Additional reports from the finance
committee of the citizens health com
mittee show that more than $4,000 was
secured yesterday to continue the sani-
tation work in this city. The good that
is being done by the money was shown
in the reports from other departments
of the movement.
Only eight rats out of a total of
i.442 captured and examined last week
showed any traces of bubonic germs,
and the board of health considers that
this is flattering testimonial of the
work done by the federal authorities
and citizens in purging the city of in
fection The health officers report
stated that no verified cases of the dis
ease were now under treatment, though
four suspected cases are being watched.
An examina tion of the channel out
let's of the south side sewers will be
made this afternoon by the water front
committee of the citizens committee
and the federal and city health officers.
\ conference will be held later with
the city engineer regarding what steps
might be taken temporarily 10 relieve
that district of the danger of infected
rats. While the ultimate plan of the
city is to remove all sewage directly
into the north part of the bay a tenn
porary expedient may be decided upon
whereby the channel sewage can be
carried out into deep water in the
south bay.
y report by the water front commit
tee on wharves and warehouses was
submitted yesterday. The conditions
north of the ferry building were found
to be much better than those existing
south Many rats were found between
Market street and the Beale street

water front by the committee.
Dr. Charles @. LevinSon and II. II.

houses, submitted report to the citi-
zens' committee yesterday on the con-
dition of every warehouse in town.

New Brigadier Brush Celebrates
St. Patrick's Day on Sher-

Grapefruit and Sherry for
Poteen Highball

As the army transport Sherman S
twin propellers revolved continuously
to push the big ship from Manila to
the Golden gate, so the wheels of the
war department continued to rotate,
and as the troopship ree1ed off knot
after knot of the Pacific the powers

ing lieutenants into captains, captains
into majors and majors into colonels.
While the transport was between
Nagasaki and Honolulu, Daniel Fl.
Brush. who had boarded the Sherman
at Manila as colonel, was promoted
TO be brigadier general News of the
promotion was received from Homo
lulu by wireless, and when the trans
port entered the island port the red
flag with two white stars, indicating
the presence on board of a brigadier
general, was flying from the main. The
same flag was flying yesterday when
the Sherman came into the harbor.
General Brush, whose last detail in
this country was as inspector general
OF the northern district. was made a
colonel last May and in July took COM
mand of the Twenty fourth Infantry,

musicians rendered with almost Celtic
enthusiasm

LAST DAY Of
COLON|ST RATES
HEAVY TRAVEL OVER
o. II. y n. AS TIME EXPIRES
Many Tourists and Large Quantities
of Baggage Transferred Here for
Spokane and Points to the NORTH
Special Rates Not So Successful
This Year As Last.

Tomorrow is the last day of the
special tourist rates to the west
which have been effective during
September and october, and as a re-
suit OF the approaching close of the
opportunity, the o. r. & N, is ex-
periencing heavy colonist traffic the
last few days. No. 5, last evening
was too late for connections at Una
tilla for Spokane and the tourists and
their baggage was left in this city to
go up over the Washington division
this morning. Four huge truck loads
of baggage on the depot platform
bear witness TO the great number OF
passengers left off here.
The rates have not been so success
ful in bringing great numbers OF peo-
pie west this fall, as they were last
year, owing to the hard times" in
the east which made it very difficult
for one to dispose of any property
owned back there. According to
those posted on railroad matters it
is extremely doubtful If the roads
will ontinue these special rates next
spring, as there is a bitter fight up
on them as reaction against the
rate regulation which has been so
general in the middle west.

CoLoRED RELATIVES FIGHT.
Al Richardson Attacked by Brother
in.Law Last Night.

Because Al Richardson refused to
become bail for Rufus Fletcher, who
lies in the county Jail upon charge
of perjury, brought upon the strength
of the testimony given by him in Ii
quor cases before the grand jury,
Richardson while eating in restau-
rant across from the st. George ho-
tel, last night was attacked by VIII
Fletcher, a brother of the imprlson-
ed man. Neither was badly hurt in
the affair, although both were
scratched and SCARED.
According to the story told. in
Judge Fitz Gerald's court this morn
ing, when Richardson refused to go
on Fletcher's bond the jealous broth
er attacked him with a knife in his
hand, at the same time commenting
upon his origin. Richardson, in de-
fense then knocked the other man
through one of the windows in the
door of the restaurant and the fight
was brought to an end by Officer
Kearney who put both men under
arrest Fletcher this morning for
feited bond and Richardson was re-
leased upon his showing of self-de-
fense. The two men are brothers-in-
law.

WILL NOT PERFORM MARRIAGE
Portland Judge Declares He Will No
Longer Take Responsibility.

Portland, Ore, oct. 20.-Simul-
taneous with the declaration of Pro-
fessor Edward D. Monroe, of STAN
| ford University. before the Woman's
Literary club in Chicago yesterday.
! that marriage is the suicide of love-
Municipal Judge John Van Zante, of
this city, has announced his deter
mination not to officiate at any we'd
dings in the future.
'I sincerely wish" said the magis-
trate, that in my judicial career
had never united any couple in we'd
lutely refuse to marry any one. 1t is
not that | am opposed to marriages,
but | don't want it on my conscience
that through my instrumentality a
mismated couple was ever pronounce
ed man and wife"
Judge Van Zante's attitude on the
marriage question is the result of
deep-rooted conviction that the mag
istrate performing the wedding cere-
mony is in a degree culpable If the
declaration Of the police judge that
never again in the future will it be
said that he tied a nuptial knot was
prompted by the double wedding yes
terday morning of two young couples
arrested in South Portland lodging
houses.
When the cases were called in the
police court the defendants announ-
ced their intention OF marrying and
thereby avoiding the consequences of
their crimes. Judge Van Zante was
asked to perform the ceremony, but
pointblank refused, and advised the
prisoners to secure the services Of
one of the Justices of the peace.
''Such marriages" said Judge Van
Zante, make a hollow mockery of
the marital relation. | have always
regarded marriage as sacred, and the
very existence of the republic is
threatened by unions Of this charac-
ter. Heredity is a proven fact, and
the progeny of couples welded under
as is found in the cases
this morning are more than likely to
have criminal or degenerate tenden-
cies.
81, for one, do not intend to have
the disastrous consequences on my
soul of bringing about or in any way
aiding or abetting farcial marriages
of this character and will absolutely I
refuse from now on to use the power |
conferred on me by the law to Off
ciate at weddings. 1t was only a few
nights ago that 1 received a request
over the telephone to marry a couple !
on the East Side, but | told them to
find some other magistrate"
incidentally, Judge Van Zante is a
bachelor.
