TO Dt All I IUUA I tU i (General Vaccination Is the ! Proper Preventative of the Disease Is Statement of Dr. T. H. Davis. -

(MINNESOTA PLAN IS CALLED MODEL ONE proper Precautions Would Have Checked the Recent Epidemic Here, Affecting Over Thirty People. I The abolition of the quarantine law, 'and the passage of a statute requiring very person In the state to be vaccinated, Is, according to Dr. T. H. Davla, former president of the state board of health, the surest way to prevent an epidemic of smallpox. Dr. Davis ays that doctors never, or at least rarely become afflicted with smallpox, although they attend many cases of the kind. "Whyf he asked. "Because all the doctor are vaccinated," he answered himself. It Is declared that vaccination, as performed now. Is absolutely safe. and free from the dangers that formerly were objectionable. The vaccine is entirely under, the supervision of the government at&horlties, and must be absolutely pure,-and must be Injected only by persona of experience. .."The past epidemic of smallpox la Richmond." declared Dr. Davla, "would have been entirely prevent ed nod tnere been universal vaccination. There were 36 cases, since the first of May, all caused by carelessness. The epidemic has now died out. there now being only one case, which la some distance northwest of the city." tart of Epidemic. Dr. Davis said that the epidemic was started by a young man who frequented a Main street pool room. A number of persons, mostly young men of good families, who also frequented the place, were exposed and a few became ill, with the disease. . "Considering the safety of vaccination and the expense to which the city is put to by an epidemic, I consid er that the Minnesota plan of coping with smallpox la the best. In that atate there Is no quarantine. There ,is HO attempt to prevent the spread of the disease by the isolation. The result la that Individuals know they are liable to exposure if not vaccinated, o they get Vaccinated. In that state amallnox haa decreased 50 per cent It would be the same In Indiana." According to Dr. Davis, Dr. J.i N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, Is also favorable to the Minnesota plan. It will be the purpose of the state board of health to thoroughly Investigate the result of the test of this system In the several states In which It Is about to be adopted. "Successful vaccination," said Dr. Davis, "is an absolute preventative for smallpox." Since the dismissal of schools contagion In the city Is rapidly dying out. Only measles now exists and Dr. Davis expects this epidemic to be entirely suppressed In a week. WRECK RESPONSIBIUTYUPTOR.R ' (National News Asportation) Trenton, N. J.. June 15.

Smith, medical sup erintendent of the Eastern Indiana hospital for the Insane has rounded out his twentieth year in continuous service at the head of the Institution.

City Election. Must Be Held,

According to Law, Following Action Taken by Council on Question. COMPANIES TO FILE BONDS, JULY THIRD Each Bidding Corporation to Place $15,000 Bond to Guarantee Acceptance of the Contract. The first move on the part of the city in the water works situation was made this morning, when the board of works fixed 115,000 as the sum of the bond, to be put up on or before July 3, by each bidding company to guarantee carrying out the contract if its bid is successful. .Both H. A. Dill, representing the Richmond City Water Works company, and Attorney A. C. Lindemuth, E. M. Campfield's counsel agreed to the bond and to the time of its being filed. Each stated his company would give the bond named by the city. Although July 3 is set as the date for the bonds being filed, if for any satisfactory reason, either of the companies is unable to furnish bond on that date a short extension of time will be given. Attorney Lindemuth said Mr. Campfield's bond would be from a surety company, and although it might be possible to get It in five days, tlfere is a possibility of a delay. He asked for 20 days in which to file the bond. Lindemuth Protests. "It Is not right that any bidding company should be shut out from the possibility of receiving the contract by fixing a prohibitive date for filing of bonds.- declared Mr. Lindemuth. "It would be wrong to both company and city, the city probably losing a better contract than It otherwise would reeotHStS:, -- -...-;-;. These bonds are only to assure the city of the good faith of the bidding parties. When the contract is finally let a large bond will be filed by the successful bidder. Campfield's proposal fixes this bond at 1100.000. and according to members of the board of works it will be at least that amount. Mayor Zimmerman, it is thought favors a much higher bond. As a preliminary bond, he suggested $25,000. but readily agreed to Mr. Gardners recommenaauon. After the board of works accepts one of the proposals it will be sent to council for passage as an ordinance. When council approves the ordinance, it will be submitted to a vote of the people, according to Aattorneys Jessup and Lindemuth. An Election Provided. The law provides that in purchasing any public service corporation, such as a railway, or a light, water or gas plant, the matter must be voted on by the ; people. Attorney Lindemuth said Thursday morning, that any contract entered into by the city for the ultimate purchase of the plant, was the same as a contract for the Immediate purchase. The city attorney was ordered at Thursday's meeting to draw up a form for the bond. It must be subject to the approval of the board of works before acceptedThe consideration of the bids of the Richmond City Water Works company and of E. M. Campfield Co., will not be considered next week, as first intended, for during that time the Indiana Municipal League holds a meeting at ' Qrawf ordsville, opening Tuesday, and a 3 number of the local officials will attend that meeting. ably the following week the board and council will begin to hld meetings on the water 'works proposition, v There was some objection by Attorney Lindemuth over the report that the board of works will require a great amount of time to cinsider the water works'proposition. He said that no extra delay was necessary. Mayor Zimmerman made a redeclaration of his statement that the board would take Us time and that the forthcoming water works franchise will be for the "good of ; the people."

