YOUNG SAILORS AFFLICTED.
Cerebro Spinal Meningitis Brsaks Out
on TWO Reraiuinr, Sh;ns

en- Two Receiving Ships.
Philadelphia, May ll.--Deadly cere-
bro spinal meningitis, popularly
known as spotted fever, and one OF the
hardest contagious diseases to com
bat, has broken out in the ranks of
the 1900 men aboard the receiving
ships Minneapolis and Puritan at
League Island navy yard. Already it
has killed three young recruits, while
five more victims are lowering be-
tween life and death. Grave fears
prevail that others among the embryo
bluejackets, who ate, worked and slept
with the stricken, may fall into the
fever's embrace. This prospect has
alarmed the officers at the yard to
such an extent that an heroic effort
will be made to prevent a spread of
the disease, not only by constantly
watching the men, but by removing
them entirely from the two receiving
ships. The work of raising thirty
five tents will be started and as soon
as he canvas shelters are in place the
1,2OO young tars will be put out to
camp. giving them plenty of fresh air
and more room for exercise, which it
is thought will materially lessen the
chance for further inculcation of the
disease.

court affirmed the decision OF the low
er court il the case of the state against
Jessie Morrison. Jessie Morrison was
declared guilty Of killing Mrs. Olin
Castle three years ago at the Castle
home ia El.orado. The decision
means twenty years imprisonment.
The opinion, which was written by
Justice John C. Pollock, SAYS:
Upon the theory of the tragedy, as
maintained by the state, the murder
was butchery Of such savage and
vicious nature as rarely is equaled
and never excelled in the criminal his
tory of the civilized world; that
search of parallel so shocking must
be instituted among the traditions Of
the aborigines. 1t was brutal deed,
utterly lacking in mitigating circum-
stances, alike appalling to the mind
and shocking to the sensibilities."

Milwaukee, May 11.-Because of the
