COUNCIL FAILS
TO START PROBE

There was no discussion In the
council last night on the ques-
tion OF the official investigations
that have been going on lately.
The finance committee reported OF
the Hebblethwaite case and
recommended that the former
building inspector be paid back
$23.40 which he overpaid.
The committee on employees
recommended that charges be filed
against City electrician Lauzon
Both reports We're adopted by the
rule which adoptes a report VIII an
there is no protest.
Mayor Linck will probably not
file any charges against Lauzon.
He prefers the course outlined IN
the Times yesterday of appointing
a superintendent to take char sc
OF the whole department. If any
charges are filed they will prob
ably be by Commissioner McGrs-
gor.

the arrival of Bwana Jumbo.
In dealing with a native race
as intelligent as the Baganda, the
British government showed real
wisdom in retaining their own
king and ministers of their own
So far as the king is concerned,
he is a mere salaried figurehead;
but the ministers have real power
and do the work of the govern

could do it. Although, of course,
the native ministers act under
British officials.
Daudi Chwa is lucky boy. He
keeps his title of kabaka, or king,
which has a good moral effect on
the natives.
He draws a salary of $500 a
year just for allowing his name
to be used. He is afforded all the
facilities he requires for sport,
which he loves, and he has no
cares of state to trouble him.
He consented to receive me at
8 o'clock this afternoon, and /

On showing my pass, a native

Joe Moore had to answer to a
charge of drunkenness In police

be a joke the first time, but this

whole matter was nothing more
than farce anyhow" He did not
specify whether "the whole mat
ter" referred to his getting drunk
or his getting arrested. Anyhow,
he was given five days in the city
Jail, to get over that tired feeling.

welt was not only a great chief
but a wise chief, from whom he,
Daudi Chwa, could learn much;
and he knew that the American
chief had done much for black
people in a country where there
were blacks and whites as In his
own Uganda.
Roosevelt would have good
shooting, Daudi Chwa went on I'd
say, and could get fine elephant
and hippos, and alligators; but
when / asked If he would get
white rhinos In Uganda, Daudi
Chwa answered "Not!" They are
found only in the Lado Enclave

The boy king then gave me the
message which was to deliver to
Col. Roosevelt.

Chamberlain's Liniment

This is new preparation and good
one. 1t is especially valuable as a cure
for chronic and muscular rheumatism.
and for the relief from pain which it
affords in acute infiammatory rheuma-
tism. Those who have used it have
invariably spoken Of it in the highest
terms OF praise. Lame back, lame shoul-
der and stiff neck are due to rheuma-
tism OF the muscles, usually brought on
quickly cured by applying this liniment
freely and massaging the affected parts.
Soreness OF the muscles, whether in
duced by violent exercise or injury is
allayed by this liniment. Sold by Fred
