THE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: TIFURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, ISRAEL FRANK SUSPENDED Board of Health Would Not Retain Him Under Charges. MAJORITY AT FIRST STRONGLY OPPOSED IT Final Action Unanimous After the Po- sition the Board Would Be in by Taking Any Other Course Was Recog zed, Meat Inspector Israel Frank was sus- pended by a unanimous vote of the Board of Health yesterday forenoon pending the investi- gatlon of the charges of embezzlement which were preferred in police court by the as- sistant county attorney Tuesday. A Jority of the members were at first vigorously opposed to this action, but when it came to a vote they were unwilling to go on record as voting for the retention of the inspector in service in the face of the serious charges which were pending against him. The mayor called the board together in gpecal session at 10 o'clock, and somewhat contrary to expectation all members were present. Mayor Bemis stated the object of the meeting and declared that the matter was too serlous to be considered from a plitical standpoint. The most convincing evidence hud been obtaiued that Frank and Poundmaster Spoerl had been systematically defrauding the city and the board could not refuse to suspend Frank until the charges were either controverted or sustained, Aside from the evidence of the taxidermist who had skinned the dogs threz men had watched the pound during the last half of July and the whole of August. No one of these men had known that there was any one else on the case and ‘hey had worked entirely inde- pendently of each other. Their reports had tailled exactly and showed that of the 38 dogs reported by Frank as drowned in August only 120 were actually drowned Gordon and Thomas declalmed against con- victing a man before he was tried. They insisted that there was no evidence before tho board on which they could base their action and thought it would be time enough for the board to act after Frank was con- victed. Ylifhe mayor inquired whether the fact that Frank was at that time out on bail on a charge of embezzlement from the city was not sufficient to make it the duty of the board to suspend him until the investigation was concluded. That had always been the custom when clty officials were accused of offenses, and this should be no- exception to the rul Duncan offered a motion providing for the suspension of the inspector. He said that under the existing circumstances Frank should himself have askad to be suspended until the matter cleared up. If he was guilty of the offense charged, he was also guilty of perjury, as he had made afidavit tothe Board of Health and to the council that his monthly reports of the number of dogs drowned were correct. On roll call all members voted for the motlon except Gordon, and after the vote was announced, he asked and was given per- mission to change his vote from no to aye. None of the other inspectors have been designated to perform the duties of the meat inspector during his suspension. Commis- sloner Saville says that he will simply notify the council that Frank has been’suspended and allow that body to take such action as it may think proper. ma- of Health Dis wintants nnd Inspectors, The regular meeting of the Board of Health yesterday afternoon was brief but important from the standpoint of those who have been accustomed to draw salaries on ts pay roll. On motion of Commissioner Saville, which was unanimoisly passed by the board, the whole force of inspectors was suspended in- definitely on account of the failure of the fund. This includes Dr. Towne, registrar of vital statistics, Milk Inspector 'Bruner, the four sanitary inspectors and Clerk Barker. Dr. Saville Is the only salaried official re- maining, although Mr. Barker will remain in the office as the representative of the garb- age contractor. Preliminary to his motion Dr. Saville stated that there was a deficit in the health fund on October 1 of $399. In view of the existing situation it was impossible to con- tinue to do business and the only recourse was to suspend the whole force. The other members inclined to the same view and there was no opposition to the plan Dr. Saville stated after the meeting that if the council had kept its agreement made at the beginning of the year they would have been able to pull through with a slight bal- ance in the treasury. But he was tired of being eriticised for work that was not done Board when the fault was with the council that refused to furnish the necessary funds to carry on the business of the department. He intended to submit a communication to the council detalling the situation and the action that had been taken by the board ana let it take such action as It saw fit, - Orchnrd Homes, Seventh Orchard Homes party leaves Omaha for Orchard Homes on Saturday, Oc- tober 5.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2.—The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn was launched into the waters of the Delaware at Cramp's ship yard today. Miss Ida May Schieren, daughter of the mayor of the city from which the mammoth vessel takes its name, broke a bottle of American champagne on the crule- er's bow, and said: "I christen thee, Brook- Iyn.” It was a fete day at Kensington, as all such occasions are, and when the gates of the big yard were thrown open to the public shortly before noot an fmmense crowd surged in to witness the baptism of the latest addi- tion to the nation's flect. On the christening stand was a distinguished party, the con- spicuous figures of which were Assistant Sec- retary of the Navy McAdoo and Mayor Schieren of Brooklyn. The others in the group were Postmaster General Wilson and Miss Wilson; Attorney General Harmon, with Mrs. and Miss Harmon; Rear Admiral Ramsay, Mrs. and Miss Ramsay; Captain and Mrs. Samson, Paymaster General Stewart and Mrs. Stewart, Commodore Melyille, Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn, with Mrs, and Miss Hichborn; Captain R. D. Evans, Commodore and Mrs, McNair; Commodore and Mrs. How- ell; Chlef Clerk Michou and_Mrs. Michou. This party left Washington at 7:50 this morn- ing in a special train on the Pennsylvania raflroad. Much disappointment was felt over the unavoidable absence of