CHICAGO, April 2.-"You are
plague bound by scarlet fever" was
practically the announcement made to
citizens of Lake Forest today by the
health department of the north shore
town in a printed circular, and the
news was added that the quarantine
would be extended until April II. The
reason for the carefully prepared pre-
sentation of the health boards view of
the situation is found in the hostile
attitude which most of the citizens
have taken in declaring that the
disease which has entered the COM
munity is not scarlet fever, but light
malignant Philippine fever, or '1tch,"
which has been spread through the
Northern towns by Fort Sheridan SOL
diers recently returned from the Phil
ippines.
An infectious fever said to be the
same as the disease the Lake Forest
health board has branded as scarlet
fever is claiming victims in almost
every town from Highland Park north
10 WduKegan, Where there are $50
cases. In Libertyville, Waukegan,
Highland Park and Lake Bluff, where,
as in Lake Forest, the disease is light
in form, but tenacious, the diagnosis is
generally German measles" or Phil
ippine Itch" and the general opinion
shared by many medical authorities
outside of Lake Forest is that it was
caught from soldiers off duty. The
town board OF health cites the author
tty Of Dr. George w. Webster, presi-
dent of the state board of health, In
emphasizing the fact that the epidemic
is scarlet fever and not the Philippine
itch"
Meanwhile the town is in a sad
plight. Churches and schools are still
closed by order Of the board, and so
strict are the regulations and so fear
full have outsiders become Of visiting
the town that business has been prac-
tically killed. Lake Forest college, with
its various affiliations, is taking
longer vacation" than usual, though
not at the command of the local health
department. Following is the notice,
which nearly forbids social intercourse
among the citizens:
Persons having business to transact
in stores or shops OF the town will
please finish their errands as speedily
as possibly in order to avoid gather

Largely in Final Act of
Balkan Drama.
Special Cable to The Globe.

Special Cable to The Globe.
LONDON, April 2.-Great Britain
is taking a stronger stand in the Bal
kan crisis than the English press and
public appear to realize. This state
ment Is based partly on information
obtained in diplomatic quarters and
partly on the explicit declarations of
a distinguished member of the Ar
menian Relief association. The strong
er stand suggested consists In warning
to Turkey that Europe cannot toler-
ate the continuance of anarchy in the
Balkans, and significant intimations to
Russia and Austria that no settlement
must be contemplated IN the disturbed
area that leaves the interests of Great
Britain out Of account
There is a strong feeling that Rus
sia, Austria and Turkey are disposed
to play with fire, and the government
has deemed 1t wise to formulate the
British policy in precise terms for the
benefit of the cabinets of st. Peters
burg and Vienna Otherwise 1t was
feared that Russia and Austria, count
ing on the weakness or Indifference of
the Balfour ministry, might embark
on a scheme to control the near East
that would inevitably provoke war.
Downing street regards British inter-
ests in the near East as vital to the
integrity Of the empire, and has not
the slightest intention of seeing them

manic greed.
Europe is nearer war over the Bal
kan question today than at any pre-
vious moment for years. said a mem
Der of the executive staff of the Ar
menian Relief association. "The cloud
may pass, but the situation is extra
ordinarily dangerous. One of our rep
resentatives, who has just returned
from the scene of the trouble, reports
that Macedonia is a regular arsenal.
He says that the caves. cellars and
churches are filed with rifles and am
munition, imported throughout a long
period Of years. The priests are tire
less revolutionaries. and there is no
thought anywhere of stopDing short
OF emancipation from Turkish rule.
When the Russo-Austrian reform
scheme breaks down. then look out.
The powers, in the name of civilization
must act. The only effective action
possible can scarcely fail to entail the
movement Of fleets and armies on a
huge scale. RuSsia's motives are a
matter of deepest suspicion in Fnp-
land. What she will dare we cannot
predict, but Great Britain proposes
playing an important role when the
curtain rises on the final act on the
Balkan drama"

TRIM HINES ACCOUNT.
Expert Accountants Claim for SIS Per
Day Reduced to $40 Per Day.


The house yesterday cut Expert Ac-
countant Hines bill for services on the
capitol investigation from $1,161,61 to
$82717 and appropriated the money for
payment.
The cut in the accountants claim
was not made without a fight on the
part of Chairman Won Wald, Of the
public accounts committee, and Messrs.
Hickey and Sheppard, Of the subcom-
mittee, which conducted the examina-
tion. The resolution called up by Mr..
Won Wald provided for compensation
at the rate of SIS per day Of eight
hours for work on the capitol accounts,
and $40 per day for services in eX-
amining the offices of the state treas
urer and public examiner.
The house several days ago refused
to pay $15 per day, and yesterday Mr..
Won Void advocated payment at the
committees figures, saying that the
committee had unanimously agreed to
fix Hines compensation at SIS per day.
Representative Roscnwald baked at
SIS per day, saying that no agreement
had been made with Mr.. Hines, who
agreed to be satisfied with the figure
the committee should fix.
Representative Simons was inclined
to attack Mr.. Hines ability, saying
that he could not find that Hines was
an expert accountant, but, on the other
hand, q merchant. Messrs. Hickey and
Sheppard vehementy resented the i'm
putations made by Mr.. Simons, insist
ing that Mr.. Hines came to the COM
mittee recommended by heads Of lead
ing financial institutions IN st. Paul.

