HEALTH BOARD
ON WARPATH

The board OF health meeting In
Mayor Moore's Office last night de-
cided to address the city council
on the needs of new buildings at
the isolation hospital. The board
was wrathy because the council re-
ferred the boards request for an
appropriation of $4,000 to the
sewer committee. Just why this
committee, the boards wants to
know. 1t wants also to know II it
has been insulted. This sewer
committee business is a polite"
way the council has Of letting peo-
pie know that it doesn't want any
thing to do with proposition.
At the next committee of the
whole meeting, the council will
be asked pointedly what 1t means
by snubbing the health board.
The board thinks Councilman
Dalke, who represents the Fourth
ward in which the isolation hospit-
al Is located, responsible for the in
suit, because his constituents don't
want the hospital in their ward.
DR.. w. c.. Roberts made a
lengthy talk about the council and
its treatment of the hospital. In

ment of the isolated patients as
barbarous. Some of them are COM

ALARM SYSTEM
COMES HIGH

A committee from the city coun-
ell consisting Of N. S. Pratt, Fred
baldwin, e. v. Lambert and Mayor
Moore and citizens, yesterday aft.
ernoon met F. A. Wood, agent for
the Gamewell Fire & Police Alarm
system, and gave the apparatus a
thorough inspection and investiga-
ton. Mr.. Pratt was keen to know
it's cost and was told that 1t would
prove less expensive to the city
than the additional men which
Chief of Police Rice will ask for.
II was stated that If the Gamewell
system was installed the chief
would not need this extra force.
The system will cost about $4,000
to install Mayor Moore said today:
This system would be valu-
able addition to our city, but the
cost is considerable. The company
gets a lot of money on account of
the patent. I believe these COM
panies would make more on their
inventions installed if they were
not so expensive. They can afford
it. There is the Decarie crematory
for instance, which is put in for
considerable more than it costs
and at great interest on the invest
ment"

WHAT STARTED THE JAP WAR SCARE

These are the present causes of
the trouble between this country
and Japan:
The congressional resolution for
bidding Japanese immigration from
Hawaii.
The wrecking of the Horseshoe
restaurant in San Francisco by a
crowd of hoodlums, who were at
tracted to the spot because of a
fight between 5 transfers. The
crowd thought that the Japanese
owners had attacked the white men
and they invaded the building and
wrecked the interior. Estimated
loss about 5000.
A smashed window pane in a ia
panese bathhouse across the street
from the restaurant. Loss about Sc.
A smashed window pane in a ia
panese dollhouse caused by base
ball. Loss about 81.
Sixty-seven Japanese house
cleaning and employment agencies
refused a municipal license be-
cause of an ordinance forbidding
foreigners such a license. The or
dinance is enforced against all ma
tionalities.
Seventy-five Japanese emigrants,
captured in attempting to steal
across the American line from
Mexico, turned back at Ell Paso
and fined 81 apiece, the deporta-
ton fee.
Is this enough to cause great
nations to go to war? The level
headed portion of the citizenship of
this coast are not of that opinion.
But the ugly fact still remains that
wars have been caused by far less.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 25.--
War, in victory or defeat the great
est disaster that nation can face,
is often caused by a trivial Incl
dent.
Statesmen the world over are
asking if history is going to repeat
itself in this regard and involve
the empire of Japan and the
United States of America in what
would probably be ! of the most
gigantic naval contests in all his
tory.
A hungry pig once caused France
and Mexico to clinch in a short
but bloody conflict.
The hide of pilfered calf, found
in British barracks, once caused
the United States and Great Britain
10 glover at each other over the
Canadian boundary line.
Will a wrecked restaurant a
smashed bathhouse window pane,
the enforcement OF a municipal IL
cense ordinance and a few hysteri-
cal news dispatches cause the
United States and Japan to leap
at each others threats?
At the present date this about
sums up the differences between
the Japanese and the United
States. Yet the fear of war, grow
ing out of these differences, has
caused the naval authorities to is
sue orders that have set the wheels
of industry humming in every ar
senal and navy yard in this coun-
try. 1t has caused the naval board
to order the entire American fleet
