High School Controversy.

City Officials Order.
MORE THAN 100 PUPILS OUT
Five Recitation Classes Are In
cIuded in the Trouble.
Pot viii Boil at the City Hall
Monday Morning.

Trouble is brewing for the city
health officials and board of educa-
ton and it is expected that the trouble
pot will boil over Monday morning
when the city officials attempt 20 eject
all school children who have net been
vaccinated.
Today Commissioner Porter and DR..
H. l.. Clark, city health physician,
conferred with Superintendent H. B.
Wilson of the high school, when plans
were perfected either to eject all chill
dren who were in the five recitation
classes with the negro Monday and
Tuesday who have not been recently
vaccinated or have them vaccinated-
This is done, according, to Porter to
forestall any spread of smallpox
among the high school children who
came in contact with the colored boy
who was sent home last Wednesday
with a well developed case of small
pox. More than 100 students are in
| Guided in the order.
| DR.. Eva Harding has issued the fol-
lowing def: 1T is the height Of folly
for them to attempt such a thing and
if they attempt to do any such thing
! will get out an injunction against
them for they cannot take a well per-
son and make him sick simply to sell
the vaccine. It's press agent stunt.
pure and simple, of those who have

and l believe there is.
Another thing the city physician
| should know if he does not already
know it, is that it is too late to vac
! cinate a child and expect it will escape
smallpox if it has BEEN in contact with
the disease for it will not do it."
Porter Will Fight.
When the attention of Commission
er Porter was called to this he
said: Monday morning we will act
notwithstanding. If they want to start
trouble we will meet them and fight
it out as we intend to protect the chill
| dren."
The Anti-Vaccination Society of To-
peka will enter the fight on Monday
and are prepared, according to a
statement of one of its members, to
have an attorney on the ground who
will defend the action of any parent
who may object to the action of the
| board or the city health officials.
Interesting developments may be ex-
pected Monday if the authorities carry
out their present intentions for the
case will be bitterly fought, it is
stated.
