He believes that in many rases these
books are taken out bv poisons in
whoso homes contagious dlseuso ev.
lists and that the Reims of that dlseuse
I are transmitted to healthy pot wins by
tine return or tho bookh .Hid tho re-
ItaMiIng of them.

MICHAEL PULAZA.
Was the Man Presented Instead of
Angelo Pelozi, by the Ital
ian Officers.
County Detective I.oshon, who re
turned from Italy rally jestcrday
morning, was at his oil'ce in tho court
house yesterday afternoon anil con
ferred with District Attorney Jones
n-latle to the fruitless mission which
took him to Naples.
The red tape which entangled hl.s
admission to the prison where the;
murjerer was riippose-d to have ben
confined, was leHpons'lile for much
delay, and the investigation was very
unsatlsfactoiy. When he was admit
ted to the ciiiildor, four prisoners wcro
llned-np In front of him. among whom
was Mk hurl Pulaza. the man who was
detained aa tho murderer.
The detective saw at a glance that
bis man was not there, and asked
permission to go tluough the jail and
see tho other ptlsoneis. This reejueu
was lefused, and when ho iiuestloned
1'ulai.a about his rcsHuico In the 1'nl-
I t"d .States, the latter sail he lhcd In
Cleveland. Prevloud: he bad in
formed the Italian nuthorltiis that h3
lesldeel in I tali.
Another pe cull ir fict which may add
suspicion ici the duplicity played was
that tho I 'jilted States consul was not
informed until four dat after l.ey-hhon'e-
uiilv.il, that the ptisoncr de
tained was not tho man wanted.

When the lesolutlon came up direct

When Mr. Gtior observed that the
resolution had been adopted he aiose
and elellveieel himself of 0112 of bis
characteristic speeches, in which he
said: "I introduced that amendment
because I don't believe It Is light to
have to Instruct tho ofllclals of the
city what to do. It's tho major's duty
to order these slot machines removed
and It's entliely wiong to tell him to
do so. What's the use of having ofll
clals If they can't do their duty?"

ent a margin of only $:::,000. and that
the payment o' the aw aid of tho view
ers will Increase the city's debt bcond
tho limit fixed by law. The commu
nication concluded with tho following
paragraph:
"I am not an nlaiml-it, hut It would
seem to me that wo aio wont to in
dulge excesses while onjoving security,
when no emergency ailsis tluough
war, pestilence or financial str'"-s. In
.laying this, I do not seek to invito
public obloquy. I give your honor
able bodies the cold bare facts In the
hope that they may spur jou to adopt
some mutism cs tending to telle ve what
apjears to mo to he an anomalous
condition in the. city's Hse.il affalis."
