Commissioner mcfarland yesterday

Wyman for this investigation the Com

the causes for the local typhoid fever

This" said Mr. Macfarland. has not

especially as TO their relation 10 the

conclusion Of the Investigation which
Surgeon General Wyman states is TO he

indicated as to the water supply is TO
close the public wells. This I shall at

IN reference to the milk supply, to

TOWN BUYS
WOMAN A HAT
CITY ATTORNEY OF INDIANAPo.
LIS FoREsTALLED A DAM
AGE SUIT.

The city OF Indianapolis. as a mu-
nicipal corporation, bought a woman
a hat the other day.
Merely for convenience she may
be called Mrs. Smith, because for the
sake of her feelings James Peirce.
the assistant city attorney. who made
the deal, would not divulge her
name.
A contractor who was at work on
a street Improvement left some
bricks in the street. Mrs. Smith.
with her husband. was on her way
to the theater. and as luck would
have it she stumbled over those
bricks and fell quite heavily.
Her husband helped her to her
feet and half carried her back home.
The next day a report OF the aGci-
dent reached the Office OF the city
attorney. No claim had been filed
for damages. but the lawyers who
look after the city's legal business
believed there would be one. SO
Peirce decided to see Mrs. Smith.
That noon. which was the first of
last week, Pierce hurried out to the
North Side fiat, where the woman
and her husband and her mother
live. The young woman came to the
door. He was ushered in and. after
being informed that the woman be
fore him was Mrs Smith. he began
20 talk.
Mrs. Smith did not want to &c
to court. She did not want to sue
the city and have all the papers say
! that she stumbled and rolled ovei
and over in the street. She did no
want to face a judge and jury anc
have a dozen lawyers firing ques
lions at her.

IMMIGRAT BILL
IS NOW A LAW.
PRESIDENT SIGNS THE
NEW ACT.
A COMMISSION PROVIDED FOR
TO CONSIDER THE WHOLE
SUBJECT OF IMMI-
GRAFTON.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The Presi-
ident has signed the Immigration
bill.
The bill makes provision for a
commission Of nine persons TO make
q thorough investigation OF the
whole immigration question. Three
OF these commissioners are to be APP
pointed by the President and three
each by the Vive-President ana
Speaker. Already there are a num-
Der OF applications on file for these
positions. 1t is announced that the
President will not place on the COM
mission any person holding extreme
views on immigration.
The effect OF Section AZ of the
act is an increase after January l,
1903. of nearly % per cent. in the
minimum space allowed for each
steerage passenger on ocean steam
ers coming from Europe, Asia, Az
rica, Australia and South America
On the decks where steerage pas.
sengers are mainly carried the law
OF 1882 requires that there shall be
100 cubic feet OF space for each
passenger AS the height between
decks is usually about Z feet the
deck or DOOR space allowed is thus
IA square feet. The new law I'm.
creases this area TO Is square feet
The legislation in effect follows the
developments in modern ocean steam
ship building.
Generally speaking, the passenger
steamers from Northern Europe dc
not carry any more passengers in the
steerage than will be permitted az
ter 1909 under the new legislation
The bill will apply chiefly to steam
ers from the Mediterranean. which
already carry at times nearly theiI
full legal capacity and must two
years hence either carry fewer pas
sengers or increase their accomoda
lions. or Sc steamships arriving al
New York with steerage passenger,
