Complaint is general in that sec
ton of the city lying directly east
of the Union Iron works and south
of the S. F. & N. transfer tracks,
that requests for garbage wagons
meet no response.
In the southwestern portion of
the square bounded by Lidgerwood
street on the west and Carlisle ave-
nue. on the south is small four
apartment, one story tenement
house. Three of the apartments
are occupied. In the three families
are nine children. The conditions
of the three occupied places are
rendered unsanitary because of the
bad ventilation afforded, each
apartment consisting of three
rooms In continuous order from
front to rear. the two inner ones
having no side ventilation, The
toilets are located In the imme-
date rear of these, within six feet
of the kitchen doors. Back of a
toilet is a pile of disease breeding
garbage. At the corner of the tene-
ment and within four feet of the
building is another pile into which
has been dumped the waste from
the kitchen, soapsuds, etc. The lot
in the immediate rear is a jungle
OF old cans, waste refuse and
miscellaneous matter.

DAILY EXAMINATION

General dissatisfaction and pro-
test has arisen among the business
houses and shops over the board
of health order that employees
must be examined every morning
by physicians, the same as school
children. To the average business
man 1t has looked more like a fat
thing for doctors shy on practice
and of no practical necessity. The
aggregate bill daily for this serv'
ice would run into the thousands.
The board today decided that

ANOTHER STAR
WITNESS FOR
CLE|NSPRUNG

Another star witness for the de-
tense was introduced this morning
in the Clein murder trial in the
person of Private John G. Bird of
Fort Wright, who testified to GO
ing over the scene of the murder
of John Saudawski at the military
reservation on March Is and find.
ing no body there.
Prosecutor Pugh tried hard to
shake the testimony of Bird on the
main points and succeeded in en-
tangling him as to some of the de-
tails, but as to the vital phase of
the body of the murdered man not
being there, according to Bird, the
witness chung to the first state
ment made.
Toward the conclusion of the
testimony of Bird, which consumed
nearly the entire morning session,
Pugh asked Bird If he had received
any consideration for giving testi-
mony in the case, to which he re-
piled that he had not. Asked if his
company fund had been enriched
by any contribution from the coun.
sci for Clein, he said that he did
not know, but had heard that a
donation of this kind had been
made and afterward refused.
Bird then caused surprise and a
smile at the expense of the prose-
cutor when he said that his COM
rade on the company maneuvers on
March Is, Private Poppeck. had
told told him that Mr.. Pugh had
given him $3.50 to go over the line
of march followed on that day for
the purpose of informing the state
From the testimony of Bird 1t
appears that his company had
been at the north end of the milit-
airy reservation on March Is, six
days before the body of Saudawski
was found, and that in returning to
the fort in the afternoon Bird
while acting as an outpost, passed
over the little knoll on which the
dead mans body was found. His
comrade, Poppeck. passed to the
side of the knoll and Bird said he
made the ascent in order that he
might look over the country, when
1t would have been easier to GO
around the base of the hill.
On cross examination Bird said
that he drank occasionally, but was
duly sober on the morning that he
made the march and sober today
His attorneys saved him the neces-
sity of answering Pugh's question
If he were sober yesterday after
noon, when called as a witness but
excused because of not being in
condition to testify.
Bird appeared uncertain as to the
points of the compass, said he
could tell nothing about the lay of
the ground from photographs and
maps exhibited to him, but that he
could point out his course if again
on the spot.
Private Boyer. who testified yes
terday afternoon to no dead man
being on the little knoll on March
9 or 10, was recalled for further
examination this morning. He still
adhered to his original story. On
cross examination he had admitted
going over his story of the day
with different soldiers at the fort
last night, but denied that it was
for the purpose of Strengthening
himself as to the facts.

Smiling Joe" they call him. The
name tells the story.
There were some young doctors
in New York about four years ago
who believed that fresh air and
outdoors was a great part in the
cure of any disease. They bought
small cottage on the ocean, nam
ed 1t Sea Breeze, and looked
around for patient.
Down in the hot, stuffy slums
they found eight-year-old Joe Bar
ron. His back was twisted. his
legs crooked, and he had tubercu-
losis Of the bone His was the
worst case they could find.
But Joe, the brave, helpless lit
tie Joe, smiled up into the faces
of the doctors.
And that smile went clear
through the barriers of profess
sional reserve. into the hearts of
those doctors.
They took Joe out to Sea Breeze
and strapped him to bamboo
board. like a papoose. 1t hurt
terribly, but Joe smiled.
They kept him out in the air
when it was cold, also when it was
hot. But Joe just smiled.
They worked over mis- little
twisted frame, they tortured him
as doctors must torture people
sometimes to make them well. But
they couldn't drive the smile
away.
Just how much Joe suffered, no.
body but he ever knew. But he
smiled always.
One day, in 1905. President
Roosevelt visited Sea Breeze.
There were tears in his eyes as he
looked at the little crooked twist
ed boy. Joe didn't know who the
big man with glasses was, but he
smiled his happy baby smile.
