WHERE IS THE BLAME?

The Davenport Democrat says:
"The board OF health o. this city and
OF Rock Island are mutually en-
gagged in an interstate case Of con-
tagious disease that may make trou-
bic for somebody yet. A little girl
named Collins, died over there Sun
day night, and Monday her remains
we're brought over here for burial.
They were taken to . house on East
Tenth street, and preparations we're
made for . public funeral. In the
meantime the Davenport health Off
Gals learned that this child had died
of membraneous Group, and that an
other person in the house in which
she died, three weeks before had had
|diphtheria, and so the pu bic funeral
was interdicted here. and the house
placarded for diphtheria, in spite of
the indignation Of its occupants, and
an officer of the health department
remained on guard during the funer-
house. DR.. Cantwell, of the Dayen-
Fort board Of health, has set on foot
an inquiry through DR.. Sala. Of Rock
Island, health commissioner of that
city. and there are prospects that the
Rock Island doctors who are per-
mitted the body Of such patient to
go to burial, and be sent out of the
state, without notice to the health
officers. will be the center OF an in
vestigation."
Health Commissioner Sala stated
this afternoon that Health Commits
sioner Cantwell had called his atten-
tion to the matter, and tina: he hsd
made inquiry of the physician who
attended the case and wdp gave as
surances that he had nos by direct
statement, or inference, given the
family to understand that a public
funeral would be permitted. d.
Sala did not think there would b,
AM thing further come Of the matter
in that the danger was avsr'ei
through the vigilance Of the Daven-
port authorities. And especially 3.
