DISCUSS PLANS FOR
CONTAGIOUS HOSPITAL

For several months past the mem
bers of the board of health have been
considering the advisability of provid-
ing a contagious disease or a deten-
tion hospital and a committee from
that organization has been trying to
ascertain what was best to do in the
matter.
At each meeting of the board Chair
man Arnold has reported progress and
invariably asked for further time, say
ing that the matter was in the hands
of members of his committee, one
from the council and another from the
Aultman hospital Tuesday night the
members of the three committees met
in the board of health rooms. The
hospital was represented by F. E.
Case, Louis A. Loichot and William
Thaobald; DR.. J. U. Shorb and J. l..
Arnold represented the board of health
while Councilman E. S. Folk and Ira
Aungst appeared for the council. City
Solicitor John T. Blake was also pres
ent.
The matter of erecting an annex to
Aultman hospital was taken under
consideration, this being deemed one
of the most feasible plans of providing
place where people suffering from
contagious diseases could be taken
and treated. Patients suffering from
smallpox could not be cared for at this
place, but porvision could be made for
all other patients. The various phases
of the situation were thoroughly dis
cussed, but at the conclusion of the
session nothing definite was decided
upon.

WANT HIGHER DUTY ON
STOCKINGS AND CLOVES

Washington, April 6.-Merchants
from Chicago, Minneapolis, New York
and Cleveland, who are representing
their own firms and many others from
all over the country are here tonight
fighting for higher duty on stock
ings, gloves, etc.
They have found that three members
OF the ways and means committee
favor low duty but had to obey the
orders of Payne who is behind the
tariff bill.
Tomorrow the delegation of business
men will call on President Taft and
ask him how he stands as to stock
ings. The merchants say if he re
fuses to talk tomorrow they will stay
till he does talk, and that they will
use every honorable method to win.

els In Cities Where Old Party candi-
dates Refuse to Pledge Themselves
to Stop the Traffic.
Columbus, o., April 6.-Despite the
fact that sixty-two of the eighty-eight
counties in Ohio have banished sa-
looms. the Anti-Saloon league believes
the temperance movement in this state
is facing a crisis. Upon the success
of the campaign to stamp out speak
easies" and bootlegging in dry
districts largely rests continued prog
ress in the fight against open saloons,
say the Anti-Saloon league officials.
Unless the sale of liquor can be
stamped out entirely there is fear
for the future, especially in coun-
ties containing such cities as Spring
field, GAINESVILLE, Newark and Coshoc-
ton.
The organized temperance forces
particularly fear hostile municipal ad-
ministration, producing conditions
that will make violations of the liquor
law comparatively easy. For this
reason the Anti-Saloon league is in
augurating an extensive law enforce
ment movement. The fight to make
districts that have voted out the sa.
looms actually dry" is fully as impor-
tant, says Supt. Wheeler of the Anti
Saloon league, as the numerous local
option campaign scheduled for this
spring and summer.
The law enforcement program
means that the powerful temperance
organization is going to mix in mu.
nicipal campaigns all over the state
this fall. AS starter. all cities and
villages in dry" counties are to be
flooded with literature setting forth
tie necessity of strict enforcement OF
the liquor laws.
The new primary law is to be fea,
tured. Voters will be told how they
can take advantage of the popular
vote system to secure the nomination
and election of officials who will en-
force the liquor laws. This will be
followed by agitation tending to make
law enforcement the issue in the mu
nicipal contests.
Ii neither of the dominant parties
pledge their candidates to enforce the
laws the Anti-Saloon league will as
sist in putting independent municipal
tickets in the field If possible this
organization intends to head off the
argument that open saloons are better
than blind tigers and law violation
In the meantime the temperance Off
cials, through detectives and other
agencies, are watching all dry" coun
ties.
At the state headquarters of the
league today 1t was stated that whole
sale arrests of liquor law violators are
being planned.

sad Tale From Emporia.

A well-fed horse drove into town,
behind span of ancient men, whose
knees were sore from falling down
and striving to get up again; their
poor old ribs were bare of meat, and
they had sores upon their necks;
there wasn't, on the village street, a
tougher looking pair of wrecks. And
so they shambled up the street, a
spectre harnessed with ghost; the
horse descended from his seat, and
left them standing by post. And
there they stood through half the
night, and shook and shivered in the
tugs, the while their master, in de-
light, was shaking dice with other
plugs. And there they died of grief
and cold-no more they'll haul the
heavy pillow; their master said, when
he was told: "They cost blamed lit.
tie, anyhow"
