SCHOOLS MAY Be CLOSED.
Board of Trustees to Meet TODAY
to Decide the Question.
WHOLESALE VACCINATION
Smallpox Scare Leads Some OF the
Trustees to Urge Neutrality-suspicious.
Called Upon for Advice in tho
Matter

Smallpox was the subject of a pro-
longed debate in the school board last
night. Something will be done to-day,
The schools will close for a while or
they will not. This will be decided az
ter conference between the board and
as many physicians as can be brought
together in the afternoon to discuss the
matter with the trustees. 1t is evident
ly the sense of the board that some
stringent measures be taken towards
preventing a spread of the disease
which is concerning this part of the
state.
The discussion resulted from the re-
port of the superintendent of the
schools, who brought up the matter of
vaccination. For an hour.the board dis
| cussed vaccination certificates. The
superintendent stated that certificates
from trained nurses had been received
and this opened up the argument as TO
whether or not most any old person
might not as successfully vaccinate a
| child as a physician. 1t was reported
| that some one had been going around
and vaccinating children at 25 cents a
head. Then it was suggested that may
full as any. Still a person not licensed
to practice medicine is not qualified 70
issue certificate according to the or
ders of the board of health and at the
same time the person vaccinated by any
other than regularly licensed physi-
clan may be impervious to the attack
of the disease. In this case the person
must be yaccinated again. Again it is
said that a great many children have
been vaccinated within the past two
years, still they are unable to furnish
certificate to that effect because they
did not require one at the time of vac
cination.
To-day was to have been the last day
of grace for those who have not been
vaccinated. But this has been amend
ed so that the child or employee of the
district not vaccinated may have until
tomorrow to furnish the required Ger
tif1cate. This extension of time was
granted at the request of Superinten-
dent Hendricks, who stated that owing
to the great rush at the many doctors
offices, the children in many instances
have been unable to get vaccinated. Fie
reported that 1000 children had pre-
scented certificates yesterday and he eX-
pected that this number would be al
most if not quite doubled to-day.
AT this point Trustee Clinton stated
that he had been informed that the
Walkerville parochial school had closed
on account of the inroads the disease
was making in that city. RE suggested
that It might be wise to close the city
schools, explaining that now that the
children were being vaccinatad N a
body, it is probable that within few
days there will be a general epidemic
of indisposition and hardness, as well
as just excuses for remaining away for

A HARMLESS SINGLE MAN
And He Was Attacked by Two
Women.
THE DETAILS OF THE ROW
Garrity-T oomey- Pitts Ryman Case in
Court in One OF Its Phases-The
Judge Thought Ryman
Was Innocent.

The Garrity-Toomey-Pi
case which has furnished ample OPP
portunity to the police for overwork
has been disposed of SO far as the po-
lice court is concerned. Yesterday the
case Of Frank Ryman, an employe of
Mr.. Toomey, was on trial for assault.
His case is only minor annex to the
fracas as whole. 1t was shown that
he was absolutely on the defensive,
and therefore was discharged. His
statement to the court, while on the
stand, went to show to what extent
a woman's malice may be exercised.
In detailing the row Mr.. Ryman said:
Il am an enploye of Mr.. Toomey.
I was sitting in the office alone on this
particular evening when there came
rap upon the door. OF course 1 went
to the door to see what was up, and
when ] saw that couple of women
We're there I told them that 1 could
not let them in. Mrs. Clarity was
one Of those women. She said. after
/ had refused her admittance that
the room and furnishings being her
property, she would get in there if she
had to raise heaven and earth in the
effort. So she went around to DOR
mer window and through the glass sent
in some rather startling grimaces and
EXPLANATIONS. She cried out in &C
cents wild, Open that door, or 7 will
smash, this window into smithereens.'
Il tried to reason with the ladies,
who wanted to enter a room occupied
by a single man, but they were deter
mined. But l said: Ladies. you
should not want to enter this room
while I am alone But they We're per
sistent. Mrs. Clarity picked up
flower pot and threw it at me and it
took effect on my nose. Still ! held
the fort against all corners. 1 nailed
rug over the broken sash and later
submitted to arrest and went to jail
Attorney Mackel defended Ryman
and pleaded that the only thing for
his client to do under the circum-
stances was to do just what he did.
The judge looked at it in the same
way and discharged the defendant. He
also warned the women in the case
to go slow until the district court shall
have turn at the case, which, by
the way, has been taken there on an
other phase.

| The board of health was to have met
yesterday afternoon to appoint an as

| detained by an operation at the Sisters

to defer to his judgment in the selec-
ton of an assistant. postponed the mat
ter. DR.. Alexander has asked for an
other meeting for to-day at 4:30 O'Clock
to make the appointment. In the mean
time DR.. Monroe has been acting for
DR.. Alexander.
1t was reported from the pest house
last evening that David Dyer, the pa
tient taken from the Stephens block
day before yesterday, was very low and
it is feared he will be the second victim
to succumb to the disease.
DR.. Monroe was seen last evening re-
garding the report circulated yester-
day by one physician that the cases at
Rocker were nothing more than chicken
poX. He said that all he had to say in
reply to that statement was that the man
Lindsay. who was taken to the pest
house. is suffering with continent small
poX. which he contracted in the Beili-
YOU family at Rocker, and he never
smallpox from chickenpoX. DR.. Mon
roe characterized the statement as alb
surd.
The Maule block, in which some IS
or 80 people We're quarantined. presents
The appearance of being deserted. 1t is
said that nearly all who were in the
block when it was quarantined have
escaped by some means.
1t seems that even smallpox will raise

ing the patronage it gives occasion for.
The appointment of guards to watch
the buildings quarantined and enforce
the regulations was originally intrust-
ed to Sanitary Inspector Cronin and
Sanitary Policeman Mckinley, but they
could not agree and one would dis
charge the men appointed by the other
and put on men in their places, and it
became necessary for Mayor Mccarthy
to take the appointments out of their
hands and place them with the head Of
the police department. Whether this
accounts for the fact that several people
have escaped from quarantined build
ings or not. is not known.
A good story is told of how William
Knight got caught at trying to warn
some of the inmates of the Stephens
block in time for them to escape when
the place was quarantined. Police Of
ficer Murphy went into Knights place
of business to telephone headquarters
when the case of Dyer was found in the
block. Knight heard the message sent
over the phone and hurried upstairs
to warn his friends to get out as the
place was going to be quarantined. Of
ficer Murphy was cute enough to divine
his purpose and met him at the foot
of the stairs as he came down and re-
fused to let him out. For his trouble
he was obliged to submit to quaran-
tine for Is days.

day. The two new cases are at Walk
erville, one being Gertrude O'Donnell
the youngest daughter of Attorney
Charles O'Donnell, and the other
young lady named Downey. The at
tending physicians have suspected
both for two or three days, but it was
not till yesterday when the eruption
came out that they could positively
diagnose them as smallpox. DR.. Mon

removed to the pesthouse.
The steady spread of the disease has
been the means of prompting people
TO get vaccinated very generally and
the offices of the physicians of the

to get an opportunity to roll up their
sleeves. At the rate vaccination is go