Its Adoption as a Course of Study in Public Schools Was Rejected by the Board Last Evening.

MANY WERE SHOCKED AT THE SUGGESTION So School Officials Thought Best to Lay Plan on "the Shelf" on Grounds It Was Too Expensive. Because of an implied 1 rather than an expressed objection to the inauguration of folk dancing in the present course in calisthenics in the Garfield and high schools, on the ground that the public would regard the introduction of such with disfavor, the school board at its meeting Wednesday evening decided against the plan proposed by Physical Director R. J. . Horton, and his assistant, Mr. Winjum, both of whom are also physical directors at the Young Men's Christian association. Officially the recommendation was not rejected for such reasons, but on the ground that at the present time it would be too expensive. Though it is admitted the advanced course of calisthenics - would aid in the physical and mental development of the school children, such a radical step as the adoption of dancing in the curriculum is just a little too far advanced for many of Richmond's tax payers and no doubt, if adopted would have resulted In a big rumpus, many people regarding all kinds of dancing as Immoral. Many Were Shocked. Wednesday evening after the announcement in' the Palladium that It had' been recommended that folk dancing be inaugurated in the curriculum of the public schools, many fathers and mothers said: "Has it come to this?" By the action of the boardMhe pupils of the grade schools will receive no instruction in gymnastic work, but the high school and Garfield school pupils will continue with the work as it has been taught during the past two years ' Somp of th nimnlor tn in folk danc!ng wiU be undertaken .The bene-! fit derived from this latter exejreise iB that the chest and lungs will be developed and in fact every muscle and organ of the body improved. It has been noticed that the members of the calisthenic classes have done better work in their studies than those who did not take up this work. Mr. Horton, Mr. Winjum and Miss Com stock will . have charge . of the work. Short lessons each day will be given."''.; ;.''. Business considered at the meeting was of rountine nature. The bids for supplying the public schools with coal were received and opened but because of irregularities of some of the bidders in complying with the specifications, all bids were held up until a called meeting to be held later.

Ohio Senator, in His Maiden

Speech, Says Oil and Tobacco Magnates Are Amenable to Arrest SAYS SHERMAN LAW , IS VERY EXPLICIT Anti-trust Statute Is Easier to Understand Than to Misunderstand He Wants Prompt Procedure. (National Xewa Association) : ; Washington. June 15. Declaring the Standard Oil and the American To bacco companies have violated the law for more than twenty years and that the men in control of these corporations are amenable to criminal prosecution. Senator Pomerene, the new Democratic .member from Ohio, in his maiden speech today, demanded the department of justice to institute proceedings against boti corporations and their officials. Pomerenes immediate subject was the resolution which -he offered some time ago. Instructing tho attorney general to institute proceedings aginst the officers and directors of these companies. He took up the Sherman anti-trust law; and said that it was perfectly explicit in its provisions, and easier to understand than to misunderstand. v Sneaks Very Plainly. "To think that the Standard Oil company, its officials and attorneys did not know the business of this concern was being conducted In flagrant violation cf the law is inconceivable." he declared. He discussed the his tory of the organisation of the Amerlcau Tobacco company and the fight against it In the courts, Including the action which resulted In the recent decision of the Supreme Court against the monopoly. "Now," he Continued. "with these plain findings of the facts and conclusions by the court that the statute has been violated what reason can be given by any sworn official for not continuing his fight against them in order to bring them to the bar of Justice?" What excuse can any law-' maker or any executive give for fail ure to enforce this Jaw ?. . A . decent eense of self respect requires the government cither to enforce this law or repea! li. , . "What respect have these oil and tobacco men shown for the law? What disposition have they evinced to- comply with the order of the court? The history of the Standard Oil company and its allied interests In Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. . has been a continuous record on their behalf and on behalf of their officers, including John D. Rockefeller, to , monopolize the oil business and destroy by means. fair. or foul, where he could not bay out his competitors at his own price. His pathway is marked by a greater number of victims at. his own price. His pathway is marked by a greater reers he has ruined by his unlawful methods than that of any man in the industrial history of this country and yet be goes un whipped of justice. "It would seem the fruit of victory against these companies would be lost, to the government and to the people, unless followed by criminal prosecution. ' I say thi, not out of a spirit of resentment," exclaimed the Senator, "but in order to teach them that they too must obey the law. One of these men behind the bsrs will do more toward restoring ? the ' majesty of " the law than anything that has been don by the federal, government in the last generation. .. It is high time the American people should understand whether the stars and stripes are to be tho' emblem of their power and authority or whether that emblem shall be the oil. barrel and the tobacco leg."
