State Board Of Health
Urges Cooperation.in
's4 Checking Disease.

The clerk Of the Canton school
board has received communication
from the state beard of health asking
the formers cooperation in enforcing
vaccination Of the school children.
The board is urgently recommended
to provide for the enforcement of the
law without delay, and the state
board suggests that joint meeting Of
the Canton school board and board Of
health be called.
The letter of Secretary Probst
states that smallpox now prevails to
an alarming extent and since it's ap-
pearance In Ohio more than 10000
cases have been reported. In 1902
there were 345 deaths of 5,646 cases.
During the months of January and
February Of this year 1,478 cases have
been reported with "a deaths.
That vaccination will protect
against smallpox is conclusiyely
shown, 1t says, by the experience OF
tho Chicago schools where 1t is COM
pulsory upon all pupils. When Sc
we're epidemic prevailed in 1894-95 and
there were more than 1000 deaths on
ly seven cases occurred among the
100000 school children and the pupils
affected were In school on false certi-
ficates.
AS no smallpox exists in Canton
now, no special board meeting will
be held. ~.

Prosecution for Non.

Hermann Mirre, who was found
guilty OF the charge Of non-support of
minor illegitimate child, was grant
ed new trial by Judge Amber Fri
day morning. The ground upon whi; h
new trial was granted was purely
technical and does not bear upon his
guilt. The indictment failed to show
that the Fairmount home was DIS
trict children's home, as required by
the statute, and this was deemed suf-
ficient to set aside the verdict and or
der a new trial. A motion to arrest
judgment was also disposed Of by the
granting of the rehearing.
Mirre has been in the courts for
years, the child in question being re-
sponsible for his troubles. He was
tried before justice on a paternity
charge and found guilty. The case
was carried to the common pleas
court and he. was indicted by the
grand jury. On the hearing he was
declared to be the father OF the in
FAINT Later the child was placed in

Violent Alterations O.

Won Voltmar Bitterly Ar
raigns the Leadership
Of Herr Bebel.

DRESDEN, Sept. 1S.-At to-day's session
of the Socialist Congress Her Won Volt
mar spoke for four hours in reply to Herr
Bebel The essence of his discourse was
that there was no crisis in the party ex-
cept a personal crisis, Herr Bebel seeing
with grief his leadership in Parliament
threatened Herr Bebel, the speaker
added. spoke to the congress as Cromwell
spoke to Parliament and exercised the
right to judge and condemn motives. He
desired to convert the party into a church,
with himself as supreme pontiff.
As fifty-five delegates have given no
tice Of their intention to speak, it is prob
able that the congress will sit through
nxet week
Toward evening the congress was the
scene of violent alterations between the
various deputies interested in the election
of the executive committee Of the party.
For a full hour gross personalities were
INDUCED in.
Prior to adjournment Herr Singer, who
presided and at whose table throughout
the session sat three police officials, an
nounced that he had received infOrma-
ton that the numerous detectives in the
hall were trying to entice delegates and
others into compromising conversations.
He therefore warned his comrades to be
extremely careful what they said. De
tectives are posted in all parts of the
town, and show particular interest in the
foreign journalists who are in Dresden
for the Socialist congress.
