DES MONIES, March 19.-Cspecial Tele-
gramD-The house this afternoon passed
the senate bill providing for the removal
of county officials Of every kind, who fail
or refuse to enforce the law, the power of
removal being lodged with the courts upon
motion Of the attorney general or governor.
The house, after nearly two days of de-
bate, reached a vote on the bill to exempt
mortgages from taxation. The bin pro-
vided a filing fee OF 10 cents on the 800
for each year of the life of the mortgage.
TO be paid when the mortgage is recorded.
and when this is done that the mortgages
shall not thereafter be subject to assess
ment and taxation. The opposition to the
bill came largely from farming sections
and on the ground that this was really a
way to exemp mortgages from the
ordinary taxation as moneys and credits.
The bill was defeated by a vote of 4S to So,
Bulk Sales Bill.
The senate passed a bill forbidding
sales OF stocks of merchandise in bulk
without first a bill of sale being on record
for five days. The bill is one much de-
sired by the jobbers to protect them from
merchants, who dispose of stocks of goods
and depart from the country. II was
passed, % TO p.
A resolution was passed by the senate
calling for adjournment April l.

CITY in the case Of Joyce and Morrison,
who are held In jail in Sioux City on a
charge of connection with a bank robbery
in Nebraska. These mon were arrested

QUESTION papers TO take them to Nebraska.

ment.

liquor laws another new twist today, which
will add to the troubles of the registered
pharmacists. In a Polk county case, that
OF Sharp against Davis, the defendant
resisted an injunction on the ground that
In selling liquor to a minor he had the
written consent Of the boys father. The
court, in a decision by Judge Evans, holds
that this is no protection to the permit
holder, and while the Iowa law says that
the druggist shall not sell to a minor
without a written permission from a
parent or guardian, elsewhere the law
absolutely forbids such sale. In short. even
though the applicant for liquors signs a
statement that he is not a minor, or
produces a written permit. sim the drug
gist must not sell to the minor under any
circumstances

MISS DE LACY'S

 she received last night her visit to

 The play is no doubt familiar to theatre-goers. It is a story telling of the hypocrisy of Society where money and the willingness to spend 1t reign supreme and the number of one's friends depend entirely on the size of father died and left her nothing but some worthless bonds. is the principal character. She is kept in ignorance of their worthlessness. however, by her guardian. Arnold West. until she tells him she is to marry Richard Bur bank. one of the saner members of Society. Although West is married he wants Olivia for himself. He tells Olivia in the presence Of Burbank that she has been living upon his CWest's) money, that he has bought her and paid for her. Olivia had been forced into thinking of marrying Burbank for his money by Mrs. Cathcart, with whom she had been making her home. Olivia had been unable to pay her own way with her limited means and had borrowed from Mrs. Cathcart. This worthy lady finally tells Olivia that it is up to her to catch Burbank or else ci16 WOQlQ WASH ncE hands of her" The poor girl sees her predicament and starts in- The first time Burbank proposes she says she does not love him.

After the accusations of West another engagement is necessary and Burbank pops the question again at 2:30 in the morning.
 Miss DeLacy as Olivia received a great deal of applause for her emo tional work. which showed consider able artistic ability. W. D. Dimock as Horace Waiting did excellent work. Marion Chester as Mrs. Cathcart was especially clever. Mrs Cathcart looks like the impersonation of Society when it gets old. wrinkled and cynical. Sam Walden as Thomas Smith, Jr, one of the parasites, fits about just as a but terfly should. The whole company is pleasing and every member of it is a good entertainer.

STATE BOARD INSPECTING THE BAR.
 BER SHOPS.

Bzrbers who have lived up to the laws of the State in regard to sanitary conditions in their shops will have a chance to show the spotlessness of their tonsorial parlors to the keen eyed members of the State Board of Examiners of Barbers almost any day now. for the examiners have started on an inspection campaign that has already covered the city of Danbury and several smaller towns. and which will include all the shops in the State before 1t is finished.
 It is said that. while in Danbury. there are many shops where one may feel reasonably sure that no unfriendly germs are getting a strong hold on his red corpuscles. there are. on the other hand, several places where the razors gre not sterilized as they should be. where the combs and brushes move from head to head with no intermed- late disinfecting. where the vibrators whiT from one cheek to the next. no germ destroyer intercepting. These and other things of a. similar nature have been discovered in Danbury.
 The members of the present board of examiners seem inclined to attend to 1t that the laws are enforced.

MAJOR .BOUDREN
 WINS A VICTORY
All Board of Education RnIes Requiring the Compulsory Vaccination of
 Children Repealed.

Major Thomas w. Boudren and the members of the Anti-vaccination So- ciety who have been fighting for years to the end that vaccination shall not be compulsory in the public schools, can now. we'll rejoice, for the Board of Education at their meeting last even ing voted that all former motions on rescinded.
 The State School Board has on its books a rule that the vaccination of school children shall be left with the School boards or visitors in the vari- ous towns. When this rule was pass ed some years ago. the local Board of Education voted that vaccination in this city should be compulsory. This rule prevailed for many years. Later 'opposition sprung up on many sides, but there was no organization of the forces to fight the issue A leader came up in Major Boudren. whose fight secured a modification of the rule in that where parents objected to the vaccination of their child, If they would send a letter to the superinten- dent the child would be permitted to enter school without the virus being inserted It was this latter clause that brought up the subject last even ing.
 Superintendent Deane read a num- Der of letters from parents throughout various parts of the city who notified him that each objected to the vaccina- ton of their children The letters had begun to pile in -so fast, he stated, that to keep them filed he would have to ask for at least two more clerks. After lengthy discussion of the mat ter Dr. Monahan suggested that all previous rules be rescinded. the motion being carried. The physician stated that in the event of a contagion the matter could be handled properly, but at this time the board has one rule, while the parochfal schools have an- other. it appearing to him that all children should be treated alike. The vote to rescind was unanimous. Com missioner Cullinan said that the Board of Health could under the State law oroer the vaccination Of the children at any time.
