COMPLAINANT DOES NOT
APPEAR AGAINST FLORA
zaruba Does Not Prosecute and Man
Charged With Burglary is
Released.

Peter Flora, the Italian who was
arrested and held under bond for a
hearing before Magistrate Riley on
the charge preferred by Charles F..
zaruba that he burglarized the "a
ruba home last August, was released
by the magistrate Saturday morning.
The mans hearing was set for 8
O'Clock but within the time allowed
by law the complainant failed to ap-
pear and prosecute the charge and
the magistrate dismissed the warrant
and released Flora.
Quite crowd was present in court
to witness what was to be the second
trial of the week, on warrants sworn
out by Mr.. and Mrs. zaruba, con-
corning money purported to have
been stolen from them some time
ago. This time she had had Flora,
who has borne an excellent reputa-
ton, accused. But his many friends
In business circles In this city, had
arisen in his defense in such num-
bers as to make the prosecution Of
the case against him absurd.
But the crowd of witnesses. for the
defence who had come to see Pete
vindicated, waited until after the
time set for the hearing, whereupon
Squire Riley promptly dismissed the
warrant, and all left warmly con-
graduating Pete as TO the outcome.
Pete is the subject of congratula-
ton of his many friends, none of
whom ever believed that he had any
thing to do with the affair, and are
indignant that he should have ever
been accused.

is perplexing one due to defective
and incomplete law regulating the
same, and until a better law govern
ing this subject is made an ordinance
Of the city an effective and satisfac-
tory solution of the question win not
obtain. My
Original Idea of Garbage
disposal by taxation l believe to be
the only solution OF this important
question so vitality concerning us.
AS executive officer OF the County
Board of Health l can not permit the
city to make a dumping ground for
its garbage in a public highway.
Neither win the law permit the
dumping of garbage on any grounds
public or private within one hundred
feet of a public highway nor in any
of the streams. 1t can not be burn
ed in the city limits, IT is unsafe,
dangerous to the public health to al
low garbage to remain in the city
about hotels. restaurants, boarding
house, residences. etc. Sickness and
death would surely follow in the
path Of such gross. negligence, such
disregard for the first principles Of
hygiene. sanitation, disease preven-
ton. Many preventable diseases
have their origin in carelessnes and
neglect such as this. 1t is just as
sane for the city to prevent disease
from getting into a home as it is to
protect it from
Burglars or Fire.
No government. national, state, coun-
ty or municipal is discharging its
whole duty to the people until ade-
quate. effective health laws are on
the statute books and rigidly en-
forced. In view of these facts am
persuaded that the crematory should
be in operation eveery day to con-
sumeSwhat garbage may find its way
there. The present law regulating
the sanitation Of the city should be
enforced by proper authority until a
more efficient one can be provided,
which, in my opinion should have the
immediate attention Of this body.
Money spent for the prevention Of
disease does not return to US as dol
lars end cents with interest nor its
equivalent in property, but rather in
the wly OF
ever Homes Made Dcsolate
with sickness. death and sorrow.
There is a reaper whose name is
Death" Is finance to be considered
when he would thrust his sickle in?
Make his harvest light by careful at
tention along those lines that prevent
disease. Clean" is the word-keep
the city clean regardless OF expense.

WANTS LAWS PASSED
AGAINST SOCIAL EVIL

LOS ANGELES, July 19.-[Editor Her
adj: How to eradicate social evil from
our country is the subject that should
be not only agitated by the people, but
acted upon by law in such manner that
those determined to lead such low, de-
grading lives cannot contaminate the at
mosphere about them and by their SEEM
ingly bright, easy manner entice or snare
such as are easily led who otherwise
might prove a blessing to the community
in which they live.
Wives are being deserted, mothers with
children yet in their arms are being left
with the burden of providing for them
selves and little ones, and often after be-
ing broken down in health and spirits by
the ever increasing toll and labor for the
one she loved and believed was true to
her, at last finds herself deserted and
the husband and father spending his time
and money on one who is only dragging
him down to perdition.
Why is it, you say, God in his good
ness and tender care allows such to go
on-allows good innocent women and
children to suffer, while seemingly those
by their loathsome, disgraceful ways take
life easy and prosper? Yet we all know
Gods word is true and in his own good
way and time all will work out for the
good of those who trust him.
So 1t behooves us as individuals and as
citizens of this glorious republic to agi-
tate this subject, and not only to agitate
but to act against this terrible wrong

CITY PAYS MUCH HIGHER

AUDITOR MUSHET UNCOVERS
oVERCHARGES
For a Box Of Miners Candles at City
Corral, for Instance, Municipality
Pays 45 Cents More Than
Private Consumers

City Auditor w. C. Mushet is develop
ing some surprising results in examin-
ing the prices paid by the city for sup
plies as compared with the prices paid
by private consumers.
Experts have been examining certain
accounts and they have uncovered evil
dence indicating that the city pays
toners of the same bidders in nearly
every case. Generally the advance is
about 10 per cent. Frequently there Is
only one bidder.
Work has not reached a stage where
IL is possible to outline the extent OF the
overcharges in detail but one item was
cited yesterday by the auditor to snow
the discrepancies.
some time ago the board of public
works needed candles at the city corral
where street department teams are
kept. A requisition was put in for
fortv-pound box of miners candies.
The stuff was purchased on an OFFER OF

Mr. Mushet. but it shows how the tax
PAYERS money has been wasted. i
''This demand came to me 0 I'D All

The new rules require the supply

least three bids.
