CHOLERA SPREADS,
CITY IS ALARMED
Belated Protective Measures
Accomplish Little Against
St. Petersburg Epidemic.


ST. PETERSBURG, Via Eydkuhnen,
June 24.-Taough the official figures to-
day place the number of cholera cases
in st. Petersburg at S1S. careful estl-
mates made by those in a position TO
know, are to the effect that there are
fully 1000 cases.
The conditions have grown steadily
worse until now there is an increase of
nearly 100 eases a day and within a few
days the situation will be as grave as
It was at its worst last year
About one-third of the cases are prov
ing fatal Within the last few DAYS
many persons have been stricken in the
streets and other public places and the
entire city is rapidly becoming panic
stricken.
The Sunday closing Of vodka shops in
the hope Of decreasing drunkenness and
thereby removing one of the incentives
to the disease has proved % no avail
owing to the lax enforcement of the
closing order. The government is again
talking OF building a complete sewerage
system iR the CO -'tal-as 1t does when
ever the cholera situation becomes so
serious. but such a move can furnish no
relief IN tue present epidemic, as il will
take years to get such a system under
way
Every hospital in the city is crowded
with cholera patients, and many large
buildings are being improvised into hos
pitfalls.
Reports from the provinces say that
the disease IS getting a firm foothold
throughout the country, the spread in
Finland being particularly menacing.

tee Of the council decided Tuesday
noon, to propose plan TO the new
commission by which differences may

The idea is to retain Inspectors
Claxton and Heck to inspect old build

while all new plans and permits will
be passed upon by the new depart

Corporation Counsel Hally told the
aldermen that the new commission
has no authority at the present time

Judges Give Decision in Favor Of At.
torney, Without Even Hearing
From Defendants Counsel

That former Judge William Look
has been guilty Of no conduct TO war
rant his disbarment from the prac.
tice OF law was the decision. Tuesday
morning. of Judges Hosmer. Murphy
and Muffin, who for two days had lis.
tened TO testimony on the charge OF
unprofessional conduct, II being al
legged that he applied to his own use
a trust fund turned over to him by
one Rudolph Knorr.
The case against this well-known A..
torney was particularly weak. 30 much
so that the judges thought II unnsces.
sary to listen TO the argument that
his attorneys, Don NJ. Dickinson and
Fred A. Baker. were prepared to make
Not a single charge made against him
was sustained, and long before the de-
cislon was announced the result was
anticipated.
The decision Of the judges. In part
follows:
This proceeding Is based upon the
claim that there had been a misap'
preparation OF a trust fund. Ii Ia
clearly established that the trust Gre
ated was to be determined upon the
death OF the witness. Knorr. II is
shown on behalf OF the trustee that
he has been and now Is ready TO per
form the conditions OF the trust.
Without passing upon the method
taken to administer the trust, We are
OF the opinion that no such state OF
facts is presented by this record as To
warrant the court In taking the action
requested. However, in view Of the
strained relations now shown to ex-
list between the trustee and Mr. Knor.
we think that the fund should be
forthwith turned over TO a new trus-
tee"
LOOK was charged with the misap-
preparation OF a trust fund Of $3.50
turned over to him by Knorr, to be
paid over after his death to the Little
Sisters OF the Poor. His defense was
that the money was turned over ~
him absolutely, and was not to De
paid until after Knorris death. Knorr
is still living, and Look claimed that
he had never been called upon to hand
over the amount. He testified that
while the amount was turned over TO
him absolutely, he always regarded 1t
az a trust fund, and has always been
prepared TO pay II over upon demand,
having kept the money for that pur-
pose in his office safe. Look said he
had been treated as a leper since the
disbarment proceedings were started,
nearly all his clients deserving him.
