SPOTTED FEVER;
|S|T CONTAGIOUS?
Subject is to be Discussed by
Meeting OF Salt Lake
Physicians.
A DIVISION or OPINION.
The Claim Of Specialists Is That The
Disease Is Not Contagious in
Character,

There has been no little alarm in
this city the past week or ten days over
the presence IN this locality of cere-
bro-spinal meningitis with its attend
ant fatalities. The health authorities
OF the municipality and state hold that
II is highly contagious. But is Il?
IL is reported that II Is TO be made
the subject of discussion at the next
meeting OF the Salt Lake Medical so
ciety. Some Of its members will take
the ground that the disease, dreadful
and tear-linspiring as II IL, Is not con-
tagious. II is held that persons. even
IN poor health, may move about In the
sick rooms where IL Is, without dam
ger.
II Is pointed out I'm confederation OF
this claim that In not single instance
so far as reported has there been more
than one case In a family. Nor where
the patients have been taken to the
hospitals have others contracted the
disease. II Is contended that IN New
York last year cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts cases were conveyed to the hos
pitfalls daily and that Il was never
regarded as contagious.
TO one physician who made this
statement and who quoted the very
recent words of renowned specialists
that the malady was not contagious,
the News" propounded the question
as to why the cases We're excluded
from the Salt Lake hospitals, and he
replied. AS a matter of precaution,
and-more than anything else-to allay
public fear. My Judgment tells me
that the disease is not contagious"
If this Is true, then there has been
a vast amount OF needless alarm and
precaution IN the matter Of conduct
ing public funerals, and In deprivlng
from even beholdlng the feat
urcs of their dead through the glass Of
n sealed casket. However the au-
thorities will doubtless justify Thorn
selves In the claim, and il will be
looked upon as good and sound, that un-
al they do know more about the nature
and the effects OF the disease that every
possible precaution be taken against its
spread.
In the meantime II will be interesting
10 learn of the discussion and decision
of the Salt Lake Medical society with
reference 10 Il.

San Francisco, May 1.-THE losses

r..blnrton, ID. c., May l6.--The
.u,lttee on privileges and elections

,a.,,lon Of the right OF Senator Reed

Vi. seat on Friday next.

WHAT INQUIRY HAS COST.
10 10 the present time the total ex-
,,,.e OF the Inquiry has been between
,,sOdO and $4,000. That sum, how
,r,r, does not include the printing OF
NIs nor the attorney fees paid by
IN, protestants or Senator Smoot him
self As II is understood, ex-senator
Carlisle received fee of $4,000. and
u.Congressman Tayler a like amount.
II is safe TO assert that the total cost
Of the inquiry 10 all parties concerned
will approximate between $4,000 and
$1,000
WILL BE NO EXCLUSION.
As to the outcome only one thing Is
certain. and that Is that the report
Of the committee VIII not recommend
The exclusion of Mr. Smoot Senator
Burrows, chairman Of the committee,
and Senator Dubois, the most active
opponent Of the "Mormons," favor the
adoptlon Of an exclusion report
That Is, they hold that II Is within the
power Of the senate TO declare the seat
yacant BY majority vote. To cxpe
would require two-thirds. Not suffi-
Gent number Of senators are willing to
support the Rurrows-Dubois plan for
the very good reason that the estab-
lshment OF such a precedent might
lead 10 the arbitrary use ~ power BY
! a majority when the senate is nearly
equally divided politically.
MAJORITY SPECULATION.
II IL generally believed that Il viii
be impossible 10 secure the votes OF
sixty senators TO eSpel Mr.. Smoot. In
deed there is a growing belief that not
even majority can be depended upon
10 so vote. Mr.. Smoot has made many
friends since he first took his seat
three years ago. He IL a gentleman
OF afability and integrity. who has
done more for Utah than any one of
ms predecessors since the state was
admitted. Even his worst enemies do
not claim that he is not a man of high
moral character, but he is a Mormon"
and that Is enough to damn him In
some quarters, There are In Congress
To-Day Jews, Quakers, Catholics, several
denominations Of protestants and two
members Of the Mormon" Church. But
Inc religious affiliations of none of
them are considered reasons for dis
qualification except in the case Of Sem
a'or smoot, and the indications are
mat he viii be permitted to serve out
his term.
