MAY Be HIS DEATH BED.
HIGGINS is VERY SICK
Little Hope Entertained for the Life of
New York's Ex-Governor, and Fam
lily Is Gathered at His Bedside.

Olean, \. Y, Jan. 21.-Former Gov
ernor Higgins lies at his home at tbe
point of death He has taken no
nourishment for many hours and his
strength is fast going. That he has
retained a hold on life this long is
puzzling TO his physicians. On Sun
day he rallied somewhat and was able
to recognize the members of his fam
lily and his secretary, Allen 3. VII
liams, for a moment, but shortly re-
lapsed into drowsy state which has
marked his illness for several days.
His heart is not strong enough to
stand stimulation and the inevitable
has come, inability to take nourish
ment.
President Roosevelt has asked to be
kept advised as to the governors con
dition. All members of the family
are here, except Mr.. H. l.. Higgins,
who recently returned to California
and whose health is such that he has
been advised not to take the hasty
trip.

SCARLET FEVER IN
ANOTHER BUILDING
Disease Discovered in White
water School and Three
Grades Are Closed.
DR.. BOND Is CRITICISED
PARENTS ASSERT THAT HE is
PERMITTING SAME CONDITIONS
WHICH ALLOWED THE MEAS
LES TO SPREAD.

As the result of the rapid spread
of scarlet fever six rooms have now
been closed in the Richmond schools,
three having been closed last week at
the Starr school, while yesterday
three were closed at the Whitewater
school. The closing of the rooms at
the Whitewater school was the direct
result of the discovery that members
of the family of Thomas Faucet were
attending the school. although Man
ford Faucet one of the children was
suffering with the dreaded disease.
No effort was made to keep the child
ren away from the school before yes
terday.
Only three rooms of the school
have been closed although it is known
that the Faucet children have been
associating with children in other
grades of the school. The school will
be allowed to remain open, until it is
established by the spread of the dis
ease or otherwise that it is dangerous
to keep the remainder of the school
open any longer.
Ouarahtines have been placed over
the homes wherein scarlet fever is
holding forth, but Notwithstanding
contrary reports many of the homes
which have been directly exposed to
the disease are still free from quaran-
tine. According TO the statement of
DR. Charles S. Bond, the city health
officer last night five homes in this
city have been auarantined while sew
en- cases of scarlet fever are reported
in these.
Parents Express Themselves.
The parents of the children living
in the affected districts claim that
all homes where the children have
been exposed should be placed under
rigid quarantine, where at the pre-
sent time they are free from such,
in the majority of cases AS the ex-
posure to the disease have been so
many, some are inclined to think
that both the Starr schools and the
Whitewater school should be closed
entirely. to await the development of
the disease, as many of the children
in close contact with members of the
families wherein the disease is rum
ming its course.
Eight days are required before the
symptoms of milder attacks of the
fever make their appearance, while
the more violent cases appear within
four to six days 1t will require this
length of time before any of the per-
sons exposed, will be free from fear.
Many parents say that they do not
want to suffer or be participants in
another auideO1ic CI1ch &c tho raoapf
measles plague and say they will keep
their children within doors until the
schools are closed in their entirely or
the affected districts are freed from
the disease.

MAIN ST. STORE ENTERED
NOTHING is YET MISSING
Evidences of Burglars at the "Nip-
pon," But the Owners Say They
Don't Think Anything Was Taken
Occurred Early in Evening.

