If he refuses to obey the orders of tlu health board he will be arrested for maintaining a nuitance. As a result of the mtxup the city health board will probably take up the question with the state board and It is expected that an agreement can be made whereby the foodstuffs liable to decay In places closed for sheriff's aalea can be removed before they become a menace to public hualth. i muiam si. addoii, assistant to uen I eral Ford, and who won on the stand at the time the last adjournment was ! taken, was the first witness called this I morning Before Abbott was ques tioned n A municipal election In Mllwaukle today closes a hot campaign in which the Issue Is the matter of renewing the license of the Mllwaukle club.

Johns, which were in about the same circumstances when they Incorporated together four years ago. The development In Ht. Johns has been enormous while Mllwaukle has stood still. It is against these conditions the Good Government league is fighting In Miiwaukie. rne Citizens nominees by supporting the present administration, have asked the voters to Indorse these conditions. Mayor Shlndler. the Mll waukle club mayor, holds over another year He Is Mllwaukle'a dictator and has been In office ever alnce the village became a city. The attitude of the streetcar com pany toward Mllwaukle elections has al wnya been a source of much suspicion. Tho good government workers have not been bla to get any signatures from among the employes of the .O. W. P. who live In Mllwaukle. The car com pany, a few days before the election, discontinued the special 15-minute ser vice to Mllwaukle. This action has en. abled the gambling element to charge the Good Government leaaue with de- l stroylng Mllwaukle'a business. with the expectation of finding Heck man's body. Success rewarded the hunters' effort Hunday afternoon. They found tho body about two miles below the ford.
