HEALTH BOARD SAYS They
HAVE NO MONEY FOR SCREEN

After thorough discussion at several
lsessions of the Board of Health, at all
lof which II was unanimously agreed
THAT part of the porch of the isola-
tion hospital must necessarily be
screened in. It was decided at the last
meeting that 1t would be impossible
ito carry out this work because OF the
depleted state of the treasury. AL
though the bids for the work were
formally opened, the amount was con-
sidered too great and the bids were
rejected.
For thsi same reason, after con-
siderable discussion, the question of
free vaccination at the Welfare Clinic
was voted down.
William Haffner, master plumber
was given twenty-four hours in which
to fill out his bond for 1920, being the
lonly one in the city who has not al
ready done this. Sixteen plumbing
certificates ten ice cream and three
milk licences were granted.
The health officer was instructed TO
ldraw up an ordinance for delicatessen
land other stores of this nature which
will legalize the examination of cold,
cooked meats so as to detect any COM
lmunicable disease which might be
lcontracted therefrom.
The owner of the property at 3O8
Elm street. through a motion passed
by the board is to be notified of the
Nuisance existing there in the form of
Iinsanitary conditions In the cellar.
THE ow1.er of the Standard Bedding
leo, on Oak street was notified to ap-
lpear at the next meeting of the board
Ito answer a charge OF maintaining a
nuisance upon his property whereby
1.-THE factory is insufficiently ventilated
for the great amount of dust raised In
the manufacture of the mattresses.
The health officer was instructed TO
find another techniclan to take the
lplace of Miss Marion Nichols whose
Resignation was accepted at the meet
ing. A new caretaker for the lsola-
ltion hospital is also needed and the
Health officer is also to look after this
matter.

PARTY LEADERS
KEEPING QUE 7
Have Nothing to Say in Move
for Commission Rule Peti-
tions Now Being Circulated.

Commission government for this
city is the question being discussed
on all sides today. The new move
ment seems to have met with popu-
lar approval. although there are
some who claim that the present
form OF government is as good as the
commission form, and can see no
reason for change. To uphold these
claims some persons point to other
cities where the commission form
seems to have failed, while those in
favor of the commission form of gov
ernment point to cities where the
government has proven successful.
and maintain that commission gov
ernment would prove just as success
full here.
Efforts were made by the EVEN
ING NEWS today to obtain the views
of several of the leaders in both the
Republican and Democrat parties In
the city to say where they stood In
the movement, but they refused 10
make a statement at this time, al
though il was clear that some state
ments would be made by them in the
near future.
Mayor Frank Dorsey when ques-
toned today said, Two or three par
ties came to me about It and / told
them to go ahead II they wanted 1t.
have no part in it." This statement
by the mayor was the only statement
obtainable to the new movement to-
day
AS those IN charge of the petitions
could not be located today, 1t was i'm
possible to learn how many had been
placed in circulation to date, but
from the general opinion 1t will be
an easy matter to find persons to cir
culate the petitions and obtain the
necessary signatures.

troll of manufacture and distribution

nation of excess profits, taxes In favor

submitted TO Presidential candidates

tion of the five great meat packers.
Mr.. Palmer said the recent federal

taken toward their control.
He explained the effect of the de-
crease and added:

NEED ISOLATION
HOSPITAL. FUNDS
Appropriation of $500 Al
lowed Board of Health; Also
All Expended.

The appropriation of $4,000 al
lowed the Board of Health for the
Isolation hospital this year VIII be
all expended by the end of this
month. This appropriation is for
total maintenance and for any im-
provements to keep the hospital up
to-date. a communication is being
prepared to be sent to the Board OF
Aldermen requesting an emergency
appropriation.
II this appropriation is not forth
coming, one of two things is neces-
sary, the closing of the hospital or
the charging for attention in the
hospital. At the present time patients
are not charged for service in this
hospital. The board of health feels
that when a patient Is forced to go
to the hospital to stay on account of
scarlet fever or diphtheria, TO be
kept until the danger period is pass
ed and to prevent Infection to others,
that 1t Is hard to charge n per capita
rate.
1t would be right to charge for
service to voluntary patients. II Is
claimed, but nearly all of the patients
handled in this institution are forced
to go to the Isolation hospital. There
are many good features about this
hospital that make It essential, in ad-
dltion to the fact that 1t compares
with the best hospital in this section.
Each physician is allowed to treat his
own patients, and the per capita cost
of each patient is sl.S7 a day. Judg-
ing from the fact that there are no
complaints received from any quar-
ters. and that institutions run on
larger scales charged SO a person be-
fore the war, this capita cost IL
amazing. according to health board
officials.
Approximately forty patients have
been handled in this hospital since
the first OF the year. Every case OF
scarlet fever in the city was handled
in this institution with the exception
of one which was perfectly isolated.
Excellent results were procured and
no deaths occurred. Trained nurses
are in attendance at this institution
and the best of food Is served.

OPPOSITION TO PEACE TREATY
EXPRESSED BY TURK LEADER
By The Associated Press


ANGORA. Asia Minor. May III
Unalterable opposition to the treaty
of peace the allies have submitted 10
Turkey was expressed by Mustapha
Kennel Pasha, leader of Turkish ma

ment concerning the treaty he re-
piled he welcomed an opportunity to
speak on the situation.
The allied powers led by Great
Britain condemned Turkey to death
and began to apply their decision by
the very direct material manifesto
tion known to the world. The Turkish
nation naturally has declined to ac-
cept such q sentence. Our caliph and
sultan, the Turkish parliament and
government, the members of which
were legal representatives of the
Turkish nation. were unable to re-
sist such a verdict and fell into the
hands Of British by occupation of
Stamboul.
''The Turkish nation left without
head or government in such a NOR
tai crisis took responsibility for its
own life into it's own hands and ere
ated a peoples government composed
of its own representative in Angora
calling 1t O great national assembly

department from the assembly itself
