OFFICIALS IN CLASH
Warrant Is Asked for Boy Fishing
With Too Many Hooks.

The office of the county attorney
and that of the attorney general
clashed today when the former de-
clined to issue warrant for small
toy who is alleged to have been fish
iEg with too many hooks on his line.
Henry Ogee, deputy fish and game
warden, asked the county attorney for
a warrant for the boy Wednesday
afternoon. Rad Lee was the man on
the job and he declined to issue
complaint such trivial grounds
HeLry OGee left.
But today the attorney generals Of
flee instructed the county attorneys
office to issue the warrant. w. P.
Montgomery. candidate for the Repub-
1ican nomination for county attorney,
is in the attorney generals office.
Robert Carver, candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for county at
torney, is in the county attorneys Of
flee.
II hate to do it, said Carver today,
but when the boss speaks all there
is left for us to do is to jump. I sup
pose the complaint will be issued.
Boys have fat chance of enjoying
themselves these days.

TRENCHES RUINS
Strong German EarthwOrks To-
tally Destroyed by British.
DugOuts 30 Feet Deep Clicked
With Masses of Earth.
BY PHILIP GIBBS.


Press Camp, British Headquarters in
er of words to give a picture of the
German trenches over the battlefield
of Montauban, where we now hold
line through the wood and beyond.
Before Saturday it was a wide and
far-reaching network of trenches with
many communication ways, strong
traverses and redoubts, so that one
would SILVER at their strength if he
were to see them marked on a map.
No mass of infantry, however great,
would have dared assault such posi-
ton with bombs and rifles
1t was a great underground fortress
which any body OF men could have
held against any others for all time,
apart from the destructive power of
heavy artillery.
All Rubbish Now.
Now, however, it is the most fright
full CONFUSION of earth that the eyes
of man could see. The bombardment
has tossed all these earthworks into
vast rubbish heaps. 1t has made the
ground one vast series of shell craters,
SO deep and so broad that it is like a
field of extinct volcanoes.
The British must have hurled hun
dreds, if not thousands of shells from
their heaviest howitzers and long
range guns into this stretch of fields
until the bombardment had annihi-
lated the German position.
Many of the dugouts, going thirty
and strongly timbered and cemented
have been choked with masses of
earth. so that many bodies must be
buried.

BATTLES SCIENCE
Terrible Epidemic Continues to
Reap Harvest of Death.
New York to Issue Bonds to
Fight Child Malady.

New York, July 6.-New Y ork's in
fantile paralysis epidemic today APP
parently spread to several nearby
cities In the meanwhile it showed
greater virulence in the greater city
itself, breaking all records for devel-
opment Cases were reported SO fast
through the night that the health bu-
reau announced early today tabula-
lions had not yet been completed to
show exactly how many new victims
there were, but the bureau estimated
that the total since the start of the
scourge was now above 500 cases.
The most sinister fact in connection
with the epidemic is that the NOR
tally from the disease far exceeds
any previously reported in epidemics
here or in other cities. OF the sou
cases at least $50 have been fatal
n 25 per cent ratio. The record for
New York's most fatal previous Wis
itation of the child's disease-in 1907
was less than 20 per cent.
Bond Issue to Fight Epidemic
The health bureau announced it
would avail itself of that provision in
the city charter which permits is
suance of special bonds with which to
defray the expenses incurred in fight
ing the plague. What the experts now
fear is that the epidemic will not
spend itself for another month. In
fantiIe paralysis, the records show,
attains it's greatest virulence in Au-
gusts hot weather.
An emergency call for nurses, add1-
tional physicians and volunteer SANTA
ton workers was issued today. The
health bureau today forwarded to all
pastors of churches request for the
closing of Sunday schools and discon-
tinuance of all picnic plans.

JUNE A BAD MONTH
Twelve Dealers Serve Milk Be-

Unsanitary Methods and Lack
of Refrigeration Causes.

Careless and unsanitary methods
and lack of refrigeration, loom large
in the report of DIR. Leslie Rowles,
city milk inspector, for the month of
June. Inspection of milk distributed
shows that sold by twelve dealers con-
tanned bacteria exceeding the max
imum allowed by law. Milk distributed
by one dealer. Ed. Pottinger, contain
ed 100000 bacteria. He received a
score of only thirty, the lowest of any
in the city. Is -ass1l1 Il
DR. Rowles started a personal in
vestigation of the dealers following
the low showings today.
Sometimes the dealer is not at
fault for his low score and high rate
of bacteria" he said. Existing con-
ditions may make it impossible for
him to comply with the ordinance
Then again there are those who are
simply careless and we have to keep
after them all the time Some of
those who made the poor showings
last month will be given another
chance Although l have not yet noti-
fled anyone to quit business, L think

must quit"

The showing of dairymen for June
was below that of the preceding
month, the records of Dr. Rowles
show. The highest score in May was
S91s while the highest in June was
only Sc. The high June score was
made by the Scott Bros paSteurizaed
