OFFICES STAY AS ARE.
Inspectors Duties Will Not Be Com
bined.

Until the new milk ordinance is
passed, the offices of milk inspector,
food inspector and inspector of weights
and measures will not be combined
into one and given to one man and an
assistant.
1t was decided by the city commits
sioners this morning that one man
couldn't handle this work until the
new milk. ordinance had been passed
and had relieved the milk inspector of
a number of duties. =

Commissioner Tandy had another
idea 1--WE wanted the offices to re-
main as they are SO that each man

when the new ordinance passes we can

what I think about it, assented Com

SPANISH HAVE LEARNED
But They Have No Hope of Winning
American Yacht Race.

Marb1ehead. Mas, Aug. 1s.-"We
are learning a lot about, racing, even
if we are not winning prizes" said one
of the Spanish yachtsmen as he bowed
his way down the club house float to-
day and started off for the second race
with his American antagonists.
Although all the Spanish yachtsmen
were hopeful that their boats might
draw nearer the three American
yachts before the races were over and
perhaps win a cup or two, even the
most sanguine of them were forced to
admit that their chances of winning
the President Taft and Governor Dra-
per cups were very slight.
Z All the Spaniards expressed keen
regret on learning yesterday that the
Harpoon had lost the initial race of
the series through an unintentional
foul of the fifth mark.
1t has transpired that although the
Chonta of the Spanish fleet led the
other two boats in their chase after
the Americans yesterday, she was bad
ly handicapped through a leak in her
fin keel. On the way over from Spain
the keel was slightly wrenched but
Captain Arana looked it over Sunday
and thought that it was tight In the
big sea yesterday some of the seams
opened UP and the Chonta's crew was
pumping during most of the race. AS
the rules do not permit yachts to be
hauled out during the series, the
Chonta's mishap is rather a serious

LEGG'S BAD SHOWING.
Champion Golfer Shows Reversal OF
Form at Denver.

Country Club, Denver. Colo, Aug.
1s.-It was the turn of H. G. Legg.
the title holder, to show a reversal of
form today in the third round of
the trans Mississippi golf tournament.
The Minnikahada expert managed
to finish the morning round one up
on his opponent, Grant Chamberlain
of Hutchinson, Kan, who played in
the best form he has yet shown, but
not until after he had been down al
most to the eighteen hole journey.
Legg was off badly from the first
tee and his mistakes on the first hole
seemed to put him off. although he
halved the hole. Legg had completed
the first three days play of the tourn-
ament without mistake, but he has
very lame foot and the worry over
the fact that the physicians may COM
pei him to submit to an operation be-
fore he has chance to play off for
the title has evidently shaken him,
although he got back to something
like his true form on the last few
holes of the morning round. At the
fourteenth hole, which eliminated a
dozen of the best golfers in the west
in the qualification round, Legg
drove three balls into the water and
then resigned the hole. Chamberlain
was thought to offer little opposition
to Legg's progress to the finals, but
surprised MS most drOenI ADMIRERS Dy
his steadiness and accuracy.
Lawrence Bromfield, the Denver
school boy. who is the last of the local
men in the championship play was
obviously nervous in his play with S.
B. Young of Omaha.
Young took the first hole by keep
ing straight down the course, while
Bromfield was wild on his drive.
On the second green Young laid him
styme and BromfieId overran his putt.
losing the hole. After the first two
disastrous holes. however, Bromfield
got into his stride and is expected to
lead his opponent at the finish.
The 36 hole of match play today
showed the real game of which w NJ.
ssheehan Of Des Moines. is capable.
Paired with John Redick, of Omaha,
he is against o-~ of the most consist
ent golfers in the present tournament,
but if he can keep the pace he set in
Ian offers the biggest obstruction TO
Bromfeld's chance TO meet Legg in the
finals. The directors of the Trans
mississippi Association will hold their
formal meeting late today and will
elect officers and choose the course on
which the 1911 tournament will be play
ed. There is no doubt that the tourn-
ament will go to the Omaha County
club.

president of the Transmississippi As

ASKS FOR CHILDREN.
Missouri Woman Thought They Were
Having Good Care.

Kansas City. Mo-, Aug. 1s.-Until a
few days ago, according to a story told
the Wyandotte county juvenile court
yesterday. Mrs. Eva Smelzer who says
she is of Randolph, Mo-, believed that
Ter children, Media, years old, and
Beaumont. an infant, were well cared
for in homes in Kansas City, Kan.
Last week Mrs. Smelzer told w. w.
Lacy, probation officer, she received a
letter from a Mrs. Elizabeth Bridewell,
who formerly conducted a founding
home in Kansas City, Kan, telling her
that the boy was dead and had been
buried in the potter's field, and that
Media had been adopted by Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Long, Thirty-second street and
Washington avenue, Kansas City, Kan.
Mrs. Smelzer told the court that she
left Randolph and hunted up the
Longs. who showed her a paper signed
by Mrs Bridewell giving consent 10
the adoption, for which the Longs paid
Mrs. Bridewell So. Mrs. Smelzer said
that she had been sending 81 a week to
Mrs. Bridewell for the keep of the chill
dren.
Mrs. Smelzer appealed to the Juvenile
court to be allowed to take Media to
her sister in Topeka. The court re-
voked the adoption and ordered the
Life Line Mission to care for the child
until the case could be investigated.

other friends who have not returned,
have Travelled from Algiers to Edin-
burg, touching the Azores and Ma
deira on the way over and reaching
the continent first at Gibraltar.
1T has been a wonderful trip, ;"
acknowledged Mr.. Atchison, but it
was a lot of work. Our schedule
necessitated our hurrying good deal
and compelled us to scamper through
places in a day where we might well
have spent an indefinite amount of
time We were given an audience by
the pope and saw the Passion play at
Oberammergau, rode up the Rhine
and spent a week in Paris and four
days in London. 1t will take us a
good while to digest all we saw and
even if we never make another jour
ney like it we have recollections and
an idea of the continental countries
which will last US always.
Now I am back at work, gather

what the office has on hand. 1t
means several days work in catch
