NEW RULES FOR QUARANTINE
Board of Health Hai Meeting and Adopts
More Stringent Regulations.
CONDUCT OF ATTORNEY IS CRITICISED
Mayor Threatens to Ha Him Ar
rested as Soon as lie Has Heeov
ere from rreaeet Case
of Smallpox.
The Uoard of Health at a special meet
ing yesterday afternoon decided that the
prevalence of smallpox In tha city de
manded more stringent measures to check
its spread as far as possible. As a result
of the meeting the Board of Education
will be railed upon to enforce the regula
tion of the State Board of Health requiring
the vaccination of all children attending the
public schools who have not been "effi
ciently" vaccinated within the last three
years; business men will be advised to
require their employes to be vaccinated to
avoid as far as can be the pbMbllity of
suspension of business by necessary quar
antine. More stringent quarantine regula
tions and rules were, adopted, and to ensure
their proper enforcement a special officer
will be detailed for the purpose.
Quarantine Regulations.
The quarantine regulations and rules de
cided upon are substantially as follows:
Quarantine period for smallpox shall be
foi ty uays In each and every case where
the patient Is not removed to the detention
hospital.
In cases where the patient Is removed to
the hospital the perlixl ot quarantine for
premises und exposed persons shall be sev
enteen uays.
As soon as a case, or suspected case, of
smallpex la declared or found a quarantine
notice shall be served in wining upon the
head of the family or othvr person re
sponsible, requiring all Inmates of the
house to remain In until turther notice
and prohibiting other persons from enter
ing the house.
If the case Is as reported, smallpox, the
house shall be immediately placarded
"Smallpox."
Inquiry shall at once be made as to the
whereabouts of any absent members of the
household so quarantined and if they have
been exposed to this disease they shall be
promptly returned to the house und quar
antined. It shall be the duty of the attendant
physician, on ascertaining the character of
such disease, to notify the city clerk
within twelve hours. In the event of the
failure of the physician to give such no
tice it shall be the duty of the head of
the household to notify the citv clerk, and
the failure of the attendant bhyslclan to
?;ive the notice as required shall not re
leve the head of the household of his re
sponsibility. All children from families where quaran
tine Is maintained must be excluded from
school and public gatherings until, such
quarantine la raised and must bt fore being
readmitted to school present a certificate of
release from the health cifllcer, approved by
the president of the Board of Health.
An officer shall be detailed to make such
dally visits to cases under quarantine as
will Insure the proper compliance with all
quarantine regulations. And, further, It
snail be the duty of this officer to person
ally supervise ail fumigation and disinfec
tion of premises before release, from quar
antine. Formaldehyde must be used in all In
stances In disinfecting quarantined prem
ises. Mayor Is 'Wratbr.
The meeting yesterday urternoon was
caHed by Mayor Macrae, who explained
that the situation demanded more stringent
quarantine regulations and their proper en
forcement by the Board of Health. "The
people generally," he said, "had an er
roneous Idea ns to the. rules governing
smallpox and other contagious diseases, and
the result was that the city physician had
more troubles than'the car of Russia, This
board should adopt rules and . regulations
such aa the situation demands and then
see that they are duly enforced. To insure
their enforcement it will be necessary to
provide a special officer for the purpose.
Such officer will not only see that the reg
ulations are enforced, but will be required
to watch for and report all violations. The
law should be enforced and all persons
found violating quarantine regulations
should be dealt with as- the law provides."
In connection with his recommendation
that all persona violating quarantine reg
ulations be dealt with as the law provides
Mayor Macrae cited the rase of a certain
attorney, who It was reported had at the
time his home was quarantined by reason
of his daughter, being 111 with smallpox,
with his wife removed to a hotel, and ten
days later had himself been seised with the
disease. "I am fully determined that aa
soon as this lawyer In question is released
from quarantine he shall be brought before
the court and dealt with as the law pro
vides for wilfully violating theitquarantlne
regulations," said the mayorv
. What School Board Will Do.
When President Hees of the Board of
Education waa seen last evening he had
not learned of the action of the Board of
Health. To enforce the regulation regard
ing vaccination, he thought would un
doubtedly be met with a storm of protests
from parents who were opposed to such a
course. - Mr. Hess said that . as soon as
formal notice ot the action of the Board
of Health was served on him, he would
call a special meeting of the Board of Ed
ucation. He said:
"I am not prepared at this time to say
what the school board will do, but I pre
sume we will have to comply with the
regulation, as far as possible. J am not
posted on the law and do not know whether
a pupil whose parents refuse to permit
them to be vaccinated can be kept from at
tending school. To enforce the regulation
will undoubtedly bring forth a storm of
protests, but I do not see' how we can
avoid obeying the rules of the State Board
of Health. I believe tha local health board
In taking the action It did acted for the
best interests of the community."

ONCE CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER
Charge Against Hint Claimed to Be
Strletly Technical aad He Was
Mot Punished la Any
- Manner.
