.F|DO IS KNOCKED :
BY A COUNCILMAN
Bartel Says Dogs Should Al
ways Be Muzzled-Oth-
er Council Matters.

Dogs muzzled the entire year is
Councilman Bartels desire, voiced at
council last night in the form Of a
resolution, but council asked for re-
spite to think the matter over.
The practice of the five-cent shows
of this city in allowing people to
stand up in the rear aisles, blocking
exits while a film is being shown, was
condemned by Councilman Burdsall
last night, and the matter, after being
talked over for some time, was re-
ferred to the police department., with
orders to stop this practice, which is
a violation of the state laws.
Asking that it be taken as the sense
OF council that North Third street
from D to the south end of the C. &
O. railway depot be widened, council
man Evans brought this matter to the
attention Of council, and the matter
was referred to the board OF works.
This part Of North Third street is very
narrow, caused by the c. & o. tracks
running down the middle Of the street
leaving q narrow part OF the street on
the east side for wagons and other
vehicles. Several serious accidents
have narrowly been averted there, ow-
ing to the proximity of the tracks, and
the passageway for the vehicles. The
improving of the street, from D to
Main street, was also asked. The
street widening will be taken up with
the railroad officials, and il they don't
coincide with councils views ON the
subject, the case will be taken to the
courts, Mayor Zimmerman stated.
An appropriation Of 500 for the hire
of an expert accountant to unravel the
street improvement funds which was
suggested yesterday by the state ac-
countants, was asked Of council last
night in a communication from the
board of works. A sum of $500 for the
purchase and installation OF market
scales at the market house was also
asked in the same Recommendation
These appropriations will be up later.

LONDON, March 5.-The increase
Gripping of industries resulting from
the British coal strike have swelled
the number OF idle working men to
nearly two millions today, with esti-
mated aggregate financial losses of
IS, ,00O, 900 daily.
The total absence of rioting or des-

the practical certainty that parliament
will enact a minimum wage law. Con-
ditions today became critical regarding
food stun supplies. Prices have been
doubled and the canned goods supply
was fast vanishing.
The railroads have abandoned all
freight trains. On the grounds of hu-
manity, based on the almost certainty
that thousands will soon be facing
starvation Premier Asquith today
made final appeal for mutual conces-
sions to terminate the coal strike, but
both sides remained obstinate.
The practice of importaing foreign
coal in any considerable quantities are
considered almost hopeless.
England. Scotland and Wales face
total trade and traf1lc paralysis as a
result of the steadily growing labor
stagnation. With prices of the necessi-
ties of life soaring. the situation has
became gravely critical. American and
other tourists are cutting their So

CAPSULE REPORT
ON THE HOSPITAL

The following are excerpts from
the special committee hospital re-
port, appearing in full elsewhere in
this paper:
Committee believes the voting of
public funds for the use of the hos
pital rests on each councilman's
sense OF duty.
A full and complete financial re-
port is imperative before council
may appropriate money for the in
stitution.
The plan Of self-perpetuating
board OF trustees is held detrimen-
tai to the best interests Of the hos.
pital.
Lack of cordiality on the part Of
the hospital authorities toward a
majority OF physicians is detrimen-
tai, not encouraging them to use
their influence to bring patients to
the hospital.
We can see no reason why the
city should be called upon to make
up a deficit. averaging 4Sc per pa
tient per day. creased as a result
OF patients being sent to the hos
pital by the Pennsylvania railroad.
the G. & Q. railroad and by other
corporations, and by physicians
from without the city or state. 1t is
in evidence that the trustees have
failed to make an effort to have
these corporations pay the full cost
Of providing for patients they send
to the hospital"
The committee recommends:
that such of the Board of Trustees
which shall serve as authorized by
the original articles of incorpora-
ton, shall number six, who shall
consist of reputable citizens Of
said city, who are interested in hos
pital work, and without any refer
ence to any political or sectarian
influence. and for the declared pur-
pose of keeping the government
and management Of such hospital
always in the hands of citizens in
terested in it's work and clear and
free from any political or sectarian
Influence whatever and as in such
articles of incorporation more fully
set forth: that, in addition to these,
the city be privileged to appoint
two citizens to represent the city;
making it's total membership ten,
and that the board be completed.
(the same as at presently by the i'd
dition of two members Of the medi-
cal profession to be elected by and
from the licensed physicians OF
said city. and of Wayne County.
