CHICAGO. April 17.-small-po1 Ia raging in
Chicago and the city 10 apparently helpless.
There are ten cases OF the disease In
the County Hospital. and that instltu-
tlon 10 under quarantine The epi-
demic is Increasing daily. ofTlclals Of the
city and the county have become seriously
alarmed. and It is quite apparent that the
spread Of the disease has grown because OF the
csrslessness OF the officials. Several weeks
ago $4,000 was Appropriated for the Health
Department to build an annex to the pest
house. which has been full for long time.
and nothing has been done on the plea that
the architects plans had not come.
Meantime dozens OF cases can not be rem owed
from the places Of origin. and the epidemic
grows. On Sunday twenty five new cases were
found. and yesterday thirty were reported So
serious has the situation become that Alder
man Madden. Chairman OF the City Finance
Committee. has decided to draw on any and all
OF the city funds to enable the Health Depart
ment to handle the new cases. The County
Hospital is overcrowded with ordinary pa
tients. The pest house itself Is overpacked
with patients. They are sleeping on mat
tresser on the floors OF the rooms Every
available inch Of space has been pressed into
service. and at last It was necessary to close
the doors There are now 17S cases In the
pest house.
In the County Hospital the danger ia immi-
nent. The Warden told the Health Commits
sioner that the hundreds OF patients were in
danger OF coutaRion and pleaded with him TO
have the patients with the pest removed. The
doctor replied that he had no place TO which to
remove them. An l can do" said the II ealth

patients at the SMALLPOX hospital die"

Had the Laugh on Raymond.

Not long ago Alexander Schwalbach OF
New York was approached by II. Z. Ray
mond, chairman OF the l.. A. w. racing
board, says The Bearings, and threatened
with expulsion from the amateur ranks,
owing TO his having trained one OF the 70
cent six day competitors named Forster.
When the charge was made, Raymond
asked II there was any reason why he
(Schwalbach) should not have suspension
passed upon him. Things looked rather
dubious for Schwalbach when suddenly a
likely argument struck him, and here Is the
reply he made to Raymond;
"Mr. Raymond, you charge me with hav'
ing broken laws OF the l.. a. w. which de
prive me OF my amateur standing. You are
apparently unaware that in training Mr.
Forster was but practicing my profession.
/ claim that any man who rides In siI
day contest Is most decidedly a Jackass,
and "a / am a veterinary surgeon know
you will see how merely piled my voos
tion in attending 10 the ailments OF Mr..
Forster and that am innocent OF break
ing any amateur rule What say you"
RAYMOND was carried most forcibly by
the witty argument, and Schwalbach h
