people intent upon the purchase OF

PURE FOOD.
NOW AN Eff
Night WI One Dissenting Voiee-New


The Pure Food Ordinance has pass
ed. Henceforth Canon City people will
have a definite idea OF what they are
eating and will be safe in the protec-
ton OF the new measure. The ordin-
ance, as originally drafted, and as pub
lished in The Record. went through
Monday night with but one dissenting
vote. This was the ballot of Alderman
Lnkins who was unalterably opposed
to the measure. He looks upon the
minimum license fee placed upon
grocers and meat dealers as a tax and
does not think 1t i, is equitable.
There will be some slight amend
ments In the ordinance unless the al
dermen change their minds. Before the
vote on passage was taken last night
q straw vote was taken to get the at
utude of members on the proposed
amendments. There are three Of these.
One eliminates the clause which gives
the Food Inspector the power to close
q place OF business where unsan!tary
conditions are found. Another Is that
portion forbidding the sale OF fowls
that have not been drawn" after being
killed The last reduced the amount
OF licenses little more than one half.
The ordinance. however. was passed in
It's original form
1t will go into effect the first OF the
year. Richard Houle was appointed
food inspector. There were two can
didates, he and Wilson Pearson. The
vote stood Ave to three In favor OF
Houle. The new inspector has promis-
ed to serve two months without sal
ary, in order to thoroughly famaliarize
himself with the duties OF his ONCE.
He will go to Denver and Pueblo and
inspect the methods used by the gov
ernment oficials there. He will go In
after the technical end OF the work.
and will ascertain how to make tests
for tuberculosis and other diseases OF
cattle. He promises to give the once
all the time 1t demands and TO do all In
his power to enforce the provisions OF
the ordinance. He will be paid salary
of $50 per month.
The ordinance was not passed hast
lily. There was much discussion before
the final vote was taken. Two butch
ers. Sam Wright and John +. Maher,
we're present. MIR. Wright made an in
structive and reasonable talk. He said
butchers were not entirely without
honor and were willing to cooperate
as much as possible with :he city Of
Hciais In the Interest OF pure food.
He objected to the provision for the
drawing of poultry. claiming that
the flesh kept better II the viscera Is
not taken out This. he said. was the
experience Of all large shippers and
was taken as authority all over the
country. All he asked was n square
deal from n competent inspector.
Mr.. Maher was more strenuous. He
upbraided council for not looking after
alleys better, suggested that dry
town should have a better water ays-
tem and finally stated that he would
not pay for inspection until forced to
do 70 by law. You've got To show me,
he concluded. after Mayor Seely had
mildly called him down and reminded
him that the city oficials would try
to run things without his assistance
He was assured, also. that his license
would be collected when the ordinance
becomes effective. Mr.. Maher insisted
that the occasional inspection by state
oficials was enough. His violent atti-

Special to The Journal.

Tallahassee, Apr 16.-The feature
in the house this morning was the
consideration OF the messages from
Governor Broward vetoing certain
bills passed during the last session,
which vetoes were filed after adjourn
ment with the secretary of state as
required by the constitution and by
him transmitted to the house.
The first bill taken up was the one
directing that the moneys in the In
ternal Improvement Fund be turned
over to the state treasurer and put
under the protection of his official
bond, to the credit of the board of
trustees of the Internal Improvement
Fund. The governor discusses at
length what he considers powers of
the board under the act of 1855,
which brought a long speech from
Mr.. MacWilliams, of st. Johns. Mr..
Reese, of Escambia, asked that con-
sideration be postponed until the
members had time to familiariZe
themselves with the message, and on
motion OF Mr.. Watson, of Dade, the
message was made the special order
for Wednesday OF next week at IL
a. m.
All of the other vetoes were sus-
tanned, the only opposition being 5
votes cast in favor of the vetoed
bin providing for. the. examination by
the State auditor of the accounts or
the trustees since January l, 1899,
the governors reasons being that it
was too limited.
In the upper house Senator Cones
resolution to appoint a committee to
inspect the states property at Lake
City, the abandoned university prop
erty, was reconsidered and passed by
a vote of Is to II. Senator Hudson
introduced a bill to create Palm
Beach county.

NEGRO HELD ON
- FORGERY CHARGE
Chas. D. Oliver Given Preliminary
Trial and is Committed on
Bond of $1,000.

