DISCOURTESY TO COUNCIL
BY MISUNDERSTANDING
Discovery That City Clerk Failed to
Send Invitation to Salt Lake
Officials

Owing to a misunderstanding be-
tween the council and the city clerk a
discourtesy has been done the city
council of Salt Lake City.
Over a month ago the Los Angeles
council received a letter from the Nor
mon City stating that the council Of
that city would journey to Los Angeles
in celebration of the opening of the
Salt Lake road.
Councilman Smith moved that the
clerk be instructed to send an invita-
tion to the council of Salt Lake to visit
Los Angeles and assure them of a
hearty welcome. This motion was sec
onded by Councilman Healy and car
ried unanimously. Then the proposition
of entertainment came up and was re-
ferred to the finance committee to pro-
vide the funds necessary.
This caused a misunderstanding and
the city clerks force believed the entire
question had been referred to the
finance committee. That committee
has been waiting for further informa-
ton from Salt Lake.
Yesterday it was discovered that the
communication from the Salt Lake
council had never been answered. The
councilmen were indignant and five of
them went in a body to the clerks
office and demanded an explanation.
None was forthcoming and a series of
charges and countercharges were made
by the various clerks.
The councilmen at last decided that
the only thing to do is to make the best
of a bad deal and telegraph resolutions
to the Salt Lake council Immediately,
as the train bearing the Salt Lake
Legislators will leave that city Saturday.

DAUGHTER IS WITNESS
AGAINST HER FATHER
Well Known Engineer Before Insanity
Commission, but He Is
Set Free

Set Free
Surrounded by his wife and daugh-
ters, who were trying to send him to
an insane asylum and without a friend
to help him. Charles b. Lumsden, for
merly one of the best known engineers
in the country, yesterday faced the in
sanity commission in Judge Wilbur's
court and literally fought his way to
freedom with his clear reasoning ana
explanations.
The trial, however, proved a great
sorrow to the old man, and when his
daughter took the stand and testified
against him he broke down and sobbed
Lumsden was charged with being a
morphine fiend and with threaten
ing to burn down the little cottage
which served the family as a home.
Lumsden denied all the allegations
and stated that since his injury in a
big train wreck he had been unable
to do any hard work and that he had
resorted to the use of morphine to
soothe his shattered nerves. He de-
clared that he took only five grains a
day and physical examination of his
body was made by the physicians.
II do not believe that this man is
crazy" said Judge Wilbur II think
that he is, If anything, slightly affected
by the use of morphine, and 1 will dis
charge him.

Going through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serious opera
tions.
Why should this be the caseP Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Ovarian and womb troubles
are certainly on the increase among
the women of this country-they creep
upon them unawares, but every one of
those patients in the hospital beds had
plenty of warning in that bearing
down feeling, pain at left or right of
the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in
the small of the back, leucorrhoea, diz-
ziness, flatulency, displacements of the
womb or Irregularities. All of these
symptoms are indications of an un-
healthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and if not needed the penalty
has to be paid by dangerous operation.
When these symptoms manifest them
selves, do not drag along until you are
obliged to go to the hospital and sub
NIT to an operation Il but remember
that Lydia r. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved thousands OF
women from surgical operations

ing a gigantic scheme on the United
states government and have been Sc
curing free transportation back to the
Orient.
For some time cinnamon who have
claimed to be residents in this country
and to have their legal papers In the
case have been arrested and upon ar
raignment have failed to bring forth
their documents. In many cases, ac-
cording to residents of the local Chi
nese colony, these certificates have been
purposely torn up by their owners in
order that the government would be
compelled to pay the expense of trans
porting the Chinese back to the Orient.
How ScheH Is Worked
When a peddler or a laborer, or even
some member of the small merchant
societies, decides that he has earned
enough and wants to go back to China
and spend the remainder of his days
in peace and comfort, the authorities
say he has all his property converted
into money and secretes it on his per-
son. The sum is generally about $1,000,
which is the pinnacle of wealth to be
obtained by the humber classes. He
then goes out and has it rumored about
that he has no papers of admission to
this country and before many days
have passed some clever government
official has discovered him and placed
him under arrest.
Some argument is always given by
the captive, who is laughing in his
sleeve, and there is no alternative 9TH
er than to deport him. He then plays
the poor act and the government is
compelled to put up for him.
"Of course" said a well known local
Chinese, in speaking of the case, 1.-The
quarters aboard the ship are not very
pleasant, nor the food very good but
it is about on a par with the food the
Celestial generally gets in America, and
then there is large amount of money
saved, which is an incentive to the
act"

animation OF the Bank Of Pittsburg, North
Allegheny. found a discrepancy between the
reports made TO Comptroller OF the Cur
rency Ridgeley by the Bank Of Pittsburg.

closing of the latter institution.
Acting Attorney General Hoyt has
directed United States District Attorney
John Denkel to make a thorough investiga-
tion into the affairs OF the Enterprise Ma
tional bank. with a view to criminal pro-
ceedngs, II the evidence warrants such a
course. Mr.. Hoyt's order means that all

will be turned over at once to United States
District Attorney Denkel, and from now on
the legal representatives OF the federal gov
ernment will have charge of the case.
Comptroller Ridgeley has not arrived in the
