WILEY DEFEATS ORDER

MANY UN-VACCINATED CHILDREN

*vt STAY IN SCHOOL

ONE MORE CASE WAS FOUND

Fugitive From the Pest House Is Retaken and Will Be Prosecuted For His Act.

The smallpox situation cannot be said to-have taken any different aspect than that which it assumed last week. Many children who have been absent from school returned this morning but most of them had: been out on account of the cold weather or were waiting until to$ay for their arms to become sore. There Were not many mere children, in school today who refused to be vaccinated, than there were last week.

This morning Superintendent Wiley repeated his order to the schools tha.t every one unvaceinatcd be excluded, but the order met with the same defiance that characterized every effort of last week. A few students remained out or went home when requested to. but as a rule the. order was not obeyed.

The sanitary ofi'setts executed another good

piece

of detective work this morn­

ing. Theodore Brattin, one of the pest house ir.na.fces escaped from quarantine yesterday and tlw authorities were immediately notified to be on the lookout for him. The oflicers remained up the greater part of the night, but he was not found until this morning. He was im.media.tcly arrested and taken back to the hospital where he will be kept until his term of quarantine expires. The board threatens to prosecute him heavily when he is released.

As far as can be learned bv the sanitary officers Brattin did not take time to go to bed last night. He spent, most of the tune in the west end, visiting various saloons, and may have exposed many persons. He was apprehended in a west- side boarding house where he had «one to change clothes before he visited his sweetheart. Harry Sarvin, colored, age 27, was found to have the disease at No. 403'/2 South First street and •was quarantined last night.

Mrs. Cris Keinking, age 35. of 323 North Ninth street, who was vaccinated 20 years ago. was quarantined with a light case of smallpox this afternoon. Eight persons are in the family, but she is the only one affected.

Theodore Price of '21)01 South Twentieth street was quarantined by Dr. M. B. VanCleave today. He is fifteen years •old and has a mild case of smallpox. Dr.

VanCleave has ordered the dance at Slim Brays hall, Fort Hevden, stopped and those who expected to make merry tonight will be compelled to wait until quarantine is lifted.

GERSTMEYERfS OPINION

Says Case Will Be Carried To State Board of Health If It Is Necessary.

Dr. C. F. Gerstmeyer, president of the health board, said that if the school authorities refuse to take it upon themselves to follow instructions as given by the Terre Haute board of health, the case will be carried to the state board of health. "We have always had more or less difficulty in enforceing vaccination orders applying to the city schools.'' said Dr. Derstmever, "and it is tiifle for us to find out exactly what our position and power are. We believe we have a right to compel vaccination among the school children. Tf everyone was vaccinated we would not have smallpox and when children are vaccinated while they are in the schools, it gives protection for thousands. There has been some trouble in enforcing vaccination before, but about the time it seemed thot we were to have the question finally decided and the power of the health board established beyond a doubt, the contagion subsided sud we did not feel like pushing the ca-e further. This resulted in unvaccin-ited children being readmitted the schools. If people were dying from the contagion in Terre Haute like they are in Indianapolis, there would be no trouble in enforcing the vaccination order, but so fsir no deaths have been reported. The disease here, however, may become fatal, and if we have four or five deaths, it will not be necessary to consult attorneys as to what our ".power is. We believe we have authority 'j* to force boys and girls in the schools

to be vaccinated, but what we desire now is to push the case until there is a final decision from the highest authorities, so th it. there can be absolutely no doubt as

4to

how far we may go."

J' Tn his verbal opinion, City Attorney i* njFoley says vaccination may be enforced ^'and that it is the dutv of the school

,V flRuthorities to obey the instructions as w\ %iven by the city health board.

Boarding House Quarantined. The board of health has quarantined *thc boarding house at Fifth and Mulb?\t

S l.iry

street for a ea/e of smallpox*. The "victim being Etta Watson a roomer, J,age 30, the wife of James Watson. The ^•case was supicioned yesterday and is f' 'jsroi! as thcr inmates of the house learned of it they tried to escape. The sani-

Kj&^tarv

officers brought back several families and it is thought all who have been '»pjsed arc now under detention. The H$S$\vo!fian probably will be taken to the pest house as the rooming house is filled with people. v.

WIVES GROWJtfEARY

THREE APPEAL TO THE COURTS FOR RELIEF

GRAVE CHARGES ARE MADE

Sarah Montgomery, America Ralston' and Mrs. C. F. Splady Tire of Double Blessedness.

