lads who ran away, are incorrigibles,
placed in the charges of the juvinile
court of Indianapolis. Many of the
boys are vicious, and have been gull

from twelve to sixteen years. The
only means Of identifying them, is
by their actions, as no uniform is

coNTRADIcTs STATEMENT
Junk Dealer Myer Franklin Says
Disease Was Net Contracted in
His Barn.
Plymouth Ind. Sept. 2s, 1s1,

Editor of Plymouth Tribune:
In regard to the article concern
inc the spread of scarlet fever which
Marshall Jacoby in an interview
with your reporter is quoted as hav-
ing traced from my junk barn, I
would be pleased to make a state
ment TO the public, in reply, and in
defence of myself and business.
In the first place, Carl Ebert, is
quoted as having said that he believed
that his children contracted scarlet
fever from playing in piles Of rags
i'm nv barn, some of which Jacoby
saws he traced back to Johnstown,
where eases of scarlet fever ragged
this spring This is misrepresenta-
tion. The Ebert children, nor any
other children, excepting those Of
my own family, have never been al
lowed to play in my junk barn. My
own family has been there, almost
living in the barn, and if the dis
ease was to have been caught from
old rags, surely they would have con-
tracted scarlet fever.
furthermore, if any old rags were
sold to me, which did come from
houses which had been infected with
the disease, everyone can see that
I could not be held blameable, for
huying such rags. 1t it the duty of
the physicians attending the case,
and the health officers, to see that
the houses. and clothing, are properly
disinfected, after cases of contagious
disease, also to see that any old rags
which might harbor the disease, are
destroyed. / have always been ex-
tremely careful in conducting my
business, to correspond with the law.

Bourbon Farmers in Row Over
Question of Opening a
Highway.

Greer maintains that road which
passed his premises should be closed

and also planted trees. Peterson de-
clared the road should remain open,

SCHOOL NOT IN DANGER
Physicians Say Children Have Not
Been Exposed to Scarlet
Fever.

ion that the schools have not been ex-
posed to scarlet fever, and that there
is no danger of the disease spreading

twelve year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.

kins who reside in the vicinity of
the Beldon residence were dismissed
from school Monday, for safety from
any possibility of exposure.

Championing the cause which he
deemed just, Councilman j. B. Bowel
of the third ward, at heated session
of the city council Monday night
which extended to nearly midnight,
forced the tax levy for the city
from $l.765 on the 800 valuation,
down to $1.505, or a reduction of
twenty six cents.
The reduction was not made with
out a battle, a battle with council
men Swindell and Clizbe, arrayed for
the high tax, and Bowel with Van
glider and Bergman for reduction.
At every step the reduced levy was
opposed, and no less than six votes,
were taken in passing the tax rate
ordinance on the second and third
reading with the vote split as above.
Councilman Bowel precipitated the
fight, when he deserted the other two
Republican members, to take his
stand for what he considered justice
AFTER ten days, Of hard delibera-
tion, / have made up my mind, that
the proposed levy is entirely too high
There is no need for these great I'M
proyements, with the city "head
over heels" in debt Taxes are be-
coming too oppressive. The proposed
rate of $1765, is too great raise.
We must not do it, and in justice to
nv fellow citizens, | must vote for
reduction These were the words Of
Bowel, when the tax levy eOnsidera-
ton was called. The amended appro-
priation ordinance to correspond with
