Santa Monica, Calf, Aug. 2O.-The
balloon California, whicn sailed from
this city last night with five men and
became lost to view in the mists over
the ocean, landed in Santa Paula, af-
ter midnight, according to messages
received from J. J. Unger, the Cali
fornia's pilot Another message from
Santa Paula this morning stated that
the balloon again had been sighted in
the air after daylight floating out to
sea. This indicated that the Califor.
Mas crew had essayed to make a re

BUSINESS BRISK
in new YORK
CITY
MERCHANTS AND BROKERS ARE
OBLIGED TO CUT VACATIONS
SHORT

New York, Aug. 20-After summer
during which business in many lines
has fallen to such a low ebb as to
come almost to a standstill, and caus-
ed men OF wealth to close their city
houses, cut down working forces and
depart full of pessimism for an enfcr-
ced vacation in the country, these
same captains Of industry are now re-
turning to the city smiling and full
of optimism weeks ahead Of their reg
ular time. BY long established Gus
tom commercial dog days are not sup
posed to end here until the arrival Of
Labor Day at the earliest and the
early return Of SO many men OF pro-
minence is attributed, not to the fact
that this is presidential year, but
to the we'll established belief that 1912
in spite OF a poor start Is to establish
a record Of exceptional business ad-
vancement The fact that the coun-
try's important crops without excep-
tion promise heavy yields and bid
fair to command prices that will re-
turn to the producers three-quarters
of billion dollars or more above
their ordinary receipts Is the most
important factor in the Improvement
that is becoming noticeable in all
lines of business. Curiously enough
after months Of political upheaval and
legislative uncertainty politics are
now rapidly becoming Of less and less
Importance, the president of one of
the largest banks in the country be-
ing responsible for the prediction
that politics will have less effect on
business than in any presidential
year in recent times. With the busi-
ness outlook reported almost without
exception to be good, it is little won
der that New York's fall influx is be-
ginning ahead Of time and that mil
lionaires and captains of industry who
a few months ago we're predicting a
disastrous year are gladly admitting
themselves poor prophets and hurry
ing back to take advantage Of the
present situation

DECLARED A
NECESSITY
WASHINGTON HEALTH DEPART.
tMENT DECLARES SANITARY
CONDITIONS BAD

The sanitary candition of kitchens
and the food service in hotels and
other places where food is served to
the public Is a matter to which most
persons who patronize them have Civ
en- at least occasional thought.
Perhaps the most common attitude
toward this subject Of the temper
ary home.9 as toward markets and
other places where food is handled or
prepared before it reaches the home
kitchen, is that it is least disturbing
to put it out Of mind and to forget
unpleasant things which, it is assum-
ed, cannot be renedied.
This Is not the right attitude, for
the subject has direct relation to
comfort and to health and is one in
which public sentiment is perhaps
the chief factor in securing regulation.
Legislation regarding the inspection
and regulation Of hotels, restaurants
and other places where meals are
served is in force in some cities and
contemplated In others. The results
Of an inspection Of restaurants and
lunchroom kitchens in Washington,
D. G., BY the board Of health indi-
cate that the matter is one which
needs to be under control, and con-
corning which the public has a right
to full Information, so that the clean
places may be patronized and the 9th
ers avoided. ven
Proper ventilation in hotel and res
taurant kitchens, suitable sanitary
conveniences for employees, and what
ever else makes for clean food are
matters Of public hygiene which are
of the same Importance as is the
case with bakeries, markets, candy
factories and other places where
food is handled
There are other matters which are
also worth considering in this connec-
tion. saiftsjs
1t is no uncommon thing to notice
in a hotel, restaurant or dining, car,
and often in those which pride them
selves on the excellence Of their SER
vice, practices which would not be
permitted If due attention was paid
to all matters Of hygiene.
For instance, 1t may be sometimes
noted that finger bowls which have
not been washed since a previous
service are placed before guests. Soil
ed napkins may also be seen occa-
sionalIy in use for wiping off table
dishes before service.
1t is certain that such practices
where they exist would not continue
if supervision by the management
was as thorough as it should be or
II patrons were not Indifferent to
them in lacking in observation.
The public owes duty to the man
agement in such matters and all such
violations Of the laws Of hygiene and
cleanliness should be reported to the
proper person Here, as in most 9th
er instances, the remedy lies in the
hands Of the public.
On the other hand, there is no
ground for the general suspicion Of
the methods An use IN hotels and res
taurants Probably in the majority
OF cases great deal Of attention is
given to kitchen and serving room
equipment, which is designed as re
CARDS both material and method Of
construction IN such q way that It
may be readily kept clean and good.
Hotels and restaurants are constantly
endeavorihg to make sure that food is
handled, cooked and served in a
cleanly manner.

CATRON SAYS
CHARGES ARE UNTRIIE.
DECLARES FIGHT UPON ROMERO
is MERELY A POLITICAL
SCHEME.


Senator T. B. Catron is extremely
angry over the attempt on the part
of the democrats to prevent the con
firmation OF the appointment Of Sec
undino Romero Of this city as United
States marshal for New Mexico. SEN
ator Catron made the following state
ment to the Washington Evening
Star:
This whole thing is the worst ar
ranged lot Of unmitigated lies ever
saw. In the first place, Representa-
tive Curry and everybody else knows
that there never was any agreement
to divide the New Mexico delegation
between Taft and Roosevelt. TAFT
carried the state and had all the
delegates but one, Representative
| Curry. The vote stood seven to one
Tor Taft from the time the state con
vention was held until the Chicago
one ended. The worst lie Of all is
that Romero's cousin. Frederico Cha
vez, shifted his vote at Chicago from
Roosevelt to Taft on condition that
Romero should be made marshal.
Chavez was an open Taft man
from the start in New Mexico and de-
feated a Roosevelt man for delegate.
do not care what Representative
Curry has said as to an agreement
to divide the delegation four and four
and that Chavez was to have been
one of the men voting for Roosevelt.
Mr.. Curry kept talking that sort OF
thing in the hope there would be an
agreement, but no such arrangement
was ever made by anybody
Romero Defended.
"As to Romero. he is an educated
gentleman, honest, capable and
standing high in New Mexico He is,
however. pretty firm and not liable
to permit himself to be imposed upon.
He was clerk Of the United States
district court there for thirteen years
and sheriff Of San Miguel county a
year and a half. AS sheriff he found
Judge Long, a democrat, in the jail
taking a list Of prisoners, the demo
Gratis having charged that men were
in the jail on trumped-up charges.
This was on election day in 1911.
Romero asked Judge Longs busi-
ness and invited him to leave the
jail. Romero objected to Judge Long
being there, taking the position that
he was interfering. Upon Longs re-
fusal to leave Romero put him out
on the sidewalk Romero claims that
Long cursed him and applied such
an offensive epithet that the sheriff
slapped the unwelcome visitor while
standing on the sidewalk.
Calls II Political Play.
I Anybody can see that this whole
thing is a political play on the part
Of the democrats, and that there is
nothing but politics in it. There is
no better man in New Mexico than
Romero. It Is not true, that President
Taft twice. or even once, before re-
fused to appoint Romero or that
there was any deal of any kind. It is
true, though, that Representative
Curry IS on record before the senate
committee as having heartily indors-
ed Romero for the appointment, and
as having urged him for the place
on a number Of occasions. Senator
Fall and myself also indorsed Rome
TO, and we did SO on the ground that
he is fit man"
