The south half Of the street, has now
reached Seventh street. and during the

TWO MORE LOCATIONS OF
DISEASE FOUND IN town

When about two weeks ago the
ninth case Of smallpox was reported
in the city it was felt that there would
probably be omer developments, but in
that time there had been no new cases
until yesterday. when the disease de-
veloped in two families.
One Of these cases is in a family
named Smith. who came here some
weeks ago from Texas. \ little child,
it now appears, had been sick with the
disease for some time. but not rcaliz-
ing its nature ii had not been reported
nor had a physician been engaged. The
father and mother came down with
the disease night before last and last
night the entire family was taken 10
the new pest house southwest of town.
This includes three other children, all
of whom now show preliminary symp
toms Of the disease None of the fam
ily had been yaccinated.
Another case developed yesterday
morning was that of Miss Ferguson,
who was vaccinated few days since.
but not soon enough to protect her.
She also was taken to the pest house
last evening.
John Burger who has been attend
ing high school, and who has been sue
ceSsfully vaccinated in the last few
days, has very light attack Of vari
Oloid.
OF those who have been suffering
from the disease. A. w. Swanson has
recovered and will he released from
quarantine Monday: Mr.. Earhardt is in
the same condition: Mrs. Campbell is
well on the road to good health; the
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. He'll is about well:
the OZmun children are doing finely.
and Joseph Dixon has 50 far recovered
that he will be out in very few
days.
The latest situation is such that the
physicians are not surprised, nor are
they discouraged. They looked for the
few cases that are developing. and are
continuing their plans for suppressins
the disease.
II is notable that the disease is only
developing where the precaution Of
vaccinatins has not been taken or
where the vaccine had not had time to
operate.

SHARP RETORT EXPECTED
WASHINGTON, May 3t.--Disquiet-
ing dispatches from Japan have caused
Secretary of State Bryan to cancel his
speaking engagements in Alabama, Mis-
| SiSsipp and Georgia for next week.
Although the state department has no
! official announcements to make on the
subject of the Japanese problem, and
/ in spite Of the fact that no reply to
! The note of Mr.. Bryan on the subject
| OF the California alien land bill has
been received the department is dis
| turhed.
Word has been received that the
japanese government has discovered
such a pronounced diSapproval of the
American administrations attitude pre-
vailing in the opposition party's ranks
that it has heen found necessary to
take into the confidence Of the pres
ent imperial ministry the leaders uf
the opposition. This will be done be-
fore the reply TO Secretary Bryan's
note is made.
The opposition party in Japan con-
tans the mere rabid Of the anti-Ameri-
can leaders ar The empire. The nec.1S-
sltN for their mc'rsIon in the coafi-.
dence of the imperial ministry IS
thought here to indicate that the reply
10 the Bryan note will not be couched
IN conservative terms. At any rate.
Mr.. Bryan himself was sufficiently con-
cerncd to cancel his dates for com
mencement oratory in the sunny south
Hand.
The Japanese government. il has
been learned throughout diplomatic
mlerchanses. formal and informal,
which resulted from the alien land
legislation, has not suggested a method
for relieving the discrimination which
il alleges its citizens have suffered. The
communications delivered at the state
department by Ambassador Chnda have
been confined to expressing Japan's
views on the Legislation and pointing
out the grounds on which Japan felt
justified in asking for rectification.
The state department has received
no lntlmation as to when to expect
the japanese reioinder.
