REFUSED TO
RUN CARS
fine $1OO

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 5.-F. A.
Boutele, superintendent of the Ta-
coma Street Railway and Power Com
pany, recently fined 800 in police
court for giving the people poor
service by refusing to run cars every
five minutes on certain lines as re-
quired by a city ordinance, lost his
appeal in the superior court yester-
day afternoon, and the fine was af-
firmed.
Judge Easterday in rendering his
decision held that a five minutes car
service on the lines in question was
not unreasonable and further held
that a city has the right to regulate
its public service concerns.
The case will likely be taken to
the supreme court.

After remaining at a deadlock
from the time of converting this morn
ing until late hour this afternoon,
Frank Meredith, of this city, was
elected by the State Fair Board as
the successor to Secretary Frank
Welsh, who was also a candidate for
reelection. 1t became apparent
from the caucuses held by the mem
bers of the board prior to the con-
vening of the meeting this morning
that there was a division of opinion
among them as to who should be
elected to the Office, and it was a lit
tie after IL o'clock before they filed
into their meeting room to take up
the elections. Everything went
smooth and nice until the secretary

were elected without a dissenting
vote on the part of the board.

Skeleton Found on the Slope
of Mount TamaIpaiS With
Skull Crushed In.
SLEUTHS HAVE A CLEW
Watch and Empty WhisIEey Flask
May Lead TO the Identity of the
Murdered Girl and Her Slayer.

San Francisco, Feb. 5.--The list
of descriptions OF missing persons
on file at police headquarters of the
young woman, whose skeleton with
it's skull crushed in, was found on
the slopes of Mount Tamalpais two
days ago.
Sheriff Taylor of Marion county
visited police headquarters here to-
day following the discovery Of two
slight blows which may lead to the
identity of the murdered girl and OF
her slayer.
1t has been learned that the watch
the girl wore bore jewelers. mark

craving OF cottage, surrounded by
floral design.
Inside the case was originally
photograph but the elements have
worn away the likeness and a pho
tographer at San Rafael today was
unable to restore 1t.
The other clew which may prove
later is the finding of an empty
whiskey flask a few yards from the
body. The name elite Saloon, 81
Kearney St." is blown In the glass.
Investigation by District Attorney
Boyd, of San Rafael, reveals that
the girl probably rode to the Tamal-
pals tavern at the mountain top be-
cause her shoes were new and prae-
tically unused.
1t is believed that she was accom-
panied by man to the spot where,
she met her death; the couple hav--
ing set out from the tavern.
Employees of the tavern, however.
fail to recall woman dressed in the
clothing found upon the skeleton.
The description of the dead girl
was compiled today from remnants

the skeleton, and from weather
worn clothing

A $250O Hospital for COnta-
giouS Diseases to Be Con-
Structed in Near Future.
PROJECT FAVORED BY ALL
viii Do More Than Any Other
Thing to Prevent Spread of Con-
tagious Diseases in the City.

AS the result of a meeting of the
Salem City Health Board and the
County court, plans are now under
way for the establishment of hos
pital for contagious disease in this
city, the building to cost in the
neighborhood of 1880.
The county court was interested
by the great necessity shown by Au-
gust Huckenstein and w. s. Low,
members of the Health Board, and
DR.. o. B. Miles, city health officer.
and it is more than probable that
the body will appropriate at least
800 to the found for construct
ing the building.
Chairman Hucl1estein Explains.
August Huckestein explained to
the county court the plans already
considered by the city. He said that
with an appropriation of $1,000
from the county, the building could
be put up Immediately, as the site
for the structure had been secured
on the Salem Hospital grounds east
of the city. According TO Mr..
Huckestein's statements, the pro-
posed contagion hospital can be
operated in conjunction with the
Salem Hospital; that competent
nurses can be put in charge of pa
tients who will be given orders by
the superintendent of the Salem
hospital and in this manner afford
all tn accommodation obtainable in
the Salem Hospital wards at present.
Mr.. Huekestein informed the court
that contagious diseased patients in
the Salem Hospital are very danger
Gus to others, as recently dlscov-
cred by attending physicians, due TO
the fact germs gain entrance from
the contagious room to the operat-
ing room and greatly endanger the
life of the person operated upon.
Mr.. Low Urgent.
w. s. Low said that inasmuch as
the city was going ahead and con
struct the hospital, he thought the
county court should lend hand to-
ward the great necessity, as 1t was
as much to the county's interest TO
provide a place for unfortunate per-
sons contracting contagious di"
sease as 1t was TO the city.
City Physician Gives Views.
DR.. o. B. Miles brought to light
the fact that transient cases in the
city spread disease mostly. The
physician made it clear to the court
that to quarantine homes did not
protect the outside public thorough
ly and the protection to others In a
building containing contagious di-
sease, was impossible. DR.. Miles
pointed out many instances where
persons coming into Salem on the
trains in the grip Of a contagious
disease, are unable to secure a place
to stay or even eat, and at one time
he sheltered family in his Offices
over night, who we're victims OF
scarlet never and were unable 10 Sc
cure lodgings. These cases, he said,
can be readily taken care OF II the
proper building is provided.
Commissioner GOuIet FavOrs.
II do not know of a greater ben
eft 10 humanity we could perform
than to help in the establishment OF
hospital for contagious disease.

asked TO expueas himself on the
matter Commissioner GOulet gave

history and one of the cleyerest cap

force combined in the looting yes

of diamonds, with the exception of
$50 locket recovered.
Working from the unoccupied
basement under Steinman's store,
Collins made his way through the
flooring under the window with a
brace and bit. Standing on two
empty barrels he then cut through
the flooring of the show window
which was covered with a velvet
cloth.

The time for convening in the af-

considerable caucusing was done, and
again It was almost o'clock before
the board convened. 1t immediate
ly again proceeded to take up the
election of a secretary, and the first
ballot showed two votes for Welsh
and two for Meredith, and one for
Race. The second vote disclosed the
same results, burt when the third
vote was counted three of the ballots
were for Meredith, and the other two
for Welsh, and Meredith was de-
clared elected.
Mr.. Meredith was not a candidate
for the Office during the foreaoon
session-at least not one of those
nominated-an because of this his
election this afternoon came as a
surprise. Mr.. Meredith, himself was
not aware that he had been elected
until advised during the afta moon by
a newspaper man. He is eminently
qualified in every wav to discharge
the duties of the Office, anG his cle"-
tion meets with general appreciation.
After the election of the officers
the board took up general routine
work, and, prior to adjournment this
evening, will probably map out con-
siderable work looking to the COM
ing fair.
