Mayor Determined to Enforce Just Weights

BOUND TO BREAK UP SYSTEM OF FRAUD

CreduIOua Public.

Following his determination to insure
the Weighing of all ice deliveries and to
secure full measure for what consumers
pay, Mayor Dahlman has begun verttable
crusade to stop. petty cheating in all kinds
OF retail commerce, including milk, cream
and meat. He has held several conferences
with Inspector of Weights and Measures
Pegg and an investigation is said to be
under way that may reveal some astonish-
ing facts when completed and the findings
given to the newspapers.
When Councilman Brucker introduced
resolution in the council some weeks ago
asking the public to take evidence and
report all cases OF suspected short weight

came from few Individual complaints and
was not founded on generally substantial
grounds. Mayor Dahlman has become In

slight for proving an ice trust. has devoted
his attention to insuring full weights and
the actual placing OF the product on scales
before delivery. 1t was found that great
proportion of the ice delivered to resi-

The announcement that the mayor was
having an ordinance prepared to cover the
point and 70 hold the employe and en-
ployer equally responsible caused ice deal
ers to hurry post haste TO the executive
chambers and protest that such legislation
would ruin their business. Talk OF this
kind merely settled the determination OF
the mayor 70 carry out the course he had
planned and the ordinance was introduced
at the last council meeting and stands ex-
eellent chances OF passing. Not only does
Il require ice 20 be weighed, but all com

ing wood. coal, fruits and foodstuns' to
be either weighed or measured as the
case may be.
Then last sunday the Inspector OF weights
and measures found eight out OF seventeen
foe scales belonging TO the Omaha Ice and
Cold Storage company TO be defective.
They weighed less than they purported 70
and some were fixed with two indicators
on opposite sides, one weighing correctly
and the other several pounds short. The
ice company protested that these could
not be facts, and even called in It's at
torney. but a demonstration at the city
hall terminated the objections quickly and
decisively.
Many short Measures.

are multitudes OF short milk measures In

OAKLAND HAS BIG CHINATOWN.
Ten Thousand ceIestiaIs Find Quar-.
ters Across the Bay.

Oakland. Cal, Oct. 3.-Ten thousand
Chinese, nearly every one of them
having crossed the bay since the fire,
low occupy homes in Oakland's new
Chinatown, which has sprung up along
First, Third and Fourth streets, be-
tween Alice and Webster
Scarcely a day passes when a permit
is not sought at the city hall for the
erection of a frame building, not ex-
ceeding $500 to s400 in cost A major
ity of these buildings are for stores in
which a room or two is apportioned for
dodgers.
A notable exception is the $4,000
frame structure at Eighth and Harri-
son. on the edge of the old Chinatown,
and which is said to be intended for a
theater. License Inspector Conley
looks on the Chinese as fair source
of revenue to the city, and estimates
that there will be $4,000 of them in
side Of year if the present increase
is sustained. They are gradually
spreading beyond the ample boundar-
les allotted thea, and may extend 10
the old settlement.

-corteIyou May Change.

Washington, D. c., Oct 3.-Two re
tirements from the Presidents cabinet
are slated for the coming winter They
are those of Attorney General Moody
whose resignation will become effective
abesut the first Of December, and that
of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
who, according to present intentions
will retire in February. For one of the
vacancies to be created, the president
will nominate George " l.. Meyer
American ambassador to Russia, but
for the other he Is not yet ready to an.
nounce a successor.
Mr.. Roosevelt has sought to prevail
on Attorney General Moody to remain
in the cabinet, but the latter, because
of business arrangements he has made
has found it impossible to do so. He
would like to have Secretary Bona
parte take Mr.. Moody's place when the
latter retires, but the former prefers
the position at the head of the navy de-
partment, with whose workings he has
become thoroughly familiar.
Some suggestion has been made that
Secretary Metcalf Of the department OF
commerce and labor take one of the
positions to be made vacant in the pro
posed shifting of cabinet officers, but
he also has expressed preference tc
remain where he is.

PARKER SCORES HEARST
Gives Out Statement Defending
Courts From Editor.

New York, Oct. 3.--Judge Alton B.
Parker last night gave out a state
ment in reply to an attack made upon
him by William R. Hearst in recent
campaign speech. In his address
Hearst said Parker had appeared In
an election case on the side of election
criminals in the court he formally
graced, and there argued and secured
a reversal of an opinion he had former
ly rendered.
Parker says in his statement that
he has fr years submitted without
reply to Hearst's wanton assaults"
and would not now pay any attention
to his Insulting and maliciously false
speech were it not from the infer
ence that the speech constituted an at
tack upon the court While that court
needs no defense, Parker says IAN op-
portunity is afforded to warn the peo-
pie that man having such concep-
tions Of the judiciary as will permit
him to make such an attack, ought
never be permitted to name men for
the bench. as 1t is said Hearst con-
templates doing under the Murphy

"AL" ADAMS NOT sulcIDEa
Coroner Is Not Convinced that There
Was No Foul Play.


Was No Foul Play.
New York, Oct. 3.-Coroner Harbur-
ger yesterday gave an intimation that
he was not convinced that the death
of "Al" Adams, the former policy king,
was case of suicide. The coroner
said:
"The police and all the witnesses to
the death Of Adams believe he COM
mitted suicide, but the position in
which found his body, lying over a
chair and the head resting near Gus
pidor, leads me to believe that there
might have been foul play
Il am in doubt as to the motive for
a man Of such wealth to take his life.
The force of the shot penetrated the
forehead and the ball hit the door, i'm
beding itself in the wall. This shows
how powerful the shot was that ended
his life. II is supposed that he got out
Of bed at 7:45 a. m. Generally people
do not commit suicide when they rise
from slumber."
