' numbing Inspector T. E. Hulme
r filed hi sr annual report with City- Aud
, i itor Devlin today and in, the "lntroduc1
' ' tion goes quite thoroughly Into the con-
, ditions of the school building, a to
, Sanitation, ventilation and plumbing. He
i also-1 recommends that the' present
-f J)lumbing laws be not changed, except in
- tni nor particulars, and showr the large.
Increase in work which the department
has accomplished. The report is as fol-
laws: - ;
S ,' "During the last year there has been
, more : than seven miles of; new sewer
j system Installed in the city of Portland,
which has greatly increased the work
. m this office. There wrs ,73 .entire
new, buildings completed with plumb
, lng systems and 88 alterations and ad
; Vlltions up 4. December 1, 1903, showing
h increase over past' years. ; While
there 1st a remarkable lack of study and
knowledge of sanitation shown In our
city, we must be fair and say that when
, ' the defects have been pointed out in the
".plumbing and' ventilating systems,- they
i liave been rectified lit' all cases.
"t ' Schools Improved. ,
-i " "There have been a great many : im-
provements made in the way of plumb
; jng and ventilation in our public schools
' tiurlngthe season.. This has Improved
the sanitary condition of many build
i Jngs,lut' Ihere rarc a largeumbrfl
-.- structures that stand In need' of better-
merits, : An example is round 'in. tne

structed of enameled Iron, and & good
- system f local ventilation, but the fix
: ' turM An thn nthor flnnrn have not re
' ceived any attention, which is Just as
' necessary as the other work and should
; ,be attended to "wlthouVdjlV vV
new sysieiu oi pmaiuing lnswuta in uiio
'part of the basement, but in the old
' 'section the cement vault system is still
'in use, This has been , condemned for
the past 10 years.- :'
"The Park school requires a more ade
' quate system of sanitation and the nx
'turea, which are in a very bad condi
tion, should be removed.
, :'' ' faulty System' - , :
- "The Harrises street school I i find
also In an unsanitary condition In re
gard to the fixtures Installed there.
. These should be replaced with modern
: fixtures and proper , ventilation ar
ranged. ,:'.?:'.'-','.
"The Chapman 'school system of
' plumbing and ventilation la in a fairly
i good condition, with the exception of
" .the urinal stalls, .which are badly in
' need of general overhauling. .
"At the Atchison school' the ' repairs
required are of a general, nature and
should be attended to without delay, t
i 'The conditions at the Wlltams
Avenue schoor"could be .Improved by an
overhauling of a ' faulty : system of
The. Bunnyside school ' is ' provided
with modern- plumbing fixtures In " the
new part of the building, but the plumb
lng and ventilation In the old section is
; very unsanitary and should be removed
- without delay. - i . .--,.
V; The Stephen's addition school has a
(new system of plumbing and ventlla-
1 , 1 ... HnJ t . i. . . 1
' addition, but the old section of the build--:
lng is in bad shape. Even the walls of
the toilets are permeated with offensive
odors. The fixtures should be removed

Brooklyn Seaool Tanli. . . . '
, j . . "The most lamentable condition is
" found at the Brooklyn school, where the
. open vault system Is still In use. The
entire district, too, is In a very unsanl
tary state, being without any sewerage
cyatera. ,
v "The Fulton Pafk school requires at
tention as to sanitation and the entire
district of South Portland and ' Fulton
Park stands In need of soma sort of
sewer system. ,
! "The plumbing and fixtures which
have" been installed In the public schools
vt the city during the past year Is giv
ing better satisfaction than any system
Which has heretofore been, adopted. . It
Is known as the Syphon Education closet
' J-angc. which. with a good system ol lo
cal ventilation. I would recommend, to
be used in all schools. , y, . , ,
' , Old Errors Con-sotsd.
"When it is considered that system
atic inspection of plumbing and drain
age was not undertaken prior to 1192 It
can be readily understood that there Is
. a great deal of defective, And dangerous
: work done In the past to bs found and
corrected. The work of this office Is
. two fold; it Undertakes to see that, all
i iie w work Is finished as required by the
., latest sanitary laws of our city, and
, also the correction of old work done, be
fore there were any sanitary laws. To
"this end our energies are' constantly
, extended and while there is yet much to
).0 Hnna Ki.Ma. (n -uA .(k, . . . .
t being made. , ...'
"The present law governing plumbing,
' drainage and ventilation has given gen
erally satisfactory i-esults. It protects
- the property- owner or builder against
Inferior materials being used on bis
, work and in many other ways improves
Me system of sanitation. I would rec
pmmend that with a few minor changes
Jt bo. left as it now stands."

