TOUGH ON
DIVORCES
State Bar Association
Wants Laws Cha nsed

The state bar association now In
session at Put-in-Bay, and which is
being attended by a number of Can
ton attorneys, will recommend some
radical changes in the divorce laws OF
the state, the intention being to make
it more difficult for persons to secure
divorces, prevent the offending party
to divorce suit marrying again and
also to throw greater restrictions about
the issuing of marriage licenses.
Judge e. B. Dillon who is on the
common pleas bench at Columbus, has
a set of resolutions which he will in
troduce and ask to have adopted, which
in part are as follows:
Be 1t resolved by the ONO state bar
association that the president within
sixty days appoint a committee OF five
members of this association, which
committee shall prepare and propose

WHOLE TOWN EXPOSED
Case Of Black Diphtheria Is sMistaken
for Blood Poisoning Disastrous
Results Feared.
New York Sun Special Service.

Elgin, Dec. Thru improper
diagnosis made by physicians at Bart
lett, a town eight miles southeast of
Elgin, the entire community has
been exposed to black diphtheria. The
doctors and health officials are MAX
ing strenuous efforts to prevent
spread Of the disease by administering
preventives to the entire population.
Lulu. the 11-year-old daughter of
Mrs. e. w. Miller, was taken Ill sew
eral days ago, and the doctor who at
tended her diagnosed the ailment as
blood poisoning. At the death Of the
child DR.. Starrett Of Elgin was called
for post mortem examination. He
pronounced the disease black diph-
iberia, but to corroborate his views
sent portion of the mem brane to a
laboratory in Chicago. The analysis
confirmed DR.. Starrett's statement.
While the case was supposed to be
blood poisoning both Mr.. and Mrs
Miller and the other children in the
family circulated among the towns
people and attended social gatherings
Many callers also were at the house
during the child's illness and the Mil
5ler children attended the public
school.

PULL OUT OF ONTARIO
Iron Ore searchers Stop Exploration
and Development North of
the Line.
Special to The Journal.

Port Arthur, Ont, Dec. 1.-THE
Canadian Northern road has stopped
all exploration it had been conducting
for year and more on the Atikokan
range, north from Minnesota. 1t is
understood that, while ore was. found.
it was not Of a character to warrant
further exploration. -
There is now very little work going
on in western Ontario. All that had
been done around the Nepigon has
been stopped. Near Steep Rock lake
the drills are off. The United States
Steel corporation is thru west Of Lake
Superior. OF course the Consolidated
Lake Superior company is doing moth
ing, either on the Michipicoten range
or elsewhere.
NJ. A. Hanna and Pickands, Mather
& Co., who have been working until
quite recently on Hunters island and
west Of Port Arthur, have pulled out.
Duluth men who spent a large sum
near Atikokan are thru for the pres
ent. The Atikokan Iron company, a
Duluth concern, is idle. In fact, the
entire Ontario region north and west
of Lake Superior is abandoned, tenn
porarily at least, by iron ore men.
