BREACH BETWEEN THE DAIRYMEN AND CITY HEALTH OFFICER HAS WIDENED AND FROM PRESENT INDICATIONS THERE WILL BE NO ORDINANCE PASSED REQUIRING SUCH INSPECTION.

DAIRYMEN SHOULD KEEP THEIR PLACES CLEAN, SMS DAVIS He Took a Decided Stand Against the Present System of Inspection, at Public Meeting Last Night. CLAIMED IT DOES NOT MEET GENERAL NEEDS. Believes, However, That If the Rules of State Board of Health Are Obeyed, This Is All That Is Needed. ADVOCATES TUBERCULINE. SUCH TESTS WILL DO MUCH TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC, AS DISEASED COWS CAN THEN BE TAKEN FROM HERDS. PREVENTION IS NEEDED. It Would Be Better, Davis Think?, to Try to Prevent Tuberculosis Than Increase State Hospital Appropriations Dr. Grant Spoke. There was a larse a (tendance at the jiublic meeting held at the Commercial club rooms last evening by the AntiTuberculosis society. The effort to bring the dairymen and the health authorities closer together on the Question of milk inspection was the object of the meeting but this effort did not prove successful. In fact the breach letveen the supporter! of the j.rouosed milk inspection ordinance mid the dairymen appears to have widened as the result of this meeting. Dr. Charles Bond, city health officer, read the Ft. Wayne milk inspection ordinance, which is a most stringent instrument, and urged that a similar ordinance be adopted by the Kichntond city council. Dr. Charles Marvel attacked this ordinance, stating that it was unnecessary for the city to enact one similar to it, pointing out that the milk inspection regulations of the state board of health were sufficient to guarantee pure milk If the local authorities would comply with these regulations. It appears thru, the stand taken by Dr. Marvel in this respect, is supported by nearly fill of the local physicians, ho at the! present time about the only champion I the proposed milk insjioctlon ordin-1 mice has is Dr. Charles llond. j Several dairymen, among them j Charles Commons and Mr. Daily.! spoke against the enactment of a local , milk inspection ordinance. The arguments advanced by these milk dealers were practically the same as the ! ones used by them at the first public meeting ot the Aim-1 tiberculosis society. It is the general opinion that the milk inspection ordinance campaign, met its Waterloo last evening. The address given by Dr. T. H. Davis r. member of the state board of health, is extremely interesting and is as follows: At the last meeting the question vas asked: "AYhat is the remedy for tincloan milk?" There are many causes for unclean milk. The health of the herd lia first to be considered. Dairy herds are liable to many diseases, among which may be mentioned results of improper feeding; Anthrax-hoof and mouth disease; Fleuro-pueumonia : enteritis, bronchitis, cow pox and many other ailments. There are some of the perils to which milk is subject, sometimes tinder the most approved sanitary surroundings. Clean milk assumes health in the herd. Remedy for Evils. The remedy for those evils is continued observation and intelligent inspection. Diseased cows are mostly excluded by the dairymen but to insure safety a systematic examination of each individual in the herd by an experienced inspector preferably a veterinarian, should be made at. stated Intervals, not, however, as now performed. The city pays its inspector ten dollars a month to inspect five bundled cattle in twenty-seven dairies fix miles distant from each other. It 1 simply a farce.

