INFAnT|LE PARALYSIS
 IN COAST RESORTS
Official Statement That Long Beach
 Is Free From the Disease

Many alarming stores of the preva- lence of infantile paralysis at Los Angeles and other points in southern California have reached Phoenix and several persons who had intended to spend a season on the coast have changed their minds. Persons who are already there. that is those who have children, have written that they will shortly leave. The disease has appeared at several points and as in all such cases stories of the extent and ravages of the disease are greatly exaggerated.
 The Republican yesterday received the following communication from the board of health of Long Beach through Dr. w H. Newman, the health officer: In the hope of re- lieving the possible anxiety on the part of those who may have relatives or friends sojourning in Long Beach we beg to state that there are no cases of infantile paralysis in Long Beach,
 The following from the Los Angeles Times shows that all precautions are taken against the spread of the dis ease:
 There will be no Sunday school today for the little tots of Pasadena. In conformance with the request of City Health Officer Black that all children under 12 years of age be eX- cluded from public gatherings on ac- count of the presence of infantile paralysis, in Los Angeles the Sunday school superintendents of the city yesterday announced that the primary classes will be temporarily discon- tinued

GUT A SWATH
 THROUGH EAST
But Dallas Dittmore Didn't Know That His Liberal Friend, Blackstone Adair, Was a Burglar and a Thief

Blackstone Adair and Dallas Ditt-
 more, the two boys who were brought back from Galveston on Sunday night
 by Sheriff Adams to answer to the charge of burglary, were taken before
 Justice JohnstOne yesterday for ar raignment. Adair admitted the crime on his part but Dittmore said that he had no knowledge of it until a month afterward. That statement was con-
 firmed by Adair and it is probable that DittmOre will be discharged on a hearing tomorrow.
 DittmOre said that after the burg lary of the house of MT. Graham when $200 was stolen and of which he had not heard, Adair proposed to him to set out on a trip through the east. DittmOre consented, thinking that it was to be a hobo trip. He was some what surprised when Adair flashed a large bill with which he bought tickets to Tucson. They remained there a short time after which Adair bought tickets to Galveston. They stopped at
 Fl Paso and stayed there and at Juarez for several days.
 , DittmOre said that the trip was a most enjoyable one Whenever Adair made q purchase he paid with a bill and gave the change to DittmOre. They lived on the best of the land and slaked their thirst with cham pagne.
 On their arrival at Galveston each thought the other had money and each tried to borrow from the other when the true state of their finances or rather the state of their want of finances was disclosed, The proceeds of the burglary were all gone and their journey was not half completed
 They got chance to work their way on the steamer COnChin to New York They signed for the round trip.
 It was not until they had reached Key West on their return voyage that Adair told Dittmore about the burg lary. When Dittmore learned of it he
 said that he felt that that would not
 be the last they would hear of it and he intended to disembark at Key West until he remembered that that was an island and he did not know how he would ever reach the main land.
 He said that he got more and more nervous as the ship neared Galveston and when it landed he saw three or four men in uniform come aboard. There come the doctors" said
 Adair. Dittmore had never seen doc tors wearing blue clothes with brass buttons. That was not the style in Phoenix and DittmOre feared it was not in Galveston. But one of the doc
 tors sized up the crew and then ap- preached DittmOre and asked his name He told him And yours?'
 asked the doctor" turning to Adair

 were jed to jail. They said that they
 were glad to see Sheriff Adams. He