WASHINGTON' Feb. 14.-The second
chapter of the episode between Mr. Sulli
van of Massachusetts and Mr. Hearst of
New York occurred In the house today
when Mr. Sullivan again took the floor on
a question of privilege and related the
circumstance leading up to the Indictment
and conviction of his father and himself
for manslaughter. In decided contrast with
the remarks of yesterday, when the two
men heaped upon each other epithets and
charges of a serious nature, Mr. Sulli
van's statement today was devoid ot any
further attack on his colleague and was
a straight recitation of the occurrence re
ferred to by Mr. Hearst yesterday. Mr.
Sullivan admitted the charge, but said that
he himself had been technically guilty and
was permitted to leave the court a free
man without serving a day' Imprison
ment or being subjected to a fine. His
father had been Imprisoned a year and a
half, but on the Introduction of new evi
dence, which presented a grave doubt of
guilt, his father had been pardoned.
Mr. Sullivan' statement was listened to
with marked attention and at Its con
clusion he was warmly applauded, many
members leaving their seats and shaking
his hand. Mr. Hearst waa not present
during the time he spoke.
The balance of the day was devoted to
consideration of the naval appropriation
bill, Mr. Littlefleld speaking at length re
garding the necessity for keeping appro
priations within the limits of the revenues
of tha country.
Mr. Sullivan Explains.
The Sullivan-Hearst episode had another
airing In the house today, when Mr. Sul
livan, again rising, to a question of per
sonal privilege, declared that on yesterday
Mr. Hearst had ignored his offer to make
a statement concerning his connection with
the homicide to which Mr. Hearst alluded.
Mr. Sullivan admitted it to be true that
on November 24, 18X5, his father, Eugeno J.
Sullivan, and himself were convicted of
manslaughter in the superior court of Mid
dlesex county, Massachusetts.
Mr. Sullivan said:
The case arose in this manner. My father
was the sole proprietor of a licensed hotel
known as the Central house in Cambridge,
Muks. An intoxicated man, wno was not a
guest and had not entered the hotel that
uay, came to the main door, and my father,
seeing him, shut the Uoor against him.
Thereupon the man went around to the
back door and broke a window. My father
went out upon the street, took the man by
the collar and demanded that he pay for
the damage he had done. The man re
sponded by striking him and a fight ensued.
It is a fact, and one that has never been
denied, that no weapons of any kind were
used by either side. I came upon the scene
at a time when my father was being over
powered by this man, and took the part of
my father In the struggle. The Jury found
that the man was knocked down by a blow
from my father's fist and struck his head
against the curbstone and became uncon
scious. There was testimony In the 'trial
of the case that he never recovered Con
sciousness and died some two days after the
assault. At the conclusion of the trlirl my
father waa sentenced to three years in the
house of correction. 'The district attorney
of his own motion statod to the court that
he would ask no sentence agulnst me, as I
was then but a bo?,'' 17 years old, In my
first year at the Boston' Law school and
without any moral gillft"'!n the matter at
all; that I was held solely because I Wns
present and was a party concerned In the
assault and was only technically guilty.
Accordingly, the court plftced my case on
file. I was not fined 1 cent nor Imprisoned
one minute. After eighteen months of my
father's term had been served the gov
ernor's council of Massachusetts pardoned
him, and its action wss due to the fact that
two witnesses who did not appear at the
trial In the. court came before the gov
ernor's council and testified one thst he
had gone with Us deceased the next day to
a hotel in Boston, where he obtained llrpior,
and thnt the deceased came back with him
that night Intoxicated. The other witness
testified that during the night the deceased
f ot up In his house and while proceeding
oward the yard which adjoined the
premises' fell down a flight of stairs, was
then picked up unconscious, brought to his
bed and remained there without regaining
consciousness until he died. This raised a
doubt In the minds of the governor's coun
cil an to whether the fnll upon the curb
stone had caused the man's death or the
fall down the stairs, most of them Inclining
to the view that It was the fall down the
stsirs which produced the fracture of the
skull that resulted In uneonsclousness from
which he never recovered.
"I am constrained to say, however," added
Mr. Sullivan, "that If my father were now
alive and he were to be attacked in my
presence, I would come again to his de
fense." All the facts, he said, were fully
published In all the newspaper In the city
of Boston at the time and were before his
constituents when he wa elected to the
Massachusetts senate In 1000 and 1901 and
to the congress of the United States in
1902 and 1904, "and it wa not," he said In
conclusion, "until twenty years after the
alleged offense that any Individual was
found who felt that it was necessary or
proper to allude to the circumstances of the
case."
Mr. Sullivan received loud applause from
both sides of the chamber when he de
clared that he walked out of court a free
man and had not been Imprisoned a day
nor fined a cent. The applause broke out
afresh when he declared that' under similar
circumstances If his father were alive he
would go to his defense. He took his
seat amid renewed applause, several mem
bers going to his. seat and shaking his
hand.
