknowledgement was written in the form
of a memorandum on the back of business
card bearing the name of Council Bluffs
pawnbroker. BY issuing these cards, with
no other signature. II has been possible for
the broker to receive property of which
there is no accounting to the police. 1t is
not known whether the pawn shops on this
side of the river use a similar ruse to evade
the ordinance or not. In some cases 1t has
been suspected.

jLD CHRISTMAS TRICK AGAIN
Strange Woman Works Jews'er by. Use Of
Repu abe Name.
GETS THREE STRINGS OF CORAL BEADS
Takes Them Across the street TO
Let "My Husband Make
Choice" and She Never
Returns.

BY her clever impersonaton of the wife
OF prominent citizen. a stylisnly dressed
woman came into possession of three beau
tiful strings of coral beads Saturday with
out depicting her Christmas purse, while
Albert Edholm, the jeweler, was made
poorer by $3.50.
The stranger entered Edholms store
about 2 o'clock Saturday al ,ernoon and
asked the girl at the counter to show her
some coral beads. She had the air of one
who is accustomed to buying all the
jewelry that strikes her fancy at any time
she peases, and her sealskn coat and
stylish gown added to the effectiveness OF
her bearing. She selected ., three, coral
in matter of fact way:
Such dear beads. | really don't know
which ones 1 want, If you don't mind, I'll
take them across the street to my husband
and well select one string and I'll bring
the others back in about half an hour. am
Mrs. E. ]. McVann. and my husband is
secretary of the Commercial club"
Works Like a Charm.
The girl at the counter went to the rear
of the store, where Mr.. Edholm was very
busy, and asked him If she should give
the beads to a woman who said shc was
Mrs. McVahn.
Certainly, let Mrs. Mcvann have them"
said Mr. Edholm.
! The woman took the beads without wait
/ ing to have them wrapped UP, and started
across Sixteenth street, toward the Com
mercial club. But she never returned.
Late at night Mr.. Edholm thought Of the
/ beads, but did not want to disturb Mrs.
! McVann at an unseemly hour.
| Monday morning he called Mrs VcVann
by telephone and asked her If she had de-
cided which string of beads she wanted
/ The question was Greek to Mrs. McVann
and an explanation followed on both Sides
the result of which went to show that Mrs
McVann had not been down town Saturday
Mr.. McVann was made acquainted with
the AFFAIR and 1t was reported to the police.
Description of Woman.
The girl who showed the beads gives a
pretty good description of the woman. She
was about feet inches in height weighed
about 100 pounds, wore a sealskin coat,
black skirt, gray gloves, black veil. and
either a green or blue velvet turban. Her
face was round. her eyes either dark gray
or brown. and her hair dark brown. Her
clothes were styIishly cut and all the little
accessories of dress We're of the latest
fashion. She was perhaps 50 years OF age.
Il think the woman took the beads be-
cause she wanted them for herself and not
to sell them" said Mr.. Edholn "She
evidently was a woman who does not want
for anything that money can buy. My loss
is small, but l hope her identity will be
discovered Tor the sake of future projection
Of other merchants. Such people make the
rounds of the stores, giving a different name
at each place"
