Dr. John N; Hurty, state health commiaslonet, waa receiving many letters today from health officers, throughout the state, assuring him that the. recent bulletin of the state board of health, urging careful diagnosis and Immediate reporting in cases where Infantile paralysis is suspected, was being heeded. Dr. Hurty yesterday sent out a letter to several health officers of the state, mglng more careful diagnoses. Three cases had come to the attention of the board, where death reports showed that hurried, or Incorrect, diagnoses of “paralysis” cases had been made In the past. Dr. 8. O. Smelser, at Richmond. Ind., reported to Dr. Hurty today by telephone that he believed he bad found a case of infantile paralysis at Richmond. Indianapolis Boy Improving.^ | Dr. Herman G Morgan, secretary of _ the city board of health, said today that no new cases of infantile paralysis had been reported in Indianapolis, since the attention of the health authorities was Monday to the fact that Thomas > flve, H21 South Meridian street, Bring with the disease.

No Order* Against Chicago. Dr. Hurty today denied emphatically that his board had issued any quarantine orders against Chicago children coming Into Indiana, pending the stamping out of the Infantile paralysis epidemic in various parts of the country. Dispatches from Chicago said Dr. Hurty had Issued such an order and had sent a letter to Chicago, asking that no ' “' ren be sent to Elwood, Ind., Ing from Chicago, until the is stamped out. / ,*urty, after receiving a telegram inquiry concerning the situation from hn Dill Robinson, Chicago’s health

[By Charles Dennis] Not the least prized among the relics of the house of W. B. Burford is the company roll of the Indianapolis national guards of 1868, which V. T. Malott remembers to have enlivened the landscape by a radiant uniform of blue, in which the trousers were adorned by a leg stripe of white, and the hats by a red and white plume, Which wavered in the wind. Indianapolis had at about that time three other companies, the Grays, the Zouaves and the Independent Zouaves. The Zouave* had as their captain, Frank Shoup, who disappeared soon after Ft. Sumter was fired on at the beginning of the war for the Union, and joined the Confederates. He became chief of General Hood’s staff and was afterward commissioned a brigadier-general in the Confederate service. The roster of the Indianapolis national guards has been shown to a number of old citizens who after looking over the list of names, recognized only one name—that is the name of a living man. This is H. (Hervey) Bates, who was treasurer of this company of fifty-eight years ago. i It was a company of young men of whom a considerable number became officers in the Union army in the war of 1861-66. The captain, George F. McGinnis, who had served in an Ohio regiment in the Mexican war, became colonel of the Eleventh Indiana (zouave) regiment and a brigadier-general. W. M. Wheatley became colonel of the Twenty-sixth Indiana. Second Lieutenant George H. Chapman, became a brigadier-general. Private John C. New was quartermaster-general of Indiana under Governor Morton, and several others became staff officers, captains and lieutenants. Those who failed to achieve military rank, became after the war, ‘‘the men who made the town.” Among the latter were William Wallace, who was a law partner at that time of Benjamin Harrison, who was afterward President of the United States. Their office was in “Temperance hall,” a three-story brick building, which occupied the site of the present News building. Here will be found the names of Austin H. Brown, Andrew W. McOuat, George McOuat, M. L. Ohr, Napoleon B. Taylor, Lawrence M. Vance, George Vance, Samuel C. Vance, Horace A. Fletcher and G. A. Wells. In the list of high privates is the name of John Woolley, then president of the Capitol bank, one of the few banks of the state. Mr. Woolley was on General McClellan’s staff and was at one time provost-marshal of Maryland. After the close of the war, he was governor of the soldiers’ home at Milwaukee.

PRISONER REFUSES TO EAT. Stayer of Two Richmond Policemen Trying to Starve Himaeif to Death. [Special to The Indianepolla News] RICHMOND. Ind., July -11.—EH Carr, who killed patrolmen Little and Stevenson, is trying to starve himself to death and has eaten nothing since Saturday night, when he was arrested. Jail physicians' at first believed his refusal to eat was due to his nervous condition and to his suffering from the wound In his hip. Carr was very weak today, but physicians said he was not in a serious condition. Feeding by force will be resorted to, it was said, if he persists in refusing food much longer. The Wayne county grand Jury today began hearing testimony of witnesses regarding the killing of the patrolmen. and either tonight or tomorrow morning, it Is expected, an Indictment will be returned against Carr.

SEES BLOW AT AMERICA.

Senator Lewis Asks About RussoJapanese Treaty. WASHINGTON, July 11.—Senator Lewis, of Illinois, today introduced a resolution directing Secretary- Lansing to report to the senate whether the new Russo-Jap-anese alliance is not likely to close the "open door” in China and result in disaster to American business interests. It became known today that the United States government already has begun quiet inquiries abroad regarding the treaty. It is the understanding that it contains important secret provisions and it is about these that the United States is concerned. Senator Lewis declared he had excellent reasons to believe the Russo-Japanese alliance was intended to curb American trade in the orient and that it had been entered Into in retaliation for the clauses in the pending immigration bill, which seek to exclude Asiatics from the United States. “There is a clear tendency, which I saw when I represented the senate at the safety-at-sea Council, in London,” said Senator Lewis, “to divide the world into three major parts—England and France to control Europe in trade and politics; Japan and Russia to divide Asia; and America to control the western hemisphere. “This treaty seeks to exclude Americans from Asia, as our immigration bill now pending, excludes Asiatics from America. I have no doubt it is a retaliatory measure.”
