THREAT OF BULLET
4 STOPPED HIM

i. Frank Ryan's eagerness to es-
cape the police here yesterday at
ternoon. after he had confessed
that he as purser for the steamer
Okanogan, running on the Column
bia. between Bridgeport and We
natchee, embezzled $50 in fares, al
most necessitated gun play by
Officer Daniels to induce him to
stop Ryan has been hunted by
the Wenatchee authorities for con-
siderable time and the police were
-astonished when the fugitive walk
ed into the station yesterday after
noon and gave himself up.
/. He evidently changed his mind
while one of the officers was con-
sulting with Captain Coverly on
what charge to put against him, for
he made a dash for the back door
and only for Daniels threat to use
his shooting iron, would have ran
up an alley to the street. With a
warrant charging Ryan with en-
bezzlement, Chief of Police Incho
is on his way here from Wenatchee
today to take the prisoner back.

BIG 0!b||jECT|ONI
TO ENC|kEER|
ON THE bOARJ

One of the biggest objections to
the city, engineer sitting on the
board of public works as member
of the board is the fact that after
spending hundreds OF thousands of
dollars of city funds, the engineer
sits with the board to pass on the
bills and recommend their ZAP
proval.
AS an example of this can be
cited the fact that on the Mission
avenue bridge about $115,000 will
have been expended before the
structure is completed. The engi-
neer could then sit on the board
and vote for the payment of every
single item. %
With a mayor and an engineer
so inclined and standing together,
the job could be made worth thous-
ands of dollars in graft. Then, too,
there is the problem of the engi-
neer drafting the plans and then
sitting on the board and adopting
the plans and seeing that they
were. carried out in conformity
with the wishes of the contractors.
There has also been the sugges-
ton raised that the city engineer
is looking for a salary Of $4,000 a
year. If this is the case the salary
should be included in the charter
amendment rather. than be left to
an ordinance. There have been
engineers in Office who have not
been worth 800 a month, Judging
from the wrangling and fighting
over their plans.

New Method of Reducing
Fat

A news item from Paris informs
us that the American method of
producing slim, trim figure, is
meeting with astonishing success.
This system, which has made such
q wonderful impression over there,
must be the Marmola Prescription
Tablet method OF reducing fat. II
Is safe to say that we have nothing
better for this purpose in this coun-
try. Anything that will reduce the
excess flesh pound day without
injury to the stomach. the causing
of wrinkles, the help of exercising
or dieting. or interference with
ones meals Is mighty important
and useful addition to civilizations
necessities. Just such catalogue
of good results. however, follow the
use OF these pleasant. harmless and
economical little fat reducers. We
say economical, because Marmola
Prescription Tablets (made In ac-
cordance with the famous prescrip-
fion) can be obtained of any drug
6ist or the makers. the Marmola
Co, Detroit. Mich, for seventy-five
cents the large case. which Is a de-
eidedly economical price consider
Ing the number OF tablets each case
eontains.--Adv.

Charlie Baird as athletic director.
Baird will resign at the next
meeting of the regents in April,
and although several men have
been mentioned as his probable
successor, it is to King" Cole that
the palm will be awarded, say the

There are reasons why Cole
should be selected. He is. a splen-

looking after the financial end of

WOULD HEAR FROM
HOSPITAL SURGEON

Coroner's inquest has been contin-
ued i'm the case of the death of M. j..
McGannon who was picked up on the
corner of Bethel and Hotel streets on
Monday night, alter dying in the
Queens hospita
The jury wishes to hear the testi-
mony of the surgeon at the hospital
who is supposed to have made an
examination of McGannon when he
was first taken to hospital, after which
examination he was turned out and
sent back to Jail for drunkenness,
when developments prove that death
was due to a wound, not visible eX-
ternally, probably received by the man
falling and striking his head on the
curb while drunk.
At last nights session of the coro-
ner's jury there were brought out the
facts already related. How Mclean
non was found and the patrol called
and he was taken to the hospital, re-
turned to a cell and later, when it
was seen that he was vomiting blood.

died.
Negligence is shown where the po-
lice failed to inform the hospital au-
thorities of the conditions under which
McGannon was found and the probility
of injury through falling and now the
jury would ascertain if the surgeon
is not also to blame for perhaps MAX
ing an amateur examination.
