ANOTHER WEEK HOLIDAY.
Schools Not to Reopen Until Mon
day, Jan. Is.

Jay " al AOs
As a precautionary measure against
a threatened epidemic of smallpox, the
vacation in The public schools of Salt
Lake City viii be extended one week,
and when the schools reopen on Mon
day, the 18TH, no teacher or pupil viii
be permitted to attend unless he or she
shall show signs of recent So sceSsful
vaccination. This action was deter
mined upon yesterday at a special
meeting Of the board of education
Mayor ThOmps Health Commission
er KeOgh and DIT. Fisher OF the city
health board participated in the meet
inE.
The meeting was called to consider
the advice to the school board in a
resolution adopted by the health au-
thorities on Thursday, that the schools
be closed thirty daya and general vac
cination be urged upon all teachers and
pupils.
Health Commissioner KeOgh and Dr.
Fisher stated their opinions on the ex-
igencies Of the occasion and both ad-
hered to the belief that nothing short
Of a months vacation from next Mon
day would suffice, although each ad-
mitted that nothing short of Yacclna-
ton and isolation would afford pro-
lection from the cOntagiOn. Dr.. Fisher
pointed out that since general Vaccl-
nation cannot be lawfully compelled,
the next best thing was recommended.
In reply TO questions from members
of the school board, DR. Fisher De
/ clared there was no such thing as ab-
aolute Immunity from smallpox and
that the death rate in children afflicted
with the disease is ten times greater
than r. adults
From the line of questioning 1t was
/ evident to the health officials that the
school board rather favored the plan
proposed by Dr. Beatty Of the state
| health board to exclude from the
I schools only those who are not pro-
/ eected by vaccination, and when a
member mentioned the advice given by
/ DR.. Beatty DR.. Fisher petulantly re
marked: "Oh, well, DR.. Beatty is not
on the city beard Of health"
Mayor Thompson announced that he
/ believed it would be a wise precaution
/ to shut up the schools entirely for a
month.
/ Mr.. Critchl0w then offered a resOlu-
l ton. which finally carried, to extend
/ the school vacation one week and 20
/ exclude all on re-Opening day who
| could not show signs Of recent success
! full vaccination.
/ In support Of his resolution, Mr..
! Critehlow said the proposition would
/ do more to allay the panjcly feeling
| of a smallpox epidemic than would the
/ closing Of the schools for month, and
! moreover il would result in ;he vac
cination of practically every one Of
| the y 900 school children.

school board, Professor Work. principal

FEW BUSINESS CHANGES
Unusually Light Number For This
Time of Year.

It has been a matter Of much COM
ment among business men the past
week the remarkably small number Of
business changes made at the close of
the year This is the time selected by
common consent for changes in busi-
ness firms. at the close Of one years
work and before the work Of the new
year opens up.
But the changes for Salt Lake this
year are SO few and of such minor i'm
portance that people are looking for a
reason to account for it, The reason
generally given is that the business Of
the year Just closed was 80 generally
satisfactory that very few business
men desire a change of any kind.

STOWAwAYS SENT BACK.
Two English Boys who Saw Bat
Little of merica.

Thomas Jones and Charles Smith, two
bright English boys, had a great desire
to see America where there are fortunes
to be made and glory Ii to be won pro-
viding the red Indian does not make his
appearance too soon. Accordingly these
boys slowed themselves away on the
steamship Roman when she sailed from
Liverpool, after the fashion of the heroes
OF the penny dreadful. When at sea and
very hungry they made their appearance
on deck. Their presence did not please
the captain of the ship, for under our
immigration laws these stowaways can
not be landed here, and II they make
their escape ftrom the ship the company
must pay penalty OF about $50 for each
one. So all the view OF America that
these two boys obtained was seen from
the deck OF the Roman, from the police
patrol, which called for them at the
Grand Trunk docks, and through the
windows of the jail, where they have
passed the tima the Roman has been here.
Yesterday they were taken IN the patrol
wagon from the jail to the Roman just
before she sailed, and viii WORK their
passage back to England by caring for
some of the cattle she has on board. The
Dominion Steamship Company must pay
the city for the safe keeDing of the stow
Always. and the bill is about So each.
The boys were very much crestfallon
because they had TO go back on the Ro-
man, but said they didn't think America
was such a paradise as they had been led
to believe &c was.
