on the part of the public.

The Spokane board of health and
local physicians are at outs over
failure of the latter to report ty-
phoid cases as the state law re-
quires.
Some days ago all hospitals Of
the city were requested by the
board to report their typhoid cases
and what doctors were in attend
ance. Returns showed several
cases of which doctors in charge
had failed to make reports to the
health department. The depart
ment has taken the matter up di-
rect with the negligent doctors.
If physicians from now on fail
to report typhoid cases it is an
nounced that arrests and prosecu-
tons will follow.
The state law requiring that the
health department shall be notified
was passed March 10, 1903. 1t pro-
vided a penalty of $25 to 800 or
80 days in the county Jail, or both,
for violations.

Used me that the Howard street
crossing will be fixed up immediate
ly," said Commissioner ONO this
morning. New signal blocks will
be put in and kept in order"
After playing football with
street car on the Howard street
crossing, the Northern Pacific
seems inclined to consider the
city's mild request of months ago
that ordinary precautions be taken
to avoid accidents at the crossing.
No compulsion has been used, of
course. The railroad Is willing to
make some sort of repara ton for
taking such liberties with a w. w.
P. street car. All of which lifts q
vast burden from the commission
er's backs for an unprotected rail-
road crossing in the heart of the
city is matter of some concern to
folks in Office. But If the COM
pany won't pay any attention to po-
lite requests regarding the matter,
what can the poor commissioners
do?
Merely fold their arms and wait,
apparently, until something hap
pens, meanwhile hoping that it
won't be very serious. Fortunately,
yesterdays collision falls in the
latter category, through no care of
the Northern Pacific nor the city.
This seems to be the sort Of
policy to be expected in Spokane

Here Is a glimpse of Marian
Churchill, the women who started
an investigation at Mare Island
navy yard that has resulted In the
dismissal of Z. H. Dunn after a
sensational court martial. Her de-
sire for social recognition led her
to expect and demand too much
from the officers who were willing
to jeopardize their standing In the
navy in order to please her. When
she became too importunate for so
cial favors she was snubbed and
then the trouble began. She re-
taliated with some choice stories of
the doings of the navy set, and, it
is claimed, Lieutenant Dunn was
selected by his brother officers as
scapegoat. Stories Of Marian
Churchill's visit to lieutenant
Dunn's stateroom and of how she
was entertained on board the In
dependence were told at the trial,
as was also the story of the dis
covery of the gay Marian's switch
on a dressing table in the lieuten-
ants state-room, mingling its dark
strands with lot Of champagne
corks and bottles. 1t Is said~that
Lieutenant Dunn, If he so chose
could involve number of brother
officers in as serious trouble as his
own, but that he prefers to spare
the navy the additional disgrace.
