mo. BY May | fear we shall have
such a smallpox scare and epidemic
that London will be in quarantine
when King Edward is crowned"
That this is by no means a pessimis-
tic forecast is evidenced by the fact
that the line referred to began this
week to have the crews of it's ships
vaccinated prior to leaving London for
New York. Other lines are following
its example, fearing that any day the
American authorities may place Lon
con shipping under an embargo on &C
count of smallpox.
The vaccination of the crews is only
preliminary to the same operation in
the case of passengers, the English
shipping firms or agents having no de-
sire to undergo the financial loss which
would be involved by the detention of
vessels having on board unvaccinated
passengers or crews.
On all sides in the United Kingdom
alarming precautions are on foot to
deal with the outbreak. The total of
smallpox cases in London now
amounts to only about 900, but the
cases are SO scattered that they create
the greatest anxiety.

London for the accommodation of the
present and expected patients.
Expert opinion propnesies that the

he, the board will consider them In the

The board is acting largely on &he adj

Grafton for the lighting plant, and while
the board hardly expects to get a bid as
low as that they are of the opinion that
they can get the work done for about
$12, 900.

DULUTH GETTING PROUD
ZENITH CITY WILL CELEBR ATE
TWO ARBOR DAYS THIS YEAR
Mayor Hugo Cut in Ahead of the
Governors, and Insists That
His Is the Real
One. ft

Gov. Van SAINT Thought he was more
than bright and early in announcing
ArbOrf day this year, especially in the
face of the weather of Saturday and Sun
day. But it appears that his eXcellency
was not quite rapid enough, and as a
result Duluth will have the rare privilege
of observing two Arbor days. Mayor
Hugo fixed Saturday, April 10 as Arbor
day in Duluth, several days before Gov
Van SAINT named Friday, April 49, 1t is
somewhat unusual for a mayor Of a
city to name Arbor day on his own ac-
count. That is supposed to be one Of
the functions of the governor. But
Mayor Hugo is going to allow his day
to stand anyway, and he thinks the peo-
pie of Duluth will celebrate mis- Arbor
day more universally than they will
Gov. Van SAINTS Arbor day. Of course
Gov. Van SAINT does not care when thew
celebrate Arbor day. but it will give his
enemies chance to say that he was
second favorite in the Duluth Arbor
day race.
Mayor Hugo's reason for letting his
order stand is that the school teachers
and school children will take a prom
lnent part in starting the campaign here
and, II it occurred on Friday, they would
be occupied with their school duties. and
could not be expec ed to engage in the
programme to any great extent
AS the mayor had issued his prOcla :
nation previous to the governors, he
ooes not see fit to waive his right of
priority, particularly as a great many
OF those who were notified bv the civ
authorities have made their arrange.
ments accordingly.

TALK OF A PROTEST
CENTRAL HIGH DEBATERs NOT
SATISFIED WITH DECISION
AT LIE SUEUR
LOCAL PAPERS ENTERPRISE
Extra Containing Decision and Ar
guments of st. Paul Team Sold
as Soon as Debate
Was over.

Central high school students and mem
bers Of the faculty who went down to
LeSueur Friday for the state high
school oratorical contest are by no means
satisfied with the decision given in that
contest and there is some talk of pro-
test, due largely to suspicious aroused
by an apparently creditable display of
newspaper enterprise. The question de-
bated was: Resolved, That capital
punishment ought to be abolished in the
United States Kenneth McMangan,
Clifford Menu and P. S. Campbell We're
the st. Paul debaters; and Michael DOH
erty, Alice Currer and Henry Currer rep
resented the LIE Sueur high school w.
w. PrendeTgast, eX-state superintendent
of public instruction; Hon. D. L. Steb-
bins, of Rochester, and Hon. A. r.. Pfau,
of Mankato, We're the judges. Their de-
cision was in favor of the LIE Sueur de-
baters.
1t is claimed by the st. Paul students
that as the audience was vending it's
way homeward from the assembly hall
where the debate was held, the news
boys We're crying an extra of The local
paper on the street. The extra contained
a full account of the debate and the de-
cision Of the judges. St Paul visitors
had nothing but admiration for this bit
of press enterprise, but what they
jected to was the fact that the extra
contained the arguments used by the St.
Paul debaters. Under the most favorable
conditions, so the visiting debaters argue,
it would be- impossible for the paper in
question to have those arguments taken
down IN short hand, then Transcribed
and UP in type while the judges were
arriving at a decision and have the paper
out on the Astreet as the audience was
leaving the hail. No specific charge has
been made, it. is understood, but the ST.
Paul students feel that all has not been
fair and above board. Prof. a. T. Den
ny, of the Central high school faculty,
accompanied the debaters to LIE Sueur
and managed the debate for this high
school,
Seen by Th e Globe last night, he
refused to state just what the trouble
was or whether protest woulL be filed,
but he intimated that the matter would
be decided late this afternoon.
The debate in question was the semi
final one in the struggle for state hon
Ors.
