HAVE CASE
EXPEDITED

B~rattleboro. VT, Sept. 15.-Sheriff Henry
Peck OF Windsor county and Superintend-
ent William S. Lowell OF the Vermont
state prison, announced today that At
torney General Clark c.. F1tte would file
a motion with the United States&supreme
court today asking that the case OF Mary
N. Rogers. convicted of the murder OF her
husband, be set ahead for a hearing at
the earliest convenience of the justices.
Mary Rogers case was carried TO the
supreme court on a writ OF habeas corpus
and the allegation that the woman's con-
stitutional rights had been violated.
The arguments in the motion fled today
state that the petitioners present no fed
eral question and that the due course OF
Justice In the state of Vermont requires
vat the case be disposed Of at the earliest
possible time.
it is further stated that under the con-
sttution Of the state further reprieve by
the governor is doubtful and that under
the state statutes no new sentence Of
death can be imposed to take effect until
after the first day Of January. 1907. and
therefore II this case is not heard and
disposed of before Dec. 8, 1905, there must
result long delay in carrying out the pen
atty imposed by the law for the crime for
which the appellant stands convicted.

IS BOOMING

The physicians OF the health department
of Providence who do v%accinating are
having a busy time OF It these days. and
particularly on Friday afternoons, FOR
that is the Friday for the public at the
Fourth wardroom in the Central police
station. Commencing about noon the
mothers and children arrive and their
ages range in the foreign born from about
two years TO six or eight. They come with
all sizes except the working size. includ-
Ing babes in arms. and get the spot put
on all together.
Realizing that the children cannot 60

The city health department. which Ia

for complaint with the city's bovine

Once a child died within two weeks OF
vaccination. and the mother felt quite

DIR. King on investigation found that the
child had died OF pneumonia, which ex-
ploded that story.
HOW 1T Is DONE.
Even In the old days when Dr. Frost
was health officer his vaccination was
conspicuously successful and free from
painful results, while all around the
vaccination caused very sore arms when
bovine vaccine was first used.
The methods used by the city yaccina-
ton officers are first TO wash the arms In
soap anu water. whether they need Il or
not. This sometimes makes the mothers
quite indignant. as they protest the child
Is clean.
That IL not the point. all must get II
alike. a thorough wash OF tho arm. fol-
