THE COUNTY PROBLEM

1t is about time for the farmers and labor unions to
be realizing the fact that small counties are tax upon
industry The smaller the county, the more will each
citizen be complied to pay maintain it, the larger the
less will be his tax
The present recording district are none large for
counties The farmers and labor unions control about
forty votes in the constitutional convention With this
as nuces it ought not be impossible to break the small
county slate fixed up by Haskell and his chief jumping

Far-sized counties and small taxes,et that be the
watchword

C0UNCILMEN SCAN BIDS
IN SEARCH OF SWINDLE
DOCKS EAGLE EYE DISCOVERS A
CLEW
Partly Erased Figures Gives Sixth
Warder an Opportunity of Arising
and Demanding Thorough and
Important Investigation

Dock Houghton believes he has UNI
covered swindle perpetrated on some
of his constituents in the Sixth ward.
but In this belief Dock stands alone.
This is through some figures that at
some time or other have evidently
been changed on the bid for the i'm
provement of Fifty-second street be-
tween Mckinley and Central avenues.
A number of property owners APP
peared before the council a week ago
to protest against the excessive cost
of the Improvement of this street. AS
there is no board of works now the
question was referred to the commit
tee of the whole and yesterday was re-
ferred back to the council.
The documents in the case were pre-
sented by the city clerk and one of
these was the bid of Cummings &
Drain, street contractors, to do the
work on F'ifty-second street. Hough-
ton examined the bid.
'Ha, ha," he cried, my fine micro
SCOPE eye has detected a very peculiar
situation in this bid. 1t is evident the
figures have been changed"
This statement brought consterna-
ton to the faces of the councilmen and
they crowded around the clerks table
to examine the question: BILE bid.
Uncle George Smith produced
pocket microscope and under this in
strument 1t was easily seen that some
figures had been written on the docu-
ment but later erased by some means
which Houghton declared to be acid
and other figures written thereon
In one case it was clearly seen that
the figures SO had been written over
the same figures that had been erased
This was the bid for curbing. The
figures $2.S71a for grading had evil
IDENTIFY been written over some other
figures that were too indistinct to be
deciphered with the small microscope
The signature of the contractors had
also been written over some previous
signature that had been erased.
These contractors were the only
ones to bid on this piece of work and
City Engineer Stafford declared the
cost to be excessive.
But all the other records showed that
the figures appearing on the bid were
the original figures submitted by these
contractors, and to the other members
Of the council. proved conclusively
that these figures had been changed be-
fore they had ever been submitted by
the contractors, thus relieving them of
the suspicion of tampering with the bid
after 1t had been accepted. Clerk
Wilde declared that many worse look
ing bids we're weekly submitted.
Houghton commended that It was IL
legal to change the figures on bids at
any time and for his satisfaction the
question was referred to the city at
torney and the city engineer.

PAINTINGS OF DOCK ARE
BROUGHT TO CLOSE
COUNCIL PLACES TIME LIMIT ON
SPEECHES
Sixth Warder Will No Longer Be AL
lowed to lnflict Meaningless Ora
lions Upon His Brother Coun=
cilmen

No more will the rantings of Dock
Houghton interrupt the peaceful medi-
tations of the city council No more
will the progress of the citys business
be delayed by eruptions from the pink
topped Vesuvius of the Sixth ward, for
through a new rule adopted by the
council yesterday no member of that
body may speak more than twice on
any one subject, nor more than five
minutes at a time, unless by majority
consent of the council
This rule was adopted for no other
purpose than to keep Houghton down
to reasonable limits. The Sixth ward
disturber has acquired a habit of
pickering over petty affairs and some
times takes up fifteen or twenty min
utes over the simple reference of a
question to a committee.
No one ever pays the slightest at
tention to his rantings and the orig
inal purpose is carried, although
Houghton may rave and tear large
holes in his roseate name. The Dock
sometimes pursues these tactics TO
such an extreme that 1t is o'clock be-
fore the council has a chance to adj
journ, while otherwise it might have
finished it's business before A o'clock,
as Is nearly always the case when
Houghton is absent.
Takes Advantage of Absence
The council took advantage of
Houghton's absence from the council
room yesterday-he was in the office
of the city attorney preparing a mi
nority report to something he OBJ
jected to-and when he returned the
new rule had become a case of record.
Houghton learned about 1t a minute
after his return and was furious.
II want 1T distinctly understood that
/ do not consider myself bound by such
rule he said to the council. Il will
take the time between 10 o'clock Mon
day morning and o'clock Monday
evening. divide that time by nine and
consider myself entitled to one-ninth.
Let me call your attention to the
fact that there is provision in the
charter of this city making IL possible
for the president to declare you In
contempt if you do not abide by council
rules and fining YOU $780," said Coun.
Gilman Smith.
This evidently had Statutory effect
on Houghton. for when he next arose
to speak he held his watch i'm his hand
and did not even use the five minutes

ASYLUM ENDS
TRAGIC CAREER
MRS. HOWARD WILL TAKE THE
REST CURE
Eastern Woman, Prey to Decisions,
Imaelnes She Is Being Pursued,
and Doctors Commit Her
to Refuge

Assisted by two nurses and barely
able to walk. little Mrs Gertrude
Hamilton Howard. who attempted to
commit suicide at her home on North
Hope street last Wednesday by leaping
from a second story window, appeared
before Judge Gibbs in department two
of the superior court yesterday and
was ordered committed to Patton in
sane asylum.
According to the statements of rel
atives the young woman's life has
been one long story of tragedy.
Several years ago she announced to
her mother that she had married
Charles Howard an actor, and that IL
wasn't anybody's affair but her own.
The family tried to make inquiries, but
the daughter refused to give any ex-
plantations and left home saying she
was going away with her husband.
But her welded life was evidently
fraught with unhappiness, for when she
again returned to her mother she
stated that she had been divorced and
that she could never live with her
husband again.
Comes With Baby
She had her little baby with her and
her mother thought that with the lit
tie one to care for her daughter would
not be so unhappy.
But according to the testimony of
Mrs. Pond, the mother, Mrs. Howard
had labored under Authorizations and
constantly imagined that someone was
attempting to arrest her.
although we made II as nice as
possible for Gertrude at home" testi-
fed Mrs. Pond yesterday. she re-
fused to be quiet. on one occasion she
dashed from her room, screaming
that there was a detective locked in
her closet and that he was going to
kill her. 1t proved hallucination, but
the girl was i'll for several days as a
result of it.
mot long ago she came home in a
condition of pitiable fright. "Oh, man.
ma" she said, they are coming to ar
rest me; 1 must get away
Il told her that if she had done any
thing wrong she must go to the Off
GERS and explain it and that she mustn't
come home until she did. The next
morning while l was dressing her lit
tie daughter, the baby suddenly
screamed and as 1 turned l saw my
daughter slashing at her wrists |
screamed for help and two men came
to my assistance.
Slashes Her Throat
Then my daughter was slashing at
her throat and when the men took the
knife away from her she dashed to
the bathroom, locked the door and
jumped out of the window. An officer
captured her and she was taken to the
county hospital, where she has since
been"
Mrs. Howard refused to state why
she jumped from the window or why
she attempted to commit suicide.
Il was in danger of arrest and per-
secution," she said, land l felt that
ought not burden my family with my
troubles, SO L tried to kill myself"
After a brief consultation between
Drs. Trueworthy and Boynton and
Judge Gibbs. it was decided to send
Mrs. Howard to the asylum for the
rest cure
