COPS ARE ALL FINE

No. ii isn't payday with the cops.

but it isn't. The board of BARRIERS
examiners have quarters in the drill
room of the police station and
aspiring BARRIERS have been prac-
ticing on the cops. Not one police.
man has thus far reported a
scratched mug. The fear of arrest
for soling the good looks Of any
cop, so the cops tell. is what makes
the BARRIERS do such good jobs. Sew
eral lady BARRIERS are expected to
appear for examination tomorrow
Sergeant John Sullivan is letting
his beard grow for this event. All
the single cops are particularly
busy inquiring of the examiners if
any of the lady BARRIERS are good

BOND CITY FOR
100000

A rough draft of proposition to
submit to voters the bonding of the
city for $4,000 tQ-be expended for
new bridges was referred to the
committee of the whole at the coun-
Gil meeting last night. The board
of public works endorsed the Straus
bridge report and the council ia
vored immediate action. Corpora
ton Counsel Geraghty was instruct
ed to draw up rough plan of pro-
cedure, and it was sent to the COM
mittee of the whole to be discuss

TRY To FORCE
STRIKE
.4 Outbuul.

h. SEATTLE, March 27.-The con-
tractors are seeking to force the is
sue by the employment of non
union labor and the Building Trades
assembly is doing all in its power
to prevent suspension of work.
Although the labor situation has
reached its most acute stage, the
labor leaders have the situation
thoroughly in hand and are making
no i'll considered moves. On the
other hand, some of the members
of the Master Builders association
are weakening under the pressure
from the owners of buildings under
erection, who are insisting on pro-
gress in the work.
The attempt to employ non-union
men to finish buildings now under
construction did not make much
Roadway.
Misunderstanding seem to stand
in the way of a settlement. The
Master Builders association claims
the Building Trades assembly is
trying to force the wages of COM
mon laborers up to So per day and
refuse to make any concessions
which would lead to a settlement.
The Building Trades assembly
claims that the So scale for con-
crete mixers alone is the point at
issue, and that all other points
could be quickly and satisfactorily
adjusted if this scale were con-
coded by the contractors.

HOSPITAL BILLS
SCRUT|N|zEO

The Investigation of affairs of the
health department by Commission
or O'Brien began this morning with
a search of the book of the isola-
ZION hospital. The Sadie David
son" bills, it has developed, show
that the department is not living
I'D to the ordinance limiting the
nav of nurses TO $3.50 a day one
nurse having received as high as
SIS a day. Yesterday O'Brien held
up the hospital bills and asked for
an itemized account, particularly
with reference 10 bills for nurses
during the month of February.
Superintendent A. 5. HOsler this
morning turned in an itemized &C
count for this, which runs the
amount up considerably. There
were six nurses employed in all.
Mrs. Hosler. the regular nurse.
draws salary of 81 a day instead
of $3.50 as the ordinance requires.
Her bill for the month of February
was sS4. John Kueffer worked 3
days at S. and % days at 81; Will
Foreman worked IA days at 50;
James Ross 3 days at 50; Joe Stitz
8 days at 81; Jane CIist days
at 81.
Dr. Charles V. GenOway, head of
the health department. this morn
ing explained that the contract for
Mrs. Hosler's services calls for So
a day and that at the time of max
ing this contract the board was I'M
aware of the wage limitation of the
ordinance. Since then it is claimed
to have been impossible to secure
nurses at $3.50 and in the case of
John Kueffer, a professional nurse.
the services could not be secured
for a particularly urgent case under
S. day.
These bills will all reach the
finance committee of the council
next Monday afternoon with a rec
ommendation from the board of
health that the committee recon-
mend they be paid.
All nurses except Kueffer we're
patients at the hospital, who were
pressed into service pending their
complete convalescence.
No explanation has been made
for keeping the items secret.
Charges have been brought
against the Hoslers which state
that no nurse except Mrs. Hosler
had ever been employed. The first
nurse employed was Mrs. Sadie
Davidson and for several months
the small amounts paid to patients
for assisting Mrs. Hosler we're in
cluded in an account credited to
sadie Davidson" The total ex.
penses of the hospital for February,
according to the BILL were S1,069,
which included $40 for board of
patients and attendants. The Hos
lers are allowed by the city %
cents meal for each patient
which would indicate that during
February there We're &C patients at
the hospital all month.
Most of them must have been
taken there during February, also.
because the expense bill includes
49 trips after patients at 81 each.
The city allows the 81 in the con-
tract with Hosler.
