GAMEWELL CONCERN
MAY SUE ON BILLS
AUDITOR MUSHET ANXIOUS TO
HAVE COURT INQUIRY
Fire Commissioners Stand by Chief
in Behalf of Patented System
and May Visit the
Council

AS Auditor w. C. Mushet predicted,
A. ]. Coffey, Pacific coast representa-
tive of the Gamewell fire alarm tele-
graph concern, has hurried to Los An
geles from San Francisco.
The fire board at its meeting yester-
day decided to support Chief Walter
Lips In his contention that the Game
we'll system is best and that Gamewell
patents should be used in installing the
new fire alarm boxes. The board will
appear in the council chamber to urge
such action.
Non-partisans in the city council are
disposed to throw down the gates and
let all makers of fire alarm apparatus
make bids on the needed boxes.
Councilman Dromgold has even de-
clared that it may be necessary to
throw out the Gamewell system en-
tirely and substitute another.
Information has reached the finance
committee of the city council = and
Auditor Mushet has corroborated it
that Los Angeles has used up many
thousands of dollars unnecessarily for
its fire alarm system. Specifications
for bids have been so framed, more
over, that only the Gamewell people
could make tenders. hence there was
no competitive bidding.
Auditor Mushet has since last Au-
gust held up $4,000 worth of demands
of the Gamewell company and has
challenged the concern to carry out its
threats to sue the city. Mayor Harper
says Coffeys trip here will be to file
suit.
Possibly some action will be taken
at the adjourned session of the city
council this morning.

SLATE MAKERS BUSY
IN HEALTH OFFICE
PHYSICIANS SEEK DR.. GARcE-
LoN's OLD PLACE
Democrats Urge Mayor Harper to
Name One of His Party to Posi-
ton of Assistant Health
Officer

Slate makers are busy naming the
probable successor to DR.. Harris
Garcelon, assistant health officer, who
retires on April l.
The pressure has become so strong
that a special meeting of the board
of health may be held today to make
the appointment and end the clamor.
The latest tip is that the successful
man must be a Democrat. Mayor A.
C. Harper having been besieged by
many advisers to name one of his
own party
Aside from the names mentioned in
yesterdays Herald, Drs. H. B. Teb-
belts, Frank c. L. Barlow and Ar
thur Smith, the newer candidates in
the field are Drs. 1. r. Bancroft, A.
D. Houghton and several physicians
who were prominent as ward chiefs
in the recent sanitary cleanup.
DIR. Bancroft served two years un-
der the Boston board of health and
is now doing special work for the
California state board of health in
San Bernardino and Riverside coun-
ties visiting the schools. He was one
of the volunteer doctors who without
pay assisted Health officer l.. M.
Powers when Los Angeles was
cleaned up after the plague scare in
San Francisco.
The salary attacned TO the once is
only $3.50 a month, which will tempt
but few professional men, and 1t is
DIR. Powers desire that the next ap-
pointee deyote his time to city work,
foregoing all private practice. When
this became known yesterday some
of the candidates dropped out.
DR.. Powers told some applicants
that he had broken i'm a number of
young physicians in this work during
his twelve years term as health Of
ficer and he preferred to see an all
around practitioner named who would
serve the department exclusively. 1t
is likely, however, that after July an
attempt will be made to raise the
salarv to so00

RELIEVES IN FIVE MINUTES.
Help Comes Quickly When Hyomei
Is Used for CataTrh.

The quick relief that comes from
the Hyomei treatment for catarrh is
most remarkable. Put few drops of
liquid Hyomei in the little pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit,
and before you have used the treat
ment for five minutes you will no
tice relief from your catarrhal
troubles.
1t gives a tonic healing effect to
the air you breathe, kills all catarr-
hal germs, stops the poisonous Sc
cretions, and soothes the irritated
mucous membrane.
Hyomei will destroy all disease
germs in the nose, throat and lungs
and make a quick and permanent
cure of catarrh. So strong is Hood
& Curlin's belief in the power of
Hyomei to cure all catarrhal trou-
bles that with every $1.00 outfit
they give a guarantee to refund the
money unless the remedy gives salts
