 IS ORDERED

All Agree to Help

 The business men offered tO do everything possible to prevent the spread of the disease. asking for a compromise in regard to the theatres in permitting these 10 run at least one show nightly. and agreeing that if the epidemic spread so that more drastic action was necessary that they would gladly close up shop. proving that all other business and public houses where people congregate were closed.
 It was pointed out by the business men that their places were under a heavy expense and that if quarantine affecting them only was to be declared each time that a few cases of smallpox or some other disease occurred that they might as well try to sell out and move tO a city where such action was not taken and where all business firms were at least treated alike.
 The Rev. Compton stated that he did not believe that there were more peO- pie in Bisbee who played billiards and pool than there were who went to church and that he sincerely hoped that there were not more people who attended shows than went to church yet that he had never preached to a congregation approaching in size the number of people that he saw trading in certain local stores yesterday. stores which were permitted to remain open for business while the quarantine was in effect closing other firms, and that he could not see the justice in let ting these firms remain open and clos ing other places of business. He said ! he felt that if drastic action was need ed that every business house should ! be closed in order to stamp out the ! disease and prevent its spread at the first possible moment or else that all should be permitted to remain open. Think Embargo Unnecessary Mayor Erickson. and in fact every one present at the conference yeSter- day afternoon. seemed tO take the same view of the situation and the de cisiOn to rescind the quarantine which was in effect Tuesday afternoon and night and yesterday. It was agreed to lift the quarantine at once in order that the theatres and billiard parlors as well as churches could be open last night.
 The decision was received with joy by the business men represented and these crowded around Dr. Brown when the meeting broke up asking his advice as 10 the most effective means of fum- igating and preventing the spread of the disesse and offering 10 assist him in any and every possible way in stamping out the epidemic
 Dr. Brown advised all present who had not been Vaccinated recently to get vaccinated at once and to advise their friends to do the same as a pre- caution He mentioned that he had spent all day Wednesday vaccinating people and had neglected his practice to do this work.
 When appraised of Dr. Hunts plans last night representative of local bus mess firms criticized this action strong ly and asserted that they thought he was going too strong. They said they did not believe that the situation ne ceSsitated such Q quarantine and some were very bitter.
 Deadlock Exists
 Wm. Delbridge of the city board oi health stated last night that in his mind the two most likely places fOI the spread of the disease were in the schools and in the change rooms of the A0NNNGANA AAAG NA0cAAAc VT the schools if a quarantine embargo was to be put into effect but stated that he did not believe conditions ever approached such a serious aspect that the mines should be closed and did noi believe that the disease would spread so that this would he necessary. The matter now appears to be a dead lock between Dr. Hunt ard the lOcs authorities. Whether the city author ities will change their opinions. whicl were decidedly favorable yesterday C no quarantine in the city or else a con plete quarantine closing all bushes: houses. remains to be seen.
