Regarding rumors that Laasman was paralysed. the statement said he had suffered an impairment of functioning on his left aide. but at no time could 1t be construed n paralysis" It was added this con- dition is improving daily and he now has absolute use of his left aide and arm."
 It was said Lassman was entirely conscious. but "as in all concussion cases. his memory as to the actual happening is faulty. He does not recall the game. which. to us. is per- fectly natural"
 It never has been definitely deter mined how the giant tackle WAS hurt in the Carnegie Tech game. but it is believed he was accidentally kicked by another player.

ROAD GANG Gets
TRACTOR GRADER
FOR REPAIRING
Taxpayers Begin to Muir
muir of Inactivity in Start
ing New Road Work

With the arrival yesterday of q
new tractor with q surfacing blade
attached for the work on the highway
east of Douglas, hope rose that the
old highway may be MADE passaplc
for traffic in the near future. The
state highwaynen have been grading
up the stretch Immediately north Of
Douglas and have now turned east
beyond the fair grounds. The tractor
blade device is considered one Of the
latest things in a grading tool.
The arrival Of this additional ma
chinery however for the maintenance
of road that has been tentatively
condemned and for which funds were
budgeted in the 1929 budget Tor
rebuilding, probably over a different
route, does not stimulate hope that
the $215,000 budgeted for construction
on highway 80 east OF Douglas during
the present fiscal year is likely to
be used. 1t is pointed out that there
is danger that when the highway
commission meets in June to again
proportion the funds for road build
ing something will happen to that
$215,00O that should have been spent
long ago for the Rodeo-DouglaS link
of a federal aid highway.
The. neSy budget which will be
effective in July may show, it is
asserted, that because this $215000
was budgeted last year no additional
funds will be budgeted and thus
Douglas would, be deprived of $215,000
for highways.
Bids have been called for on the
Globe-Safford highway which will
cost more than 100000 and be one
of the greatest highway expenditures
ever attempted in this state by
contract. That 100000 highway will
be just the length of the highway
that was budgeted, with the $215,000,
east of Douglas and taxpayers in the
Douglas district are beginning to
wonder what is the reason bids arc
not called for on the strip here So
the money can be put into use
before the budgeting period arrives.

WARM NORTHERN
WINTER is BLOW
TO THE TRAFFIC
r. |. Railway Vice President
Says Business, However,
Is Generally Good

Business generally is good but the
open winter in the higher latfTudeS
has had an effect on the railroad pass
enger business, according to Leon M.
Allen, vice president of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railway, and
manager of traffic for that system.
Mr.. Allen was in Douglas yesterday
during the time the Southern Pacific
train east stopped in the station here
and left the train to visit with j. A.
Vestry local agent of the Southern
Pacific road.
cit has been but few days since
left the east on hurried business trip
to the Pacific coast and there and on
the west coast, 1 have only favorable
things to report, so far as general busi-
ness is concerned" said Mr. Allen. Re
ports indicate that I am leaving your
splendid climate on my homeWard trip
to run back into cold and snow. But
the trip must be made regardless OF
weather.
"This cold wave came a little too
late for results to our totals from pass
enger traffic this year. I am afraid.
When we need the wintry weather is
along in December or even earlier so
that they can plan to be away for long
enough to warrant planning a trip.
"This stop at Douglas. brief though
it is, pleases me because I can see
from the station that things are 60
ing forward. I have been seeing your
advertising in the larger magazine
field and we are getting inquiries daily
that include requests for information
concerning Arizona. The country gen.
orally is getting aroused to the climate
and other attractions of this wonder
full southwest country. We have a
very considerable interest in the de-
velopment of Arizona and your people
may rest assured that they have a
most friendly ally in the Rock Island
in bringing the state and its oppor-
tunities to the attention of the people.
Travel this way is bound to bring us
Cur share ano so whenever we can do
so, we shall always say a good word
for Arizona
Mr. Allen remarked that while he
travels through this section almost ev-
cry year, it had happened that his
latest visits until yesterday had been
through Douglas at night and he noted
improvement in the appearance of the
station in She greenery in sight.
Douglas has a good front door" said
the railway man.

"MonarchicaI" Pomp
Is Banned In Mexico

Because Mexico is a modern repub-
lie and since the watctwords Of
democracy are equality and simplicity,
according to President Gales he has
signed a decree abolishing much OF
the Srlendor and pomp- described as
befitting only monarchy that has
for the last half century characterized
the Mexican governments dealing
with foreign diplomatic corps. In-
cidentaIly the government is saving
money, he states.
Total elimination of public recep-
tions for newly arrived diplomatic
representatives, except in the cases
of ambassadors, is found in the de-
cree. Representatives of the foreign
office will not longer be given special
trains or special cars in which to
travel to the border to meet incoming
envoyS under the terms. Large Off
cial banquets and Teeept iells ere like
wise banned.

CLOSE TWO CITY
SCHOOLS AND ASKS
FOR VACCINATION

Action by the school board taken
after a conference between members
of the board, Supt. j. e. Carlson and
DR.. E. w. Adamson, school physician,
and following conference between
DR.. Adamson and county health
authorities yesterday closed the
schools at A avenue and at Sunnyside
for the announced period OF Two
weeks. The period of closing might
be longer and it might be less than
that period. Meanwhile, the author
tiles made urgent request that par
ents would see to it at once that all
the children who have not previously
been vaccinated be vaccinated
The closing of the schools came
as the result Of seven cases OF
smallpox being reported in the
Sunnyside district. None of the cases
are said to be serious but all are
diagnosed as fully developed and
clearly marked cases.
Superintendent Carlson stated last
night that it would be well for par
ents to observe the request for vac
cination and thus play safety in the
present situation LET it be under
stood that there is no cause for any
alarm about a general epidemic ii
people use due caution and use ap-
proved preventive methods, said
Supt. Carlson. 1--WE closed the schools
that we're closed because we were
convinced that there was a danger
of several being exposed if the schools
were continued until the quarantine
period has been passed. We do not
expect it will be necessary to close
other schools and certainly it will not
be necessary if the quarantine regu-
lations are observed. 1 am assured
that the health officers propose the
most rigid quarantine restrictions
with guards, even going to the extent
of closing certain streets, and if that
is done it seems improbable that there
will be much spread of the disease

VACCINATION Is
GREATLY URGED
BY DEPARTMENT
Time Of Year When There
Is a Danger Of Small
Pox, Doctors Claim

Warning has been issued by the
county health department that now
is a good time for people to see
that all unvaccinated persons get
vaccinated. 1t is reported Dy health
officers that there have been cases
of smallpox discovered in the county
and with people moving about quite
generally, as spring arrives, it is
claimed by the health officers that
the only port of safety is general
and complete vaccination of those
who have not been vaccinated
One account states that there have
been seven cases Of smallpox dis
covered at Whitewater That report
is made on the authority or DR..
r. H. Durfee, the health officer for
that district DR.. George NJ Dunno,
health officer for the Douglas district,
stated yesterday that he mad dis
covered seven cases in this district,
all outside of the city Of Douglas,
and that he had at once placed
them under rigid quarantine and
special guard and that he did not
expect further outbreak OF the disease
here, as he believed the cases now
isolated probably were found in time
to control the situation but he
issued a warning for vaccination
The local health officer announced
that he would vaccinate any who
might ask it without any charge for
the work if they would call at the
health office in the city hall between
IL a. m. and noon any day except
Sunday. He strongly urges, he said,
that everybody not already vaccinat-
ed, either come to the city hall and
get vaccinated or else go to their
usual physician and have the vaccine
administered
