CHILDREN FACING \
EXPULSION TODAY
More Than One Hundred Vacci-
mated Yesterday-Ali Physi.
clans Busy in Schools.

The children who were not vaccin-
ated in compliance with the order of
the Board of Health and the Board
of Education will be expelled today,
members of the School Board an
nounced yesterday. About 100 children
in the various public schools of the
city have failed to comply with the
orde rof the two bodies and they will
be sent home this morning provided
they can not present certificate from
a physician showing that they have
been vaccinated.
A number of physicians of the city
assembled at the Central High School
yesterday morning to assist the ply
sicians Of the board of health in vac
cinating all children who came to
school with a permit signed by their
parents. Three physicians went to each
school and during tn eday approx
mately 125 children were vaccinated.
Two weeks were granted the chill
Ndren during which they could choose
the physician whom they desired to adj
minister the vaccine. Of the 1,7O0
children of the public schools about
25O declined to be vaccinated either
failing to receive their parents per-
mission or refusing to submit to the
vaccination.
Wednesday these children were CIV
en- blanks to be filled out by their par
ents giving their consent that the
children may be vaccinated by the
physicians at the expense of the city.
1t was announced yesterday that ev-
cry child that failed to comply with
the vaccination order would be ex-
PEELED from school.
Many children, member of the
board said yesterday believe the threat
OF, expulsion was mere bluff" but
there will be many disappointed faces
Friday morning when they are order
ed to leave the schools and are told
that they are barred until they have
been vaccinated.
The school board has no authority
to enforce an expulsion of the chill,
drep attending the parochial schools
This is left to the heads of these
schools but it is believed they will CO.
operate with the two boards.

WILL OF FARMER
is CONTESTED. BY
STEPDAUCHTERS
Mrs. C.. F. Freeman and
Mrs. o. Obendorfer
Bring Suit.
CLAIM SHARE IN LARGE
FARM OF STEPFATHER
Two Suits Filed in Comman
Pleas for Recovery of
Accounts.

A suit contesting the will of VIII
liam Stathen "a farmer, who lived neal
Oriole, was filed in the Common Pleas
Court yesterday afternoon by Harry
E. Alexander in the name of Mrs.
| Cyrus S. Freeman and Mrs. Ollie OBJ
! en6orfer, stepehildren Of the late far
mer. The suit is directed against
Mrs. Pearl Sides and Newton Stat
hen, children of the farmer, asking
for one-twelfth interest in the farm
bequeathed to these two children by
their father last year.
The farm comprising ZIG acres is
located near Oriole and is said to be
worth 500 per acre. When Stathen
died he left the property to his wife
with the provision that the estate re-
vert back to his own children exclud-
ing to his stepchildren. According to
the plaintiffs attorney, the will was
worded incorrectly and failed to eX-
clude the stepchildren from the inheri-
lance, IS said to have been the wish
of the maker of the will.
Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Obendorfer
are stepchildren of Stathen who died
in the fall of last year. Mrs. Free
man is the wife of Patrolman Free
man of the Cape. Her sister is the
wife of John Obendorfer, formerly a
blacksmith in Neely's Landing. The
will which is being contested by these
two women, was made in 1899.
Two other suits were filed in Com
mon, Pleas yesterday, one by A. C.
Jaynes against Herman Book asking
Judgment on note for $3.50 given to
the plaintiff by Book in 1908 and the
other suit by the Phillips Lumber Co.
against Herman Loeffel for judgment
on an account of $3.50 alleged to be
due the plaintiff for the delivery of
building material.
Jaynes alleges in his petition he
loaned Book $255 for which he re-
ceived q note. The defendant, he as
serts, paid $25 on the note, but de-
clined to make any other payments.
The weekly tribune and the Cape County herald. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1914-1918, 1917-11-16

He asks Judgment to the amount of
$3.50 and 6 per cent interest on the
amount.
According to the petition filed by
the Phillips Lumber Co., Loeffel pur
chased some building material for
SS08.65, of which sum he still owes
S689.50, the petition says. The COM
pany asks judgment to that amount.
The suits will be tried during the
November term of the Common Pleas
Court beginning on the last Monday
of this month. Tomorrow will be the
last day of the term for filing Of
suits to be tried during the next term.
