The Kearny Board of Health last
night passed on first and second read

important provisions OF which is that
milk is not to be sold in bulk. Bottles
must DIE provided instead. The board
discussed the ~advisability of applying
the ruberculin test to all COWS in the
town. but, as it has not the power
to compel dairy owners to submit their
COWS to the test, the discussion was
merely informal.
The board has prepared a pamphlet

GRAFT CASE
AND PHELAN
POLITICAL SENSATION IN SAN
FRANCISCO OVER REFUSAL
OF THE CALL TO SUPPORT
ANTi-GRAFT CANDIDATE FOR
MAYOR.
(By United Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, June Is
Political circles are In turmoil
here today following an attack on
James d. Phelan by the Call to the
effect that the peoples ballot"
sent out by the good government
league campaign committee, bore
marks under the stamps on the
envelopes by which the straw
voters identity could be deter
minoY, and further by an interview
accredited by the Chronicle to John
d. Spreckles, jr., relative to the
candidacy of Phelan for mayor.
The Call article scores the league
for a recourse to Russian spy
methods.
When young Spreckles was ask
ed whether the Call was loyal to
Phelan in the past, he said, ac-
cording to the Chronicle: "As my
memory serves me, remember the
Call had an article once charging
Phelan with felony, and that If he
got his just desserts he would be
wearing stripes in San Quentin"
Spreckles continued: 'Inasmuch as
Rudolph Spreckles' private secre-
tary was present in the room where
the postage stamps were doctored
according to the Calls own story,
1t seems my uncle is not wholly
unaware of what was going on in
Phelan's political headquarters.
81 can state positively the Call
will not support any particular per-
son or organization whose aims are
not dictated by unselfish inten-
tions. l am quite satisfied the Call
will certainly not support Phelan
for mayor. He will never get my
vote or endorsement. and l am GER
tain my father will stand behind
everything the Call story stated or
implied to the fullest limit. So
long as the graft prosecution acts
honorably and carries out the in
tentions the Call will stand behind
1t. When it goes beyond its prov
ince and becomes a political tool,
] hardly believe my father will give
1t his support in that endeavor. Ex-
posture by the paper Of Phelan's
postage stamp methods certainly
knocks the bottom out Of the good
government league"

It. was Judge Mann trying anoth-
er cigaret case. Two miners came
in from Idaho with money to
spend. They were spending it and
also plotting to smoke a cigaret
when an officer saw them. Some
body yelled a warning and they
dropped the discriminating evil
dence, but too late, and therefore
William Shattuck and James New
man went to Jail. The court ask
ed Shattuck why he smoked
cigarets and Shattuck said be-
cause he liked em. Newman was
morally certain that If he got out
of this scrape unscathed Judge
Mann would never pass Judgment
on him again for the same crime.
II there are any fines to be fitch
ed by Judge Mann from working
men because they don't happen to
know that smoking Is a crime in
this state it looks like a writ of
mandamus will be necessary. And
1t is also necessary to suppress APP

WIFE OF HENRY
WILLARD AGAIN
SEES SPOKANE

One distinguished woman with
the equal suffrage delegation.
whose interest in Spokane is sharp
ened by memories to be proud OF.
is Mrs. Henry Willard, wife OF the
late Henry Willard, who built the
Northern Pacific. She accompanied
him to Spokane in 1888 when the
road was put through this city, and
speaks in happy tones today OF the
reception that then marked the en-
trance of transcontinental rail-
road and the beginning OF Spo-
kane's prosperity
Mrs. Willard was in Spokane last
about 10 years ago, and her recol-
lection of the city then and in 1883
and comprehension of its. impor-
lance today, show that she took a
vital interest in the great empire
building project in which her huss
band was then engaged. She ii
participating in the suffrage moye-
ment for one reason because VII
lard was an outspoken advocate OF
granting equal opportunities to
women. Mrs. Willard now lives In
New York, her son being one of the
editors of the Evening Post. The
years have frosted her hair, but
the wife of the former great rail-
road king is as bright and enter
tanning probably as when sh0 frst
saw what Is now Spokane.

Celestials Willing to Offer
Reward for His
Arrest.

That search for Leon Ling, sup
posed murderer of Elsie Sigel, is
going on more generally and dill
gently among the Cinnamon than
among the Americans, is evidenced
by the fact that leading Chinese
residents and business men of Spo-
kane offer to pay reward for his
apprehension here.
1T is hard to tell where Leon
Ling would go. He is not welcome
among the majority OF the China
men in any of the United States
cities, and, fearing the, American
authorities, he may have fled to
the mountains, where he will likely
starve before he can be found"
said All Yen, one of the oldest and
best known Chinese business men
of the city.
''He is just as likely to be hiding
in the hills around Spokane or in
Idaho as anywhere, for he would
not dare to go to the coast, unless
hidden by members of his society,
and would fear betrayal in the
smaller places, where tongs are not
well organized | will contribute
$40 to fund for his capture in or
about Spokane myself, and l know
other Cinnamon will do the same"
TT Gee. another wealthy China
man, well known in business cir
Giles here, declared his belief that
Leon Ling Is concealed in San
Francisco, where he is cared for
and guarded by members of his
tong. According to all local China
men, who could be lead into con-
versation in the matter, the sup
posed murderer would not be safe
among Cinnamon who did not be-
long to the same tong or society
that he does. Spokane Celestials,
however, declare they DO not know
to what secret Chinese society
Leon Ling belongs.
1t is foolish for women mission.
aries to go into Chinatown to con
vert the Cinnamon, for it breeds
jealousy among the Cinnamon and
sooner or later will end IN blood
shed among them, and perhaps In
death for the missionary, accord
ing to the opinions or a number of
the celestials here. In Spokane
very little mission work Is at.
tempted in the Chinese districts.
Sometimes a missionary may
convert a Chinaman and make a
follower of him, but it is only for a
short time. He generally takes up
her religion because of friendly
feeling or perhaps because of affec-
tion for his teacher" said All Yen.
when he finds there is nothing
held out but her religion for him in
the end. he will. most generally
drift back to his ola ways.
Many Cinnamon fall In love
with their missionary teacher and
when she goes on and teachers
some one else, he becomes jealous.
He may seek revenge by accom-
plishing her ruin, like many Amer
leans do
The largest part of Spokane's
Chinatown is Immediately beside
the city hall. There, through the
east windows of the second and
third floors Of the municipal build
