ASKS HEALTH AID

SO alarming did the Chambersbure

Ger in seeking to determine the
source of pollution.
While only six cases of typhoid
have been officially reported to tho
health board by attending phySi-

cases. One physician is caring for
eleven cases, another has seven, and
so on. The cases are from all parts
of town.
Three possible sources of contami-

GOVERNOR SMALL IS
WILLING TO SUBMIT
TO BEING ARRESTED
But Picks Out Chicago As The
Place.
(6y International News servIce.)

Chicago, July Ex-Governor Small
under indictment for embezzlement
of 100000 of State interest funds
during his term as State treasurer,
wants to be arrested in Chicago to-
day, but may not succeed in having
his wish fulfilled. In a telegram sent
to Sheriff hester of Sycamore coun-
ty. at Springfield. Albert Fink, at
torney for the governor, informed
the sheriff that Small would submit
to arrest any time in Fink's office in
Chicago. In reply Sheriff Nesker
telegraphed that he would not come
to Chicago to servo warrants on
Governor Small and advised Fink
that the governor might give bond
at Springfield at his convenience.
The desire of the governor to be
taken into custody in Chicago, it is
said. is part OF a plan to obtain
immediate freedom from the indict-
ments for the chief executive.
Should the governor be arrested
here, it is believed, an immediate
writ of habeas corpus will be ask
ed, either in the circuit or supreme
court. If the writ were sustained an
order discharging the governor
would follow Immediately. In that
case new indictments would be nee
essary before any procedure against
the governor could be had, is the
opinion OF attof heys.
The Battle Begins
Springfield, ILL.,, July 27.-Three
warrants for the arrest of Governor
Small, of Illinois, were turned over
to the sheriff. The long arm of the
law by this action began to reach
out for Illinois chief executive. 1t
also marked the opening shot by
the state in its battle to compel the
governor to submit it to the juris-
diction OF the State criminal courts.
The "a hours of grace allowed the
governor for a peaceful surrender
has expired, 1t was announced. The
governor, reported in Chicago, has
announced his willingness to submit
to arrest in that city, but authorit-
les desire to arrest him in the State
