Bees are buzzing in the political hive
and democrats who are members of the
jefferson CLUB will meet tomorrow
night for a smoker and "talker." No

SEWER
SYSTEM
FAVORED

Nearly all north side property own
ers have by this time declared them
selves in the matter of the proposed
deep sewer system Yet 1t is impossi-
BILE TO tell how the forces of pro"
and tcon" compare as the leading
spirits of both have failed to unite
From the best of authority obtainable
it is estimated that the opposition on
the north side has between two and
three hundred names on the various
petitions being circulated
The meeting of the antfs tonight at
kahls pavilion and the assembly OF
pros in the Lincoln school tomorrow
night will give ample opportunity for
the weighing @of sentiment At the
Wednesday evening meeting such men
as Jacob Apoll, manager of the Reid
Murdoch and Cornelius Burns, will pre-
side and endeavor to win favor for the
deep sewer. The petitions being cir
culated by this faction will be heard
from by them
At the close of an hours canvass by
telephone Times reporter was almost
convinced that the opposition to the
sewer proposal is about as detachable
as the nigger's flee. Had not the Times
announced last evening that a meeting
was to be held by the anti's no one but
the officers of the Anti-Deep Sewer
Association would have known much
about. The proposed big mass meet
ing dwindled down to a talk in the
lobby of the Pine street Presbyterian
Church last evening. 1t is thought to-
nights effort will be better attended
If an individual case can be held as
La criterion of changing public senti-
ment then the conversion OF l. c. STAN
ford, 534 One Hundred and Fiftieth
street may be worth reciting
In the inception of the anti-move-
ment Mr.. Stanford was one of the lead
ing spirits. But being a fair minded
man he set out to investigate the
why's" and "wherefores" He found
that to oppose the Improvement was
not only useless but unwise Here Is
what he said this morning:
Il have made personal investiga-
tion and am convinced that we need the
deep sewer system. 1 believe the only
reason it is opposed is because the cosr
had not been decided definitely Now
that we know / see no reason to fight.
II think that the men behind the on
position can be convinced as I have
been, and I know that a good MANY
are changing their views every day.

/. OF TEN ADULT LTERATED
Michigan Congressman Seeks
to Make Illegal Sale of Poor
Quality for Genuine.

Seventy-five per cent of the clothing
sold in the United States is "adulterat-
ed according to an investigation made
by Congressman Lindauist of Michigan.
who today introduced a pure fabric
and leather bill' in the House
The Lindquist bill would make illegal
the sale Of inferior clothing for the
genuine. provides that all cloths must
be labeled as to their actual quality. An
other provision requires manufacturers
to fumigate goods before putting them
on the market. The bill would prohibit
the interstate shipment or the sale of
misbranded or adultcrated clothing and
leather.
This bill, il enacted said Con-
gressman I.inquist, will give to the
consuming public pure fabrics in the
way pure food Is guaranteed TO us
now. BY such law 1 do not propose
to prohibit the manufacture of in
ferior merchandise, but to make ii
unlawful to sell inferior goods for
label stating the quality Of material
from which II Is made. l have found
that IS per cent of the clothing now
sold in this country is adulterated.
II find in my investigation that there
is little adulteration done in high
class merchandise excepting silks, SO
Il is apparent the practice of adulter-
ating falls heaviest on those who buy
the cheaper clothing and who can
least afford to stand the strain Of the
high cost Of living. The adulterated
goods are sold as genuine, and the
public is forced to pay genuine price
for them"