Secretary of the Navy Herbert. There was ='so a delegation of Brooklynites, in recognition of the honor accorded their city. The ship building com- pany and the municipal government were rep- resented by prominent parties, Grouped about the wharves and dotting the river for miles around were craft of every description, from local excursion boats to fereign steamers, SLIPPED INTO THE WATER. It was a half hour past noon when the last shores were knocked from the ways, and the colossal vessel began her brief journey. Swinging aloft the wine bottle, which was clothed with the stars and siripes, Miss Schieren crashed it against the steel bow and uttered the christening words. Then as the marine monster glided gracefully down the ways, the enthusiasm found vent. The crowds in the yard roared and screamed; the party on the christening stand waved hats and cheered, and the boats on the river let loose their ear-splitting whistles. Meanwhile the Brooklyn had taken her maiden dip in the middle of the stream, where her anchors were dropped, and she came to a halt. Another of the monster flag defenders had been suc- cessfully launched. After the ceremonies luncheon was served in the mould loft, and a number of felicitous speeches were made, among the speakers be- ing Mayor Schieren of Brooklyn; Assistant Secretary McAdoo, Mayor Warwick, and the Messrs. Cramp. The Brooklyn is regarded by naval experts as a marvel in the art of marine architectur She fs classed as a steel-armored cruiser, ha ing four eight-inch barbette turrets. Her cost exclusive of armament is $2,986,000. The principal dimensions of the Brooklyn are: Length on the load water line, 400.50 feet; beam, extreme, 64.68 feet; draught, mean normal, twenty-four feet; displacement, nor- mal, 9,271 tons; indicated horsepower, 16,000 speed in knots, per hour, twenty-four; total coal capacity, 1,763 tons; coal carried, nor- mal displacement, 900 tons. The same dimen- slons of the New York are, respectively, 380.65 feet, 64.10 feet, 23.35 feet, 8,200 tons, 9,000 tons, 1,290 tons, 750 tons. Speed, twenty- one knots The Brooklyn will have twin screws. There will be four engines, of the vertical triple expansion type, two on each shaft. in four separate compartments. There are seven boilers, placed in three compartments. Five of these are of the double ended type, and two of the single ended. The hull is of steel, sheathed with a double bottom and a close water tight sub- division, running to about twelve feet above the water line. BATTERY OF THE SHIP. The ship's battery will consist of eight elght-inch breech loading rifles of thirty-five calibre, twelve five-inch breech loading rifles of the rapid fire type, twelve six-pounder rapid-fire guns, four one-pounder rapid-fire guns, and four machine guns. The eight- inch guns will be mounted in four barbette turrets, placed one forward and one aft on the center line, and one on either side of the vessel amidships. The guns in the turret on the center line are to have a train of 310 de- grees. Those in the side turrets can fire from right ahead to right astern, or train through an arc of 180 degrees each. The center of the side turrets will be distant from the center line of the vessel about twenty- three feet. The armor forming the barbette, which will protect the carriages of the plat- form and turret machinery, will be eight inches in thickness for a portion equivalent to the train of guns of the respective turrets, The remaining portions may be reduced to four inches In thickness. Under the turrets will be placed three-inch armor supporting tubes which will protect the ammunition holsts. The armor of the turrets will be five and one-half inches in thickness. The guns will be so mounted that they. can be supplied with ammunition_and loaded at any position of the train. It will have no side armor. Pro- tection to the hull will be given by a steel deck worked protective from stem to stern and supported by heavy beams. The bottom edges of this deck amid- ships are to be five feet six inches below the twenty-four-foot water line, the top of the deck rising to the water line at the center of the vessel. On the slopes of the deck over the machinery and boliers the thickness of the armor will be six inches, on the hori- zontal portions three inches; forward and abaft the machinery and boilers to the stem and stern respectively the deck will be at the thinnest part at least two and one-hall inches in thickness. Below this deck are to be placed the propelling machinery, steering gear, magazine, shell room and ail that is ordinarily styled the vitals of a war ship. Protection of the hull from injury to the water line region will be afforded by means of an armor belt three inches in thickness, extending the length of the machinery and boiler space and in depth twenty-four feet above the water line to four feet and three inches below that line. CONCENTRATION OF FIRE. Protection to the smaller guns and thelr crews will be afforded by an extra plating at the opening and shields. With this battery it is possible to concentrate six eight-inch guns ahead, astern or abeam, as opposed to four ahead, astern or abéam in the case of the New York. Moreover the axis of the gun in the forward turret is more than eight feet higher than that of the cor- responding guns of the New York, enabling them to be fought in almost any weather, and giving them a great advantage in plung- ing fire in the event of fighting at close range. Ths Brooklyn will have five torpedo tubes, one in the bow and two on each side. Six torpedoes and a suitable allowance of gun cotton for mines and other naval purposes will be carried on the ship. As a protection agalnst hostile torpedoes, she will have heavy wire nettings carried out from the bow, stern and sides by strong booms. Dis- tilling apparatus and evaporators will be fit- ted for fresh water supply. The electrio lighting plant consists of two divisions, each having an engine and dynamo and each dy- namo having a rated output of 400 amperes at elghty volts. The ship will have a radius of action at full speed of 1,768 knots and a radius of action at ten knots of 6,088 knots. The complement of officers and men will be 561 persons. ey A TONIC, Horsford's Acid Phosphate. Dr. 8. L.

