Bill Gust
Vaccination
Is Defeated
Hume's Attempt To
Remove Logan From
Parole Board Suf-
fers End Reverse

The anti-vaccination measure
which met with overwhelming de-
feat at the recent election made its
appearance in the senate this
morning in the form of a bill spon-
sored by Senator Hume.
The bill provides that mo form
of vaccination or inOcculation
shall hereafter be made condition
precedent in this state for the ad-
mission to any public or private
school or college"
Senator Hume's attempt to oust
John f. Logan from membership
on the state parole board was still
further delayed this morning when
a motion by Hume for the recon
sideration of the bill which was
defeated last week was laid on the
table through motion by Senator
Joseph. Opponents of the Hume
bill regarded this mornings action
tantamount to indefinite postpone
ment of the measure. Adehercnts
of the measure, however, insist that
the move still further delays pass
age of the bill and Logan's removal
from the board.