After Mr. Shober (N. Y.), also rising to a
question of privilege, had expressed the
proud feeling of thosa who have advocated
the principles advanced by Mr. Hearst, Mr.
Hemenway (Ind.) reported the sundry civil
appropriation bill and Immediately there
after the naval appropriation bill wa taken
up, with an understanding that eight hours
shall be devoted to general debate and
that the house shall convene at 11 a. m.
each day while the bill Is under considera
tion. Mr. Foss (111.), chairman of the commit
tee on naval affairs, explained the bill,
saying among other things that the amend
ment carried by tt, $100,070,079, was mod
erate, taking Into consideration all the cir
cumstances which the committee had be
fore It.
Anticipating a deficiency at the end of the
next fiscal year of from $30,000,000 to $90,000,
000 If all appropriation bill reported become
1st. Mr. Littlefleld (Me.). Inquired of Mr.
Foss If It was wise or prudent to appro
priate In excess of revenue.
Mr. Foss replied that on general prin
ciples congress ought to appropriate ac
cording to revenues.
The house at 4:55 p. m. adjourned until
tomorrow at 1 o'clock.

bill and began consideration of the bill
milking appropriation for the District of
Columbia. The Hansbrough amendment to
the agricultural bill relative to drawbacks
on wheat was agreed to after an extended
debate in which tariff questions figured to
considerable extent.
The usual three hours was given to the
trial of the Impeachment charges against
Judge Charles Swayne. In connection with
that case the senate decided to take no
testimony on the point of the Inconvenience
In the Judge's residence outside of his dis
trict; also that Judge Bwayne's statement
to the house committee should not be used
as evidence In the trial.
Immediately after the senate convened
today the agricultural appropriation bill
was taken up, the Hansbrough amendment.
Intended to be a legislative Interpretation
of the portions of the Dlngley law relating
to the duty on wheat, being first considered.
It declares that paragraph 234 of that act,
which Imposes a specific duty on wheat,
shall not be held to be affected by the pro
vision of section 80 of the same act, which
provides for a drawback on Imported
articles used In domestic manufacture.
Mr. McCumber supported the Hans
brough amendment, saying the effect. of the
decision Is to establish free trade and to
bring the price of American wheat to th
Canadian level. v
Mr. Pettus made the point that the
amendment wa out of order, remarking,
however, that the effect of the drawback
wa to defraud the farmers and rob th
United States treasury of Its dues. HI
point was not sustained.
An amendment suggested by Mr. Allison
striking out the portion construing the In
tention of the Dingley law and confining
It to the operation of the law wa ac
cepted. "Will the senator who had much to ,do
with framing the law say that It wa In
tended to nullify the provision for a duty
on wheat t" asked Mr. Hansbrough.
Mr. Allison replied that "It was Intended
that the drawback feature of the tariff
should be greatly .enlarged." Ho added that
the drawback privilege greatly enlarged
manufacturing exports. He waa willing
that the wheat growers should have the
relief sought, but did not want tho provi
sion made general.
Mr. Hansbrough's amendment was agreed
to without further debate. As adopted the
amendment reads:
That paragraph 234 of tbe act of July 24,
18H7. entitled "An act to provide revenue for
the government and to encourage the indus
tries of the United States shall not be held
to be affected by the provisions of section
30 of said act."
The bill as amended was then passed
and the District of Columbia appropriation
taken up.
After fifteen pages of the district bill
had been read, the bill defining the boun
dary line between South Dakota and Ne
braska was passed.
The senate at 6:32 p. m. went Into execu
tive session and at 6:35 adjourned.

ADAMS RESTS HIS CASE
Peabody Will Have Five Day for
Rebuttal and Committee Will
Report March 1.
DENVER, Feb. 14.-Oovernor Alva
Adams closed his defense In the contest
for the office of governor tonight and to
morrow the ' contestor, Former Governor
James H. Peabody, will begin the presenta
tion of evidence In rebuttal, for which
Ave days are allowed under the rules gov
erning the contest. The legislative com
mittee hearing the contest is required to
report It Andlngs to the legislature March
1, and on March 2 the contest will be
decided. This afternoon the attorneys were
Instructed by Chairman William H. Grif
fith to hanT their briefs to the committee
at the conclusion of the hearing of testi
mony, and these will be considered by tho
committee In arriving at It conclusions.
Practically the entire afternoon wa taken
up In listening to report of democratic ex
perts on ballot boxes from Huerfano
count;'.
Cross-examination developed that the ex
perts believed that many of the ballots
written In two or three handwritings In
the various precincts were written by
clerks and Judges In assisting Illiterates
although the poll books, save In one or two
cases, failed to show that any assistance
was .ven.
It will probably be admitted by th dem
ocrats that these ballots were written by
election officials, but will also make the
claim that they were cast by the officials
without the actual presence of the alleged
voter.
Three experts reported on fifteen pre
cincts In Huerfano county. They testified
that 1.US8 republican and 162 democratic
ballot out of a total of 2.407 votes were
written by two or three persons. Peabody