HUSBAND APPEARS CLAIMS THE AS WIFE James Townsend Talks and Blocks the Game .Played By Spurlock and Well Known Pretty Affinity. CHARGES NOW HANG OVER THE HEADS OF THE TWO. On Release from Jail, Cpurlock Will Again Be Arrested and Police Want Woman With Whom He Lived. Arthur Spurlock, who has been serving a three month's jail sentence for beating .Mrs. James Townsend, who at the time of the young man's arrest was thought to be his wife, will be released from custody, the first of next wek. Spurlock will then immediately lie arrested again on a charge of adultery. If Mrs. Townsend can be located by the police, she will also be arrested on a similar charge. Case Peculiar. The Spurlock case is one of the most peculiar ones that the police have ever been called upon to untangle. About three years ago. Mrs. Townsend went on the road with a carnival company. At Kansas City she met Spurlock. Iast October she and Spurlock returned to Richmond and lived here as rnau and wife, it is asserted. The woman tuld her relatives in this city that while she was in Kansas City she had secured a divorce from Townsend and that she had then married Spurlock. "Death" of Spurlock. Last November Spurlock became crazy drunk, it seems, and while in this condition telephoned his wife, telling her that he had been killed by a railroad train. She did not recognize his voire, and immediately started to the place where Spurlock had informed her he had met his "death." While she was walking to the scene of the "accident," Spurlock met her and immediately made an attack upon her. Mrs. Townsend finally succeeded in escaping from Spurlock and ran to the home of Police Sergeant Mc.Manus. Spurlock pursued her and when she stepped on the front porch of the McMauus home, he again attacked her. MeManus came to the rescue of the woman and a lively scene ensued. Spurlock was first sent to jail to serve eleven days on a charge uf intoxication. On his release he was again arrested on a charge of "wife" beating. The court, for this offense, assessed a sentenced of 11 days. Husband Discloses All. A short time ago Townsend came to Prosecutor Jes.-up and toid him that the woman who had beet. Ih ing with bpurlock was his wife. He denied tiiat she ever secured a divorce from him. On this information the piosecutor swore out warrants for the arrest of Mrs. Townsend and Spurlock. -t is stated that Townsend did not know his wife was in the city until recently. Friends of Mrs. Townsend state that Townsend did know that hi wife was living In Richmond, posing as the wife of Spurlock. It is stated that the woman was in Kiihmond yes terday. bnt totfay her whereabouts could not located.

BY MONDAY THE LAST OF THE LITTLE VICTIMS WILL BE LAID TO REST THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES. Cleveland, O., March 7. Blaming 1 ho Collinwood school horror, with its destruction of 167 lives o faulty construction. C. H. .1. Snyaer, superinten-di-nt of the school bui.Jings of New Vnrlt Cilv declared ihe destroyed

building was typical of thousands oV,ver' l'st and ,m tlle final ballot- tlle

buildings throughout the country. -But if the laws of Ohio bad been observed there would have been no such disaster. The building should have been equipped with more fire escapes and have had more exits from the upper floors. The Collinwood school was of a type which is popular but entirely wrong in construction," he said. Mr. Snyder said: "The Collinwood school w;is'one of a type of which there are thousands in America, all faulty in construction. It is a popular method of construction, but entirely wrong. No schools should be constructed that are not absolutely fireproof. "It is not necessary to erect separate; buildings in which to hous'e the heating apparatus. The Precautions Needed. "There should be, however, complete isolation of the basement from the first floor except through a fireproof passage or stairway. The stairways leading from the first floor should be fireproof and in fireproof enclosures of doors and all doors should be of the same construction. There should be no outside fire escapes, but. plenty of inside stairways of fireproof construction. There should be doors between class rooms and only one doorway into corridors. In the Collinwood building, in addition to the doors into the corridors, there i were doors through the cloakrooms. "This is entirely wrong. It gives j the children a chance to get away from the teacher and rush into da tiger through these numerous doors. If there was but one door leading into the corridor, the teacher could have control of ihe children. If egress was cut off from one point the children could be led into some other room and down another stairway. "Doors, instead of being in the center of the hallways, should be as nearly opposite' stairways as possible. "No school stairway should be more than four feet wide. Down each side there should be a handrail. This would enable two children to go down abreast. Those behind would not be able to push between those in front." LAST BURIAL MONDAY. By That Time All Collinwood Victims Will be Laid Away. Cleveland, O., March 7. Individual i funerals are being held in Collinwood ! today and by Monday evening the last i of the victims will be laid away.

After the tied ion of officers, the financial reports of the year were read. The Commercial club but a fewyears ago was a decidedly w eak organization and when referred to by a citizen, it was generally with a laugh. Under skilful management the club has grown into a powerful factor in the business life of the city. The clubhas also grown in size in a rapid manner. The past year there were 20t members, this membership representing the manufacturing, jobbing, professional and retail interests of Richmond. Refuses to Buy Factories. The club, unlike tho commercial organizations in many cities the size of Richmond in this state, has steadfast ly refused to "boost" the city by buying manufacturing enterprises to locate here. The club at first was criticized for this, but now the citizens of Richmond are of the opinion that the policy of the club has been wise.