Although as yet no loss has been
discovered, S. Morita, the proprietor
of the Nippon, the Japanese auction
store on Main street, feels confident
that some person or persuss entered
his store Sunday night and made their
get away" with a quantity of goods.
On that night, at about nine o'clock,
James Griffin, proprietor of the store
room in which the auction is being
held, passed by the store and noticed
that all was not well, as the light,
which is always left burning at the
close of the nights business, was not
lighted as usual and he went imme di-
ately to the Westcott hotel, where Mr..
Morita is stopping, and told him of the
conditions.
The two then examined the store
room and found that rear door had
been forced, but no other evident
signs of theft were apparent. The
matter was reported to the police.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. q. <Spl.l-
In the house this afternoon Represent
ative Fitch, of Muncie, introduced a
bill which, if enacted into law, would

The principal section of the bill reads

Under the act of 1905, the same Sec

Fitch that will assure the people just

Council SuStainS the Board of
Works in Letting Them
Answer Thursday.
THE HAULING OF FREIGHT
COUNCILMAN DEUkER AND At
TORNEY STUDY WARN OFF.
GALS AGAINST ACCEPTING "a
LEMON" FROM TRACTION LINES,

There was not a great amount or
atmospheric disturbing oratory at
the meeting of the city law makers
last night, and the business that came
before that body was disposed of in
rather short order. One of the most
important matters that came up for
consideration was a communication
from the board of works asking for
temporary suspension of the en-
forcement of provisions of the ordin-
ance, recently passed, prohibiting tho
hauling of freight by the interurban
lines along Main street The request
OF the board was that the provisions
of the ordinance be not enforced
until next Thursday evening.
The purpose of this request" said
the communication. is to enable the
interurban authorities to have addi-
uonal time in which to make'a final
decision as to whether they will APP
ply for franchise from this city. or
have and join issue with the city in
the courts. The board was on Satur-
day last TO have met representatives
of the company. looking to immediate
application for a franchise or final
disagreement. To our surprise when
we got into conference we found that
they had no authority to make any
definite or conclusive agreement
whatever; but as the personal rep
resentatives of President MCGOWAN,
OF the interurban system of which our
lines are part they sought final in.
formation at first hand as to the de-
mands OF the city, and oniy had pow.
er TO report such facts to their sup
errors. We have their positive pro-
mise. however, that they will report
either one way or the other not later
than Thursday forenoon"
Would Avoid Legal Fight.
Under these circumstances the COM
munication stated that the board
thought it would be wise to grant two
or three days additional days time,
as an ultimatum rather than Drecipi-
tate legal contests or stop all interur-
ban freight service. If the company
on Thursday decided to ask for fran
chise they would at that time state
the time that would be required To
prepare such franchise for presenta-
ton. The time allowed by the board
for such presentation shall not ex-
ceed ten days or two weeks.
1t is therefore, says the commune
cation in conclusion, the opinion of
the board that ii is the best and wis
est course for all parties under the
present conditions that the policy
here outlined be followed for the rea-
sons above stated
Immediately upon the reading of
the communication Mr. Deuker was
on his feet with the declaration that
certain manufacturer had during
the day called him up over the tele-
phone with reference to the ordinance
prohibiting the interurban compan-
les from using Main street for freight
traffic. and gave him TO understand
that the bulk of the business men
were with the city authorities in the

DESIRE TO AVOID THE CRY OF

CAL STATION.
TWO MORE CLERKS HERE

Local railroads are making prepara-
tions for the quadrennial weighing of
the mail, which will begin some time
in February and last 80 days. The
weighing will deterD' inc the figure at
which the railroads will carry Uncle
Sans mail pouches for the years of
1907, 0S. 09 and 1910.
At the Pennsylvania station, at
which point the majority of the Rich
mond mail is handled, scales will be
placed at either end of the station.
while the trucks with pouch mail will
be weighed on the platform scales
near the mailing room. In addition
to the weighing before the mail pou-
ches are placed upon the trains, two
sets of scales will be pressed into
service on each mail car. where each
pouch will be weighed again. There
has been cries of graft in weighing
the governments mail and the Penn
sylvania is taking every precaution
against this. As each pouch of mail
will be weighed several times. and a
record kept of each weighing it will
be impossible for the railroads in this
section of the country to stuff the
pouches. as has been limited at by
large number of muck rakers" in the
past few years
In order to carry on the work of
weighing in this city two substitute
railroad mail clerks will be brought
here to assist. AS yet they have not
been named but they will be two of
the fifteen who passed the railway
mail clerks civil service examination
in Indianapolis last November.
