II RAKING IS GIVEN DAVIS

IN A LETTER Committee of W. R. I. A. Says Scarlet Fever Epidemic Due to Incompetency or Criminal Neglect. (Continued from Page One.) from infected premises and require them to exclude such children. None of these points have been observed in the present epidemic. Has the Health Officer of a city any legal right to disregard the rules ot the State Board of Health as outlined above? If so, on what rule or law is such right based? In the face of the steady increase in scarlet fever cases shown above can there be any defense of your disregarding these rules of the State Board ? May the public expect prompt and efficient action in the present menacing conditions? Will you, as Health officer of the city, ftarlessly, impartially, and conscientiously conform to the rules as lid down by the State Board of Health? N. C. Heironimus Richard Sedgwick Frank L. Waidele Harlow Lindley Public Service Committee Weat Richmond Improvement Asm Health Officer Davis answered the accusations of the West Side people who have been making an investigation of the alleged scarlet fever epidemic in this city by sendiug to the board of works a letter. The report of two cases came in yesterday afternoon to Dr. Davis. He immediately made an investigation and found that both cases were in the same family and had come from a light case next door. The houses are at 426 and 428 Lincoln street. The placeB were immediately quarantined. Dr. Davis sent the report to the board in order to show how the disease without the knowledge of the physicians or health officer that such a case exists. He stated that it is a duplication of dozens of similar instances in the city where even the persons wno have the disease are not aware of the fact and spread the germs unintentionally among their friends and neighbors Report on Two Cases. The report which Dr, Davis submitted to the board was as follows: "History of cases at 426 and 428 Lincoln street: Child at 428 had sore throat but was not very sick. No doctor was called. The mother at 426 Lincoln street asked that she might leave her two children at 428 while she went on an errand. Although informed of the conditions but not thinking of scarlet fever, she left her children for an hour or two. In due time scarlet fever appeared at 426. First child at 428 recovered. There was no quarantine, no card, no disinfection. Today the second child has it at 428. So today 426 and 428 Lincoln street are in quarantine, too late. This is a history of cases which occur all over town. It makes arbitrary quarantine a hardship in some cases and of little avail, while others are 'free to roam." " The members of the board are of the same opinion as Dr. Davis on the matter. They stated this morning that the history which the health officer submitted can be applied to many other cases. This, they believe, would place the blame on the parents, who do not summon a doctor when the child has mild symptoms of the disease. No blame is placed on Officer Davis. Members of the board also said that the charges that the quarantine laws are not obeyed are unjust. One member of the board stated that he believed that when a case is over and the patient well the quarantine should be removed although the patient had not been in quarantine for the full 21 days.

SHORT-SIGHTED POLICY

On the Part of a State Which Puts the Physical Integrity of Its Male Population Above That of Its Women Who Bear the Heaviest Social Burden.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE Why did they applaud? When the House passed the ninehour law for women In this state? Making fifty-four hours each week. A great triumph! In fact the defeat of the eight hour law for which this was substituted was a disgrace to the state. A commonwealth which thinks more of thte physical and industrial condition of its male population than its feminine, is lacking in the most ordinary acumer. The scheme of nature puts the heaviest physical burden on the woman. Hence she should be protected by the state. And far more carefully than the man. In Indiana this is reversed. Protect the men but let the women go to hades. Squeeze every bit of life out of them, throw 'em on the industrial scrap-heap and garner in a fresh lot. But even this nine hour law was not a sincere manifestation. Merely a sop to Keegan, the author of the eight hour law and a representative of the labor interests. The resignation of Keegan looked bad. It put the dominant party in an unenviable position with a certain heavy voting section of the population in this state. Especially when Keegan publicly announced he would as lief sit in an assembly of lepers as remain in the legislature. So this half measure was merely a sop to Keegan and the labor interests. It was not sincere. Not honest.

One legislator publicly declared he . notch. . dero and Suarez to the National palvoted against it because he thought it j Let a little of this money sent out j ace for an examination.

What a noble and patriotic spectacle , was this, my countrymen! You might think, we were living in the dark ageB. When people burned each other at the stake because some doubted the oracular statement of others that a million angels could dance on the point of a needle. The whole trouble is that society doesn't recognize the value of tolera tion. ," Of getting at the other fellow's viewpoint. That's what's the matter with this Sunday question. The element that wants everything as tight as a drum on the Seventh day of the week only sees its own smug, complacent self. It looks into the mirror and sees the reflection of its own righteousness. It forgets the one hundred thousand other persons who may be looking in the mirror and seeing their differently cast visages. If you can't "put yourself in his place" you have missed the spirit of Christianity. Let the inordinately righteous who seek to make every otner numan Deing toe the chalk line of their manmade rules and regulations mount to the pinnacle and take a birdseye observation of the whole thing. They will then see that the human landscape dovetails like the parts of a mechanical toy. You can't isolate yourself. And say that so and so is the order of the universe. That such and such is the proper human procedure. ' You simply can't do it. For when you do you assume the attributes of your own God. You've got to get the other fellow's point of view. You must give every human entity a chance. The world has gone beyond the place where a group of people can impose their man-made creeds and con victions on a majority. The human race is evoluting beyond that. Bigotry Is no longer in the high seats. You can become conscious of this by taking a few deep sea observations of the social activities of the great middle class which makes up the backbone of the nation. Neither the plutocratically rich. Nor the desperately poor. They are, In the main, a church-going people. Attendant upon the regular services of their particular religious body. But they recognize the fact that harmless diversion for the rest of their weekly holiday is neither antipathal to their religious profession nor an assault on their moral integrity.

