NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS

Complaint is being made that own CTS or occupants of residence prop erty within the city are emptying water from bath tubs, lavatories, closets, wash basins, sinks and other appliances into the ditches and on the ground. The law in that respect is:
 Sec. 226. That all property own CTS and residents and occupants of buildings are hereby prohib- tied from using and discharging water therefrom into any of the ditches or upon the ground in the City of Pres colt"
 violation of that law is punish able by flne of not less than 5000 nor more than $25.00.
 No argument can be advanced in favor of violation of this law. I have given property owners and oc- cupants nearly five years within which to connect all appliances men tioned in the ordinance with the city sewer. The extension of time was granted on the ground that many property owners were not financially able to make the necessary improve ments. The future health of the people demands a strict and immedi- ate compliance with the law.
 Notice is therefore hereby given that beginning June 1st, 1917, each and every violation of the above ordi- nance, in the residence or business sections of the city, as we'll as all health ordinances, will be prosecuted and each day shall constitute sep arate offense. The mere fact that the property does not belong to the occupant will be no justification for violating the law.

Governor Whitman Of New York

Louisiana took similar action and re-
quested the cancellation Of Darcy's
match with JEFF Smith, which had
been set for April % in New Orleans.
Governor Pleasant aSked Darcy to
follow the noble example Of George
Carpenter before seeking athletic en-
gagements in Louisiana"
Promoters Of the Darcy Chip match

Cicotte upset an old tradition by fol-

News From Sportdom
'WAHOO" sam
May Be TRADED
TO CLEVELAND
Cleveland Wants Tiger Slug
ger now Warming Bench,
Ills Rumored.

The first big trade Of the year may
involve the sending of old "Wahoo''
Sam Crawford to Cleveland.
Crawford is nearing the end of his
career. Although he can hit almost as
well as he did in his prime, the big
Texan cannot cover ground in the out
field, and is painfully slow on the bases.
For this reason he has been sue
ceeded at Detroit by Heilman, and is
doing his bit as a pinch hitter.
Crawford IL drawing a wartime sal
airy of $500 a year, lot OF money
for benchwarmer, and it is under
stood that President Navin would lend
an attentive ear to the right kind Of a
proposition to relieve the Tigers of this
financial burden. Whether NaVin
would consent to send Crawford to a
club which has chance to beat De-
troit out in the pennant race is another
question. This seems to be the only
drawback on the Cleveland deal.
There have also been rumors coming
from Detroit that for the last year or
two Crawford and his teammates
have not been on the best of terms.
This would be an added reason for his
transfer.
Crawford has been one Of the most
terrific sluggers Of the big league.
Eleven seasons out Of eighteen he has
batted above the 300. mark. He is al
ways a dangerous man at bat, and
would make a valuable addition to any
team that needs more hitting.

reactionary element. In this way is
greatly lesened the peoples power in
the Prussian lower house and in the
German reichstag, which are supposed
to be popular in their origin. The dis
tricts from which the peoples repre-
sentatives are chosen have not been
changed for many years. Consequently
the Industrial centers. which in recent
decades have grown rapidly in popula-
ton, do not have representation at all
proportionate to their voting strength.
Members of the reichstag, the lower
house of the lawmaking body for the
empire, are chosen on the basis of uni
versal manhood suffrage, without the
class system. Before the outbreak OF
the war the Socialist representatives
constituted the largest party group in
the reichstag, numbering liz out of a.
total membership of 397. At the same
time, under the class system of voting
in Prussia. the Socialists had but ten
members out of 443 in the lower house
of the Prussian lawmaking body
But for the misuse of power by the
military element in Prussian politics,
this antiquated election system would
have been abolished long ago.

The Prussan Election system.

Editorial in The Chicago News:
Prussia's system of holding elections,
which the German emperor by virtue
of his autocratic power has promised
to liberalize-after the close of the war
lis one of zthe worst to be found any
where in the civilized world. It is the
class system, under which the rich
have a power greatly disproportionate
to their numbers, this power being
based on wealth.
The electors of Prussia are divided
into three classes according to the re-
spective amount of direct taxes paid by
each person, arranged in such man
ner that each group pays one-third OF
the direct taxes levied on the whole
body of electors. Each group by itself
chooses men to represent 1t in what
may be termed an electoral college for
selecting representatives in the popu-
lar branch of the lawmaking body. In
some communities a single wealthy in
dividual constitutes class by himself
and the vote of such an individual Is
equal to one-third of the entire voting
power of his community. n
The king of Prussia and the upper
house OF the Prussian legislative body,
which, like the occupant of the Prus-
sian throne, is not responsible to the
people, dominate the government In
many respects, regardless of the wish
es of the lower house.
Not only the kingdom OF Prussia but
the German empire may be said to be
gerrymandered in the interest of the
