There were certain members OF the circle who
said they thought things looked that way when
they saw the empty chairs at the public meeting

explanation.

killing; her marriage to young TeFranOva; how he
learned Of her former relations with her uncle and
finally her off; her rage against her aunt and
uncle and how finally, in At of temporary In
sanity she killed her uncle and aunt not realizing
the crime she was committing. but merely seeking
revenge for the wrong that had been done to her.

jog to the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment It is the first time on record that the
Board of Health has used such a lever on so ex-
tensive a plan 20 force an appropriation OF the
city's money for sanitary work.
While William McAdoo was Police CoTnmis-
sioner he tried vainly to have the city authOri-
ties appropriate money for a general Tenova-
ton Of the police stations He wanted better
accommodations for the policemen and for the
prisoners His newly published book has a chap
ter on "unsanitary station houses declaring
that the prisons in the police stations are dis
grace TO the city. adding:
In some instances they are heated by stoves
in winter. which give out a poisonous coal gas,

Mr. McAdoo wanted shower baths for the po-

their comfort. He was instrumental in having
model plans drawn for new police headquarters
and for new station in the Tenderloin. which
being erected.
General Bingham recently asked for an appro-
priation Of $2.000,O00 for sanitary renovation
and repairs OF the police stations, but the Board
OF Estimate granted only S125000 AS Police
CommiSsioner. General Bingham is a member
Of the Board Of Health. Almost soon as he
was informed of the refusal to give s., 100000
for sanitary work in the police stations ne went
off on vacation.
The announcement that the Board of Health
had condemned the police stations came as
shock to other city authorities yesterday. No
action by the Board OF Estimate is expected be-
fore General Bingham returns, as il is presumed
that the Board Of Health will fix limit of time
within which the police stations will have to be
repaired or vacated The repairs which the
Board Of Health will insist on having made are
expected to cost the city quite S2,OO0O00 The
buildings condemned are Police Headquarters
and thirty-two precinct stations.
