$4,000 TO AID AFFLICTED
Donations Make Possible Pur-
chase of Sanitarium Site

RIVERSIDE, Nov. 3o.-Eight public-sprited
citizens have responded to the appeals of
County Health Officer Tucker and City Health
Officer Griffith and subscribed $4,000 for the
development of a sanatorium four miles east
of the city This donation has made pos
sible the purchase of site Of hfty-seven
acres four miles east of the city at the base
of the Box Springs mountains.
The institution will be known as tho Box
Springs sanatorium, and its purpose is to pro-
vide place where all afflicted with tubercu-
Iosis may receive the best possible care at
minimum of expense. One citizen has prom
ised to provide new cottage every year,
and eastern people of means have intimated
that they will erect memorial cottages. 1t
is expected that the fraterna orders and
churches will also see in the project the So
luton of of their own problems and
provide cottages for the afflicted who come
under their jurisdiction. 1t Is likely that
the funds will be greatly increased by suo-
scription from other citizens outside the eight
original donors, who comprise Mayor Evans,

George N. Reynolds, A c. Lovekin, George

lefts to the body. but made no i'm
preston on Atteu, who kept up Il
series of cutting left jabs to the face
and head. In the fourth Attell shot a
right to the jaw and Moore went
down for the count. Abe's nose was
bleeding and Moore's eyes were puffed
up at the bell.
Moore surprised the crowd in the
seventh by opening UP and putting
Attell down with a right swing. He
sat in the middle of the ring with his
ieBS CIOSSeu, lduSllHS, waiting lpI tlle

MAY CAUSE NEW SUITS
Orange County Treasurer Advised
Not to Cash Warrants

SANTA ANA Nov. 3O.-A peculiar compi-
cation has arisen in connection with the Or
ange county salary act, which has caused
much litigation in the last twenty months.
A decision recently made by the second ap
pelate court, verifying a prior decision that
the payment of deputy county officers
legal under the act, supposed to have
settled all phases of the trouble Now comes
Attorney Victor Montgomery with advice to
County Treasurer Joplin not to cash the
twenty SIS warrants due and undrawn by
Deputy District Attorney Finley. Finley had
not drawn his warrants during the litigation
over the salary act, receiving his pay from
his chief, District Attorney Davis.
Attorney Montgomery is Of the belief that
the district attorney has some interest in the
warrants, and declares that legally he cannot
receive any part of deputy's salary paid by
the county On the expectation that the case
will go into the courts, Deputy Finley refuses
to comment on the situation.
