Blauvelt Of the Illinois Central railroad
was again the target OF the questions
relating to the alleged manipulation OF

sumed the rate hearing today.
The attack Of the shippers was made
on the company's statement OF capital

sought 20 show a discrepancy between

CAR REPAIR GRAFT.
Atty Lyons interroga lions brought
out mention OF the car repair graft

court. The lawyer referred TO a state
ment that during the fiscal year 1910
$4,000 cars OF total OF 10000 were re

The commissioners next directed
Blauvet's testimony back To the mat

stockholders at par instead OF the open
market where the price averaged con
siderably above parity. Atty Horton
of the railroad sought testimony 10 jus

SCARLET fever EPIDEMIC
REPORTED ON INCREASE
Seventy-Two New Cases and Three
Deaths in District During the
Past Week.

Scarlet fever is spreading Seventy
two people fell victim to the disease dur
Ing the past week, an average of over ten
day. bringing the entire number of re-
ported cases under observation at present
to 345 Three persons died of the disease
during the past week.
Two employees OF the health department
formerly engaged in the house-to-house
inspection for the vital statistics Office
have been taken off that detail and as
DR.. Sawtelle assistant health officer, said
today that the disease spreads probably
on account of the cases OF scarlet fever
that are not recognized as such:
1T seems probable that there are many
children who suffer from cases so slight
that the parents do not call in physi-
clan. and who consequently do not know
that the child is suffering from highly
contagious disease. Our inspectors have
already found in some of the schools chill
dren who have had the fever and whose
skin was peeling. 1t is this sort of thing
which causes the disease to spread"
The health department is making every
effort to check the epidemic. Homes are
fumigated. Children in homes where the
disease is found are barred from the
schools. and every effort Is made to run
down the source of each and every case.
Officials of the health department say
that every parent shauld be warned about
the danger of the epidemic spreading
even more than 1t has already. The mild
ness of the epidemic is one of its chief
dangers. owing to the fact that a parent
does not know that the infected child is
really i'll, although the mildest cases can
infect others so that a dangerous case
exists. The disease generally makes itself
evident by an eruption or blush upon
the chest.
