Some Remarks on Quarantining

DR.. Woods Hutchinson, a medical
authority of national repute, was
quoted in the New York Sun of De-
cember 18th, 1918, as replacing little
reliance on CLOSING" measures. He
said: I'VE closed theatres and busi-
ness houses because we did not know
what else to do. 1t was a new prob
lem, and frankly We scarcely knew
how to meet it. AS matter of fact
there is no safer place for children
during an epidemic of any kind than
right in school, provided it is we'll
ventilated and modern to nurses and
equipment. DR.. Royal S. Copeland,
president of the board of health in
Americas largest city, the most con-
gested city, took every precaution a,
year ago last fall; but there was one
thing he refused to do, close the
theatres, saying then as he says now:
IF managers see that health rulings
are obeyed, one is as safe or safer in
a large, we'll ventilated theatre as in
a hospital, if for no other means than
that there are more pathogenic germs
in hospital than in we'll kept
theatre" A late bulletin says time
has proved DR.. Copeland to- be entire
ly right. "See how lightly New York
escaped-how the biggest city was
also the safest"

END OF STALMATE
IN COTTON MARKET

"I look for the stalmate in the cot
ton market to break in few days" "
said Commissioner Harris Thursday.
"This deadlock can not last always
when there is the greatest demand
for cotton that there has ever been
in the history of the staple. My fear
is that when cotton goes to 40 cents,
as it must, there are many farmers
who will be wiling to let loose their
holdings. This would be disastrous to
themselvse and to the cotton grow
ing industry.
"For, according to the laws of sup
ply and demand cotton today is
worth so cents a pound, and the far
mers would be getting is but for the
fact there is now going on one of
the biggest and most exasperating
combines to depress the price and the
bear spectators are exerting every
devise to force the price of cotton
down.
"The range of futures has been
slight in the last few days except
enthusiastically. The mills are
rapidly and surely grinding up the
reserve stocks laid in when cotton
was relatively cheap asst August and
September, but the day is surely conf
ing when the mills will be COM
peeled to buv short or shut down
their mills. And any one who knows

MESSAGE SHOWS
NEWBERRY WAS
IN CONSPIRACY

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 9.-The
government today established that
Truman H. Newberry was kept in
touch with the expenditure details in
connection with his campaign in 49,
18 for a seat in the United States
senate.
The proof in the form of a tele-
gram copy was given to the jury
which is trying the senator and 122
co-defendants, all charged with con-
spring to violate the federal and
state laws which limit the campaign
expenditures of senatorial aspirant.
The telegram was sent by Fred P.
Smith, manager of the Newberry es-
tate in Detriot and a defendant in
this case. 1t was addressed to Lieut..
Commander Truman H. Newberry,
third navad district, 26O Broadway,
New York. 1t read:
"Misinformed you this morning
the date of close of regular expenses.

FRENCH HONOR CERTIFICATES.

Special exercises on Washington's
Birthday will mark the distribution OF
French honor certificates to the next
of kin of American soldiers, sailors
and marines who lost their lives in
the great war. Franklin d'Olier, ma
tional commander of the American
Legion, has made arrangements with
the adjutant general of the army for
the distribution Of approximately
118,4O9 certificates through posts of
the Legion in all cities and towns
where posts have been organized. To
those living in outlying sections the
certificates will be mailed.
The certificates for relatives of de-
ceased soldiers who reside in foreign
countries will be presented through
the military attaches of the allied
countries while those for Porto Rico,
Alaska, Manila and Hawaii will be
distributed under the direction of the
several department commanders of
the American Legion. The certificate
shows a group figure from the ceno-
taph in the Avenue des Champs Ely
sees, Paris. In the scroll above are
the dates "1914-1919." Above the
group is a quotation from Victor
Hugo, which freely translated roads
"The people should come to pray at
the graves of those who died for their
country" The inscription reads: "To
the memory of of the Un-
tied States of America, who died for
liberty during the great war, the hom-
age of France" and the engraved sig
nature of the President of the French
Republic, Raymond Poincare.
The honor roll is made up of 107,.

new suggestion will be submitted to
the judiciary committee for final
disposition.
The compromise bill would pro-
vide for a commission of three men,
bers "discreet and disinterested
citizens" to be appointed by the gov
ernor, each to give bond of $1,000.
The salary of the chairman would be
$4,000, and that of each of the other
members $4,000. The total appropri-
alton for the expenses of the COM
mission would be $4,000.
The expense of the commission
would be borne by the persons and
corporations subject to the jurisdic-
ton of the commission, each in pro-
portion of it's gross revenue in the
state, this taxation not to exceed one
quarter of one per cent year.
The commission would be vested,
under the proposed compromise bill,
with "power and jurisdiction to
supervise and regulate the rates and
service of every public utility in this
state" Gas. electric. watt=:-- end street
railway companies would come with
in the scope of it's authority.
The commission would also be en-
powered to make investigation of un-
used hydro-electric potentiality in
this state, with reference to it's
future development, if practicable" /"
"The commission may" says the
bill further, Gin it's discretion estab-
lish a standardized system of ac-
counts to be kept by the public utili-
ties, scbject to it's jurisdiction.
1t is probable that the judiciary
committee will introduce a bill that
will imbody its adoptions from the
several bills before it, and a spirited
fight over the measure is expected.
This will probably come during the
week.

SUBSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC

Columbia, Feb. "a substitute
public service commission bill, to be
submitted to the judiciary committee
of the house of representatives, was
agreed upon at conference in
Columbia Saturday between at
torneys representing the public utili-
ties and the chairman of the public
utilities commission. This compro-

the other by Representative Meares,
of Fairfield. The Atkinson bill was
prepared by the utilities interests

pose of the conference in Columbia
Saturday was to reconcile the two
elements.

APPROPRIATION BILL
is NEARING COMPLETION

Columbia, Feb. 9.-The 1920 ap.
bill is rapidly nearing
completion, according to members of
the ways and means committee of
the state senate before whom the
matter of finances has been for sew
eral weeks. It is stated that the bill
vii be introduced this week.
Members of the ways and means
committee state that the appropria-
tion bill will conform largely to the
budget, submitted early in the ses-
sion by the state budget commission.
1t is stated also that the total tax levy
vii not likely be materially changed
from the present levy. However,
members of the committee also state
that the matter of the final total of
appropriations and of the tax levy
cannot be predicted, as slight cuts in
some places and slight increases in
others will effect these final figures.
Members of the committee state
that the hard knots in the bill have
largely been disposed of and the
committee will get the bill into final
form quickly. The committee an,
.nounced Thursday that all hearing:
on the matter of finances for the
year had been disposed of and there
would be no further hearings.
There has been considerable dis.
cussion of the budget plan. Member:
of the legislature state that the bud
get commission is unnecessary. Or
the other hand others take the posi-
tion that the commission accomplish
ed great deal in the matter of pre-
pairing a foundation for the appro
priation of state funds.
