FEAR AN EPIDEMIC
Physicians Alarmed Over a Dis
ease of the Eyes.

Fearing an epidemic Of trachoma, an in
fectious disease of the eyes, the Ramsey
County Medical association at a meeting
last evening passed a resolution suggest
ing to the school board that all children
affected with the disease be prohibited
from attending school, A committee of
three, consisting of DR.. Cornelius Will
liams, who fathered the resolution; Dr. o.
w. Archibald and DIR. Gustav REM was
appointed to confer with the school board
in reference to the matter.
Much Importance was attached by the
physicians present at last nights meet
ing to the prevention of the disease
which was characterized as extremely
dangerous, as it is said to be peculiarly
disease entails permanent injury to the
eyesight of its victims. and that children
are especially liable TO suffer from it's
effects. 1t is said to be incurable.
The United States government enforces
stringent regulations against the admis-
sion of emigrants affected with the
disease. The regulations were promulgated
two years ago, when physicians through
out the country and in New York noted
pronounced increase in the number of
cases of trachoma. 1t is said that the
disease has been brought into this country
by emigrants from Southeastern Europe.
Atmospheric conditions in that section of
the globe are said to be- in a measure,
responsible for the disease.
The symptoms of the disease are in
hammation of the eyes, causing gathering
quent cases have come to the attention of
st. Paul physicians, and they resolved
last night to make an effort to check it's
increase.

WANT new BRIDGE
Advocates Would Have 1t Span
River Below Union Depot.

Advocates of another bridge across the
Mississippi river. either at Jackson street
or Commercial street just below the union
depot yards, will make a strong effort to
get their fingers on the next $500 900 worth
of Improvement bonds that the city issues.
Under law passed by the last legis-
lature st. Paul is empowered to issue
over period of three years. OF the
amount 100000 was issued a few weeks
ago and the next installment will be due
next year.
For the past two years the need of an
other bridge across the Mississippi river
has been urged. but the absence of any
way of getting the money with which to
construct 1t prevented any serious con-
Slderation of the project. Now that the
city is empowered to issue bonds, those
who have been advocating the bridge think
they see way out of the difficulty and
will make a strong effort to get a part
II not all. at the next issue. The West
Side will stand by the proposition almost
to voter and as for the other side of the
river, there are many interests that would
undoubtedly give the bridge their support
The cost would not be far short of $500, 000
City Bridge Engineer Edmundstone says
he would advocate a structure of the jack
knife pattern. 1t does not call for such
costly approaches as the other kind and
would be a trifle cheaper
There was a rumor week ago that adj
vocates of the new bridge would appear
before the conference committee when it
meets to make up the budget for the pur-
pose Of advocating an appropriation Of at
next year by a similar appropriation,
which, with the 100000 worth of bonds
that the city will issue, would be ample
as a starter.

This resolution was offered by AS

city," said Van Slyke in explanation,

Nearly twenty-five applications for

all of them until the required 81 900

Rosen demurred on the ground that the
parties were not aware of the new
rule and they were finally approved.
The meeting of the committee was a
spirited one and was replete with ac-
cusations, counter accusations and de-

off and made statements of saloons be-

WILL CONTINUE
TESTS OF BUTTER
Dairy Commission Offers to
Conduct Monthly Compete
ton if Dairymen Wish.

Educational butter contests for the
dairymen of this state will be resumed
if sufficient interest in the project is
shown by the dairymen. The question
has been put up to them by the state
dairy and food commission, and their
verdict will decide. On this subject, B.
D. White, dairy inspector for the de-
partment, said.dtyesterday to
Globe:
1--WE have received a large number of
inquiries from buttermakers and dairy
men as to when we intend to hold an
other state contest, and many of them
have expressed themselves in favor of
the idea. We are convinced that ma
jority would like to have the contests
resumed and regularly established, but
before taking steps to that end Com
just how far he could count upon the
dairymen for support. He has issued
circular calling for reply from each
one as to whether he faVorS the plan
and will participate in the competition.
eff the contests are resumed-and we
fully believe they will bet is our in
tention to go more fully into the detail
of butter making than ever before.
The instruction afforded to the partici-
pants in the contest will not stop with
mere criticism of the samples offered
in competition and suggestions as to
the correction of imperfectionS that
may be evident in the finished product
When it is found that the product of a
creamery is not up to grade an in
spectator of this, will be sent out to make
a thorough examination of that cream
cry and find out what is the trouble.
Thus the buttermakers who need 1t will
be given an opportunity to profit by
the knowledge and experience of our
inspectors and improvement in the
standard of butter throughout the state
is bound to result"

GRAVEL TOO COSTLY
Order to Macadamize Summit
Avenue May Be introduced.

The scheme to gravel Summit ave-
nue., from Dale street to the river, pro-
life of much discussion when indorsed
by the council last spring, will likely
find grave with others of it's class.
Since the receipt of an estimate from
City Engineer Rundlett showing that
the cost of crawling, instead of SO
cents running foot, would be nearer
Sl.5O foot. the board of public works
has given the improvement no further
attention. If taken up at all it will be
when all the other work now on hand
is cleaned up.
In view of the fact that the scheme
of crawling the street is not a feasible
one from the standpoint of cheapness,
1t is likely that an order will be shortly
introduced in the council calling for
either the paving or matchmaking of
the street.
Whether the street shall be improved
or not lies solely in the hands of the
board of public works, and If it does
not approve of the gravel scheme, that
will settle 1T. An adverse report is ex-
pected

SAvARO TO RESIGN
Secretary of School Board Can
not Be a Member of 1t.


Octave Savard, newly elected secre-
tary of the school board. said yesterday
to The Globe that he intended to
send his resignation as a member of the
board to Mayor Smith today
Mr.. Savard's resignation from the board
is necessary before he can enter officially
upon his duties as secretary, as the char
ter provision creating the board of school
inspectors provides that no member shall
hold any office by appointment of the
board.
Mr.. Savard's appointment will become
effective Oct. 1. but in the meantime he
is performing the work of the secretary's
office partly to familiarize himself with
it and partly for the reason that the
resignation of the former secretary be-
came effective more than ten days ago.
1t is expected that the vacancy in the
board which will be caused by the res
ignation of Mr.. Savard viii be filed at
once by Mayor Smith, as the next regular
meeting of the board will take place
Wednesday of next week.

ASK MORE SPACE
FOR SCHOOL EXHIBIT
Worlds Fair Management Urged to
Give Minnesota 10000 Square Feet.

Supt Smith, of the city educational
department, said yesterday that the
school work for the exhibit at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition is we'll
under way.
The material for the exhibit, which
will consist of the achievements of the
pupils, in drawing and manual train
ing, will be taken from the regular
school work, the only special provision
being in the line of little better grade
of supplies than it has been customary
to use.
The original allotment of space for
the school exhibit of the entire state
was 5000 square feet, and an appeal
has been made to the management to
double that, for it is estimated that the
high schools of st. Paul will want not
less than 1900 square feet for their
work. Charles S. Mitchell, who is gem
eral superintendent for the state COM
mission, has promised to use his inf1u-
ence to secure the addition space de-
sired.