Judge Bellinger of the federal court
mis Afternoon instructed tna jury 10 ac
quit, Frank vWinnishet, -the- Indian on
trial for the murder of ; Indian Police
man Pelatt.
Was Frank Winnishet's knife respon
sible for the death of Pelatt or did the
Indian policeman atebecause- -of - hts
Strong -bel lex In a superstition of his
race? Evidence hsa been Introduced in
the trial of, WinniBhet. the young Warm
Springs brave, charged with taking the
life of his cousin. Pelatt. which goes to
show that thJ defendant accidentally
struck the officer In the mouth with his
knife in an attempt to cut his bridle
rein, ani escape from the posiceman.
The wound in Itself was slight and bled
but little, but notwithstanding, Pelatt.
after mounting his horse and riding, to
a friend's house, lay down and died.
Mr Nina Patt. a squaw, in who
arms Pelatt breathed his last, declared
that the dying; man said several times
that the Indian doctors and not Winnl
shet were responsible tor his death;
"They have taken away my tomwusj'
he cried, "and unless it la returned I
shall, die." .
Tfyim peculiar statement the Inter
preter could not explain. -
' According - to those versed In Indian
lore, when a young siwssh reaches his
majority,,, he ' takes himself ' to the
tnotmtatnsOTd reinatnBorB-certaln
length of time, .. alone . and ' fasting.
Upon hi return to his fellows, the first
living creature he-sees Is thereafter his
good spirit,' charm, or "tomwus." Al
long as this is with him he Is free from
harm, although the charm may work for
either good or evil. What constituted
the "tomwus" of Pelatt Is not known,
but whatever , It was, he declared It was
not with him and unless the Indian doc-
-eterTOihfl,could not live., Nina
attVatU$f)illt ; whehPelattdeclared that
his 'tomwus'? must be brought to him,
the' tribe doctors arose and left the
room and . did not return. Soon after
the Indian beeathed his last.
The government rested Its case at
11:30 o'clock,' and Attorney F. P. Mays,
for the defense, moved for an acquittal.
United States District Attorney John
H. Hall, conducting the prosecution,
said it was very evident that the wit
nesses had been "fixed,", and. that their
stories differed from those told before
the grand Jury.
The Jurors selected to try, the case
are: Arnold S. Graham, H. Duncan, C.
Lystrop, - C A. - Dunnigan, , William
Sheehy. j. ft. Rowland, W. R. South, D.
B. Troutman. E. I Barnett, R. Jl.
Graves, W. ; A. Taylor, Joseph Hume.
Mr,- Hall stated In his opening state
ment that it was not the desire of the
government to convict Winnishet of
murder in the first degree; that the cast
would be more a question of the degree
of the. defendant's .gullt. -There- had
been a gathering of Indians on the
Warm : Springs reservation on the day
ot the tragedy, said the district attor
ney, and -Winnishet and several other
young braves came up on - horseback,
somewhat -under the influence of liquor.
They created a disturbance and Pelatt,
Abraham and another ""policeman" at
tempted to arrest them:-' j s U
"1 not believe .that Winnishet meant
to strike Pelatt with; Jtne . knife." said
Mr. Han, "he meant the blade for . an
other, and Pelatt got in , the' way. , He
struck down with' the intention of 'Cut
ting Abraham; the blade caught Pelatt
in the mouth and the policeman bled to
death soon after." - ' - -
Mr. Mays said that Pelatt and Winni
shet were cousins and friends and satd
the defense would attempt to establish
the fact that Winnishet was attempting
to cut his bridle rein that one of the
policemen, held when he accidentally
struck Pelatt In the mouth. "
"We will show," said Mr.. May's, "that
Pelatt died of another cause and not
from tha knife wound. .The .Indian
doc '' but Mr. Mays checked himself
and continued his statements along an
other line, .--'. "

Was.lt hamburger steak or pork sau
sage? --'--at ;' - - -----
This was the question ! that was tip
to-Judge Hogue In the police court this
rnorning when the case of Fred Nelson,
charged with using abusive language,
came to trial. J '
According to Kelson's witnesses ths
trouble arose InrPap' restaurant at
Front and Morrison streets because he
was' served with pork, sausage instead
of the hamburger steak. On the stand
Nelson was slow In answering and ag
gravatlngly evasive In his answers.
Judge Hogue asked hint how many
drinks he had takeni; "You'll have to
ask Louis Trummer," said Nelson impa
tiently. Judge HOgue ordered him to Jail un
til he could learn to be respectful to the
court fits case will, be; heard tomorrow.
The trouble occurred about 2 o'clock
Sunday morning and the evidence of the
prosecution showed that Nelson and his
employer, Joseph : Reese, proprietor of
the O. K. Barber shop at Sixth ana
Washington streets had ffused to pay
their restaurant bill and, when B. L. Kl-
klns, the waiter and the complaining wit
ness in the case, demanded his money,
there was ' an outbreak of hostilities.
During the light .a window was broken
and the combatants were more or less
bruised. :"
Reese, the proprietor, testified in Nel
son's behalf. He said that Instead of
hamburger the ' waiter brought pork.
This made both of them angry, -
- "Did you eat; ths pork sausage?" in
quired Assistant City Attorney, Fitzger

"Well, I took a couple of spoonsful,"

the certainty of the latter. He might
escape by judicial proceedings by being
taken to Salem, but he was sure of short