ber that your "neighbor" is your "brother." That differences are negligible. And more an outward form Than an inward state. The spectacle of this poor little legislator issuing a pronounciamento to the effect that the exclusion of Keegan from the state legislature would be a benefit to the community was as pitiable as it was amusing. Keegan is, as stated here the other day, one of the best friends women and children of this state have ever

had in Indiana's legislative halls. tie nas Deen tne originator or a i number of bills whose substance was of inestimable value to the social welfare. And although defeated by "the interests," by the machinations of self seeking politicians and such general all around dubs as the speaker in question a man who should not be permitted to hold a seat in our state assembly Keegan still fights away in the interests of humanity. If the legislature was made up of Keegans something would be done to advance the social interests of the commonwealth. It is the superlative idiots like the man who said he voted against the bill because he wanted to bar Keegan out that are the shackle on progress. , They are of the same calibre as 1 those who sav "T clhrat SnHav in : a certain way and everybody else must celebrate it my way. And those who refuse to be guided by my way are bad, wicked, vile and a menace to society." They are of the class that gives generously to foreign mission, say, and grind down its employees to the last Christianity would make a long jumn toward its goal. Many employers use specious reasoning to convince their women employees that the eight hour law, in instance, would be inimical to the women's best interests. They say, in effect, that a loss of wages would follow a reduction of the working hours and that nine hours with a half holiday is preferable to eight hours with none. In this way the unthinking women over the state, who would be affected by the eight hour law, were made to seem to support the employer's protest against it. And as long as women remain unthinking just so long will they stand in their own industrial light. For men care nothing for women save in the sex relation. They will be as merciless on them when it comes to a matter of wagepaying and in sustaining a purely busi -

ness relation as any member of the ; I w"ps still standing by the corner. 'Maravenous pack to another. j dero is dead,' he called to me.

pensation. Here is where the labor union protects its members. It has forced recognition of the decent living wage. You will find factory girls in this town who cannot make more than fifty cents a day at piece work even though they are experienced if the work is a phase new and unfamiliar to them. When widows with several children to support can make but five or six dollars each week working the present fifty-four hours, and when it is put up to them by their employers that if the number of working hours is reduced these wages will be even less what, in common parlance, is "the poor woman to do?" Of course she will say she is not in favor of the shorter hours. Wrhat we need is a little more hu-j manity in Indiana.

on both sides of the street just as they were about to turn off from Cintura street to the penitentiary. As the automobile containing the prisoners was in the center of the party, it naturally afforded the most conspicuous target. The firing lasted only a few minutes as the assailants had evidently under-estimated the strength of the force guarding Madero and Suarez. "Madero and Suarez were being taken from the national palace to the penitentiary to stand trial in the crim inal courts." It was because he feared for their safety in the palace that the transfer was being made. The prisoners did not object to the change and the hour of midnight was selected in order to frustrate any possible attempt to liberate the captives. "The government disclaims any responsibility for the deaths of the two men and if it found that they were wantonly killed, every effort will be made to find and punish the assailants." It had been on the government's program to try to restore civil law in place of martial law today but as a result of . the double assassination this was impossioie. un account or me great "umber of political arrests, the government also found it convenient to continue a state of martial law to expedite hearings.

Right u the edge of a shadow cast by the brilliant moon, half way down the rear wall there was a group of men and two automobiles. It was about 12:20 o'clock. The men were running about. Finally they gathered in one spot some distance away from the automobiles. I saw one man run to a car, take out a lantern and rejoin the group. Then a rurale, rifle in hand, "'What is coming toward? "'What has happened,' I asked him. He slowed up a little and shouted, 'Madero has been shot.' Next an officer came running in my direction, for if I could proceed. 'Go ahead, it's all over now,' he replied. "As I walked forward I saw two bodies picked up from the ground. Three men carried each body, one having the arms, the others the legs. The heads of both victims hung almost dragging upon the ground. How Madero Looked. "In the moonlight I could see the waxen and bearded features of Madero smeared with blood.

His est was torn and the soldiers had ripped it open in front to feel if his heart had stopied beating. "I asked an officer, who came un how it happened. He smiled in friendly greeting, apparently with no thought of the tragedy in his mind, then said We were nearly to the penitentiary when I heard shots. Some of the men ran toward our party.

'The news was telephoned immediate to the National Palace for when I passed there shortly afterward th building was lighted up and electric lights were blazing. It was then 12: SO o"clock.
