At present he Is preparing statistics for the women and he will give the names of the families and the length of time which the children were quarantined. Investigations have shown that these cases has all come from the same case or cases and there has been four or five cases in West Richmond constantly. The West Side Improvement Association appointed a committee to take the matter up with the board of works. This committee will hold a meeting to decide what action will be brought. Defore the board. They will appear at the board meeting Monday morning. The committee is composed of N. C. Helronimus, Richard Sedgwick and Lewis Bowman. Health Officer's Answer. In answer to the charges, Dr. Davis Baid, "I highly approve of the action of the West Side Improvement Association in this matter. It will stir up public sentiment in preventing the spread of the disease. The charge that the quarantine laws are being violated may be true. That Is according to the Interpretation of the law. "I have written to state health officials asking them for an interpretation of the law. They will get the attorney general's opinion on the meaning of the quarantine rules and send them to me. Until I receive a reply to the let-

ter, I will act according to my own interpretation. "I am entirely dependent on the attending physician for information regarding cases of contagion which come under my department. At the same time, the physicians would be the last persons I would blame for these violations. I am glad that action is being taken by the West Side women as it ehows that they take an interest in these things." Dr. Davis has been city health officer for 36 years almost continuously. As he cannot attend each case of scarlet fever In the city he is forced to take the word of the attending physician he said. He stated that he does not believe that all cases should be quarantined for the same length of time. Some cases he stated should be quarantined for a short time while others should be quarantined for several months.

(National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 22. What is regarded as the most important half day's session thus for of the House of Representatives was accomplished Friday afternoon when it passed the Dick-inson-Koenig bill limiting the hours of

labor for women and the Fleming pri-'

ate "referred to the Stotsenbur? bill to grant the people the right to say whether they shall hold a constitutional convention. Senator Will R. Wood (Lafayette) used the above words in describing Jhe bill, in a warm speech, deriding th attitude of the Democrats now as compared with two years ago.

Wo :d said that two years ago the Demociats believed the "people" wre in crying need of a new constitution: now they are not so certain of it, said Wood.

Motorcycles are being, added almost every day to the police departments of American cities. Wherever the two-wheeler has been in police service the number of motorcycle officers Is gradually being increased. Councilman O'Shonnesy, of Sioux City, Iowa, is urging the establishment of a motorcycle squad for the Iowa city, believing It to be necessary in patroling and covering remote sections of the city Springfield, O., has added a motorcycle police squad during the past (year. The record shows that Springfield's four motorcycle officers made pnethlrd of the arrests in Springfield during November and December. The other two-thirds were made by 28 oftlcers. This illustrates the efficiency of vmotorcycles. Chief Jannsen, of the Milwaukee police, has asked for two additional motorcycles. Two additional motorcycles have "been placed in commission in the police department of Norfolk, Va. Mayor Schwartz, of Mobile, Ala., believes in the efficiency of motorcycles. "The motorcycle,' he declares, "is the best remedy I have found yet for violators of the speed laws, and I feel sure that the new machine which I purchased today will pay for itself In a short time."

The vote was announced 54 to 30. As a climax to an exciting session.

Rep. Tingle protested against amendments to Sen. Clarke's housing bill, submitted by Chairman Weisman as a report of Judiciary committee B. Although Tingle is a member of the committee he said he never had seen the amendments and Rep. Branaman, another member of the committee made the same statement later. The

amendments were adopted and the bill j

advanced to third reading. Backed by the democratic machine, the Fleming primary bill went through without seriouB objection, although Rep. Jones (Marshall county) declared that the enactment of such a primary law would be a direct violation of party promises. He charged Speaker Cook with breaking his word by handing down Fleming's bill before his own. In fact he characterized it as a "gross Insult." Jones spoke at length on the merits of his state-wide primary and called Fleming's measure a half

way proposition. He quoted Kern and Shively and various Indiana congressmen to prove that Indiana democrats

were pledged to a state-wide primary and acknowledged the fact that the

"bosses" didn't want it. Representative Crawford desired to place the members on record and moved the substitution of the Jones state-wide primary bill for the Fleming measure. Crawford's amendment was tabled and those voting against tabling it were: Ault, Bierly, Bos, Bramanaman, Combs, Crawford, Daugherty, Deck, Friend, Jones of Marshall, Judkins, Kellams, Brennan, Madden, Miderich, Myers, Price Reeves, Sale

Schaffer, Smith, Weidler Just 22 of them and insufficient to make the substitution. Several members explained that they preferred to vote for no primary

at all, but the final vote was 76 to 14 in favor of the Fleming bill.
