that all of these projects will need

ONE NEW FLU CASE
YESTERDAYS TOTAL
DR.. LEITCH, CITY HEALTH OF
FICER, MAKES STATEMENT
DEFENDING ATTITUDE

In reply to some things said in last
evenings Star-Mirror, l want to give
the following statement given me a
short time ago by a man living near
'Genesee and vouched for by him as
absolutely true.
Last winter the citizens of Genesee
supposed the influenza epidemic to
have come to an end and held a dance
man who attended the dance that
night was ill the following morning
with influenza. Within forty-eight
hours almost every person who at
tended the dance and were infected
by the presence of this young man
were also i'll with influenza. That as
a direct result Of that dance being
held, within two weeks time over two
hundred new cases of influenza had
developed, with seventeen deaths re-
sulting, which was certainly an aw-
full penalty to pay for few fleeting
hours of pleasure. And like result
of which I am sure no one living in
Moscow wants repeated here.
From an average of six new cases
reported daily for the past week only
one new case was reported yesterday
and from present indications it would
appear that if strict regulations are
maintained for a week or ten days
longer the city of Moscow may be
entirely freed from the present cpl
demic and all quarantine regulations
lifted
DR.. F. M. LEITCH.
Complaint has reached me that
some Of the physicians of Moscow are
not having their cases of influenza
properly placed under quarantine and
that inmates of said houses are pass
ing in and out at will / therefore
request that every physician Of Mos
cow on discovering new case of in
fluenza or any contagious disease
Immediately call up the city hall and
have the house quarantined or call
me that I may have the same done.
People should remember that there is
penalty for disregarding quaran-
tine regulations and l sincerely hope
that it will not be necessary to en-
force the penalty in any case.

City Health Officer.

Mr.. Roberts, banker in western
town, was very bald and was in the
habit of wearing his hat in the bank
during business hours. Every week a
negro employee of the bank presented
a check and drew his wages. One
day, as he was putting the money in a
worn and greasy wallet, the banker
CHANGED to pass by, and asked:
ELook here, John, why don't you let
some of that money stay in the bank
and keep an account with us?'
"Well, sah,' replied the negro,

large a part chance plays in a sea
campaign. The mines that caused
the trouble were laid by a converted
North German Lloyd liner, the Ber-
haven and missed the second cruiser
squadron off the Norwegian coast
on her way north by about 20 miles.
Six weeks later. she was within 80
miles of the tenth cruiser squadron
without knowing it, and missed
them
That was the first Gordon of the
blockade. Had her speed been a
knot or two more she must have run
into part of the third battle squad
ron in the second Gordon, but they
seem to have passed 10 miles ahead
of her on their way to Scapa. At 7
o'clock the same night she was with
in a few miles of the other half of
the third battle squadron northeast
of the Shetlands, but they, too, pass
ed just too far off to catch sight of
her.
Three days later after long beat
up to Iceland and down again she
came into the thick of our west
Scottish patrols. Here she actually
slipped past the commander-inchief
himself in the Iron Duke without
knowing it.
The next night she missed the Sec
ond cruiser squadron returning from
coaling, and the next morning was
again within eight miles or so Of
Jellicoe's flagship, but was warned
by the strength of the wireless sig
mails, and a few minutes later was
| within five miles of the light cruiser
Blonde in the dark hour before dawn.
In the course of the morning she
again lodged patrol by dozen
miles and at night laid her mine
field off Tory Island. Her attempt to
get back to Germany was just as
full of narrow escapes, but her luck
did not hold till the end. OF
Troudhjem the pressure of the Brit
| ish ships became too strong, and
she ran into a Norwegian port on a
plea of damaged energies. 1t was so
palpably false that she and her crew
| were promptly interned..
1t is a remarkable fact, in view of
her success and the later feat of the
Moewe in twice getting out and
back, that more attempts at block
ade running were not made in the
first few months.

CARPENTER WILL l. SAIL FOR UNITED
 STATES MARCH 13
Dempsey-C Carpenter Mill to Take Place in Septem- Der, Probably-Tex's
 Interest

New York, February 11.-Paris
 cable advices received here today
 state that Georges Carpenter,
 European heavyweight champion,
 vii sail for this country on March
 13 and expects to box Jack Demp-
 sey for the worlds title in the
 United States during the month of
 September. In addition to Carpen-
 tier and his manager. Descamps,
 the party will include two French
 pusiiists of lighter classes, Charles
 Ledoux and Georges Papin.
 It is understood that Carpenter has 10th film and vaudeville contracts which will occupy his time for four or five months after his arrival in Amer ica. Before the expiration of these contracts it is expected that the sensa tional French pugilist will have beer formally signed to meet Dempsey foI the title which the latter won from Jess Willard last July
 Tex Rickard. who promoted that con test at Toledog, refused today to dis cuss the report that Carpenter was coming to this country under contract With him. It is known. however, that Descamps has requested Rickard to se- cure matches for both Ledoux an6 Fapin, which leads to the general ex- pectation that Rickard will announce the formal matching of Carpenter and Dempsey shortly after the formers ar. rival. In case Dempsey is unavailable for any reason, Mike O'Dowd or a promising light heavyweight may be used as Carpenters opponent in the Frenchman's ring debut in America.

AD THATCHER SAYS
 TOLEDO GOOD PLACE
 FOR TITULAR BOUT
States That Rickard Has Complained of Ill-Treat-
 ment By TOledOans

Ad. c. Thatcher, Toledo fight
 to the many criticisms of Toledo as
 place for holding championship
 glove engagements. Toledo has
 been the victim of sarcastic quips
 since the Dempsey Willard fracas
 last July, especially since that city
 took place in the bidding for the
 proposed Dempesey- -Carpentier
 match, and the quips have finally
 gotten q rise out of MT. Thatcher.
 'I am sick and tired of hearing that Tex Rickard lost money, and was abused by Toledoans during the Dempsey Willard match said Thatch er because I am in possession of facts regarding that fight and 1 know Rick ard cleaned up S100000 on the affair Toledo treated Rickard as fairly as any person could hope to be treated. I cannot make myself believe Rickard Is responsible for the many sarcastic attacks on the city"
 Thatcher says Toledo is really in ear nest in it's bid for the Dempsey-Car- pentier match, and if successful will prove to the fistic world that they can really do things on big scale Thatch- CT is willing to take a chance in pro- iHollhg tHe proposed battle himself He is man of much wealth himself and if necessary could probably guarantee the fighters as large q sum as could be offered any place in the world
 The criticism to which Toledo has been subjected by many writers is due to the fact that the crowd which wit messed the Dempsey willard bout was not as large by perhaps 10000 as Rick ard had figured on and arranged for. This, however, according to Thatcher. is no fault of the city. but can be as cribed entirely to the card not being as popular as Rickard believed it would be.
 If Rickard is peeved at Toledo. he has never let us know it." said Thatcher and we tried to get a state ment from him after the big scrap. Tex was disappointed in his financial gain but we think s100O0 is a pretty fair
