Side of the House Present
Speaker Cannon Presides.

One of the most beautifully appointed din
ners of the season thus far was given last
night at the Raleigh by Representative Nc
Kinley Of Ohio, treasurer for the republican
congressional campaign committee, in honor
of Chairman Sherman, Vice Chairman Taw-
ney and Secretary Loudenslager of that
committee, to which Mr.. Mckinley invited
eighty guests, including prominent officials
and statesmen. Throughout the dinner and
it's setting were suggestive of the late cam
paign and the republican victory to which
the host and his guests of honor contributed
so sgnally. The speeches of the evening
rang with party loyalty and although the
note of triumph was dominant. there was
an undertone of seriousness and admonition
which apparently was not lost upon the
company.

DENIED BY OFFICIALS
HEALTH OFFICE STATEMENT RE-
GARD1NG SHOWS COURT.
Charge Made That Typhoid Fever
Case Was Unattended Declared
to Be Incorrect.

Officials Of the District building declared
today that a statement made in an evening
paper last night to the effect that a case of
typhoid fever had been reported to the
health office several months ago, and that
II was permitted to remain exposed and I'M
attended, was not only untrue. but was
without foundation. They also declared
that the criticism was uncaled for in view
of the fact that the present force of the
health office inspectors Is inadequate to
properly investigate the so-called slum con-
ditions. The Commissioners and have
been aware of this drawback, and have re-
peatedly asked Congress for an appropria-
ton to increase the force of inspectors.
When this appropriation is obtained. and
IL is hoped it will be soon. house-to-house
inspections can be made almost daily, and
satisfactory conditions can be established
The object of attack by the evening paper
which has called for such emphatic denials
is an alley situated between / and X
street and 2ith and 18th street northwest.
and is known as SHOWS court. Dr. Wood
ward. health officer. does not contend that
this alley or court Is not insanitary. In
fact. he considers IL one of the worst
blotches in the District; but the offfcials be-
lieve that false ground has been taken
by this evening paper regarding the Rey-
holds report, the latter has not been
officially issued yet and they consider
the GrftlclSn oil tnelr Work rather harsh.
Statement by DR.. Woodward.
In reporting upon the criticism to Com
missioner Mcfarland this morning Health
Officer Woodward stated that he personally
visited Shows court yesterday afternoon
with one of his inspectors, and among the
fifty residences In the court he found one
obstructed closet. one INSTRUCTED sewer and
one residence without sewerage at all. In
several instances, however, he found water
pipes leaky and paving around the yard
drains defective. which conditions are con-
sdered unhealthy. He said the most prev
alent form Of nuisance was dirty yards and
filthy conditions of the houses inside In
one shack he found young children playing
about a dirty, oily floor. and they did not
have on clothing sufficient to keep them
warm. This case was reported to the
board of chldren's guardians for appro-
pirate treatment.
Regarding the typhoid fever cases which
the health office is alleged to have per-
mitted to exist without treating or investi-
eating, DR.. Woodward made the following
report
Neither the records of the health de-
partment nor most careful inquiry among
residents of the alley disclosed any evil
dence of a case of typhoid fever having
occurred there during the past summer.
The records of the health department do
show that during 1865 a case of typhoid
fever occurred at al Shows court. This

case HTst came TO the attention OF the
health department August IA, 1905, when
application was made for burial permit,
the patient having died on August IL, under
the care of DIR. R. S. Blackburn.
Reported to Health Officer.
1.-THE case was formally reported to the
health department by the physician on
August 16, and was investigated by DR..
j. l.. Riggles, one of the medical inspec-
tors of the department, on the following
day. AS this is presumably the case to
which the editorial refers, it is important
to note that a careful examination of the
records OF written and oral complaints filed
with the health department fails to show
any record of the condition of these prem
Uses or of the existence of sickness there.
other than the report of the case of typhoid
fever above mentioned, having been
brought to the attention of the health de-
partment during June, July and August
1908, through any agency whatsoever. The
absence of such record makes it practically
certain that no such complaint was ever
filed.
The premises on which this case of
typhoid fever existed are the only premises
in the square not connected with the pub
lie sewer. For these unconnected premises
no public sewer and no public water main
are lawfully available, and therefore the
health department has been and Is unable
to require sewer and water connections to
be made
Difficulties in the Way.
DR.. Woodward concluded his report by
saying: t is manifest that it is impossible
for the health department, with the general
press of work done by 1t arising through
complaints, to keep Shows court and other
similar places at all times in good condi-
tion. The occupants of Shows court belong
very generally to that class whose mem
bers will not complain of one another's
premises on the principle that the pot
may not call the kettle black, and there
fore Shows court and similar localities can
not be kept in good condition unless the
heath department is provided with a suf-
ficient force to enable 1t not only to look

OREGON IN BAD SHAPE.

The visit of the battleship Oregon to
Hongkong, it is stated at the Navy De-
partment, was for the purpose of going
into drydock for repairs and had no
connection with threatened disturbances
in China. This action was based on a
report made by Read Admiral Train,
commanding the Asiatic station, to the
effect that the Oregon would not be
able to reach Honolulu on her own sup
ply of fuel unless locked before the
voyage. The Oregon will proceed at
once to San Francisco and later will go
to Puget Sound, and there be surveyed
in anticipation of extensive alterations,
which may require period of year
or two years. Washington Star.

HURST MAKES.
PROPOSE

The Hurst Automatic Switch e
Sognal Co. is a modest little con-
Germ with only $10,0O0,000 of capital
stock, divided into 100000 shares,
and it offers the modest proposition
of the 100000 club that 1t will To-
cate factory here if Spokane citi-
zens will subscribe for $5OO,0
worth of stock.
The stock is now being sold at
$3.50 a share, but intending pur-
chasers are warned to get under
the umbrella before the rain begins
by being tod that on June 1st the
stock will be advanced. The stock
is sold on the installment plan in
lots of one share up.
The agents OF the company was
a working man once and Is anxious
that the workingmen shall have a
chance to get it,"
The company Is in possession of
a number Of patents for automatic
switches and other contrivances to
do away with railroad wrecks. 1t

was organized in Portland a few
years ago and came to Spokane asst
fall. The local agents assert that
they have disposed of $4,000 worth
OF stock since they have been here.
In his address to the 10000 club
G. M. Hurst. the head of the COM
pany and the inventor, said that il
they would locate their plant here
they would turn out $4,000 of the
automatic switches a year. The
switches are to be sold for $500
each. This would leave the stock
holders net profit of about $6,0OO.-
900 according to Mr.. Hurst's fig
ures.
The switch appears to be a good
thing, but the skeptical are wonder
ing why the railroad companies are
not tumbling over themselves to
buy this stock, if it is such a good
thing.
The committee of the $50. 900
club is investigating the concern.

JOHN CORT
IN SPOKANE

John Cort, the manager Of the
Northwestern Theatrical associa-
ton, is in Spokane today. Mr.. Cort
is here to decide upon the location
Of an Orpheum theatre. An option
has been secured upon the Audito-
rum theatre or 100000. This OPP
ton will either be taken up or a
theatre built.
Mr.. Cort has just returned from
New York, where he attended the
formation of the big theatrical mer-
ger. The Northwestern Theatrical
association has combined with the
Silver Circuit with headquarters at
Denver. The two associations con-
troll nearly every theatre northwest
of Colorado.
While in the East Mr.. Cort made
arrangements for a splendid line of
attractions at the Spokane theatre
next season.
