CLOSE SCHOOL TO

IN FEVER EPIDEMIC
Fifteen Cases in Hawthorne Ave.
nue. District, but Authorities
Have Upper Hand.
Bull LDING WILL BE
FUMIGATED TOMORROW
Prompt Action OF Health Officials
Checks Spread of
Disease.

To allay the fears OF parents whose
children are attending the Hawthorne
Avenue Public Senool, In which district
there are fifteen cases of scarlet fever,
the Board OF Education authorities to-
day ordered that the school be closed at
noon. and the building fumigated from
top to bottom. 1t is improbable that
sessions will be resumed before Monday.
While the number of cases in the
Hawthorne Avenue School is the larg-
est in the city and above the average,
DR.. George J. Holmes, the school physi-
ciar, has been in touch with the situa-
tion from the start, and now claims that
he has everything under control He
was al the school today completing ar
rangements for its funiigation.
It is admitted that the situation is
bad, but 1t is asserted that ruinors with
no foundation in fact have made the
parents more fearful than they have
need to be. One story told was to the
effect that at the Christmas exercises
in the school one child, not entirely re-
covered from the disease. was in the
audience This, however, could not be
verified by the school health authori-
ties Another story stating that the
NlSiliIlS tiuiSt idtti tlCl iJtCii " AbN
scnool for two weeks was pronounced
true but has been reasonably explained.
The nurses are assigned to districts.
but owing to the small number on the
force are unable to get to each school
daily. The schools closed on December
23, and did not reopen until last Mon
day, which accounts for the time re-
ferred to.
There is a great deal of needless ex-
citement over the cases." said Isaac
Lowenstein, secretary to Superintend-
ent Addison b. Poland today. There
are a good many cases of scarlet fever
In the school, it is true, but we have
it under control and are doing all we
can to prevent further spread. The
two cases reported to have been found
in tho school were disposed of by DR..
Holmes and the rooms thorougllS
fumigated. The fumigation OF the
whole building tomorrow is simply 20
make doubly sure and to quiet the
fears of persons whose children attend
the school,
While every one acknowledges that
there is an epidemic of scarlet fever
in progress and that there is a great
deal of ii in all the schools of the city,
it is not as bad as it IS painted. The
average is not greatly in excess OF
three cases to a school.
One father whose. child is pupil at
the Hawthorne Avenue School called
in doctor to sec how he could best
protect the boy. He was told to keep
the child out in the air as much as pos
sible and on his return from school
have him wash his hands and face with
CASTLE soap and water and rinse them
afterward in alcohol.

N. Y. RAILROAD TRAFFIC.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5,-Railroad traffic
Is suffering severely from the cold wave.
Western trains are from one to seven
hours behind time, and trains from the

delayed by the inability of the firemen
to keep their engines properly stocked.
Navigation on the Hudson is practi-
caIly at standstill on account of the
formation OF field ice. The ships of the

Quanah, Acme and Pacific to Be Ex-
teaded Into New Mexico.

Quanah, Tex, March 3.-Notices
have been given to the newspapers for
publication for President Sam Lazarus
of the Quanah, Acme & Pacific rail-
way looking to the extension of the
road through the counties of Cottle,
Motley, Dickens, Crosby, Floyd, Hale,
Lamb, Lubbock, Hockey, Cochran,
Bailey, Terry and Yoakum, to the
New Mexico territorial line, thence in
to Roswell.
AS required by law. such notice has
to appear at least sixty days before
such construction work can begin
Notice has also been given of the an
nual meeting of the stockholders of
the road to occur at Quanah, April 10,
for the purpose of electing a new
board of directors and issuing $780,
600 additional stock; also notice to
deliver its first mortgage on its pro-
posed extension from Quanah by the
way of Paducah, to New Mexico, and
for the further purpose of issuing
bonds at the rate of 100000 per mile
on the completed line, about "A miles
from Quanah to Paducah.
The preliminary survey from Pa
ducah, the present southwestern ter
minus to Roswell and Ell Paso, was
made about three weeks ago, and de-
livered to the general offices here, and
then sent to the fiscal agents at st.
Louis for approval. The officials
have not given out which towns the
road will run through and there is
much speculation. Matadar, in Mot
ley. which is the county seat, is MAX
ing a hard effort to secure the road,
as against Alton, also in Motley county.

HOGS STILL GOING UP.
Another Record Price Was Made at
Stock Yards Yesterday.

Kansas City, March 3.-Pork on the
hoof still scars in price. Sheep and
cattle still follow. and now the gen.
eral boost has reached the retail mar
ket.
Another jump in porkers carried top
prices to $3.50 on the Kansas City mar
ket Tuesday. 1t put another dent in
the battered record, with middle prices
lively at an advance of to 10 cents
over Tuesdays figures. Steers of lower
grade than yesterdays tops sold for
SITS, establishing a new March rec
ord. In a very active sheep market
ewes brought as high as SIPS, itself a
record price.
Pork chops. the variable, responded
first in the retail market to the up
ward trend of live stock prices. In the
time of the boycott the chops could be
had at 121k cents per pound; today they
are 171z cents Pork roast has taken
an equal bound. and there is a famine
in the matter of tenderloin. Sliced ham
has jumped from 20 and 221k to Is and

iarly. And these are the regular, not

Iusba Murdered


lowed for the year 1910.
1t is said that the delay in return
ing the approved budget is due to the
policy to await the outcome of the
wage conferences. If the railroads
are forced to accede to the demands
of the unions, it is limited, large cuts
will be forced in the appropriations
for improvements.
The Santa Fe, it is known, as each
increase wage demand was filed by
the unions in the east, had figures
prepared indicating what the addition
al expense would amount to on the
Los Angeles and all other divisions
1t is certain that matter of inn
portance is holding up the budget as
the general officials insist that all
work be completed. as far as possible,
during the year that the appropria-
tions are made. With nearly two
months of the year already gone, a
big hole is made in the time in which
operations can be carried on.

The other man, according to the

Hull of Monroe City, who was the
Proctor family physician. He was
friendly with Mrs. Vaughn, too friend
ly, it is charged. Indeed, Chief of

that he saw them together, enter a
Quincy hotel before the husbands
death.
There was suspicion as soon as Pro-
fesosr Vaughn died because he was a
strong and healthy man, but coroner's
jury held an inquest and returned a
verdict to the effect that there was no
evidence of poison and no reason for
the performance of an autopsy.
But gossip would not still. Sudden
ly two incidents occurred which fan
ned it to a white heat. Mrs. John r.

From Her Room.

Washington. March. 3.-Jewels valued
at $4,000 were stolen last night from
the home of Mrs. Rebekah Hornsby in
a fashionable section of the city. The
robbery. executed when the house was
full of servants. has mystified the po-
lice.
Mrs. Hcrnsby went to the theater
leaving her Jewelry hidden in a ma
hogany shoe polishing box about three
feet high. When she returned the box
was gone and her bedroom window was
open. Today the detectives noticed a
window open in a vacant house next
door and decided to look in. There they
found the box open. Later they learn
ed that come men had obtained the key
to the empty house the day before on
pretense of inspecting 1t. The Jewels
were diamonds and pearls. One neck
lace was valued at 5000 and another
piece was worth $2.500 Other pieces
ranged in value from $500 to $1,000.
