lid EPIDEMIC HERE ASSERTS DR. HURTY Letter to Dr. Davis Says That He Has Been Conforming to Law.

DEMAND CERTIFICATE

Before Children Can Be Admitted to School Following Quarantine.

Instructions received today by Dr. Davis, city health officer from J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health coincide with the interpretation of the state law for quarantines under which Dr. Davis has been governing the length of quarantines in this city. There will be no change in Dr. Davis methods in handling these cases hereafter as the health officer has been complying with rules of the State Board of Health, he says. The communication also defines the practical use of the word "epidemic." An epidemic, states Dr. Hurty in the letter, is defined by the State Board of Health as consisting of ten cases of any infectious disease for every thousand of population. For an epidemic in this city, there would have

to be at least 250 cases of an infectious disease, according to the State Board of Health. There are now ten cases of scarlet fever in Richmond, Dr. Davis stated today. Four of these have recovered and the patients will soon be released from quarantine. "Hereafter it is desired, that when children are sent home from school by the school examiners, they be not readmitted until a certificate is presented the teacher from the school examiner demanding it," stated Dr. Davis. "Other cases of scarlet fever which have been under quarantine will receive as heretofore, a certificate of admission from the health officer. , "From last May until the present date, an examination discloses the record that of two deaths directly due to scarlet fever and four deaths where scarlet fever was reported as a contributary cause. There has been no diphtheria for several months, but 'hereafter, should it appear, no case will be released unless a report from the bacteriological laboratory demonstrates a safe release from quarantine." Letter From Hurty. Dr. T. Henry Davis, Richmond, Indiana. Dear Doctor Davis: ' Your letter of the 20th and also of the 22nd received. As told you by telephone Saturday, 22nd was a holiday and we had no stenographers and I could not make a reply until now. The question What is an epidemic has been discussed a good deal. The

American Public Health association at one time passed a resolution that ten cases of any infectuous disease in a population of one thousand would, for the practical purposes of the association be termed an epidemic. According to this in order to have an epidemic in Richmond, you would ha s to have at least two hundred and fifty cases of any infectuous disease. Concerning quarantines; the quarantine law itself says: "The health officer shall immediately, in person or by deputy, quarantine the infected house, rooms or premises, so as effectually to isolate the case or cases and the family if necessary, in such manner and for such time as may be necessary to prevent transmission of the disease." Rule Four of the State Board of Health requires for scarlet fever: "For the patient and children in the family with the patient, quarantine for not less than 21 days after the beginning of the disease. Exclusion of the patient and children associated with the patient, from school for ten days after the removal of the quarantine." Accept Doctors' Statement. The rules of the State Board of Health also state that: "Health officers must not come between the physicians and the patients. The attending physicians diagnosis must be accepted unless there are extra good reasons for not believing that there is an attempt to smuggle or to hide some quarantinable disease or unless the diagnosis is flagrantly wrong, as for instance, tonsilitis diagnosed for diphtheria." The instructions from this board, therefore, would be for all health officers to accept the diagnosis of the attending physician unless there are strong reasons for believing that some deception is being practiced, which would work ill against the public. The health officers must establish quarantine in such manner and for such length of time as in his judgment Is necessary to prevent the spread of infection, and it a period of time is determined on by the health officer, that period of time shall be the same as is laid down in the rules of the State Board of Health for each of the infectious diseases. - If the physician attending a case of Infectious disease certifies either orally or in writing, to the health officer that the case is well and that there is no danger of transmission of infection from the patient, then the health officer (unless there is abundant reason for suspecting wrong) should raise the quarantine and this despite the rule of the State Board of Health, which fixes 21 days as the period for scarlet fever quarantine, the said period being fixed by the board, provided the local health officer wishes to adopt it. I note that scarlet fever is very mild all over the state, and I am very glad of It. However. It might become evere at any time, and therefore the Jalld cases must be taken care of as Carefully as possible so as to prevent fjpread of infection from the disease. (Signed) J. X. Hurty. Seoretary State Board of Health.

