For weeks those interested have at

The council raised the interest to 5A
per cent on the understanding that the
auditor would not advertise the sale
of the bonds until the State board Of

the legality of the Yawger contract.
If the State board OF accounts will

work can start within the next six

CONTEMPLATE OTHER
IMPROVEMENTS
Among the other lines which the board
has in mind to order improved and ex-
tended are: Illinois street, rebuilt, from
Thirty-Eighth street to Fall creek, and
extended from Thirty Eighth to Forty
Sixth street; College, partially rebuilt
and extended from Forty Sixth to Fifty
Second streets: West Tenth street, ex-
tended west for several blocks to a point

independent car line of manufacturing
concerns with plants at Speedway City.
In addition the board and company
officials have several times discussed the
need for a new power plant and several
substations in various parts of the city,
which would cost between S5OO,OOO and
$4,000.
Persons who oppose the. granting Of
the 2-cent transfer charge pointed out
a new objection in the feet that it might
operate against The establishment OF
cross town car lines, since they would
obviate the necessity for thousands Of
transfers. Friends Of the company, how
ever, answered this with the statement
that the 2-cent charge is only a tenn
porary measure and that the company
probably will be back on a pre-war fare
basis by the time it is possible to estab-
lish any new lines.

Meehan also told of investigation OF
overcharges by contractors, defrauding
the Government by sale of salvaged goods
as new material" of padding the pay
roll" and Of corruption Of minor en-
ployes of the shipping board and the
fleet corporation. He testified that d. *.
Kahnweiler & Co. Of New York had, dur.
ing the present year. purchased lifeboats
at $1d each from the United States sal
wage department and res0ld them at
S11O each to the shipping board.
Meehan further revealed that William
J. Love, purchasing agent of the North
Atlantic district for the shipping board,
had sold 2t4 steamer rugs taken from the
liner Leyiathan and valued at $40 each,
for SO each to company In which he
was interested. Love has since been in
dicted. 1t was Love, he added, who
purchased the repainted salvaged Navy
lifeboats from Kahnweiler, but there was
no proof Of collision between Love and
that firm.
The witness said his department was
investigating n charge that Kahnweiler
had bought a condemned life raft from
the navy salvage department and resold
it to the shipping board at $1,000.
INTRODUCES
AN AFFIDAVIT.
Meehan introduced an affidavit from
Edward Mccain OF New York, stating he
was offered a $4,000 job with the ship
ping board by Captain Yates, managing
agent of the boards division of opera

except draw his pay monthly"

the affidavit.
Chairman Walsh developed testimony
to show that there were men on the pay
roll Of the shipping board who per
formed no services. Meehan testified thai
the number of these cases was insig
nificant compared to the number Of ship
ping board employees"

employees who were dlschargedi" asked
Chairman Walsh.

the witness. adding ~ do not care to

PROTEST ON "snoBBERY."

Eng)and'c new squirt in democ-
racy and the tendency to break old
time class distinctions which are
among the many changes wrought
by the war, have caused protests
against the system Of designations
of athletic contestants. Gentlemen
versus Players" is the manner in
which cricket match is billed when
the game is between amateurs and
professionals. 1t is contended by the
objectors that the words SAVIOR too
much of the old era Of snobbery in
England, which many British opti-
mists had hoped was left dead on

PATCH UP OPTIC NERVES NOW
stored to Blinded Soldiers by
Army Surgeons.

In the field of medicine and sur
gerry there were wonderful advances
during the war. Bones from ami
mails have been used successfully to
replace human shin and arm bones
spliltered by high explosives. Skin
grating and facial reconstruction
have become commonplace. New
noses and ears have been created Of
thumbs and fingers.
The latest and most startling bit
Of surgery that has grown out of the
war was performed at Fort Nc
Henry hospital, Baltimore. Through
it four soldiers, blinded by explo-
siyes and gas, have recovered their
sight. The operation in each case
was to repair shattered optic nerves.
Skin, tissue, bone, muscle, veins and
arteries have been patched and
spliced successfully, but the delicate
fabric of nerves has mostly defied
the skill of surgery heretofore, and
the mark of success upon four opera
tions Of such novelty and dehcacy
promises large things for humanity.

ARSENIC IN coal PRODUCTS
Recent Serious Cases of Poisoning
Have Called Attention to Its
Presence in Quantities.

Arsenlcal poisoning by coal and
coal products was recently discussed
before the French Academy of
Science by Charles Richert in a pa
per.
There had been an outbreak Of
serious symptoms at a brlquette
works. The name given to the dis
order was the pitch disease. In many
cases there was cutaneous cancer Of a
grave form, which even proved fa-
tai; about 80 per cent of all the en-
ployees we're affected in this way.
A chemical analysis was made of
the pitch, and arsenic was clearly
found in it, and traces were also dis
covered in the dust at the works, in
the hair of the workingmen (and
that in considerable quantities. and
in the blood of most Of them. 1t was
evident, therefore, that they were
under the influence Of arsenic.
1t was ascertained that similar re-
suits have been met among tar dis
tillers, road asphalters, tarred-paper
makers and lamp-black makers. The
origin Of this arsenic is to be sought
IN the coal. 1t has been long known
that certain varieties of coal contain
notable quantities of arsenical
pyrites, but it is a new thing to find
that arsenic is SO widely to-be found
in coal.

SURPRISE FOR "DESERT RAT"
Veteran Prospector Astonished at
First Experience With Moving
Picture Methods.

A real desert rat, an old pros
pector and a rare individual in these
modern times, waited into Victor
vile, CAL, where a motion picture
company was at work. A ranch
house had been built, more than 100
sa8ebrush transplanted to make it
look as if it were in the vicinity of
the desert, and all the old tin cans
IN the town collected to give atmos-
phere to the cookhouse. The old
desert rat accosted the movie direc-
tor in front Of the dilapidated place.
"This your farm ?0 he asked.
The director said it was.
'Any grub about?"
The picture man pointed to the
rear Of the prop movie house and
the visitor followed When he
reached the corner of the house and
saw only two walls standing his
mouth sagged with amazement. The
players were equally surprised when
the old desert rat told them he had
never seen a movie company at work
or knew that the few houses he had
seen in motion pictures were of the
fake variety.
