Purchasing Agent Will
Be Asked to Explain.

To what extent are the many COM
plants against the State Purchasing
Agents office JUSTIFIED
This is the question that Governor
Richie will discuss with Albert Fl.
Weir, State Purchasing Agent, today.
The Governor deprecates the idea
that any sensational investigation is
planned, and although complaints OF
various kinds have been coming thick
and fast against the Purchasing Blu
reau, he denies that any sensational
Developments will be likely to result.
He wishes to ascertain for himself what
foundation there Is for dissatisiac-
ton which seems almost universal
among the State departments-''the
using authorities, for which the Pur-
chasing Agent buys.

STRANGE EPIDEMIC AT
PUBLIC SCHOOL. NO. q
Many OF the Children Found
With Skin Peeling From
Their Bodies.

An epidemic of what ut FIRST wa.
thought TO he scarlet fever. but which
physicians say. is minor disease o,
some kind. has broken out among the
children attending public school No
%. at Thirtieth and Madison streets
and as n result the entire building
will probably bo fumigated this after.
noon after the closing hour. The situa-
tion was reported TO David A. Ward
superintendent OF schools. this morn
ing and he Immediately communicated
with DIR. Frederick Armstrong, the
medical inspector for the Board of
Education. who will make an inspec-
ton at the school this afternoon and
order the fumigation. if he finds Il
necessary, and from what he had
heard Of the situation he thought this
would be necessary.
of tho 325 boys and girls attending
the school "a were absent last week.
according to Miss Florence V. Marley.
the principal, but not all of them
were suffering from the peculiar ALL
mcnt found among some of the chill
dren. She did not know this morning
how many children were out, because
she had not had time 10 make an in
Nostisation of the matter. There arc
30 pupils from the rural districts at
tending this school and whatever the
complaint is IL seems TO have origi-
mated among them. so far as this
school is concerned. Parents OF the
boys and girls attending there have
become considerably worried over the
matter.
Miss Marley said the first notice of
the disease was taken when three
children appeared in the school with
a rash on their faces and hands and
tho flesh pecling from their bodies.
Their clothing was opened and their
whole bodies were found to be af-
fected the same way. The rash looked
Ike scarlet fever, but one physician
who saw some OF the afflicted children
said 1t was not that, but a minor dis
ease OF some kind.
Later the disease spread through
the school and eleven pupils were
taken from one room with il. The
matter was brought 20 the attention
Of the Board of Health and one OF
The executive officers viii be sent 10

cation.
