HEALTH DEPARTMENT
 CRITICISM UNJUST
Authorities Unable to Close Up BoIOg- na Shop Because of Weakness
 of the Laws.

Criticism of the health departmen gard to conditions at bologna manu. | featuring tablishment in Mary Wisk's block at the corner of Wash. l ington and Broad streets is considered unjust by those familiar with the ef. forts of this department The criti- Cisn in question aimed a shaft at the health department as the result of q fire in the bologna factory yesterday. It was stated that conditions were de- plorable and that Assistant Chief Noble of the fire department intend ed to make a report to the health au- thOritics.
 pr. T. F. Rocks, SupcrintendCnt Of health. stated today that representa- tives of his department had made seV- entcen inspections of the bologna fac tory in the few weeks that it has been in operation He was opposed to tho opening of the factory when it was first located at this place because there are tenements over it. But there was no law, either in the ordinances or statutes, that forbade the establish ment of a bologna factory and he was forced to allow it to operate despite his personal wishes Seventeen times have health department inspectors visited the place to learn whether con dtions were insanitary but on each they found the benches. pots and pans. machinery and other utensils above reproach This being the case, no prosecutions could be brought.
 Assistant Chief Noble called Dr. Reeks on the telephone this morning and expressed regret that the impress sion had been given that he had criti- cized the health department and he said that was farthest from his inten- tion as he realizes the vast amount of work being undertaken by that branch of the government.
 While speaking of this case, Dr. Reeks referred to the condition of the yard in the rear of the block. He said there are seventeen tenants there and they do not show any disposition to keep the place clean. Mrs. Wisk, he said, is trying to cooperate with the health department and has even gone so far as to buy horse and wagon with which to remove ashes, garbage. etc. In spite of her efforts the yard is usually in an untidy condition. Criti- cism of the health department because of this condition is entirely out of place. The department has jurisdic ton over insanitation but it is power less in cases where yards or buildings are merely untidy.
 The establishment of the bologna shop shows up the weakness of the law. It should not be permitted be- cause of the tenements overhead, yet there is no way to stop it.

U. S. RAILS FOR CHINA.
Chinese Minister in Pittsburg Plan ming For Constructing Railroad.


 ; Pittsburg, Nov. 26.-C. T. Hsia, an engineer of the Chinese ministry of communications, arrived in Pitts burgh last night, and spent today in consultation with manufacturers of steel rails and other railroad supplies and equipment The Chinese govern p1ent, he said, contemplates the con- struction of four thousand miles of railroad.
 Heretofore railroad construction in China has been under the direction of European engineers, with the result that European equip 7nent has been favored. The war makes such purchases now so diff cult that the Chinese government has turned to the United States.

does not move them occasionally. On
this mans face was a newly grown
beard about an inch long. Every thirty
seconds up went his hand to scratch.
He was not used to beard, but had
grown it for an object. He thickened
his voice when he spoke to me, and it
was easy to detect the unnatural in
donation. Why did he do it? Travellers
searching for health are seldom to be
met with In the mountain except In
early summer, and this was late in the
season. He might explain. however.
Mr.. Braceby, as he had given his name,
probably had more reasons for seclu-

curiosity to observe him further.

stranger coming up the path from the
hotel. From his gait l judged him to
be an American. From the way he
furtively eyed the chalet and its sur.
roundings reasoned that he had other
business than looking for lodgings.
As he came to halt and looked me
over he gave himself away as de-

he wanted, and chagrin showed clearly
on his face. He was from a western
state and on the trail of a defaulting

l was the only one. and he told me
the whole story Of Braceby's theft and
fight He talked for two hours and
then went away, saying that be should

hour after his going it was discovered
that Braceby was missing. His bed.

out in search. and it was not long be-
fore evidence was found.
Being ill and without food and thinly
clad. he could not keep his life over
two or three days. In the gloom Of
that first night he had travelled nearly
two miles. making up the mountains
by a path. Then he had wandered
from the path and fallen into a strea 10
from thirty foot bank. The rushing
waters had carried him down a mile or
more, and they found his body wedged
between two great rocks.
When the coroner overhauled the
effects found on the body there came
to light 5000 in English money and
drafts for nearly 100000 more. His
name was not Braceby. Of course. but

clemency is extended. The United

trial were Overruled.
