He Says.

In First Public Utterance Since Ills
, Election, Emll Seldel Declares Peo
ple MuHt Cleantio City of Swamps
and Marnlics of Vice Asserts Tliat
Women and Children Are Ruined
Under ProHent System- City Must
Be neautiful.
Milwaukee, Wift., April 8. "We
must remove the swamp and cess
pools and marshes, as our forefathers
have done. We must take this city
they have founded and built and
beautified and must cleanse It." Mayor
elect Emll Seldel, social democratic
leader of Milwaukee, said last night
In his first public utterance since
election.
Muyor-eicct Seidel was theprincl
pal speaker at the dedication Solo
mon Juneau hall In the Auditorium
building. He did not outline the pro
gram of his coming administration,
further than to make the reference
to cleansing the city. A statement
endorsed by all the social democrats
elect will be Issued next week.
In his talk Mr. Seldel paid a tri
bute to Solomon Juneau, the founder
of Milwaukee, and other early set
tlers, telling of the vurlous stages of
the city's upbuilding from the time
when the site was covered with for
ests, hills, swamps and marshes, un
til today, "we see the cltly as It pre
sents Itself. Juneau was the settler;
we are his descendants," he said.
Mr. Seidel spoke In part ss follows:
The modern city, while it has
grown to large proportions and In
creased its population, until hundreds
of thousands are huddled together In
mail areas, has developed swamps of
a different nature than those our fore
fathers drained. Some of these have
become cess pools, the stench of
which rises to the heavens. Men and
women, as well as Innocent children,
are wrecked and ruined In these
swamps.
"We, the children of the settlers
the sons and daughters true to the
spirit of our fathers, who left their
homes to look for new civilization
we must follow In their spirit.
"Our task lies clearly before us. We
must remove the swamps and cess
pools and marshes as our forefathers
have done. We must rake this city
that they have built and beautified,
and we must cleanse it. We must be
gin to add to Its architectural ideal
beauty. Our task Is to take this, our
city, and to make of it a home a real
home for Its hundreds of thousands
of men, women and children a place
where there Is little room for tears
and heartaches; a place where virtue
la protected; a place where our boys
can become men, and our daughters,
women, and ft place where the strong
stand for the weak-, holding their
hands over the needs of the weak,
shielding them from all harm. Our
task Ih the task or realizing the
dreams of nil the Krest men of the
past."

IS
FOR DOG POISONER
NORTH SIDE RESIDENTS
INDIGNANT AT OUTRAGES
Owners of Valuable Dogs Raise $250
for Apprehension of Culprit Who
Lays Poison for CaninesDetective
to be Employed Crime Is Peni
tentiary Offense.
Incensed at the wholesale poison
ing of dogs by some unprincipled hu
man being, dogowners of North Pen
dleton, held a meeting last evening
and subscribed a fund of $250 which
will be offered as a reward for evi
dence which will result In the arrest
and conviction of the person guilty of
the outrage. It was also decided that
a detective be brought from Portland
to work on the case.
As a result of the activity of the
North Pendleton dog poisoner there
are only five or six dogs remaining on
that side of the river and all but one
or two of those have been poisoned
at one time or another and have been
saved by the prompt action of veteri
narians. As nearly every dog poison
ed has been stricken in his home
yard the belief Is growing that the
poison has been thrown to them
while they were at home.
It Is said that the guilty person is
one of two individuals and the owners
are making every effort to determine
which of these two is guilty and they
will then endeavor to send him to the
penitentiary.
As the present law makes dogs per
sonal property, their destruction is a
penitentiary offense. Some of those
killed have been valuable bird dogs
and as about 25 have been poisoned
within the past few months their com.
bined value will probably be suffici
ent to send the guilty person to the
penitentiary for a number of years.
Among those who have lost dogs
within the past few days was A. W.
Robinson, who lost a valuable Irish
setter. Deputy County Clerk R. T.
Brown and Dr. S. W. McCIure chief of
the bureal of animal Industry in the
northwest, each saved their dogs by
the narrowest kind of a margin. The
McCIure dog is a beautiful pointer,
valued at $100 and not for sale at any
price.
