spectorship was brought up for dis
cussion. President Sell called Com
missioner Leo Schwartz to the chair

delphia applicant be chosen. Com
missioner John Peterson seconded
the motion. When Mr.. Schwartz
asked for a discussion, Commission
er PETE inquired If the funds allow

night that the doctors in this city
failed to report most of the cases
of infectious and contagious diseas-
es and because of the negligence by
the physicians, the Board of Health
is not in a position to take steps
to prevent an epidemic. Upon the
suggestion of Health officer Willsey,
1t was decided that the doctors be
notified that the health laws in re-
gard to reporting diseases to the
board would hereafter be strictly en-
forced and any violations would be
reported and punished.
Health officer Willsey made long
report of his work since his appoint
ment July 1. The board accepted
the report and it was decided that
his suggestions be acted upon by

The story of Mrs. Suffers confess
sion to Senator Palmer is almost
melo-dramatic in It's details. She
said she had complete charge of the
governors campaign affairs during
the campaign because he was too
busy with other matters. She said
she invested in railroad stock "be-
cause the household was in need of
money" Mrs. Sulzer declared that
Matthew T. Horgan, secretary of the
Frawley committee, and an intimate
friend of Sulzer during the CAM
paign, was fully aware of her trans
actions in Wall street and had ad-
vised her in financial matters. At
the time of Suffers nomination, she
explained, the Sulzer finances were
at an extremely low ebb. Suffers
obligations amounted to more than
/ $4,000, and some Of them were
pressing.
AS a climax to her story Mrs,
| Sulzer declared that she and her
husband had been under constant
espionage since his nomination, and
said that her bank books and many
important papers together with Sulz-
er's love letters written to her be-

Tammany members declared, when
the story of Mrs. Suffers specula-

was that he will fight impeachment,
applying to the supreme court for
an order restraining further pro-
ceedings. He said he would carry
the case to the United States court

END CRUSADE
OF S. P. C. A.
IN THIS CITY
Two inspectors Got Off Their
Territory But Made Arrest
Before Stopped.
PRINCE BAY MAN is
FINED $50

Disagreement between agents of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals ended promis-
ing crusade against offenders here
today. Representative Theodore
Blauvelt and Charles Sickles ar
rested Leo Palado, of Prince Bay, 8.
l., for driving horse which had a
large raw sore on its back. He had
no sooner been punished to the ex-
tent of being fined $50 and costs by
Justice of the Peace Pickersgill,
than the complaining agents received
word to vacate from this territory
because 1t belonged to Louis G.
Teed, so far as s. P. G. A. viola
tions were concerned.
1t appears that Agent Teed claims
this city and vicinity as his working
ground and for that reason objects to
have other S. P. G. A. representatives
cover it. Messrs. Sickles and Blau-
welt, the latter of whom formerly
lived here, visited the city this
morning and saw an opportunity to
do considerable work in the inter-
est of the society. Within a few
minutes after they reached Smith
and State streets and stood observ-
ing the principal corners, Palado
happened along on State street with
a suffering horse. The agents de-
clare 1T had a large open sore about
four inches in diameter on Its back.
His arrest followed.
In the meanwhile Agent Teed
complained to Col E. s. Edwards,
who is at the head of the society
in this state He DrOmDtly sent
word to Blauyelt and Sickles to ter
inmate their activity here Palado
paid the fine and costs and the cru
sade of his complainants came to an
abrupt close. ssx

John c. Webb of Demopolis. chairman
of the pension board announced that
every person who has been challenged
will be allowed to appear and present
proof to support his contention that he
was in the Confederate army and is not
receiving money illegally. Mr. Webb
said it was estimated that one-fourth of
the 1900 pensioners had no connection
with the southern army.
Estimating that one-fourth of the total
number or 1850 persons receive secondv
class pensions or SIS a quarter each, the
state has been paying s61,6o0 every three
months to persons not entitled to PEN
sions of $40. 400 a year. If the pension
rolls are purged and one-fourth of those
receiving money are shown to be i'm

quarter of a million dollars a year,
which can be paid to those who fought
for the cause of the Confederacy
The purgng of the pension rolls was
recommended by the board of examin-
ers more than a year ago. Several
weeks ago Mr.. Brooke was sent to Wash
ington to inspect records and obtain
names of persons who served in the fed

graphical union convention, called to
order here this morning for six days
session, when motion to take from
the president and give to the convention
the right to name the committee on ap-
peals, was lost by vote of 10 to ~.
The fight for the motion was led by
Representative Baumgartner of Omaha,
who contended that as the committee on
appeals was the final arbiter of matters
coming before the convention, and eff
fecting the rights of the president, II
should be named by the convention.
Other delegates took part in the de-
bate, including a representative of Pitts
burg, who contended that the Pittsburg
controversy was involved. He was de-
clared out of order.
The various committees were an
nounced today by President Lynch, and
will probably begin to report tomorrow.
The laws committee tonight heard argu-
ments for and against the Seattle plan,
which provides for the reorganization
for the governing body of the Interna-
tional Typographical union, vesting in
an executive committee of 20 the powers
now held by the officers of the associa-
tion. This is set for special order

being held, went through its daily pro-
gramme of meeting and adjourning.
There We're five members present and
the delegates howled as they sat in their
seats and witnessed the unusual pro-
ceedings. The great personal popularity
of President Lynch was demonstrated to-
day when he arose to deliver his annual

his address he reviewed the accomplish
ments of the organization of which he is
the head, but made no recommendations
