SMALLPOX INVADES
THIS LITTLE HOME
Three Children Have 1t and Mother
Is Threatened With
Disease.

Ever since June IA smallpox has pre-
street northeast.
Inspectors from the Health Depart
ment discovered what threatens to be
a new case of smallpox in at least one
member of the family at that address.
Those now down with the disease are
Henry Herrell, nine years old. John
Herrell, twelve years old, and Pauline
Herrell fourteen years old. Their moth
er, Mrs. Carrie Herrell. is under obser-
vation and 1t Is feared she has con-
tracted smallpox
The situation is most di1scult one for
the Health Department because other
members of the family refuse to allow
the sufferers to be taken to the small
pox hospital, refuse to be vaccinated
themselves or to go to the quarantine
station.
Guards have been placed at the front
and rear of the Herrell home to prevent
entrance of egress.
There is a law which makes vaccina-
tion compulsory, and this will be en-
forced against the unaffected members
OF the Herrell family, and despite their
protest this afternoon.
According to the report OF the Health
Department, seven-year-old Henry Her
rell was the first TO contract the small
pox, he bein stricken on June IA Pau.
line Herrell was taken sick on June q
and John Hereli on the 18th.
Two physicians were called In between
June IA and June 25 and each pronounc.
ed the cases chickenpox.
The Herrell children were pupils a
the Webster Public School, but thu
Health Department reports that the,
had not attended their classes for
week prior to the first appearance o
smallpox in the family.

The Keep commission Investigating the
Lanston contract at the Government
Printing Office has taken an adjourn
ment until Monday, principally to. digest
the large amount of evidence taken in
the past two days.
The time will also afford opportunity
to consider Special Report No. 81
which Is the title of the report made to
the Public Printer by the committee
composed Of A P Marston. now dead
Chief Engineer w. H. Tapley, and Au-
ditor E. T. Bushnell, recommending the
Lanston machine. This report was made
on June IA. and Public Printer Palmer
signed the contract for seventy-t two
Lanston machines on June 10.
Ignored Good Witness.
One of the interesting developments
by the commission In this connection was
the discovery that this committee OF
three employees had not sought the ad-
vice Of Foreman L. c. Hay. Of the job
division, who has under his supervision
seven Mergenthaler machines. He was
therefore called by the commission late
yesterday afternoon and gave interest
ing testimony. He viii continue on the
stand when the commission reconvenes
on Monday
Another interesting witness yesterday
was Foreman John R. Berg. of the
Record division, VINO has thirty-fiva
Mergenthalers under his care. Berg is
president of the Columbia Topographic
cal Union. He said he had bought 100
shares of Lanston last fall at and sold
them at 13 He told the commission
about the h,ergenthaler work In setting
three weeks of the late session 1t cost
so cents per 1000 ems, he said. as COM
pared with $1.34 the preceding year for
hand composition. His testimony was
strong for the good work done by the
Mergenthalers.
Two Witnesses Recalled
Albert Cottle. foreman of the fifth di.
vision. and Chief Engineer Tapley were
recalled for the purpose Of explaining
certain statements they previously made
on the stand that seemed to require
further elucidation. This was more par
ticularly to inform the commission
how they had arrived at certain con-
clusions in special report No. 5, the de-
tails of which are now being vigorously
assailed by the Mergenthaier attorneys
, Foreman Cottle has several of the
Lanston machines under his supervision
and has been known as one of their
strongest advocates. A witness stated
on the stand a few days ego that Mr.
Cottle had strongly urged him to re-
tain some Lanston stock he owned,
claiming that there were strong reasons
to believe that conditions would soon
arise that would send the stock sky
ward. This conversation occurred be-
fore 1t was made known that the Pub
lie Printer had placed an order for adj
ditional machines. Cottle yesterday was
asked fully about this conversation. as
well as his visits to the home of Maury
Dove, president OF the Lanston Com
papy, In company with other officials
of the Government Printing Office.
Cottle claimed TO have secured very
satisfactory results from the operation
of the Lanston machines under his SUI
pervision. and he presented statements
TO demonstrate his ciains. Here again

Samples of Work Shown.
Foreman Hay presented for the con-
sideration of the committee q great va
riety of work, intricate and otherwise,
that had been executed by the Mergen-
thaler mHcnines located in his division.
He is. firm believer in the capabilities
and the utility of the Mergenthaler ma
chimes, having tried them out on the va
| rious kinds of book and job composition
done In his division He presented sam
pies of certain work that had been done
on his machines that he claimed would
be an exceedingly difficult task for any
other make of machine to accomplish
! Hay also told the commission that
| he had q practical demonstration in
support of the economy claimed for
his machines in the fact that his di-
vision shows a net reduction of twenty
| three men. about one-fourth Of his
original force, since the installation of

i fall, and that the volume of work now
being done was fully equal to the
amount turned out while the larger
force was employed

prove star witness. His testimony

Cup to Their Ears
| The duration of the investigation is
| largely problematical, but it is thought
that end is not yet in sight. A men,
| her of the eKep commission is quoted
as saying that the committee were now
| up to their ears IL the investigation, and
| that all It's different phases must be
! thoroughly sifted out before final ad-
tcurnment is taken
| Hay was given a cop Of special re-
| port No S, and requested to analyze
| 1t and report his conclusions when the
| commission reassembies on Monday
morning. 1t was brought out in the tes-
| timony tat the committee responsible
| for special report No. 5 had not visited
| the job division of the o1sce for the pur-
post of inspecting the machines and OBJ
/ serving their operation, now had they
called Hay before them, as they did
other division foremen. He was asked,
/ however. to submit a written report. and
! 1t was filed with the reports submitted
| by the other foremen Of machine di-
visions.
Foreman Hay will again go on the
stand Monday morning, and It is eX-
pected that the entire day will be oc-
| cupied In hearing his testimony 1t is
known that he has complete records OF
machine composition done in his di-
vision. as well as a number of interest
ling comparative statements that will
occupy the commission somo time.

unlikely that something will be heard re-

the distribution of rights to the stock
holders of the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific. Great Northern Is sell
ing about 500 a share higher than
year ago, and as Z per cent stock 1t
Is selling very much higher than the
return warrants. Its present price may
be taken to discount u very handsome
distribution to the stockholders. North
ern Pacific, on the other hand, is not
selling at an excessive price, when II
Is considered that under the Hill man
agement its per cent dividend is as
well assured as any railway dividend In
the West. II Northern Pacific is to share
with Great Northern in the Forthcoming ng
melon, it would seem that there is
room for a considerable appreciation in
its market value. The buying of the
stock recently. while st has been of in
considerable volume. mas been largely
for friends of Mr.. Hill, who believe with
MIN that the stock 1s worth much more

tleship knaiz Potemkine, King Charles
Of Roumania having sent instructions
10 the commander of the Roumanian

kline, however, left for Odessa without
surrendering, declaring that she had
not mutinied, but that the kniaz Potem.
kline had forced her to follow.

changing the customary salutes intl-
mated that he had come to arrange for
