AN EXCLUSIVE AFFAIR
People Visit Friends and the House Ii
Placed Under Quarantine.

Two young women Tuesday even
ing went. to the house at SIS Jefferson
street and visited with two young
men there and with other members
Of the family. What was intended to
be a visit Of half-hour or SO has
been extended into days and will
probably be continued two weeks, for
the quarantine officers CLOSED in" on
the house with orders to let no per-
son enter or leave. A case of small
pox had developed there.
There are now five men and five
women virtually held prisoners there.
They are Mrs. Dora Early, Alvin Har-
ris, Beulah Harris, Tressie Early.
Susie Early. Thomas Harris. Artie
Stevens, Minnie Crawford, Kilrain
Harris and John L. Sullivan Harris.
Alvin Harris is not related to the
others by the name of Harris, Mrs.
Early has been married twice. Her
first husband was named Harris. Her
present husband is not at home.
The members of this enforced
house party are doing the best they
can to pass the time pleasantly, and
1t is quite the most exclusive affair
which has been held in the city for
some time, for there is an officer on
guard to keep people out, as well as
to keep the occupants of the house in.
The city also has the responsibility Of
keeping supplies in the house, should
they run short, SO there is little rea-
son for the prisoners to worry.

road, the main line OF which runs
from Toledo. Ohio, to Frankfort; Mich
This road IL alleged to have hauled
consignments of beef of less than q

way lines west OF Pittshurg. were sub
poenaed to appear before the federal

More Than Half Might Have Been
Saved, Says Bureau Chief.

Washington. Jan. 22.-More than half
OF the $3.50 mine workers who persisted
in the coal mines of the country in 1919
would be alive today IF all the min
ers and mine operators had acquainted
themselves with and had used with
proper care the mines safety precau-
tons now recognized as possible" says
DR.. James A. Holmes, chief of the fed
eral bureau of mines in a report today
on the use and misuse of explosives In
mining.
Misuse OF explosives. the reports says,

and roof. dust and gas explosions, pre-
mature blasts. misires and other ac-
cidents.''
