NEARLY ALL VACCINATED
"Anti's" Have Investigated the Lee
and Williams Cases.

s'Anti's" Have Investigated the Lee
and Williams Cases.
Members of the Anti Compulsory Vac
cination society have investigated the
facts connected with the smallpox situa-
ton in the Williams and Lee families, in
each Of which only one person escaped
infection, and have discovered evidence
which they believe prove material error
in the claims made by Health Commits
sioner Hall. The commissioner held that
the facts made a strong case for the eff
cacy Of vaccination. He stated in this
connection that only one member Of each
family, both large ones, escaped the dis
ease, and in both instances these mem
bers had been recently successfully vac
cinated, whereas none of the rest had.
The society now produces afhdavits from
the persons involved stating that all had
been vayccinated with tine exception Of
Mrs. Lee, and within the last seven years.
They ask DR.. Hall to explain this.
The latter answers that he will admit
the facts as stated, but he says that he
will give anybody $40 who will show him
a mark of successful vaccination on the
persons of any member of either family
other than the two who escaped the dis
ease They no doubt have been vaccinat-
ed at some time. he says, but not suc-
eessfulIy vaceinated within the meaning
of the term as understood by physicians
and health department officials the coun-
try over. Give him something harder,
next time is the word he sends to the
society in conclusion.

MEG FOR MOTORMAN

IT'S FOR CALLING THE STREETS

Arthur B. Chamberlain, the architect,
and S. r. Johnson, state bank examiner,
have applied for patent for a street car
attachment. 1t is a megaphone attached
to the motorman's cab, with the mouth
pointing into the car at the side Of the
fare register. The receiving end OF the
tube is adjustable to the motorman's
height.
The object of the device is to enable
the motorman to call the streets. The
ey> Of the man in the cab are always
'front.'" and the added duty would not dis
tract his attention, it is said. The
conductor on a crowded car has difficulty
sometimes in seeing out Of the windows,
and from the rear of the car can hardly
be heard in front. The mega phone. being
high over the heads of passengers, the
sound of the calls would reach the ears Of
passengers better. If necessary the sound
could be magnifed by drum.
A caveat has been filed and the patent
will doubtless be issued, when the owners
Of the device will bring it to the atten-
ton Of the leading street railway COM

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
CRITICISM OF H. CLAY EVANS
Judge L0chren's Views of the
Pension Commissioners
:..sys. Troubles.

Judge Lochren, who was himself pen
sion commissioner under President Cleve
land, believes that the enemies Of H.
Clay Evans, the present commissioner, are
making much ado about nothing in their
efforts to discredit his administration of
pension affairs. While the judge has not
busted himself particularly with pension
matters since his retirement from the bu-
reau, he has, nevertheless, kept posted in
general way regarding the doings of the
department, and he said, this morning,
that in his opinion Mr.. Evans was an eff
cient, just and capable official.
While Judge Lochren was in charge he,
too, was subjected to attacks very like
those aimed at the present incumbent
Much of the difficulty, he believes, is
brought about by INSCRIPTIONS pension
attorneys, who take claims on shares,
and who, if they succeed in securing any
thing, usually keep the greater part Of
it for themselves. Many Of the claims
thus presented are wholly without merit,
and yet when they are turned down, an
appeal to prejudice is made with the old
familiar cry Of Justice for the country's
defenders
The Office of pension commissioner is
probably one Of the most unsatisfactory
within the gift Of the president.

MEAT, PRICES STIFFENING
Demand More and Con
" sumers May Pay 1t.

Retail meat dealers Of Minneapolis do
not believe that the public should get
panic-stricken over a prospective advance
in meat. 1t is true that prices from the
wholesalers to the retailers are stiff and
that an advance has been made since
Monday owing to the extremely nigh cost
of all meats on foot.
James A. Byrnes, manager of the Pro-
vision company, said to-day that there
had been marked advance r,ade in
meats by the wholesaler to the retail
dealers. This advance is really OF no
benefit to the wholesaler because the
farmer is getting the benefit in live cost
on whatever he puts on the market. Mr..
Byrnes says that 1t is impossible to sell
meat at the prices the retailer is getting
to-day, but he is in hopes the situation
may ehange. He emphasized the fact
that meats are no higher than other
things.
At ST. Paul last night the Retail Meat
Dealers association in addition to de-
Gliding not to sell meat on Sunday here
after ordered an advance in prices of
from 20 to SO 1-3 per cent.

Result of the Suit of the Quadru-

Mrs. Ormsby, mother Of the bankruptcies,
secured verdict against the proprietors
of the Palace Dime Museum in municipal
court late yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
ormsby sued for 1920, said to represent
weeks salary for exhibiting her babies.
The proprietors of the museum alleged a
breach Of contract and presented an offset
of $685. 1t was said that Mrs. Ormsby had
agreed to exhibit her babies in. st. Paul
under the same management. She had
refused to do SO because her money for
her Minneapolis engagement was not
forth coming. The proprietors eontended
that the salary was withheld because she
would not complete the contract. The
jury awarded Mrs. Ormsby $245, allowing
the museum managers $75 for the expense
they were put to in fitting up building
in St. Paul to exhibit the quads.

DEATHS FROM TETANUs
There Have Already Been Five This
Year.

There is seemingly some influence in To-.
cal conditions this winter that favors the
development of tetanus. In 1900 there
were six deaths from this disease, and last
year four, while for the first two and a
half months of the present year alone
there have been five deaths, with one
other person lying very low with the dis
ease. It is a source of some comfort to
the friends Of vaccination that in but one
OF all the above cases has there been the
accompaniment OF vaccination.