Chas D. Oliver, the negro who last
week was arrested for forgery and Sc
curing goods by false pretenses. was
given a trial yesterday afternoon be-
fore Judge Nicholson and held to the
criminal court upon a bond of $1,000,
which he could not furnish.
Oliver is the negro who is alleged
to have swindIed a number of stores
in the city by representing himself
over the telephone as being prOmi-
nent business men and ordering a
small quantity of goods sent to the
house, which he would designate, and
also change for SO. When the mes
senger with the goods arrived at the
home of the party whose name had
been furnished it is alleged that
Oliver would appear at the gate and
take the goods as well as change,
handing the messenger a check for
$40.
All of the messengers and delivery
boys who delivered goods and re-
ceived checks upon the night in ques-
ton identified Oliver as the party TO
whom they had been delivered.

.EX. 6OV'R. BLACK
To DEFEND THAW
Reported that Mother of the
Prisoner Has Engaged
Him to Take Lead.
BY Associated Press.

New York, April I6.-Harry X.
Thaw finds himself today in rather
unsettled state, legally speaking, Judg-
ing from present circumstances.
There is considerable speculation as
to who his counsel viii be in his next
trial and almost as much as to
whether tentative plans TO have him
released on bail will be successful. 1t
is considered significant that Daniel
O'Reilly, of his counsel, in having the
clerk of the criminal branch Of the
supreme court look up in the court S
safe all the exhibits produced at the
trial. took a step which would natural
ly be the part of an attorney OF
record. This followed a consultation
between O'Reilly and the prisoner
and it is said to have been done with
the prisoners written authority. 1t
is also deemed significant that, OF all
Thaw's counsel, only Messrs. O'Reiily
and A. Russell Peabody have visited
him in the Tombs lately. Notwitn-
standing this, and Mr.. O'Reilly practi-
cally acting as spokesman for Thaw,
the prisoners mother, is directing the
choice of counsel and it is said she
has asked former Governor Frank s.
Black to assume full charge of the
defense at his second trial. 1nen
again it is reported that Lionel
Adams, a prominent Louisiana lawyer
or William Rand, Jr., ex-assistaut dis
trict attorney, will take that place.
The matter of bail for Thaw is
being held in allegiance by Mr..
O'Reilly He is waiting until District
Attorney Jerome returns from Lakes
vile, Conn, his country home, tomOr-
row. They are to talk the subject
over, but the district attorney has al
ready said publicly that he viii vigor
ously oppose any effort looking TO
bail for Thaw 1t is probable that,
falling of Justice FitZgerald's consent
to release Thaw on bail, the defense
VIII apply to some other Supreme
Justice in this state.
1t is stated that after District At
torney Jerome returns tomorrow and
the question of bail is discussed with
him, the entire Thaw family, with
the exception of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, will leave New York. The
Countess of Yarmouth will sail for
England; Mrs. William Thaw will go
to Crescent, Pa; Josiah and his wife
will go to Watch Cliff, r. l., and Mr..
and Mrs. George Carnegie will make
q tour of the south.
Evelyn NesbiJ Thaw will continue
to live at the Lorraine.

EAST HILL CAR

ENGINE
Trolley Wheel Jumped and
Left Electric Car Stand
ing on the Track.

An electric car running on the East
Hill line was struck Oy switch engine
No. yesterday afternoon at the cor
ner Of Wright and Hayne streets and
the rear portion of the car damaged
TO a considerable extent. The cause
of the collision was the jumping of
the trolley wheel which left the
street car standing mOtionless and
not quite clear of the switch engine.
The street car was coming towards
the city and contained a number of
passengers. AS il passed over the
tracks OF the Louisville & Nashville
the wheel jumped from the trolley
when the Car was about in the center
of the track and while II rolled a
short distance it came TO a stop near
the edge of the track upon which an
engine with a long string of empty
cars was to pass. The engineer saw
deavored TO bring his train to a stop,
but he could not do so in time to pre-
vent striking the end of the street
car, tearing away a portion of 1t.
The blow was not sufficient to
KNOCK the car from the track, and the
passengers did not move from their
seats, although switchmen endeavored
to warn them, fearing that the car
might be overturned.
The switch engine proceed on to
the shops with the cars, while the
street car was taken to the street
car barns for repairs.
