ITALIANS BARRED OUT.
They Must Have Certificate of Good
Health,

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Bethlehem, Pa, Jan. 23-owing to the
smallpox scare in the Northampton
slate regions, the Lehigh Valley Trace
tion company today issued orders to it's
one hundred crews to bar all Italians
from the trolley cars on all of it's eleven
lines, unless they be provided with
certificate of good health by the board
of health
The fact that an italian escaped from
quarantine several days ago and fled
from Bangor on trolley car is believed
TO be the incentive that prompted the
orders barring them from travelling ON
trolley cars hereabouts.
