in QUARANTINE
Citizen Thinks State Should Pay
a Man for Time i'm Con-
finement

Holabird, April 3.-Angus Barnes,
a resident of Holabird, indicts an
epistle to the Holabird News, in
which he objects to being quaran-
tined for an infectious disease with
which his family is afflicted. He
holds that the state has no right to
imprison a man, temporarily, and
deprive him of the chance TO earn
wages for the support of his family,
without compensating him for the
loss of time. He argues: Here /
am, or anyone else under the same
indictment, destitute OF rights and
privileges, robbed of my labor, which
the filling of hungry mouths,
and il not in good financial standing
forced to fall back on the state,
recognized as a pauper by law. Wife
and children forced to humble them
selves before the county authorities,
begging for support. The finger of
scorn is pointed at the innocent by
the public. What right has any state
or municipality to place a mortal in
such plight? Why shut a man up
from his labor, the only thing he.
has to sell, andd even no market
value placed on that, without a just
allowance for his time? To do so is
nothing less than robbery. A man
in this position should be paid his
usual or a fair wage for the time he
is shut up for the public benefit"

Discussion of appointment
Again Resumed.
ATTACK ECONOMIC VIEWS
Senators cummins and La Toilette
Object to Interstate Commerce Com.
missioner Because OF His Decisions
as Member of New Jersey Public
Utilities Commission.

Washington, April 4.-The tolls
controversy and other legislative
questions temporarily were shelved
by the senate again TO resume the
contest over the confirmation of Win.
throp M. Daniels of New Jersey, in.
innate friend of President Wilson,
nominated for interstate commerce
commissioner.
Lengthy debate on the Daniels
nomination has developed consider.
able opposition to him.
Senators Cummins and La Toilette
and others who are fighting confirma.
ton have made Ii clear that there is
nothing personal in their attack, but
they believe Mr.. Daniels decisions as
a member of the New Jersey public
utilities commission show that be held
unsound economic views, particularly
as they might affect the future physi.
cal valuation OF railroads.
Friends of Mr.. Daniels, including
Chairman Newlands and Senator
Pomerene of the interstate commerce
committee. who conferred with Presi.
dent Wilson. were prepared to argue
with their colleagues that what Mr..
Daniels had done in constituting a
state law should not be held as in
~fiuencing his views or opinions in
federal office. where. they contend,
the statutes and economic situation
are different.
The president Is earnestly DESTROYS
that Mr.. Daniels be confirmed. as he
regards him as n Of the foremost
authorities on political economy in the
country.

and the woman who holds an endow-
ment insurance policy lives longer
than the woman who takes out q
straight life policy.
These facts, substartiated by stats.
tics gathered last year by experts in

Arthur Hunter, an actuary, in an al
dress at the monthly meeting of the
Life Underwriters' Association of New

Mr.. Hunter also said the business
woman lived longer than the married
woman, but he did NIT attempt to ex-
plain why except to declare that fig

Nor did he explain why the unmarried
woman survived the matron. He did
tell, however. why the woman who
takes out an endowment policy lives
longer than the woman who has to
die to get the insurance.

up her spirit and determines to live

Mr.. Hunter said there were more
fatal accidents 10 this country than
elsewhere because of the American
'I'll take a chance" spirit. The NOR.

TOURIST HOTELS
ARE DESTROYED
Five Wiped Out in Blaze at

Some OF Them Being Carried Down

sreaate s75o,ooo.
st. Augustine, Fla, April 3.-Fire
destroyed five tourist hotels, the coun-
ty courthouse and a number of resi-.
dences here. So far as known no
lives were lost, though many guests
at the Florida, the Munson. Clair
mont, Atlantic and Central hotels,
which were destroyed, escaped scant-
lily clad and had no time to save their
personal belongings. Property dam
age is estimated at 100000 to $780,.
600.
Nearly two blocks near the water
front were destroyed.
For a time the business section of
the city was endangered, but the
flames finally were checked by local
firemen and a section of the Jackson
Vile fire department.
The fire originated in the kitchen of
the Florida, a large wooden structure.
and spread rapidly. Fremen first
turned their attention to ~rescuing
guests at the Florida, many of whom
were carried down ladders.
Guests Flee into Streets.
Occupants of the other hotels were
warned of their danger and many fled
into the streets without any attempt
to save their personal belongings.
Two persons were injured. An un-
identified woman sustained a d~islocat
ed neck and probably was fatally hurt
when she plunged from the third
story of a residence. A. Libby, a
guest at the Florida, broke a leg in
leaping from the second floor of the
hotel. He will recover.
The Vedder House, a famous land
mark containing valuable curios col
lected by the st. Augustine Historical
society. was among the buildings de
stroyed.
A company of militia guarded the
burned section TO prevent footing.
Ffremen and others who gathered
when the alarm sounded turned their
attention to the rescue of guests. II
was only this prompt action which
prevented loss of life.
With the city crowded with winter
visitors hundreds of persons ran ex
citedly through the streets. Families
became separated and personal effects
were scattered everywhere.
