HarbOr Health Officers When E,X-
pOsure is Threatened.

BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Jan. 10.
No no no" emphatically, were the
cries of members if the county board
of supervisors Thursday when DIR. E.
r. Taylor, city health officer, threaten
ed to bring JacC0 Sears ((Goldstein) &,
the leper, before them If they could
not be convinced of the need Of isola-
tion under county supervision.
The supervisors were seen to shrink
back in their chairs and one predicted
the exodus of the children of Israel
would have had naught ON the leaving
of the board had DR.. Taylor carried
out his threat.
But it was unnecessary. When a
photo of the afflicted man was shown
and passed gingerly around the circle,
some even refusing to touch the card,
a sum was voted for the erection of
an isolation hospital and the care of
Sears in the future. DR.. Taylor de-
clared before and after the meeting
that If the board refused to take
charge of the case after state and ma
tion had turned him down, he was
going TO break up the meeting by
bringing Sears to the court house in
his auto and turning him loose.

Steiner block, a two-story Building.
one of the oldest in the city, and the
office of DIR. J. F. Howe. were burned
TO the ground in a fire that started
from unknown causes shortly after
midnight. Valiant work on the part
of nearly half the population. working
in bucket brigadees, saved the resi-
dence of s. A. Barclay next door.
Ha1d luck pursued the efforts to
check the fire. Lakeville's chemical
engine was hurried 10 the scene but
the pumps broke almost at the be-
ginning. Help was asked from South
Bend over the telephone and a chem
ical engine from there started for the
fire about l o'clock but a puncture
held il up and 1t did not arrive until
2. BY that time the two buildings
were in ruins
by Fox's saloon and Ed Brothers bar
ber shop. The Fox family lived up
stairs but had gone to Mishawaka for
the night. Both the saloon and the
barber shop were closed up at 10
o'clock and the building was empty
when the flames were discovered in
the living quarters of the Fox family.
Nothing is known as to the origin of
the blaze. The damage to the Steiner
building, which had recently be re-
modelled, is put at $4,000. DR.. Howe
places his loss at $3.50.
