DESIRE FOR STRAIGHT NOSE
LEADS TO BIG DAMAGE SUIT
Young Barber Says Specialists Botched
Operation and He Waits
$4,000

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-THE de-
sire for a more systematic nose got
Salvatore D'Amico, a young barber
into a peck of trouble and resulted In
the filing yesterday of two unusual
suits for $4,000 damages against the
John H. woodbury. Dermatological in
stitute and F. L. Weir, one of its ope-
Iators.
From the statement submitted to the
court it appeared that Salvatore was
sensitive about a depression in the
bridge of his nose, and March IS, 1907
called at the office of the institute on
Chestnut street to find out If the defect
could be remedied or concealed. he
says he was assured that it could

$50 D'Amico declares he paid the de-
PENDANTS $45 on account and that they
guaranteed to give him in return per-
fectly straight nose.
The operation, he explains, consisted
of filling in the cavity underneath the
skin with "a flesh producing sub
stance" which Salvatore says he after
ward learned was nothing more than
paraffine. The operation, Salvatore as
serts, did not turn out as guaranteed.
Instead of the paraffine building up the
flesh it gradually developed hole and
D'Amico suffered considerable pain. He
declares that his treatment at the in

some important papers, and left lying
there.
.ecause Of the tardiness of the cor
oner's office in investigating the mat
ter and reporting it to the detectives
the latter are considerably handi-
capped, and if the death was the result
of violence the murderer has had ample
time to make his escape from the
country,
The autopsy was held early Monday
afternoon, when DIR. George w. Camp
bell found Saulters had suffered frac-
tuI s of fourteen ribs, one Of which
nenetrated the liver and a confusion
over the right eye.
The result of this autopsy was sup
pressed both by the coroner'5 deputy,
Fred Williams, and the autopsy sur
geon, who delayed the information un-
til yesterday morning before it was re-
rted to the police.
d. p. Foley of Tacoma, a cousin Of
the dead man, will arrive in Los An
geles probably tomorrow and will make
thorough investigation of the mat
ter, An inquest will be held later.

CITY INSPECTION IS
NEEDED OVER STATE
| DAIRYMhN COMPLAINS OF DIS
ELIMINATION
Says Four Thousand Gallons of Cream
Are Received Daily from the
North That Has Not
Been Inspected

The proper inspection of milk from
daries in Imperial valley and as far
north as Fresno and Tulare is a prob
lem the Los Angeles board of health
came face to face with at it's session
last night
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the board by a letter from
Gus Hansen, who conducts dairy in
Orange county on the Santa Ana line.
He declared the city ordinances re-
curing dairies to be in a sanitary
condition and keeping them so by prop
er inspection was most excellent, but
that it was applied only to local dairies
and did not include dairies that ship
milk into Los Angeles from many miles
away. He stated 1000 gallons of sweet
cream came to Los Angeles every day
from Fresno, Tulare and other north
ern points that We're not inspected and
that to his knowledge did not conform
to the Los Angeles city ordinances.
George Hood chief milk inspector,
told the board Mr.. Hansen was right,
but as the health department did not
have sufficient funds it was impossible
to inspect all the points from which
milk is shipped to consumers in this
city.
These outside dairies are inspected
by the state, but the inspection is not
thorough because there is only one
state dairy inspector for all of South
ern California. Health Officer Powers
was instructed by the board to COM
municate with this inspector and call
his attention to the need of more
thorough inspection.
This is probably the only matter in
which the ordinances of Los Angeles
spread out not only all over Los An
geles county, but Orange, Riverside,
San Bernardino and other surround
ing counties. Los Angeles city coun-
ell passes ordinances regulating how
dairies must be kept. Not more than
two or three of these dairies are in the
city limits, but all must conform to
these ordinances, wherever they are,
If they do not conform they are not
permitted to sell milk in Los Angeles.

COUNCILMEN TARDY;
ARE TOLD TO RESIGN
PRESIDENT PEASE SUGGESTS
ALTERNATE COURSE
LEGISLATORS Fall to Get Together Until
Nearly an Hour After Appointed
Time and Are Scolded
by Chairman

