Statement by Harry Flint, short term
prisoner at the city Jail.
Flint was arrested on a charge of
beating $1.25 board bill and sentenced
to serve five days in Jail.
For five days this man, who knows
that he is in the last stages of tuber-
culosis, was employed in and about
the receiving hospital, working over
patients who were brought in and do
ing work which none but man in the
most healthy condition should per-
form, working over the bodies OF
women, children and men who had
been injured in accidents or become i'll
while at work.
For five days he did the work re-
quired of a hospital trusty, and for five
nights he slept with scores of misera-
BILE wretches in the drunk tank" at
the jail, breathing in foulest odors
and exhaling. breath which car
ried with it germs of the most deadly
nature.
For five days and five nights this
man passed his time in the city Jail
building, without physician's care and
himself constant source of danger
to the persons with whom he mingled.
How such things can be allowed in
city like Los Angeles 1 cannot un-
derstand," said a prominent physician
when speaking of this case yesterday.
This city claims to support hospital
in which to take care of those who
meet with accidents. Three rooms are
devoted to this purpose and five physi-
clans are kept on the city's payroll
in order to properly carry on the
work. What assistance are these
physicians given? They are not al
lowed trained nurses to assist them
with cases, but frequently must stoop
to the most menial labor themselves.
"This is not what they are paid to
do and it seems to me Los Angeles is
rich enough to supply the hospital
with couple of male nurses to do the
work.

"It is admitted by all physicians
who are familiar with the hospital that
the trusty system is all wrong. Petty
thieves, forgers, in fact criminals of
any and all descriptions are sent into

st. Paul, May 24.-The first gov
ernment suit against the Standard
Oil began today.
The question at issue is whether
the government can investigate the
wrong doing Of the octupus earlier
than 1899.
Judge Johnson of Philadelphia
and Judge Mildburn Of New York
for the Standard, declared the
Standards history is other than
spectacular. There is prejudice be-
cause the present company was or
ganized in 1899 and the wrong do
ings were not illegalized till 1900.
The government, represented by
Milton f. Purdy of Washington, F.
H. Kellogg and C. B. Morrison of st.
Paul, will oppose the change in the
governments bill, filed in 1906, at
ST. Louis, insisting the Standards op-
erations since 1870 are necessary to
establish conspiracy in restraint of
trade. which the company has sought
to hide under New Jersey laws.

Snake Flood Destroying Grade.

Parties from, down the river re-
port that the rising waters of the
Snake river are washing out the
grading of the lewiston Riparia line
this side of Almota. The conditions
however, are not serious as the dam
age occurs only in places and to an
extent that will only require a short
time to repair after the water re-
cedes.
Gray & Chapman. the railroad con-
tractors, have commenced operations
with the steam shovel Just below Ri
paria on the Pasco line of the North
ern Pacific. The Inauguration OF
work on the Riparia end of this line
is significant and again gives rise to
previous rumors that the Northern
Pacific owns the lewiston Riparia
line which was supposed at one time
to be purely an o. r. & n. line and
later joint road Of the o. r. & n.
and Northern Pacific.--Lewiston

OVERALL WAR is MERCILESS.
Two Firms Are Both Underselling
Each Other.

That the male population of Pendle-
ton will soon be clothed in overalls is
probable If the merry war which is
and the Workingmen's Clothing COM
pany continues.
The fight started when Kahn Bros,
opened up sale of clothing at reduc-
ed prices in a temporary store just
south of the RAIDER furniture store.
The proprietor of the Workingmen's
store Immediately met competition by
selling overalls for 65 cents. Kahn
came back at him with a price OF 3S
cents. This was followed by a drop
to 80 cents on the part of Louis Moses
of the Workingmen's store. Kahn
Bros. made a feint and rushed the
rope for 90 cents. Moses got busy
and landed a good blow with large
sign calling attention to 25 cent over
alls. The response was an undercut
for 23 cents. Things got warm by this
time and the front of both stores were
placarded with signs and Knockout
drops were administered by Moses at
q 20, Is and ~ cent rate with the
puuCHllS quickly returned DN Mann
to the tune of 10, IA and IL cents.
A solar plexus blow was then at
tempted by Moses with an announce
ment of cent pants, but Kahn crowd
ed him to the ropes with a free pair
with every 95 cent purchase. Both
contestants are now painting for
breath, while the store is filled with
eager buyers.
