OFFICERS ARE WORRIED
Policemen Inadvertently Handle the
Clothing of a Smallpox Patient.

A telescope grip containing clothing be-.
longing to a. smallpox patient, who had
been consigned to the pest house, caused
excitement among the officers at police
headquarters last night. To-day several
of the officers are wondering whether
they are going to have the disease. 1t is
said that one or two have called at the
health department to have themselves fu-
migated. , 49, =.
Late yesterday health department OFF,
cials picked up a smallpox patient and
sent him to the pesthouse, but overlooked
his grip which was left near the Third
avenue entrances to the city hall. De-
tective James Howard came along after
supper and took the grip into police
headquarters and there with another Of
ficer opened it. He found nothing but a
lot Of clothing which he threw back upon
i the table. Someone who knew that a
smallpox patient had been sent to- the
pesthouse suspected that the clothing be-
longed to him and telephoned to DR.. Hall
!, The latter informed them that the cloth
| ing had been left out by mistake and
that it was probably infected as result
| The officers who had handled the cloth
ing are considerably worried.

BIGGEST IN WORLD.
Washburn.C Crosby Company Will
Stand First With It's New
Buffalo Plant.
It's Total Daily Capacity Will Then
Be $4,000 Barrels-The
Site Bought.

The purchase Of site at Buffalo, N.
Y, and the announcement Of plans for
the erection of q large -four mill, Is the
preliminary step that Is to make the
Washburn- Crosby company OF Mime
apolis the greatest, milling company In
the world. Already the company has a
reputation for enterprise In the milling
world second to none. In the diversified
ton Of interests, and the extension Of it's
influence the company covers a wider field
than any other. In the matter OF gross
output the company has held second
place, but with the completion of the
new mill it will stand first In every re-
spect. James S. Beh and John Washburn,
who went east to complete the negotia-
tions for site, which were started, by
F. F. Henry, Buffalo agent Of the COM
pany. were held up in the wreck on the
Chicago Great Western and did not reach
Minneapolis this morning as expected. At
the offices Of the company the report OF
the purchase Of the Buffalo site was fully
confirmed, the consideration being in the
neighborhood of 100000. Pending the re-
turn Of Messrs. Bell and Washburn .nei-
Their W. Fl. tDunwoody nor c. G. Bovey
would discuss the plans Of the company
in further detail. It is certain, however
that the mill will be large one, far sur
passing in capacity any mill in Buffalo
with capacity close to 10000 barrels a
day. It is likewise certain that the entry
Of the big Minneapolis company into the
eastern milling field will not affect the
local plants of the company in any way.
1.-THE purchase Of this Buffalo prop

hottest connection with the matter Of the

Dr. Jordan would place no restriction
upon the higher education, Of women as
usually understood, nor upon her entering
public life and voting, but he regarded the
training that makes good wives and moth
