A LEGAL
 BATTLE Will Soon be Fought
 Here The Question of Compul- sorry Vaccination Must Soon be Settled The Wat erville Injunction Will Stand for Some Time.

City Attorney Kellogg stated to-day that Waterbury will soon be the battle ground on which the fight for and against compulsory vaccination in the public schools will be fought out. The injunction which was issued by Judge Cowell a few days ago in the case of the little Tullar girl of Waterville was applied for mainly at the instance of City Attorney Kellogg, who is anxious to have this matter decided one way or the other once and for all time. And accordingly Attorney Phelan asked for the injunction, There is no law on the matter in this state.
 But for the great pressure of city business now pending before the SUI perior court and tne desire to have some Of it at least tried, MT kellogg would have filed motion for the dis solution of the injunction and nus make the second step toward settling the issue Until this pressure of city business is somewhat relieved 1t will be impossible for him to tackle ,o 'n- junction, but he said to-day that he will endeavOr to have it ready for the June term of the supreme court.
 Meanwhile the Tullar child is attend ing the SpragIle school in Waterville. and the mandate set forth In the in Junction that she be given instruction is being Obeyed. No attempt will be made to violate the order of court, and no other step will be taken to compli7 cate the affair.
 This matter of compulsory vaccina- tion is a bone of contention in many parts of the country and the decision of the supreme court will be awaited with much interest