But when the senators got through changing their vote there were but five against it. Other bills passed were: Raising the age limit for pharmacy licenses to 21 years. Providing $500 fine and eight years' imprisonment for maliciously poisoning domestic cattle.

A BUDGET MESSAGE SENT TO CONGRESS

Many Recommendations For the Federal Service Made By President Taft. (National Nwa Association) WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. For the first time in the hiBtory of the American government a budget message waa submitted to Congress by the chief executive of the United States when President Taft today sent to the Senate and the House of Representatives a statement, in budget form, on the financial conditions of the various governmental departments, together with certain recommendations and estimates on revenues and expenditures. This departure from precedent, the President said, was actuated "by experience and common sense," and was supported "by judgment and experience that has obtained in the management of corporate bodies, both public and private" in which the executive head annually sets forth "what has been done during the past year and what it is proposed that the corporation shall do during the next year."

Though President Taft did not charge directly that this failure, for more than a century to issue a budget from the White House, had caused a waste of the public's money, he at least charged gross carelessness when he said that this government, with expenditures of "more than ane thousand million dollars each year," may be said "to be without a plan or program" as to its finances. The president said that the advantage to Congress of a budget submitted by the "responsible head of the administration " must be apparent, inasmuch as It would greatly facilitate the work of that body in making appropriations. After reviewing, with tables of statistics, the various departments of the financial side of the government, the President concluded his message with a number of recommendations. He repeated his previous recommendation to the effect an economy by putting postmasters upon the classified list, declaring that the result would be a saving of $4,512,000. The sinking fund act, he said, had "become a dead letter," and should be revised. A recommendation, that he dealt at length with, was that "the Government at Washington should be housed in public buildings which should be built in such manner as to conform to a general plan of public buildings for the Government within the city," and he proposed that it would be well to spend from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 within the next two years to carry out the program. The saving in rent now being paid to the District ef Columbia, which would be affected by such a program, the president said would warrant the investment of $100,000,000. The President proposed that bonds should be isued and money borrowed thereon for the Government's land purchases, buildings and public works, with the cost proportioned over a period of twenty years, and with the bonds payable out of a sinking fund.

In order that the government might be more efficiently administered the President recommended that a bureau of administrative control should be established, which would really be a consolidation of the six auditors' offices and the comptroller of currency and the other central accounting offices, into one executive bureau.

LUNDY JURY FAILS TO REACH VEROICT Second Trial Results Same As First May Be Tried Again. After deliberating for seventeen hours the Jury in the caae of Clyde Lundy for the aecond time failed to reach a decision aa to the guilt or Innocence of the defendant. Lundy is charged with having sold liquor to Charles Basson on Dc. 24. 1912. Bauson alleged that he obtained whisky without a prescription. Lundy alleged that Basson threw

the bottles in his yard for spite work and then attempted to prosecute him. Dr. Harrison Gabel, father-in-law of the defendant is said by Luady to have given Basson a prescription that was introduced by the defense as proof that Basson had a prescription. The state attempted to prove that the defendant was in a combine with his father-in-law to sell whisky through the latter's prescriptions whether it was obtained for medical purposes or not. The jury deliberated from five o'clock yesterday afternoon until ten o'clock this morning, at which time them were discharged by Judge Fox after they had stated they could not reach a decision. According to one of the officials there was only one Juryman for acquittal. Officials believe that Albert Capillar perjured himself when he testified yesterday. At the close of the case Monday, Capellar volunteered the information to the prosecutor that he

had seen bottles handed to persons from Lundy's place of business. He told Reller that he had seen whisky bottles thrown from the store of the defendant to the alley in the rear. The case may be tried again according to the prosecutor who has not dismissed the case, as yet. It cannot be tried this term though it may be brought up next term.
