Superintendent O. B. Hatfield Of
the local public schools has proposed a
plan by which fumigstion in Paducah
can be made what it should be.

officer and the physician who attended

officer or physician to see to the fumi-
CATION, as it might be considered I'M
professional, and a good plan, think,
is to have someone appointed to see to
this work
my idea is to have someone con-
nected with the city hospital to do the
work and have only this especial duty.
When he is not thus employed he can
assist at the hospital and not be q bur
den on the city.
Scarlet fever is disease greatly
feared and seldom leaves the pstient
without some reminder of its visit.
As q general rule fumigstion by the
family Is not what it should be. The
sulphur should be burned in the room
after every crack and'cresioe iIu4 teen
stopped up. The keynote should even
be plugged and the sulphur forced into
every little crack snd crevice where a
germ might lodge. Last season there
was q case of scarlet fever in one fam
lily and after the patient had been dis
charged the house was fumigated.
This season another case developed in
the same house, which goes to show
that the house was not properly fumi.
gated. think IL the city officials will
give this matter due attention that
they can arrange it.snSisisssa to
all and succeed IN Stamping out this
disease entirely. Scarlet fever affects
the school attendance more than any
other disease.
Prof, Hatfield does not wish to have
it thought that he is criticising the
health authorities or physicians, but
merely suggests this as sure plan to
rid the city of scarlet fever and better
the schools.

AN INTERESTING CASE
Mr. R. c. CaIIissi Employs Attorneys
to Sue the City.
Chains His Boarding House Has Been
Unnecessarily Quar-
antined.
QUARANTINE STILL In FORCE

The first case in this section Of the
state to test the liability of city or
community for qusrantining houses
or localities on account of contagious
diseases when there is a disagreement
as to the existence of contagious dis
ease, will be shortly filed in the Nc
Cracker circuit court against the city
of Psducah.
Mr.. r. @. Callissi, of Littleville,
near the Illinois Central passenger de-
pot, has employed Lightfoot & Yonts
to bring suit against the city for the
amount of damages resulting from a
quarantine at his boarding house,
which quarantine has even excluded
him from his home. The suit will
not be brought until the amount of
damages is known, and the amount Of
damages cannot be fully estimated I'M
til the quarantine is removed.
Mr.. Callissi states that his daugh-
ter, Miss Sylvia, is i'll and that Health
Officer Graves and another physician
made call and pronounced the mala-
dy smallpox or varioloid. Mr.. ,Oallissi
says that Drs. Horace Rivers, the ex-
cert, RSddick and Taylor, in addition
to another prominent doctor, called
the same day and all claim that the
disease is neither smallpox nor yario,
ioh. Mr.. Callissi says that he has
been excluded from his own home, his
boarders have been driven away and
his family is isolated by an unneces-
sary quarantine, and he has employed
attorneys to bring suit against the city
because of the quarantine established
by the health officer.
The attorneys, Messrs. Lightfoot
and Yonts, state that they have been
employed, but cannot draw the suit
until the amount of the damages can
be more approximately estimated.
They state that Mr.. Callissi autho-
rized them to hold conference with
the city health authorities, and if the
latter would take down the flag and
remove the quarantine at once he
would say nothing more about it.
Judge Lightfoot conferred with Health
Officer Graves, he states, last night, but
DR.. Graves would not agree to remove
the quarantine, hence the suit will
now be brought.
Judge Lightfoot thinks that resi-
dents Of the county will soon take sim
liar action for quarsntining certain
localities recently, where it is alleged
no smallpox existed

TEMPTED GOODMAN
In Attempt to Secure Rings
Lady's HanS Deeply Cut.
GEMS ARE VALUED AT $500.
The Attack Was Made in Full View
of Scores of Merry-Makers, lnclud-
ing Escort Of Young Woman-Officer
Kept Mob From Injuring Prisoner.

New York. Jan. Henry Goodman,
10 years old, was arrested just before
midnight. charged with having at
tempted to cut off a young woman's
hand to obtain the diamond rings dis
played on her fingers.
The attack was made in full view
of scores of makers, including
the woman's escort.
Miss May Matthews and Miss May
Lewis started out with their escorts
for an automobile ride and later went
to supper. 1t was after IL O'Clock
when the start was made for home.
Soon something went wrong with the
machine, and the two men got down
to examine it. Miss Lewis held a
handbag, which contained small
amount of money. On the fingers of
Miss Matthews left hand glittered
diamonds worth, it is said, fully $1,000.
Suddenly from the crowd sprang a
young man who held in one hand a
knife with a long and exceedingly
keen blade. From Miss Lewis he
grabbed the bag she was carrying and
seizing Miss Matthews by the fin
gers he drew his knife across her
knuckles cutting deep cash. The
young woman shrieked with fright and
pain, and her assailant, without wait
ing to make another effort to sever
her hand, brandished his knife in the
faces of those who sprang to the res
cue and dashed west along Houston
street. After a long chase he was
captured, but did not surrender until
beaten into subjection by a policeman.
The general impression was that an
attempt had been made to murder the
girl, and had it not been for the po-
liceman into whose hands Goodman
fell, he would have Jared badly.
The officer had to fight off the pur-
suers and ct the same time prevent
his prisoner from stabbing him with
the knife, which had been used on
Miss Matthews hand
Goodman was taken, with much
difficulty, to the station house, where
ne said he intended to cut off the

Albany, n Y, Jan. 1.-Governor B.
B. Odell, Jr., was today inaugurated

was an unusually brilliant one, marked
by the presence of many distinguish

a large representation of the national
guard, as well as of crowds of people
from all parts of the state. In his
address Governor Odell said that cap

accord, and that there should be no
legislation which seeks to advance the
interests of one at the expense of an
other, as much discrimination would
inevitably lead to results and condi.
tions which would be menace to the
welfare of the state.
