Harry D. Schantz of Lowville, who is known throughout this section as "the Millionaire Kid," is again con­spicuous in Utica. Though seen about the cjty as late as Saturday night, he failed to appear Monday in county court when wanted as a witness against John W. Sage and other sa­loon keepers to be tried for keeping, disorderly houses. Judge Hazard is­sued a bench warrant for the arrest of Schantz for his failure to appear in court.

It is understood that at the time Schantz was dismissed from custody at Rome after his trial in connection with the worthless check given to John W. Sage, he promised the dis­trict attorney that he would appear against Sage, Thelan and other saloon keepers indicted as tlie result of his story. He was subsequently subpoe­naed and his recent appearance in Utica seemed to indicate that he was acting in good faith.

A sentence of three months in On­ondaga county penitentiary and a ?500 fine was imposed by Judge Haza.rd on Henry Kieffer, proprietor of the Eagle Hotel, who was found guilty last week of conducting a disorderly house. Be­fore sentence was passed, P. H. Fitz­gerald, the defendant's lawyer, pre­sented an argument against Sending Keiffer to prison, but Judge Hazard called attention to the fact that he had openly committed perjury when he testified on the stand that he thought the couples who registered at his hotel were man and wife. Kieffer gave his age as 23 years; born in Croghan;~n6 previous conviction.

The Council which - was named in hono,r of the late Very Rev. C. J. Mc-MOrrow, pastor of St. Peter 's church, 1894-1898, was instituted June 25, 1903, with 46 charter members under most auspicious conditions. The ceremon­ies in charge of District Deputy David D. Kieff, of Watertown, were held at the Odd Fellow's.hall in the presence of an assemblage of 500 visiting mem­bers, which included many men of prominence in the order' from various parts of the state. The first and'sec­ond degrees were 'conferred in the 'afternoon by a degree team from Car­thage Council assisted by State In­quisitor Judge John J. Cooney of Al­bany. The third degree was exempli­fied in the evening' by State Deputy Hon. D. B. Lucey, assisted by his crack degree team of ten members from Ogdensburg Council.

C O M M I T T E E A t tfoURT HOUSE.

'County Has No Legi l Right to Unite With Any Other County for the Es­tablishment o'f a- Tuberculosis Hos-

• pital.—Next Meeting in August.

A meeting of the committee appoint­ed by the board of supervisors in re­gard to the establishment of a tuber-, culosis hospital for Lewis county, was held' a t the court house, Tuesday af. ternoon.. All members of the commit-, tee were present with exception of Messrs. Lansing, Francis and Sears.

Letters were read from George J. Nelbach, secretary of the State Char­ities Aid Association, stating that it was impossible to procure the servi­ces of a competent visiting nurse, at a salary of $100 a .month, without pro­vision also, to pay her expenses. As the resolution passed by the board of supervisors was to the effect that the committee was authorized to hire a nurse at an expense not to exceed $100 per month the committee thought it unwise to engage a nurse at an ex­pense larger than that sum.

Supervisor Oopeley reported that the supervisors of the committee had found on investigation that Lewis county has no legal right- to unite with any other county for t h e estab­lishment, of a tuberculosis hospital.

W. B. VanAllen' of Carthage, presi­dent of the -Jefferson County Associa­tion fdr the-Prevention, of .Tuberculo­sis, was present by invitation, arid de­livered a very interesting and instruc­tive address. H e ' said that: the rec­ords show that there .are seventeen death a year on an average for over ten years, which result from, tubercu­losis in Lewis county. He stated that experience had shown that it was ill advised for a state to have a hospi-

| tal for tuberculosis, and ' tha t in" pracr

by David Scanlin, proprietor of the New Hermitage, Hotel, a t Lake Bon­aparte, for the annual outing of the the supervisors and present and for­mer officials of Lewis county, which will be held there on Friday of this week. It' is expected that the party will consist of about 75, who will ar­rive both by train and by automobile. A program of outdoor sports is being arranged for the day, including a base­ball game, rowing and other boat races and a fishing contest. Liberal prizes will be awarded and in the ev­ening there will be a banquet at 8:30 in the hotel. C. S. Mereness; jr., clerk of the board of supervisors, will act as toaStmaster and there will be sev­eral addresses by supervisors and other officers. An orchestra will fur­nish music.

tically every state the county unit system of each county having its own .hospital had been, adopted, with ^much-success. Each county need? its own hospital to take care of its own tuber­cular patients promptly, and that the hospital should be built, controlled and maintained by its own county to give the most satisfactory results. Mr. Van Allen dwelled on the necessity of homelike accessibility for the lo­cation of the hospital. The best san­itary arrangements are of much more importance tha'n the altitude and that the instruction and safeguard for the protection of well people are as . im­portant as the cure of the tubercular patients. He then spoke of the much larger sums of money spent for jails and poor houses, etc. He said that the question was not one of merely expense and increased taxation but of the protection of the families includ­ing the children, of all the people in the county from the ravages of the Great White Plague. Only the -poor should be cared for at the county ex­pense.

A motion was passed extending to Mr. Van Allen a vote of thanks for his coming here and giving his address.

The next meeting of the committee will be held the latter part of August.

The .Fourth of July. It is about time to renew the talk

about the celebration of the Fourth of July. Every year the admirer of the giant fire crackers and torpedoes, the toy cannon and fire works has the usual arguments in favor of a- noisy demonstration and the customary knocking for the "dead town" and "sleepy village," where- the people are opposed to the old-fashioned demon­stration. But eventually these enthus­ias t s , will be obliged,.-to. observe the-safe and sane fourth; which year by year is gaining in popularity,and will, in time force the former method .of de­serving the day into ai thing of the :

past. How much cosier it is to pass the day quietly, picnic in the- open air, read a good book, or take a de­layed excursion, and not entirely over­look what the day really comment orates. In the din and racket of the noisy celebrations a very large num­ber of lives were lost last year, while it is said that in three years the quiet observance of the day has saved 416 lives and prevented 9,991 serious in­juries.
