SMALLPOX WAR. East Chlcago-and Whiting are at outs. East Chicago demanded $10 a day for the care of a smallpox patient belonging to its neighbor Just across the line; and Whiting refused to pay. So Whiting is keeping Its patients at home. Dr. A. G. Schlieker, mayor of East Chicago, said today that Whiting Is now criticising Us neighbor for failure properly to care' for its patients.. Two "hotel cars," similar to the cabooses that trail at the end of freight trains and fitted up with bunks and kitchens, are being utilized on a sidetrack of the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad In East Chicago for isolation hospitals.. In the men's "hospital" Is one patient and in tfce women's are three women and one baby. "We haven't had a smallpox case before in ten years, and this was the best way we had to take care of them," explained Dr. Schlieker. "I don't know why the Wrhlting people are criticising ovir car hospitals. They are warm nd a doctor and a nurse are in attendance. If we hadn't taken this means of caring for the patients, we'd have had to quarantine the whole building where they lived. The cars stand out In the open, half a mile from the nearest house."

Whiting, Ind., Feb. 3. Local health officers deny there is any quarrel over the smallpox situation, but declare that Dr. Townsley of East Chicago came to Whiting to see about the smallpox case. It is alleged that Dr. Townaiey wanted the local board of health doctor to let him take charge of the case and wanted him to sign a contract to the effect that he should be the sole judge of when the said case should be dismissed. In this way, he said, he could continue his services for the length of time he wished, even though It be for six months. In return for his services he wanted S10 per day, which he would get whether, he visited the patient or not. Dr.i A. J. Lauer of the local board of health' refused to sign such a contract or consider Dr. Townsley's application.