Simons came back at them with a
motion to allow Hines So per day, but
afterwards changed 1t to SO per day,
and his motion was carried by a vote
of 50 to 80. Several members of the
committee are sore over the house ac-
ton, saying that the house required
them TO do the work, and after It's
completion repudiated the committees

Pending an opinion by the attorney

The vote was taken and recorded
as 66 to S8 in favor of the bill. Speak

KILL WILSON BILL.
Railroad Commission Must Work With
Public Examiner,

Judge Wilson's bill to place the ex-
animation of railway books for the
purposes of taxation entirely in the
hands of the railway and warehouse
commission was yesterday indefinitely
postponed by the house.
Judge Wilson made a gallant fight
for the bill, which was designed to re-
move the present friction between the
commission and the public examiner.
He has been confined to his bed for
several days suffering with a poisoned
leg and yesterday limped to his seat
with the aid of a cane, but he pluckily
stood for an hours speech at the morn
ing session and again for a half hour
after recess.
Judge Wilson insisted that his bill
was drawn not as a slap at the public
examiner, but to put the work and the
credit where it belongs. He showed
by certificates of the railway commits
sion and state auditor that the major
portion of the tax collections for which
the public examiner claims credit were
brought about by the commission, and
that under the present system only
friction can be expected.

Representative Cole yesterday got
ms bill designed to secure an equita-
BILE assessment and taxation of cut logs
10 the calendar. and incidentally won
the hardest house fight OF the session.
Mr.. Coles bill provides that all logs
ana timber cut in any county in the
state shall be listed and assessed for
taxation In that county. without ref
erence to residence of the owner or
the place of manufacture or sale. II
also makes 1t the duty of the surveyors
general to return lists of logs scaled
to the auditors of the several counties
IN which the logs We're cut. Boom
companies are prohibited from releas-
ing logs on which taxes are delin-
quent
Mr.. Cole showed how, In one season,
615,OOO,OOO feet of logs floated on the
upper Mississippi escaped taxation,
and how from 200,000,0O0 to 500 600 600
feet escape annually. He insisted that
by the passage of his bill the state will
secure taxes on $1000000O worth OF
property annually which now goes scot
free.
Fought by Hennepin Men.
The opposition came from the Hem
nepin delegation. Many of the lum-
Der barons live in Hennepin county,
and the Hennepin members saw in the
Cole bill a scheme likely to result in
double taxation. Mr.. Gillette de-
nounced the bill as a gross and
damnable injustice" and discrimina-
ton against Hennepin county. Mr..
Shearer also delivered a long speech
in opposition to what he styled a sys-
tenn of double taxation.
Mr.. Cole has worked the entire ses-
sion on his bill, and has secured ths
assistance of some of the best legal
talent of the state in perfecting it.
1t was the fight of his life, and he met
the arguments of the opposition at
every point, but was on the verge of
exhaustion when he at last won, and
his bill was sent to the calendar.

A portion of the house membership
VIII insist that Executive Agent Full
ierton, of the game and fish commits
sion, comply with the request of the
house for an itemized statement of the
receipts from sales of confscated
game, nets, guns, etc.
The members who were instrument
tai In securing the house request think
the executive agent has attempted to
play horse with them and they are dis
posed to fight today if necessary to Sc
cure compliance with a reasonable re-
quest for information to which the
legislature and public have a perfect
right.

olution specifically called, among other
things, for the following statements

apparently not taken seriously, as they
have not been acquiesced in by the

resolution, responded with the printers

Must Furnish Information.
This mass of copy which apparently
answers everything about the doings
of the game and fish commission Of
flee except the questions asked by the
house was referred to the game and
fish committee. Today Chairman Kelly
will send the stuff back to the house
with the recommendation that Fuller
ton be compelled to comply with the
provisions of the Nyquist resolution.
Careful perusal of the sixty pages of
typewriter copy discloses two pages
partially given over to a statement of
receipts from sales of game and furs
for the years 1901 and 1902. The state
ment for 1901 complies with the res
olutiop to the extent of specifically
mentioning the sale of sixteen chick
ems and twelve birds. The receipts
were, according to the comprehensive
statement, $7S6.6S and the expenses in
Cured $1,1S1.15. The number of
seizures is stated as LOO. The state
ment for 1902 shows that L. F. Shaker
paid the commission $45 for two guns,
and j. P. Saunders purchased two deer
heads for S6.85. Several sportsmen
have requested legislators to look up
valuable shooting irons captured by
Wardens, and for two years the news
papers have been running serial stories
of the executive agents game seizures,
sometimes running as high as 500
chickens in one lot.

House Prepares Large Calendar for
Consideration Today.

Consideration Today.
The house yesterday frittered away
two hours before settling down to
business on a general order of seventy
five bills. A disposition to slaughter
accompanied the funny feeling and all
the pending bills amending the pri-
mary election law were laid out.
The speaker who had been an In
terested if somewhat disgusted spec
tator was moved to inject a sharp rep
rimand when a motion for the COM
mittee to rise was made, and as a re-
suit the members settled down to busi-
ness, and in the next hour sent twen-
ty-four bills to the calendar, Indefinite
ly postponed a half dozen and laid fif-
teen over for farther consideration to-
day.
An effort was made to save the An
deregg- Lemon blanket ballot bill and
the Dowling bill providing that cleo
tors shall receive the tickets of all
parties. The house permitted the bills
to be excepted from the committee re-
port, but summarily sat upon motions
to again place them on general orders.