Sarah E. Montgomery has begun suit for a divorce from James Montgomery alleging cruelty and failure to provide. She also asks for the custody of their child, Oscar, aged 17 years.

Mrs. America Ralston asks for a diworce from Absolem Ralston alleging cruel and inhuman treatment. In addition to the decree, she asks for the custod}' of their three children, Horace, Charles and May. Last Monday Mrs. Ralston caused her husband's arrest on a chaige of assault and battery, but the accused was released without trial.

Millie Spladv, has begun divorce proceedings against her husband, Contractor C. F. Splady, and the allegations are of a highly sensational nature. The document avers that the couple was married in March 1897, and that they lived together until the present month, when they separated and have not lived together since. fthe saj's that defendant was cruel and inhuman and that he frequently struck her with his clinched fist', and that he called her vile names. That lie drinks to excess and that defendant has inoculated plaintiff with disease. She says that defendant has about £".00 in cash, and real estate amounting to perhaps $300 which was purchased with her money and caused his name to be inserted in the de^d without her knowledge or consent. She a-ks that the property be set off to her and that she be given alimony. She also asked for a temporary restraining order, ti prevent defendant from disposing of his property until the cause can be heard and determined, and the order was granted by Judge Stimson. The restraining order was delivered to the sheriff, but it is said that Mr. Splady heard of the move of his wife and the order of the court and succeeded in disposing of his money or getting it under cover, before the slow-moving sheriff could get service on him. 'Hie resit fining order wil hold the real estate intact until the case is disposed of.

DISPLEASED WITH STBEG'S WIDE OPEN POLICY

v'V: f-mi. ATTACK THE SLOT MACHINES

Other Forms of Gambling Will Be Object of Concerted Movement .. By City Pastors.

Mayor Henry C. Steeg will be made the object of especial interest to members of the Terre Haute Ministerial association at the weekly meeting next Monday morning. The ministers met this morning and. decided to dedicate the next meeting to a discussion of the local gambling question, specially with regard to slot machines. v'

A committee, of which the Kev Chas. W. Tinsley, pastor of Centenary church is chairman, is to choose some one to lead the meeting and it is easy to predict that liis Honor will come in for all kinds of remarks by the ministers. Mr. Tinsley said this afternoon that the meeting would be to stimulate the authorities to do something to stop gambling. "It is the business of the mayor to do it,'' said Mr. Tinsley, "and he is not attending to his business when he does not do it. Is it not as important for him to pay attention to the slot machines, which he has ordered out and which are running full swing, as to watch the financial affairs of the city? Boys from 14 to 16 years are playing the slot machines, notwithstanding the fact that they have been ordered put and the mayor is not doing his duty when he does not enforce his rules."

This morning's meeting was devoted to hearing a talk on the anti-saloon question by the Rev. Dr. Rippetoe of Otter Creek township. Mr. Rippetoe has ocnductcd a vigorous campaign against saloons in the north part of the county. He told the Terre Haute ministers of his work.

Purpose of the Experiment is Secret, ang. Subjects Yet Reserve Thelr a Decision in the Matter.' ^x

LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 23—If Earl Whitney and Claude O'Brien,, the- youthful convicted murderers of A. B. Chinn and now under sentence of death, will give their consent, they will in a few days be subjected to an Experiment of inoculation in the interest of science. Yesterday Dr. J. R. Blue of ^Louisville, came to Lexington and in company "with Dr. W. O. Bullock, Jr., of this city, visited the culprits at the jail with a vie\v of gaining their consent to the operation. Before such an experiment can be made it is necessary that the consent of the county judge and jailer be obtained This has already been done and the only remaining obstacle is the consent of the condemned men. The exact nature of the expriment cannot be learned and when Dr. Bullock was seen last night in regard to the matter, he said: "1 have no individual interest in the matter other than a professional one, as Dr. Blue is to conduct the experiment and I am not at liberty to make known what the inocculation is for." '"Is there any danger of the experiment resulting fatally?" he was asked. "None whatever," he replied. "Similar experiments have been tried ver/ successfully and if we thought there was any danger of cheating the gallowo, such a proposition would not be made.*'

Both Whitney and O'Brien have the matter under consideration, but so far they have declined to ma-ke any statement in regard to it.

ilBl

DERBY, Conn., Feb. 23—A torrent of water, its crest thirty feet high, its width sixty feet, swept through the center of Shelton at 2 o'clock Sunday morning and did damage .aggregating $50,000. The rush of water was loosed by a colony of muskrats undermining the dam of a large reservoir two miles back of the town.
