GUARDS FOR GEDNEY FARM.
STRICT QUARANTINE FOR SCARLET FEVER
PATIENTS AT HOWARD WILL
ETS'S HOME.

The Board OF Health OF White Plains will hold
a special meeting this evening TO take steps 10
prevent a spread of scarlet fever outside OF
Gedney Farm. the home of Howard Wiets
where the owner and three of his guests are
stricken with the disease. The health au-
thorites assert that there has been q laxity
in the quarantine. and hereafter they intend TO
that the big house is thoroughly guarded,
that may leave enter IL except the
physicians and nurses. as they fear that there
may be general epidemic of the disease.
Eugene Sugny Reynal. the clubman and polo
player was first taken Ill with scarlet fever at
Gedney Farm. Then Miss Adelaide Fitzgerald
daughter of General Louis Fitzgerald. became
a victim Of the disease. and was married TO
Mr.. Reynal when he was believed to be dying
Then followed the sickness of Mrs. Paul c.
Thebaud. and finally Mr. Wulets, their host,
was stricken. All four patients were reported
to he much better yesterday by DR.. Ernest
from a very light attack. The entire second
floor of the willets house has been turned into
a hospital.
All OF Eugene Reynals polo ponies and horses
that he had at Aiken reached White Plains yes
terday and were taken to Rocky Dell Farm the
home of his mother. The trainer in charge OF
the horses says that there are six of
scarlet fever in Aiken and this gives ground
for the belief that Mr.. ReynaI caught the dis
at that resort.
Judge F. Harrington Thompson. of the White
Plains Health Board, said yesterday: we in
tend to put guards around the house and 10
enforce strict quarantine. Town Clerk j.
Rockwell Pye has been receiving complaints
that Gedney Farm has not been thoroughly
quarantined in accordance with the law, and
shall investigate
AS soon Mr.. and Mrs. Reynal are able to
leave Gedney Farm. Rocky Dell will be opened
for the season, and they will spend their de-
layed honeymoon there.

GOVERNOR MAKES NO COMMENT.
NATURAL INFERENCE THAT HE is PLEASED
WITH RESULT OF CONFERENCE.

Albany. March 24 GSpeciaD.-Governor Odell
arrived here from New-York at 4:15 o'clock
this afternoon and went 10 the Executive Man
sion. This evening he read a telegram from
New York containing Senator Platt's statement
that those in attendance at the conference held
~ the Fifth Avenue Botel this afternoon had
decided not TO press either State police law or
a metropolitan police law. When asked If he
had any comment TO make the Governor re-
piled that he had nothing TO say.
Since he has been opposed TO the passage ny
the legislature of either of the acts mentioned.
he cannot but pleased the result of the
conference which effectually kills both bills for
this session Of the legislature. Nor from present
appearances need there be any suspicion that
there viii be legislation OF any nature regarding
the Police Department Of New-York. The pol
fey of the Governor and of the Legislature in
passing the bin which centres the responsibility
for police administration on Police Commits
sioner Murphy is to have a thorough trial This
does not mean, however. that intolerable con-
ditions of police management are 10 be permit
ted TO continue unchecked. There are ample
powers in the hands of Governor Odell. which
he viii not hesitate 10 in the public behalf
II il should obviously be his duty to do so.

no trouble now. The only trouble maker was
DR. Parkhurst. who put in an oar, where he
wasn't invited. The organization is with the
Governor and the Governor is with the organi-
zstlon. 1ha: is all"
II is all serene" said Leutenant-Governor
Woodruff. NO one expected any trouble. "
Senator Bracket said: For the present there
viii be no police legislation, but that IS 10 N
dication that If conditions become tntolerao!e
some action may not be agreed upon later
Al the Hoffman House the Democrats heard
the news with mingled feelings. Many were
glad that Tammany's swing I'm the police force
was TO be left temporarily unchecked. Others
had hoped that some legislation would be de-
cided upon. as thev believed such action would
hurt the Republicans in the coming municipal
campaign.
GOVERNOR WATCHING OFFICIALS
There was persistent rumor yesterday that
while Governor Odell had sturdily opposed
police legislation. this indication that he
intended 70 allow Tammany 10 continue its cor
rupt administration Of the Police Department
unchecked. From several sources il was indi-
rated that the Governor whose force Of char
acter and realization of conditions have been
demonstrated, would act and act quickly, in
holding the Mayor and the Commissioner or
Police strictly responsible if conditions became

Murphy or Mayor Van Wyck. or on both in
such action We're warranted, and that he
was watching these officials carefully.

About rs guests had been hidden to

fractions going on in the city and that
people were pretty generally tired from
the pleasures OF the week.
The house was decorated with holly,
evergreen and plants, and presented .
very attractive appearance. To this
might be added the most cordial recep-
tion given the guests by the host and
hostess. all conspiring to make the sven-
ing's entertainment one OF rare enjoy
ment.
The guests were furnished with very
pretty little folders shortly after their
arrival and commanded to play the names
of books on the pages thereof, their cue
being taken from. the arrangement Of

pinned to the wallis f..
There were 40 names to be secured,
and In the guest for the names of the
books there was quite considerable of a
rivalry. Some Of the objects, from
which tho names were to be evolved,
were stickers and much amusement re-
suited.

checked for correct answers, it was found
that Prof, w. d. Miller had succeeded
in guessing the names Of 81 OF the books.
