CITY SAVED FROM
ANOTHER MYSTERY
Bones in Alley Found to BE Dis.
carded Property of
Physician

Several human bones. a skull and
hand. found in an alley back of his
barn by David Shapiro, a peddler, at
No. 1873 Eliot-st., Tuesday morning,
led to considerable excitement in po-
lice headquarters ari the launching
of another homicide mystery.
The mystery was brought to an
abrupt stop when 1t was discovered
by Times reporter that the bones
were the property Of DR.. J. j. Jacobs,
a dentist who had kept them In stor-
age for five years after graduating
from college. and then had them sent
to his former landlady, Mrs. M. Sill
verman, Of No. 176 Rowena-st. He
neglected, however, to inform Mrs.
Silverman that the bones were COM
ing. He had gone to California to
establish an office in that state and
was having his furniture taken from
storage and sent to him. Mrs. Silver
man opened the box of bones and on
discovering the contents pitched them
into the alley.
Tuesday morning Shapiro, greatly
excited over his find, set all the cor
oners and detectives on edge by turn
ing In an alarm.

the payroll, which was sent to Secre-
tary F. w. Smith, Monday noon. came
too late for proper verihcation, as II
is necessary for the council to pass

ton that the city departments must
be taught to recognise the OWL SER
vice commission as a regularly con-

The payroll Of the Board of Health

THE company Is willing to make
the extension In compliance with the

r.. Tuesday. "The resolution which
the council committee on public util.

council to prepare for confirmation by

not mentioned In the agreement. As
Ito what understanding the city ON

the provisions in the agreement for
extensions, l have nothing to say. The
terms are very clearly stated and are
easily construed. The company will
refuse to accept the resolution"
Corporation Counsel Lawson has
drafted three-page resolution which
gives the company permission to build
the depot extension. The resolution
specifically states that eight-for-a.
quarter tickets must be accepted on
Fourteenth cars operating to and from
the depot over the proposed extension,
and reserves for the council the au.
thority to route the Fourteenth cars
running downtown from the depot and
also to regulate the service. The
council now has the power to do these
things by ordinance, but to make

Of It with an intensity Of interest that
was remarkable. i
The Sulzer captains were Aghtlno

ment. Defeat today meant that the
true merits Of the accusations must

read into the law of the state the
mandate that hereafter every dollar
received and expended by Z candi-'
date must be accounted for.
That the court recognized the grave
importance of the final question rails
ed was very evident. Every one Of
the black robed judges of the court
Of appeals sat bolt upright drinking
In every sentence Of the involved
arguments. And Presiding Judge Cul-
len personally wrote down extended
notes for reference later In the day.
