PASSED FROM THIS LIFE
Mrs, Philippina Schneberger.

A letter to this paper from Miss
Orva Wiener bears the sad news of
the death of her grandmother Mrs.
Philippine Schneberger, relict of the
late Jacob Schneberger. She died at
three O'Clock in the afternoon of
March Il, at the home of her daughter
Mrs. Wiener, in Los Angeles. She
had been gradually failing in health
and the end came very peacefully.
The family were long identified with
the interests of Mineral Point. Some
time after the death of her husband,
Mrs. Schneberger went to live with
her daughter in Carrolton, H., and
later removed with the family to Los
Angeles. The funeral obsequies were
on Saturday, March IA, when the

PETITION FOR
RED DISTRICT

A petition addressed to the
mayor and council asking that dis
orderly women who are now
abroad in the city under guise of
responsibility. be modified in a
restricted district under police
regulation, is being circulated and
largely signed by business men,
Jack Webster is personally circu-
lating it. 1t is argued that since
the notorious Main and Yale blocks
were closed these disorderly wom-
en- have refused to leave the city,
and the police are unable to cope
with the situation. Nightly raids
on lodging houses have been made
and the captured women heavily
fined, but still they continue to re-
main in town and harass citizens
and police generally. A possible
way to cope with them would be
to herd them all into Jail, but to
do this would require a special
bastile, for police figures show
that there are more than 200 of
these females. They move from
one lodging house to another and
stay until the police ferret them
out.
Many complaints have been re.
ceived from residence portions
where the women have gone in
hopes of escaping the police. They
have been cleaned out in some
sections only to be found in others
Information as to where the wo
men are to be herded is expected
in time from parties who may have
houses to rent for that purpose.

HOGAN LEAVES CLUB
OUT OF THE DEAL

Frank P. Hogan, who has been
trying to sell the Country club a
site on the Spokane river opposite
Fort George Wright, near the loca-
ton of the new isolation hospital,
last night submitted a new propo,
sition, which leaves the isolation
hospital out of consideration. I'm
der this proposition the club is
left to wrestle with the pesthouse
question itself, if it buys the
ground.
No action was taken on the Ho-
gan proposition last night, but
from expressions heard today it is
believed that it is all off insofar
as the Hogan gronud is concerned.
The city will no longer delay the
building of the new isolation hos
pital and will go right ahead with
the building, the foundation for
which has already been installed

CANNOT
JOIN MUTUALS

In response to the inquiry of
Chris Nelson, one of the school
trustees at Mica, regarding the
right of the local school board to
take out insurance in mutual in
surance companies, the following
opinion was rendered by Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Donovan to-
day:
THE school board of district
has power to make contracts for
those things which are necessary
to the proper conduct and manage
ment of the schools of their re-
spective districts, but it's powers
cannot extend to authority to bind
their district to become members
of mutual insurance company
where it is possible that assess
ments may be levied to pay losses
which may accrue and which as
sessments may be uncertain.
Subdivision a of section 1871 of
Pierce's code provides that you may
insure schoolhouses.' The statute
is silent as to the kind or character
of the companies, but reasonable
care must be exercised to insure
in such companies as will be COM
patable with good business judg-
ment.
''In order to insure in mutual
companies the insured must become
a member of the company, because
the name mutual indicates that all
policyholders will participate in the
gains and losses in the conduct of
the business. There being no au-
thority for the board to become
a member of a mutual or any other
company, l consider it my duty to
advise you that you have no au-
thority to insure the property of the
school district in any mutual fire
insurance company"

PRESS EDITORIAL

last night at the social hygiene
meeting held in the Y. M. C. A.
The meeting was addressed by
Drs. A. r. Cunningham, d. X. Nc
Dowell, Frank Human and N.
Fred Essign. DR.. William l.. Hall,
in the time allotted to his speech
read a Press editorial of last night
entitled "Reaping the Wild Oats. "
His 20 minutes were up before he
completed the reading and his com
ments, but the subject provoked
such interest that DR.. Hall was
asked to disregard the time limit
and finish. Physicians have the
moral interests of the community
at heart and frequent meetings to
discuss local conditions are to be
held from now on.
The meeting last night, although
addressed only by physicians, was
largely attended by ministers and

COERCION
FOR TAFT
Bryan Roasts Officers
of Vanderbilt
Road.

MOUNT VERNON, o., Oct. FL
Declaring that. officials of the Van
derbilt railroads are attempting to
coerce employees into voting the
republican ticket, Bryan made a
bitter attack upon General Man
ager Van Wickle, Vice President
Schaff and Assistant Superinten-
dent ingalls, in his speech here to-
day. 1t created a big sensation.
The attack was the result of a
speech made by the three officials
to employees at Bellfontaine, O., last
night.
Bryan said their statement that
a democratic victory meant cut
in wages is coercion and crime
against the franchise that ought
not be allowed to go unpublished
Confronted with the wrath of
the people whose earnings they
have taken for their own, predatory
corporations now threaten a panic
If the people elect me.
Taft was in the presidents
cabinet when the panic last year
started. If he and the strenuous
president could not prevent that
panic. how little is the chance for
him alone?
81 am fighting to restore business
competition; not to destroy bust
ness"
Bryan called attention to the
fact that ingalls, is a son-in-law of
Charles Taft.
He will lgo to New York after
giving one day instead of the rest
of the week to West Virginia. He
will not visit Maryland and New
Jersey, and declares Ohio won for
the democrats.

Justice Mann this afternoon held
Nettie Johnson, a colored woman,
to the superior court under $4,000
bonds for robbing o. H. Goodie, a
young laborer, of 500, and then
standing off Patrolman Casey, who
cornered her on vacant lot OPP
posite the Y. M. G. A., with a long
hatpin. Con Harrington assisted
the officer in capturing the woman:
She was found to have more than
500 in bills in one hand and re-
fused to tell where she got it.
Following her arrest Goodie re-
ported that a colored woman took
500 by force from him in wood
yard on First and Lincoln and iden-

FOR
GENERAL FUND

The council last night instructed
Corporation Counsel Hamblen to
draft an ordinance providing that
all fees collected in any depart
ment, and in fact all money collect
ed by any department, except the
street and water departments, go
into the general fund instead of
into the department funds, as Is
the custom now.
This action was taken ON the
recommendation of Comptroller
Farley, who explained for an in
stance, that while the engineering
department estimate asks for $685.
500 to run the department proper
and the sewer and inspection de-
partments, it will actually require
$100,500, for on engineering
charges the department will prob
ably collect $4,000, and on inspec.
ton charges $4,000, which goes
into the funds of those depart
ments.
Comptroller Farley Inquired that
with these collections going into
the general fund and credited as
revenue, the total estimated reve-
nue. for next year is brought up to
about $295,000 instead Of $270,000
as first estimated But the matter
is broad as it is long, for those de-
partments which figured on their
incomes to run them will require
an amount equal to the incomes
added to their estimates.
Councilmen generally expressed
the opinion that departments
should be held down to their esti-
mates strictly. Under the present
rule. the departments have always
managed to expend every cent of
their revenues.
