| Colonization Of consumptivcs in the
Southwest was the scheme advocated by
DR.. A. NJ. Forster IN a paper presented
before the sociological section on the best
kind Of employment for tuberculosis
cases, who. when discharged from hos
pitfalls and sanatoria relapse into their
former condition because Of bad environ
ment
| DR.. Forster demonstrated that the pres
ent machinery in the anti-tuberculosis
campaign was inadequate, and that Il
did not provide for the tuberculosis suf-
ferer at the most critical time in his
eXistence-when he left the sanatorium
or hospital In view Of this fact. he
advocated that institutions in which tu-
berculOsis cases were treated should be
equipped with large farms. upon which
/ the cOnvalescent consumptives might
learn the rudiments Of agriculture. He
advocated that large colonies OF con-
sumptives gathered from sanatoria IN all
parts Of the United States should be
formed in the Southwest or land which
could be irrigated with comparatively
little expense, and that here they should
live and work for the rest Of their lives

many of those who went 70 work at

CONTRACT LET FOR
MCELROY FOUNTAIN
Lakeside Park Ornament Will
Be Constructed of Native
White Marble

OAKLAND, Sept. 1.-The park COM
mission let contract this afternoon TO
the Colusa sandstone company to erect
the McElroy memorial fountain in
Lakeside park which will cost s106 612.
The fountain will be built of Georgia
marble, California stone which is
mined in Colusa county and is used in
ornamental building in all parts of the
country.
The commissioners were assured by
the finance committee of the city ooun-
ell last night that they would be al
lowed an extra amount OF money In
the budget to provide for the work.
Part of the cost will be met by private
subscriptions of friends of John z. Nc
E1roy, who died while serving for the
fourth time city attorney.
The memorial will be one of the Su-
perb structures of the new park sys-
tenn. Situated In Lakeside park, where
there are to be a bandstand, a classic
boathouse, and similar decorative struc-
lures, 1t is designed for its surround
ings.
The base will be massive circle of
white marble, with tiers of seats
and promenades above and marble
stairs on four sides. At the top will
be a basin of marble for the fountain.
and a tall jet surmounting the whole
structure. The water will be supplied
by one of the artesian wells which have
been found and developed in the park.

CIVIL SERVICE IS
DESIRED BY POLICE
Heads OF Oakland Department
Appear Before Charter Free
holders to Suggest Plan

OAKLAND, Sept 1.-Civil service
new charter have been taken up by the
freeholders and will probably be draft
ed into clauses this week. The desires
of the police department were laid be-
fore the board by Superintendent of
Police Wilson and Captain of Detec-
tives Petersen, but the ramifications of
the problem were such that the free
holders deferred the preparation of that
part of the proposed new charter for
further investigation.
The fire department would be gov
erned by the same civil service provi-
sions as the police e.department, and it is
yet to be determined whether the en-
ployes of other departments of the
municipal government will be amen
able to the civil service rules There
is difference of opinion in the free
holders as to the practicability of civil
service in branches of the city which
are to be under the supervision of the
commissioners.
The policemen's idea is for civil
service board which would also sit as
trial board in cases of policemen. Such
a plan, argued Captain Petersen, is en-
tirely compatible with the commission
plan of government.
The civil service board should be
appointed by the mayor, but be remov-
able only by the commissioners" said
Petersen. The commissioner of public
health and safety should have general
supervision of the department, shape
its policies and enforce the rules. For
small misdemeanors he should have
the power to fine policemen. But cases
involving dismissal from the force
should be tried by the civil service
board. over which the commissioner
would preside and which would make
its findings to him for action. Thus
there would be checks on the power of
the mayor, of the commissioner and of
the civil service board. This would put
the force as nearly out of politics as is
possible.
Salaries should be equal to those
in San Francisco and Los Angeles and
the amounts should be named in the
charter. For patrolmen there should
be a graded scale. so that meritorious
service for more than one year would
be rewarded"
Freeholders Shaw, Chamberlain and
Hamb have been named as a commit
tee to take UP the framing OF the civil
service provisions.

DYNAMITE DAMAGES
TO EXTENT OF $500
Seattle Building Under Con-
struction by Open Shop Men

SEATTLE, Sept. 1.-The damage to
the new steel Lyons building under
erection at Third avenue and James
street ana to the windows of neighbor-
ing buildings by last nights explosion
of dynamite is estimated at $4,000.
Dynamite was placed in the electric
wire conduits under the elevator shaft
and exploded by use of cap and fuse.
The building is being constructed by
the principal open shop building cor
poration in the Pacific northwest. and
not one union man had been employed
on the JOB, but there had been no spe-
cial manifestation of hostility by the
unions recently.
The police have no clue to the dyna-
miter. The man arrested while running
wildly out of an alley behind the build
ing proved that he was playing cards
in a gambling resort and grabbed chips
and fed when he heard the crash of
glass around him, which he believed
was due to a police raid
