EGCLESTON CLEANS

One of the last official acts OF
City Treasurer M. II. Eggleston to-
day was the payment of street inn

The new treasurer gives bond for

setting up the type did not appear
before the committee.
The report comes before the city
council tonight backed by a motion
of Ostrander that IL the newspapers
were found faulty they should not
be paid for printing any of the
amendments. In case payment is
withheld and the Cowles papers sue
to recover the city will be in posi-

will show how the error was made.
The inquiry establishes one fact
conclusively that has been con-

this that the Chronicle and Review

T. R. TACKLES BOTH
BRYAN AND TOLSTOl
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, May 13.-Roosevelt,
in the current number of Outlook,
says:
There was but one point in the
platform of either party in 1908
which contained any element of
menace to the peace of the world.
This was the plank in the Bryan
platform demanding Immediate ex-
clusion by law of all Asiatic labor
ers, therefore Japanese
Coupled with this was an utterly
meaningless plank about the navy,
which, however, was intended to
convey the impression we ought to
have a navy only for defense of
coasts; that is, merely a defensive
navy; in other words, quite use
less navy"
Roosevelt discussed Count Tolls
tot, saying wherever his influence
is felt it has been for evil. He ex-
plains that II the reader is strong
enough to discriminate, something
good can be got from Tolstoi's
writing.

HURRY UP JOB

An emergency will likely be de-
clared4 by the city council at its
next meeting that the board of pub
lie works may be authorized to let
contracts for the improvement of
Southeast boulevard, from High
land, to Sixteenth avenue, Mission
avenue from Perry street to the
Mission street bridge and Third ave
nue. from Howard to Division street
without advertising for bids. The
board Of public works has sent
communications to the council ask
ing that such be done, because the
time within which the improve
ments must be completed is so lin.
tied that the board cannot observe
the customary rule of advertising
for bids 20 days before the con-
tracts are let.
Grading. curbing, parking and
paving must be done on Third ave

KNOCKED DOWN

Feeble Man of Middle Age
Robbed of Watch
and $50.

Knocked down at the door Of the
Sacred Heart hospital, where he
has been confined since March by
an operation, j. c. Montgomery.
age about so years, was subjected
to brutal treatment and robbed OF
all his money and a watch little
after o'clock last night. Mont
gomery, though very weak from his
confinement, was nearly well. He
had been out for a walk and intend
ed to start for him home in Revel-
strope, B. c.. today.
Two men leaped upon him and
felled him with terrific blow in
the face as he was about to mount
the steps leading to the main en-
trance of the hospital. One stood
with his heels on the feeble VIC
Tins chest, preventing him from
making an outcry. while the other
searched his pockets, taking be-
tween $50 and $40 and gold
watch he had carried many years.
It was with difficulty that Mont
gomery regained sufficient strength
to rise to his feet and get back into
the hospital to tell of the outrage.
The robbers escaped. >.
The ola mans face is terribly
bruised where he was struck the
first blow and 1t was feared last
night that because of his weak con-
dition his experience would have a
bad effect on his nervous system.
but his general condition seems
little the worse today. Detectives
Miles and Dial investigated the
case and believe Montgomery was
robbed by someone who had
known him In the hospital.

Ex0NERATE
FLEMING
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
FINDS THAT AMENDMENT
COPY WAS LOST IN ChRON.
iClE OFFICE AFTER BEING
CORRECTLY PREPARED.

City Clerk Charles Fleming is
held blameless for the error that
resulted in the official publication
OF amendment II by the special
committee that made an investiga-
ton of the matter on the order OF
the city council.
The committee further finds that
the omitted portion of the amend
ment became detached in some way
in the Chronicle office, and that II
is impossible for the committee to
say where or how the loss of the
omitted portion occurred.
The committee. which consisted
OF Councilmen Ostrander, Dalke
and Funk and w. ID. Vincent and
F. II. Walker of the charter revis-
ion committee, made the following
report today:
1--WE, your committee appointed
to investigate the cause of failure
to publish charter amendment No.

view as passed by the city council,

gated the manner in which the
amendment was prepared Off pub

this committee that the city clerk
prepared correct copy of charter
amendment No. II, and that he Is
in no way open to censure for fail.
ure to publish same in full.
THAT this copy consisted of two
sheets of paper attached together
by pin; that the portion which
was not published unfortunately in
some manner became detached on
account OF the number of persons
through whose hands this cpoy

Cured
I'VE recommend that in the fr-
ture publication OF all proposed
charter amendments that the city
clerk request proof before publica.
ton Is made, and carefully compare
same to see that all future docu.
ments are published correctly"
The report of the committee is
not intended to shield Fleming in
any way, as some of the committee
prior to the investigation, had said
hard things about the connection of
the clerks office with the blunder.
The committee was convinced on
the testimony submitted by the
newspapers themselves that II was
necessary to look beyond Fleming
for the person responsible for the
mistake.

When Emory started to market
his first output the acid was selling
at IL cents per pound. He offered
his product at eight cents. The
German trust promptly reduced its
price to six cents. The same thing
happened when Emory went to
market his second output.
Then he came to Washington
and asked that at least two cents

The city's cleaning and garbage

of waiting for the health officer to
order place cleaned up by the

pense of the owner OF or tenant OF

afternoon ard was but short time
forming his conclusions regarding
it. Asked what would be done to-
ward closing the schools and the.
aters, DR.. Heg said:
These are matters for later con-
sideration, but If the spread or
scarlet fever continues unchecked
it will have to be done. The order
to keep children under IS years of

DR.. Heg has declared that the

clean.
