GRINNAN WUL RECOVER
The Chamber of Commerce Has
Taken Up the Matter of ReA
pealing. Occupation Taxes
Beaumont Texas June 30.At 1:11
o clock this afternoon the death -of Judge
vt . a. Ives occurred at th. family rasl-
denes on Avenue D after an Illness
wiuou nas rxtenaea back for a year or
more. Judge Ives had been la falling
health for considerably more than a year
and had tried In every way to recover
from th. effects of the disease which
ultimately caused his death. Hs spent
isi summer In San Antonio and al
tnouga he waa Improved he was far
from being entirely recovered. He re-
turned only about a week ago from Mar-
lln where hs had spent a month without
finding the relief he sought. It appeared
at the ime hs returned from this Inst
trip that he would not recover and slnoe
that time he had been gradually growing
weaker and weaker and his death had
been expected at any time during tha
last twenty-four hours.
Th. funeral will occur tomorrow after-
noon. Services will be held at the First
Baptist church at 4 o'clock and the In
terment will take place in Magnolia cem-
etery following thesa services. Th. fu
neral will be under the auspices of the
Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows
lodges.
Judge Ives waa born fifty-one years ago
in Matagorda county. He moved to
mont between twenty . and twenty-tlv.
years ago and has' mad. his residence
here continually sine that time.
He has been more concerned In th. mu
nicipal government of Beaumont than
-.ij vwifr.nmn now living navlng been
connected therewith continuously for al-
most twenty years. He was city secre-
tary under the K. L. Wilson administra
tion and served In that capacity for sev-
ivrms. iu 1392 juure ive. was elect-
ed mayor of this city snd served two
terms In that capacity. He was succeed-
ed by Judge Eiistham and In 1898 Judge
Ives was elected alderman for the Second
ward and served In that capacity for
four years. During his aide rm ante ca-
reer he waa a distinct leader in city af-
fairs. He was candid In his views and
-noted for his outspoken and positive
opinions upon the various questions
which confronted the city council at that
time. He was a member of the finance
committee snd worked constantlv n
energetically for the citv s welfare and
was a sturdy guard of the treasury
being always In favor of economy aad
striving to keep the city on a cash baala
He declined to stand for re-election e-
aldermar. from the Second ward In Utt
and was appointed city secretary by
Mayor Langham. He was reappointed to
this office following tha election last
April.
Judge Ives was a man of many sxcep-
tlonal elements of character. H. was
sn expert accountant and this training
' Inclined him to a methodical disposition
of the dally affairs and mad. his services
In the city council almost invaluable. H.
was thoroughly familiar with th.
progress of the city and was always con-
cerned in the advancement of the town
and used his wisdom snd his means
whenever oportunlty came to benefit th.
city. H. was very popular wljth th.
people and particularly with that giasl
number who knew him Intimately.
He leaves a wife and twe daughters
Lottie Ives and Mrs. Chris Gray be-
sides a brother who resides-in Houston
and other relatives.
Although the fact that his death waa
approaching was known to sll who knew
him the death of Judge lves will be s dis-
tinct shock to this community snd a po
sltlve loss- to the city. Hs rav. s large
portion of his life to the thankless af-
fairs of the municipal government and It
will be difficult to find another man
who will take the same Interest In and
will be as useful to the city as was
Judge Ives.

Car Rocking Charged.
Deputy Sheriff Dunman yssterday ar-
rested a young msn by ths name of Ed
Williams on a grand- Jury indictment
charging him with rocklna- Mia ear Th.
eoang man lives on Washington street.
"Should a case ot fever develop ta Hous
ton It would result Isr. ths loss of thou
sands of dollars to ths city's eommeroe.
Just (st a case develop here and New
Orleans would fasten down the Quaran
tine good and tight and It would make no
difference whether another case devel-
oped or not. the authorities over there
could not be convinced that there were
not several cases here and the quar-
sntins would be kept on until frost or
nnoU all danger was past.
Ths above were the-words of Dr. John
H. PurneU of the marine hospital serv-
Ice whose headquarters are In Ban An
tonio. Following these remarks ths doc-
tor stated that he had Investigated the
conditions In Houston and that he had
found the sanitary status ot ths city none
too good.
Dr. PurneU arrived In thlty yesterday
morning and during the day held
ferences with City Health Officer Brum
by and stated to a Post representative
that ha would spend a few days hers and
would be at the command of Dr. Brumby
In whatever manner he could serve him
to better the city's sanitary conditions.
Hs stated that hs did not intend to be
officious or to In any way make himself
obnoxious but that hs hoped to be of
service ta the city.
ABOUT HhTrEFORT.
On last Tuesday The Post contained a
dispatch from Washington relative to
ths report Dr. PurneU had sent to Sur
geon General Wyman concerning his tan'
presslons of Houston and Beaumont
wherein it was- stated that the sanitary
conditions of both cities were little less
than deplorable.
With reference to the Item concerning
Beaumont ths doctor stated that he de-
sired to make a correction in th. pub-
nsnea account. The dispatch contained
the following: "Dr PurneU says that he
found the cistern water totally ukflt for
ither drinking or domestic purposes as
most if not all of the cisterns in use are
generally without protection against ths
nuequico.
This was a slight misuse the doctor
says but In view of the fact that Beau-'
mont Is essentially s town of cisterns the
mistake means more thsn It would under
orainary circumstances. What he -lid
ssy in nu report he ssys was the follow-
in..
"The wster from the water works .vs.
tem Is totally unfit for either drinking or
Domestic ounxMee and nearlv everv
house has a cistern generally without
protection s gainst the mosquitoes."
So far as the cistern water la concerned.
states the doctor. It Is good and only
i ui protection ui screens.
HOUSTON "SITUATION'.
With reference to placing Houston on a
better sanitary basis tne doctor stated
that" the ordinance now tending .before
the council and which had passed th. sec-
ond reading would be effective if en-
forced. This lsw is about the same aa
has been passed by the different cities
of the State providing for failure to
screen cisterns aad barrels -and also for
failure to place premises In a sanitary
condition.
Hs states that while be does not care
to be placed la the light or dictating to
the authorities of Houston he would sug
gest that If the health department was
given a few Inspectors In order that ths
city could be thoroughly covered the
ouuay. so tar as money was concerned
wouia oe verv slight In comparison to
tne amount ot good that would result.
"Those conditions should not be al
lowed. There Is no need of allowing
water to stand on a publlo thoroughfare
like this until that green scum forms
on it."
This remark was msde By the doctor
while he was passing down one of ths
principal streets of the city from his hotel
to ths city heslth department In the city
nan. me gutter wnicn orougnt rorth
the remark was filled with stagnant
water upon which there had formed a
green scum. "It Is In Just suck places as
that that the mosquito breeds and those
conaiuons couia easily be remedied.
After reaching the market house the
doctor remarked that tt hsd occarred to
mm mat tne market Itself should be
screenea. "it sii costs money but the
results are worth every cent thus spent
he stated.
Dr. PurneU has spent many years mak-
ing investigations Into sanitary condi-
tions bis first work In this line having
wrcu in jaenipnu a numoer or years ago
lust after that city went mrough the yel-
low fever scourge snd hs was largely
Instrumental In settinp en root the work
which has brought that city up to Its
high standard of sanitation.
