nouncement yesterday that the New
YORK American baseball team viii
train in Florida this spring. instead
Of Macon. Ga, 1t was learned to-
day that the New York Nationals
also are considering changing their
spring training quarters from Mar

Florida.
The high cost of training at Mar
lin Springs and prohibitive railroad
rates are said to be the reason for
causing the Giants to consider the
change.

IT. MYER five
BEAT HUMPHREY
Quartermaster Basket Toss
ers Outplayed the En-
gineers' Quint.

Camp Humphreys made its initial
appearance in the Service Basketball
League last night at Mount Vernon
Hall and was defeated by the Fort
Myer quint, 81 to 10.
The Engineers showed the lack OF
practice, which accounts for the one
sided score. Humphreys was not able
to cover the Fort Myer five and the
Quartermasters shot baskets from all
positions. The half ended with the
Fort Myer leading by eleven points
and they increased this lead in the
final period.
During the second half the Engi-
neers only had two baskets regis
tered. while the Quartermasters were
caging eight with one free toss which
brought their score up to thirty-four
points.
The Fort Myer team showed big i'm
provement in team work as well as
shooting baskets from the floor. The
forwards passed the ball down the
floor to the guards. who were in posi-
tions to shoot the basket. The lineup

JAIL HERE is 0. K.
Larimer Says Government In
spectOrs So Pronounced 1t.
Not Modern But It's Kept as
Clean as Possible.
|. W. W. WERE IN A PLOT
They Tried to Make 1t as Filthy
as They Could.
Their Plans Were Told by the
Other Prisoners.
W. W. WERE IN A PLOT

That government Jail inspectors
gave the Shawnee county pail clean
bill of health following an inspection
recently and that a plot existed among
I. w. VS. confined in the Jail to make
the Jail as dirty and filthy as possible
when the inspectors arrived. were
statements today by Sheriff Hugh Lari-
mer. Governor Allen, in statement is
sued Monday, directed the state board
of health to inspect all county jails
and charged that conditions in some of
the county jails harked back to the
dark ages.
The Shawnee county Jail isn't
modern just like many homes in which
people are living" said Larimer. But
it is just as clean and sanitary as any
Jail could be with its lack of improve
ments.
Deny 1. w. w. Charges.
THE United States marshal and the
United States district attorney tele-
graphed TO the department of justice
at Washington and denied charges of
the 1. w. w. confined in the Jail that
conditions were filthy here. The I. w.
WIS did everything possible to keep the
Jail dirty and arouse sentiment against
the Jail system.
They tore new blankets purchased
for them. Thep spat tobacco juice on
the whitewashed walls, they broke
their beds and failed to police their
hunks or their cells in order to carry
out their part of a program against
the government jail system.
THE I. w. VS. are the kickers who
stirred up all the trouble. We never
heard complaints from state prisoners.
In fact, many prisoners confined spoke
highly of the efforts to keep the Jail
clean and sanitary
I'VE received word that government
inspectors would inspect this Jail about
two months ago. 1t spread among the
prisoners. We learned from other
prisoners that the 1. w. WIS planned
to make things as filthy and. bad as
possible the day these inspectors were
scheduled to arrive. The inspectors
arrived in advance OF schedule and fol-
lowing the inspection gave the Shaw
nee county Jail a clean slate"

MAKE IT TIGHT
Flu Quarantine Will Be Strict
This Winter.
No Member of Families To Be
Let Out.

Bread winners nor any other men,
Der of a family in which a case of flu
is reported this fall will be permitted
to wander on the streets of Topeka
endangering all with whom they come
in contact according to the resolution
passed at a meeting of the Public
Health committee at the Chamber of
Commerce this noon.
The resolution making the quaran-
tine for flu as absolute as the quar-
antine for smallpox or any other COM
municable disease was passed follow
ing a report of a special research COM
mittee of physicians. DR.. T. D. Tut
tie, of the state board of health was
chairman of this special committee
and the members were DR.. Earle G.
Brown, DIR. H. A. Alexander, and D.
F. L. Loveland.
The recommendations of the COM
mittee will probably form the basis
of the Topeka fight against the inf1u-
enza this fall and winter and if car
ried out as recommended will be the
most drastic set of regulations yet put
out by any city in the United States.
The recommendations provide for
strict quarantine of both patients and
families of patients. including the
bread winner. 1t also provides that
the very first cases Of flu to De re-
ported be handled in a special flu hos
pital to be Immediately set up and
maintained as part Of the city's anti
flu machinery.
1t Is thought that the strict enforce
ment of the regulations will prevent a
recurrence of the fatalities attendant
on the epidemic last winter.
Another meeting of the committee
Is to be held at the Chamber of Com
merce Tuesday.

FIGHT FOR FOOD MAKE A new JOB
Position of City Physician Gre
ated by Commissioners.

ment Confirmed.

Action taken this morning by the
city commissioners following the pro-
posal by Commissioner Robert D. Nc
Giffert, of the name of DR.. Randle j.
Miller to serve as city physician, re-
suited in the approval of the appoint
ment of the doctor
Commissioner McGiffert explained
that a city physician is now necessary
following the split up between the city
health department and the county
health department under which ar
rangement the county physician served
also in the capacity of city physician.
The proposal met at once with the
unanimous approval of the commits
sioners.
DR.. RandIe ]. Miller, who assumed
the duties of city physician today, is a
Topekan. He was born, reared and
educated in this city. Doctor Miller

department. He was recently dis
charged from the army after spending
two years in the army. Part of the
time he was in France and Germany
with evacuation hospital No. Z.
His work in Topeka will consist of
caring 1oT various pdllentS VIM cOIHe
to the notice of the public health de-
partment unable to pay for scientific
treatment. He will also carry on work
with the Provident association similar
to the work he directed in the east
dealing with children. Malnutrition
cases will probably be the feature of
the clinic he will operate.

ficer, will have charge of the direc-
ton of the work of the health depart
ment he will be regarded as the pre-
ventive specialist, Doctor Miller. city

the needed treatment.
