CAN'T DIAGNOSE
SMALL P0X, CHARGES
Board of Health Members Say,
Physicians Held Small Pox to
be Chicken Pox.

Charges that Cape physicians could
not make diagnosis of chicken pox
from small pox were made in the
meeting of the Board of Health held
yesterday afternoon. 1t was charged
that in several instances persons suf-
fering from small pox were diagnosed
to have contracted chicken pox. This
charge was brought against DR.. Paul
Williams who was said to have treated
several patients for chicken pox, while
in reality they had been suffering from
small pox.
The health commissioners report on
contagious diseases submitted to the
Board of Health showed that nine
cases of small pox had been found in
the city, while only one was reported
to the Board of Health. This report
was made by DR.. Lawrie. DR.. R. F.
Wichterich, one of the members of the
board, stated that he had received in
formation that some cases of small
pox had been found in South Cape,
but that no report had been made of
these cases to the Board of Health.

PARK AUTO co. TO
CLOSE AUGUST IS.
Com Harris of Jackson to Pur-
chase Leading Garage of Cape
To Conduct Auto Agency.

The Park Auto Co., one of the
largest garages of the city, will be
closed about the middle of August and
converted into an automobile sale
agency, it was learned yesterday. A
deal is now pending between Tom
Harris, who operates garage in
Jackson, and the present owners of
the Park Auto Co., by which Harris is
to purchase the garage and open a
salesroom for the Dodge Auto Co.
The Park Auto Co. is owned by
Barrett Cotner, Joseph and Charles
H. Evans. They have conducted this
garage for several years and have
gradually established one of the
largest places of it's kind in the city.
1t is understood that Mr.. Cotner
will solely operate the Auto Parts Co.,
which he established several months
ago, on lower Broadway He has also
applied for the agency of New York
life insurance company, and is said to
have obtained the best references
from leading business men in the city.
Joseph Evans, an expert mechanic,
has been offered a lucrative position
with the Floesch Construction Co., and
it is believed that he will assume his
new position as soon as the garage
is closed and the deal pending with
Mr.. Harris has been completed.
The terms of the transaction were
not learned, but it is said that the
three owners OF the Park Auto Co..
have been offered a nominal sum for
their business, which has been one Of
the most profitable of it's kind in the
city.

SPECIAL SESSION OF
STATE LEGISLATURE
Gov. Gardner to Call Represen.
tatives of State to Consider
Lower Tax Rate,

jefferson City, Aug. 2.-Governor
Gardner stated today he will call a
special session of the Legislature next
spring for reduction of the State tax
levy. Many Legislatures have been
convened to increase taxes in Mis-
souri,, but none for reducing them.
The State levy has been reduced from
time to time at regular sessions.
The Assembly will be convened aft
er the State Board of Equalization
and the State Tax Commission have
complete figures showing the assess
ment of the present year for next
years taxes. The policy of the Tax
Commission is to have property valued
this year at its actual cash value, as
the law says shall be done. The COM
mission estimates this will treble
present values and produce s7,00O,000
more taxes next year than ever was
collected. This would be more rev.
enue, the Governor says, than the
State will need. The Governor takes
issue with the commission that the
burden of increased taxes will fall up
on the farmers. The present State
rate is Is cents on $100 assessed valu-
alton. The Governor says he believes
this can be reduced to 5 cents.

ERNEST WIELPUETz
IS ROBBED OF $50
Money Taken From Wagon While
Delivering Bread at Hotel Idanha
Yesterday Noon.

While delivering bread at the Hotel
Idanha yesterday noon, Ernest Wiel-
puetz was robbed of $50 which he kept
in a box on his delivery wagon. He
did not discover the theft until he re-
turned to his fathers bakery in
Haarig after finishing his route. He
notified the police that the money had
been taken and asked that a man be
arrested whom he suspected of taking
the money. Inasmuch as nothing could
be found to substantiate this suspicion,
the man was not taken into custody.
Wielpuetz said he left the wagon
only for few minutes and left boy
who accompanied him on his route, in
charge of the wagon. While he was
inside the hotel, the boy climbed from
the vehicle to watch the men at work
on Broadway. During the absence of
both the thief boarded the wagon and
took the money from the box.
The box had not been locked as
Wielpuetz usually did when making
his round. He had just placed some
money in the casket before he went
into the hotel and had neglected to
lock it. Evidently the thief was
familiar with the habits of the driver,
for the theft was committed in less
than two minutes, during which time
the wagon was left without any
charge.
The money represented the collec-
tion of the day. The majority had
been collected at St. Francis Hospital,
and the remainder from several resi-
dences near the Idanha. Wielpuetz
was so determined to find the thief
that he spent the whole day looking
for the man whom he suspected, in
order to get more evidence to warrant
his arrest.

patients as chicken pox.
Another physician of the Cape two
weeks ago treated case of small pox

That the present sexton would be
removed from his office was intimated
by Mayor Hirsch at the meeting in
reply to the complaint made by DIR.
Wichterich regarding the delay in dis
posing of the bodies of dead dogs.
The Mayor declared he was confident
that the council had made a mistake
in electing the man, and said he would
bring the matter before the City Coun-
ell next Monday evening.

Street Cars Will Experiment
With Doors at Rear Entrance

Information divulged at the hear
ing on some street railway bills at
Lincoln is to the effect that forty
new cars are being built for addi-
tional street railway service in
Omaha, to be put on as soon as COM
pleted. The new cars are all to be
constructed in the local car shops of
the company and to be of latest ap-
proved type, and some Of them, if
not all, are to be equipped with fold
ing doors at the rear entrance as
well as at the front exit, to try out
whether street cars with such doors
are desired by the patrons in Omaha.
For the completely closed car it is
argued that it is helpful in avoid
ing accident, but, on the other hand,
it adds to the work of the conduc-
tors and makes the boarding of the
cars a little SLOWER.