Not like the great and good George Wash- ington, who loved the truth and found him- self morally and physically unable to per- vert it, was Mr. Augustus Billings of 18 Wall street and Yonkers; but rather like Napoleon Bonaparte, whom recently discovered evi- dence has proved to be the most facile and monumental llar the world has ever seen. A very Napoleon of prevaricators, who deceives ‘is wife habitually, and more than once even succeeds in allaying the suspicions of his mother-in-law, although that keen scented old lady evidently has a mother-in-law's doubts about him all the time; who would get up in the night to lie, and from whose tongue flows on the spur of e moment a current of falsehood which sweeps away all the defenses of his more honest neighbors; Mr. Augustus Billings nevertheless carries with him, when he makes his final leisurely exit in the wake of his hurrying female rela- tives, the sympathy and admiration, if not the respect of his audience. This is all wrong, of course. One should feel for the wife of the modern Ananias, who, far from being a Saphhira, seems to be all a wife can be, and as truthful as she is innocent. She loves her husband, apparently; trusts him, at any rate, to an extent which ren- ders deception an easy task so far as she is concerned. But there fs little sympathy for her. It all goes to the intrepid Billings, Who emerges, by dint of calm and untroubled lying, from entanglements of his own creat- ing, the Intricacy of which would appall a man of meaner endowments. He strolls amid the rapid and all but furious action of those whom he has embroiled, easy, grace- ful and unvexed by care puffing his cigar, ful and unvexed by care; puffiing fis cigar, reading his newspaper and looking in his cool white raiment like an iceberg in tropic seas; and his conscience only annoys him once, when he relapses into a momentary tenderness toward his wife. But one doubts whether that litle touch is added for other purpose than to round out the stupendous structure of deceit which he has fashioned Another of his victims interrupts the tete-a- tete, and he falls to lying again with all the facility of habit. Mr. Gillette's performance is an admirable one. It is sustained upon the level which this clever artist assumos at the outset, and s finely restrained within the limits which he sets for himself. The role of Billings was evidently constructed by him as author with an eye fo his own pecullar abilities as actor. ('oflxhl]v no one elso could do it nearly so well. Mr. Ralph Delmore as the Cuban planter fairly divides honors with the star. The coarse, brutal bully is strikingly indicated by this excellent actor, who gives a character sketch as consistent and' well rounded as any one has seen in a long time. Mr. Bell is thoroughly enjoyable as the fiery French hus- band, and Mr. Reed is very amusing as old Faddish. Of the ladies, Miss Maud Haslam and Miss Loraine Dreux make a great deal out of not very great parts, while Miss Kate Meek shows a well executed picture of that kind of mother-in-law which all married men would fain aveid. The piece is beautifully put on, the first set showing the cabin of a coastwise steamer, and the others the interior of the house of the only genuine Johnson in Cuba, with a glimpse of a tropical landscape and hills in the far background. ““Too Much Johnson' is uproar- fously funny; the large audience last night found it so, and was loth to leave after the final curtain, which fell upon an ending quite unconventional. 90900009009 SOUTH OMAHA NEWS At a mass meeting of democrats at Blum's hall last night John F. Ritchhard was chosen chairman and J. J. Breen secretary. Nominations for justices of the peace were first called for, and Judge Levy and Judge Montgomery were the unanimous cholce of the caucus. There was a fight on constables, there being three candidates in the field, Thomas Crayw- ford, Ted McGee and Martin Eddy. The vote was by ballot, and when counted stood: Craw- ford, 209; McGee, 203, and Eddy, 80. After the vote was announced E. H. Doud offered a resolution to the effect that the democrats at the county convention place a full ticket in the field. The resolution car- ricd. Ben S. Adams in a short speech moved that the resolution be reconsidered and this was carried, Doud and Montgomery object- ing. A vote on assessor was next in the line of business. Only two candidates were placed in nomination, Sam C. Shrigley, the present incumbent, and J. H. Fleming. A count of the votes showed that Fleming received 211 and Shrigley 93. Doud again insisted that the delegates to the democratic county convention be instructed to Vote for Tom Hoctor for county treasurer. This motion finally carried and the caucus adjourned. Primaries will be held in each ward today to name delegates to the county convention.

While Mrs. Kenworthy and daughter, Mrs. Gates, were driving along South Twenty- fourth street yesterday afternoon, a big New- foundland dog belonging to Max Lenz jumped over a fence and sprang at the horse. This frightened the animal and he ran away. The buggy was upset and both occupants thrown out. Mrs. Kenworthy was badly bruised about the shoulders and arms. A complaint against Max Lenz for keeping a vicious dog was flled in police court and Officer Spoet- tler was sent out to Kilk the dog.

The same suitings from the same mills, whether imported from the old world or made here, in the famous mills under the stars and stripes.