Niles Pease, president Of the city
council. is one OF the most even tenn
pered of men, but he very nearly lost
that even temper yesterday, and while
his indignation was aroused he said
some things that made the members of
the council vince.
"If I couldn't attend to the city's 5
business on time I'd resign my job as
councilman" said President Pease, and
his eye glittered as he fixed it on Coun-
cilmen Wallace, Clampitt, Lyon and
Wren. He said several other things to
the same effect. and every member
there knew all he said and more was
justified.
The council is scheduled to meet at
10 o'clock. Busy men and women who
are to appear before the council in con-
nection with some important petition
or protest art notified to be on hand at
10 O'Clock A number of them were
present yesterday at that hour, but the
council was not. President Pease and
Councilman Healy were in the coun-
Gil chamber when the hands OF the
clock pointed to 10. They were the
only ones who were there at that time.
It was nearly half an hour later when
Wren showed up in the committee
room, and after HIN Wallace, Lyon
and Clampitt struggled in.
Brings in Tardy Ones
That made a quorum but the four
late members would not go into the
council chamber and hold the regular
session. Bert Farmer, sergeant-at-
arms, was sent after them, and they
paid no heed to him. David Carroll,
minute clerk of the council. tried to in
duce them to go into the council cham
ber. He returned and declared he
would have to give up. Finally Presi-
dent Pease, with blood in his eye, went
after the dilatory council, and at 1880,
nearly an hour after the appointed
time, the council did convene.
There were only six members in the
council chamber, which gave a bare
quorum. Twice Councilman Wallace
left his seat without the permission of
the chair and went into the commit
tee room, and the entire proceedings
had to stop until he returned.
Although 1t was late in getting to-
gether yesterday morning, the council
finished its weeks work by noon, which
is a record breaker. Heretofore a
morning and an afternoon session have
been necessary to complete the work,
and it has frequently happened the
council has had to adjourn Tuesday
evening and continue the work some
other day during the week.
There was not a great deal of bust
ness to transact, but getting through
by noon was so unusual that several
members hunted for. the reason. After
prolonged deliberation they concluded
the work had progressed so rapidly
because Councilman Dromgold was not
present to make a speech on every
topic that came up.
Dromgold is on leave of absence for
thirty days. and the council looks for
four more sessions when the work will
be concluded quickly.

CHANCE FOR COUNCIL
TO RIGHT A WRONG
MAY UNDO "RlVER BED" C0UN'
CIL'S WORK
Spur Track Asked for Santa Fe Where
Similar Privilege Was Given
Southern Pacific over
Protest

The present city council is given an
opportunity to partially right a great
wrong done by the "river-bed" council
of odorous fame that held office three
years ago. This opportunity comes in
the application of NJ. H. Hellman for a
spur track on Commercial, Ducommon,
Jackson and other streets. The appli-
cation has been pending for several
weeks, but it was referred to the board
of public works by the council yester-
day. The final hearing will be held
August 81. The council is disposed to
grant the spur track franchise but be-
lieves it runs too close to the curb in
one place.
If Mr.. Hellman is granted this spur
he will turn it over to the Santa Fe for
operation. If the Santa Fe gets this
spur it will get what it asked the
"river-bed franchise" council for, but
which went to the Southern Pacific,
which owned the river-bed council.
A little more than three years ago
the Santa Fe asked the council to
grant it a spur track franchise on
Jackson and other streets, over prac-
ticaly the same course Chat the pres
ent spur is to run. The next week the
| Southern Pacific made application FOR
a spur over the same ground. The
property owners on Jackson street and
the other streets affected by the spur
were almost unanimous in their demand
that the spur be given to the Santa
Fe.> They represented the Southern Pa
cific had covered most of the streets in
that neighborhood with spur tracks,
and there would be no opening for the
Santa Fe if the Jackson street spur
was also given to the Southern Pacific.
But the council heard its masters
voice and the Southern Pacific got the

Count Karl zay Seized at Budapest
While Planning to Release His
imprisoned Father

VIENNA, Aug. 17.-Count Karl Zay
has been seized by force at Budapest
at the instigation of his mother and
taken to a private lunatic asylum
Some years ago she confined her hus-
band in an asylum, and since then
Count Karl has been estranged from
his mother and has lived in Geneva.
He determined to obtain his fathers
release by legal means if possible, but
failing those he was prepared to use
force.
He came to Budapest a few days
ago to put his plans into operation and
took rooms under an assumed name.
His mother, however, heard of his ar
rival, and having obtained a decree OF
lunacy from the court sent four pri-
vate detectives to his hotel.
They found the count in bed and car
ried him off to the asylum. The SUI
perintendent declares that Count Karl
is perfectly sane, and says that, unless
he is taken away by his family, he will

stitute covered a period of eighteen
months, and he underwent a number of
minor operations. An additional fee
of $25 was demanded and agents of the
institute assured him that everything
would be all right when the "hole"
healed up.
The plaintiff says 1t didn't heal un-
der the treatment given him, and that
he consulted a nose specialist, and was
then informed for the first time that
the highly recommended "flesh produc-
ing substance" used in his nose had
been nothing more than paraffine. His
new doctor declared that the insertion
of the stuff beneath the skin had
caused very serious injury to the
nose. The injured nose was then given
new treatment, which consisted of
cleaning out the wound, and skin from
another part OF the patients body had
to be grated on his nose. For three
months D'Amico was under the care of
his physician.
