chance of being selected as headquarters
and the official home of the bishop, in
the event that the Milwaukee diocese is
divided and a new diocese created in
the western part of the state, is the opin-

The division of the diocese and the
location of the bishop depends upon the
raising of an endowment fund of from
$4,000 to $4,000, and it is believed this

Blame for Chicago Epidemic Fixed Oh
Sanitation Negligence at Source
of Milk.

CHICAGO. H., Jan 2G.-ShocNing
conditions 1t Genoa Junction. Wis, and
vicinity, where an epidemic of scarlet
fever is raging and whence carloads of
milk are shipped daily to Chicago, were
reported yesterday by Health Officer
Merritt Il. Craven of Evanston, and led
Health Commissioner Parkes of that
suburb TO declare that the situation was
due TO criminal carelessness.
Twenty cases Of scarlet fever, in
Guiding 4 number in families which have
been supplying milk to the Borden Milk
company, two employees of that concern
Ill of the malady and members of the
family OF driver who has been hauling
milk from the depot to condenSing
plant also suffering from the feyer-such
was the discovery of DIR. Craven. accord
ing to his report.
All Milk to Chicago.
Last Wednesday DIR. Parkes received a
letter from resident of Genoa Junction
who gave him the names Of twenty suf-
1erIng from the disease, and he imme
dlateIy directed DR.. Craven to make Il
thorough inquiry.
For some tivIe FIVE carloads of milk
have been shipped daily from Genoa
junction, but recently this amount has
been cut down to three carloads. As
milk from there since the scarlet fever
epidemic broke out it is believed that the
three carloads have been shipped directly
to Chicago.
One of the most startling revelations in
DR.. CraYenS report is the announcement
that quarantine regulations and precau-
tons were ignored at Genoa Junction I'M
til a short time ago, when the epidemic
IN Chicago and suburbs became wide
spread.
Quarantine Ignored.
According to DR.. Craven. the two en-
ployes of the Borden company now i'll of
scarlet fever ere boys named Miller and
Meyers, and were at work in the CON
Germs bottlIng works when taken sick
January 16 last carload of milk was
received in Evanston which was believed
to have come from Genoa Junction. and
its delivery was ordered stopped until an
! investigation could be made.
A representative of the Borden com
pany at Genoa Junction was communi-
Gated with and a statement received
from him that the car was shipped the
day before from Hebron, Wis. and that
it was stopped at Genoa Junction only
long enough for a quantity of condensed
milk to be placed aboard
DR.. Craven asserts that upon inquiry
he was unable to learn that the car de-
scribed had been shipped from Hebron
on that date, and it is now believed it
! came from the other town.
