It was not considered necessary or even an advantage to make it a pleasant place for you to come at any time. Modern storekeepers realize that the arrangement and surroundings of their stores make a great difference to their customers. They know that an attractive display in the windows or in the store impresses not only the woman who intends to buy, bat the prospective buyer. From time to time they add new appointments until today the modern store plays a big part in our dally life. Read the advertisements in THE PALLADIUM closely and constantly every day and see what the best merchants are doing for your comfort and convenience. Palladium circulation, February 19,

EXECUTION OF

PUNNED BY HUERTA -AND DIAZ

QUARANTINE RULES IGNORED HE SAYS Prof. Elbert Russell Says Scarlet Fever Is Not Be ing Stamped Out Here. ACTION IS NEEDED He Wants to Know What Excuse the Health Officer Is Prepared to Offer. BY PROF. ELBERT RUSSELI of the Earlham Faculty. Scarlet fever has been prevalent in west Richmond for nearly a year. Since the sixteenth of last September, cases have occurred in fifteen families that send children to Baxter school. In this time there must have been twenty-five or thirty separate cases in this territory, snd the disease continues to spread. An investigation started by patrons of Baxter school reveals the fact that the rules of the State Board of Health have not been com plied with or enforced. y Rule 4 of the rales governing quarantine and exclusion from schools reads: "The mini mum period of isolation and exclusion from school In contagious diseases shall be as follows: "Scarlet Fever For the patient and children in the family with the patient. quarantine for not less than twentyone (21) days after the beginning of the disease; exclusion of the patient and children associated with the patient from school for ten (10) days after the removal of quarantine. Other children may. At the discretion of the health officer having jurisdiction, be disinfected and removed to another house, and shall there be isolated and excluded from school ' for a period of ten (10) ' days and then released, provided 'they remain free from the disease. "For adults living in the famUy with or exposed to the patient: while the house remains . Quarantined, unless aalradtttts submit to thorough disinfection of the body and clothing .and do not come in contact with the" patient." Rule 6 reads: "When a case of con tagious disease is reported, it shall be ! the duty of the health officer having' Jurisdiction to ascertain the schools attended by any children from the in fected premises and to serve notice 1 upon those in charge of such schools, i requiring that all persons from such infected premises and to serve notice! upon those in charge of such schools, requiring that all persons from such infected premises be excluded from the school until a medical cert 1 teste or a written permit from the health officer be presented." In very few cases has quarantine been enforced over ten days and In many cases only one week. Physicians say that the health officer will not insist on the three weeks quarantine and without his authority they are powerless. The city . health officer says he will not undertake to enforce the 21 days quarantine unless assured of the cooperation of all the physicians in the city. The city medical Inspectors of schools snd many of the. principals have not been supplied with copies of the regulations of the In dian State Board of Health. One of the Inspectors says he has repeatedly asked the health officer for a copy but is Unable to get it. The principal of Baxter school says he has n ver been notified of cases of scarlet fever as Rule 6 requires. Yesterday morning a pupil from a house where there is scarlet fever was excluded from Garfield school only because private persons reported' the case. The prin cipal of Baxter school makes the fol lowing signed certificate regarding efforts to enforce the rules which were thwarted by the health officer: "To Whom It May Concern: There have been two pupils sent to the office, which Dr. King pronounced scarlet fever and ordered them sent home. They secured certificates- signed by Doctor Davis and returned to school the same day or the day after. O. A. STEELY." It Is clear that the health department has made no determined effort to stamp out the disease. The health officer may have some explanation to make of his failure to enforce the rules of the State Board of Health, but it win take a very good one to reconcile ns to the expense of maintaining a dry health department, which does not do even what the laws require to prevent our children being exposed to so dread a disease ss scarlet fever and to the danger of lifelong disabilities which even light cases of scasiet fever are likely to cause. TWO OTHER CONCERTS Glenn Frlerwood. conductor of the Earlham Choral Club, announced at a rehearsal last night that two more concerts will be given this year. The mmsic for the first one has been purchased and practice has begun. The concert will take place about two weeks after the Spring vacation. The second concert wiU probably be given during commencement week.

OMINOUS MESSAGE SENT ELDER DIAZ Former Dictator, Now in Paris, Told That He Has Been Avenged Situation Still Very Grave. (National News Association) MEXICO CITY, Feb. 20. General Felix Diaz, nephew of Porfirio Diaz, former president of Mexico, who was exiled by Madero, today sent the following cablegram to Porfirio Diaz in Paris: "You 'are avenged. Gustavo Madero is dead." This led to grave fears that Francisco Madero would be executed, perhaps without the formality of a trial Mrs. Madero. wife of the deposed president, visited Provisional PresW dent Huerta today and made a pitiful plea for the life of her husband. She was accompanied by two sisters of the deposed president. . Soldiers on guard refused them admittance, hut Huerta. learning of the visit ordered them admitted. With outstreatcbed arms and tears streaming . down her cheeks Mrs. Madero threw herself at ue ieettoi me new president. .."You may have all our property, all ttntf nnMT an4 Aiin'mnmlu fx nmtm . v.' yvm&Mi.4Kuur. mm,m HTi. .

Mrs. Madero and her two-iatra-in. law were led from the building, all weeping hysterically. . MAY TRY MADERO. MEXICO CITY. Feb. 20. The fate and whereabouts of Francisco L Madero, deposed president of Mexico are uncertain today. While a special train, was made up to carry Madero and his Immediate family to Vera Crux for . banishment, a strong sentiment " developed smong the radical followers of Provisional President Vict ori ano Huerta. that Madero should be held for trial by court martial for the murder of Col. Rlveroll which occurred in the national palace at the time of the former president's arrest. Speedy execution of Madero as an object lesson to all antagonists of the present new gOT ernment was demanded. Francisco Madero was charged with! shooUng RlveroU with a pistol for . shouting "Viva Diaz." -" Provisional President Huerta an Felix .Diaz, provisional commander of the army were in control of the sitsstlon here todsy and promised that the) reign of martial law would be ended) by Sunday. The reconstruction of the) republic has been commenced with, force of arms and there are indications that Huerta will develop Into another Porfirio Diaz.

"If we are to command respect for law we must maxe u respect ra oy iae strictness of its enforcement," declared Huerta. The new provisional p res 'dent was always an admirer of Porfi-lo Diaz, wbose wsys he studied snd aimed to Imitate. When Porfirio Diss wss exiled by Madero. Gen. Hnerta acted as his bodyguard to Vera Crux and stood by the side of the sged dictator until he was safe on board ship. There was an affecting parting between the two and during the turmoil of the last two years Hnerta has privately expressed the wish many times that Diaz would return. He was too much of a soldier to express the wish openly but remained loyal to Madero until the ship of state was completely wrecked on the shoals of rebellion. The body of Gustavo Madero, brother of Francisco Madero and former minister of finance, who was executed yesterday by Diaz's Insurgents was claimed by his family and privately burled today. Already the rumblings of fresh revolution , are heard. Gen. Francisco Romero, a Maderlst. was arrested, vaiI villi fiunMitlfiv mntln tnwifii the rurales and was ordered held Incommunicado. He will probably be.
