There seems to be something
wrong IN the matter Of enforcing the
law which requires that measles shall
be quarantined The Board Of Edu-
cation does not seem to have made
any stringent regulations in such
eases for the protection of children in
school, and the city authorities have
been equally lax. The prevalence of
this disease has been more general
this year than ordinarily. and only
recently one of the brightest young
lives In the city was claimed as a
sacrifice to this laxity. The schools

HELD IN $1,000 BAIL,

Col. Robert A. Ammon vas ar
raigned last week before Magistrate
Marsh on a charge of grand larceny
and held under $1,000 bail to await
the action of the Grand Jury. The
charge against Col. Ammon is pre-
ferred by his wife, who Gus him
of having stolen from her a box con-
tanning jewelry, diamonds and valu-
able papers belonging to her. When
previously arraigned Ammon told
the court that he had taken the box
because he believed that it con-
tanned papers that he wanted to use
in a suit brought by him.
He said thta he had deposited the
box with his lawyer in Manhattan
and had repeatedly asked his wife
for the key of thS box, at the same
time offering to hive 1t opened in
the presence of hrself Or her law
yer. On one occasion she gave him
a bunch Of keys, but none of them
would open the box. Mrs. Ammon
was In court on Tuesday. She and
her husband occupy the same house
on Grymes Hill, but it is said they
live apart, Mrs. Ammon reserving
one end of the dwelling for her own
use and the Colonel occupying the
other end.
