Fight in Prospect
Over Order for
Vaccination Here
Anti-Varrinationistj Declare
Tlify Will Not Submit to
Order Say No Emer
gency Exist."
City Health Commissioner rinto
reiterated yesterday his determina
linn to roniprll smallpox vaccination
of Omahans in the public schools or
employed in business houses.
Leaders of anti-varcinalion senti.
incut declare tliry will not be vac
cinated. Herein is the basis for a bitter re
newal of the fiRht of former years
tner vaccination.
Dr. J'into sent a letter to 300 busi
ness firms and other institution yes
terday, ordering Vaccination of all
employes.
He further announced that vac
cination of public school pupils
xvould be ordered this afternoon.
"This means compulsory vaccina
tion." he announced.
W. E. Reed, president of the board
of education, in a statement typical
of the attitude of anti-vacciiiationists,
said.
"My boy is a pupil at Central
High school, lie will not be vac
cinated and be will not be taken out
of school. I shallsee to that."
Anti-vaccinationists claim no
emergency exists to justify a com
pulsory vaccination order.
Dr. Pinto's Letter.
Dr. Pinto's letter to business firms
.Vend:
' "You will take the necessary steps
at once to have all persons in your
employ vaccinated against small pox.
-"This is made necessary by a
were epidemic of the virulent type
of the disease now existing in Kan
sas City and Denver.
"The department will lend every
possible aid to assist you in speed
ily carrying out the instructions con
tained in this letter." '
"This means compulsory vaccina
tion," announced the health com
missioner yesterday, when asked
for a definite statement of his ac
tion. Victim Ordered Isolated.
While Dr. Pinto was explaining
the situation Gladys Robinette, 12.
1118 North Sixteenth street, walked
into the health office for examina
tion. The girl had been sent from
Cass school. Dr. Pinto pronounced
the , ease as positive smallpox, or
dered the victim isolated at once and
issued instructions for a general vac-.
cination of pupils at Cass school.
The health commissioner stated
that only one case of smallpox was
reported in Omaha during Kovem
bct. "We want to prevent the situation
irom becoming serious here," he said.
'I received information that eight
died of smallpox in Denver last Fri
day and health officials of Kansas
City report that one of every three
stricken with smallpox in that city
died from the disease during the epi
demic which now is raging in that
city."
Penalty Announced.
Dr. Pinto announced that persons
who have not been successfully vac
cinated during the last three years
must be vaccinated under his order
just issued. Failure to comply, he ex
plained, will result in enforced ab
sence from employment for a period
of 18 days. He also stated that chil
" Iren in schools who do not comply
i-ill be required to remain out of
chool for three weeks.
"We must have some penalty if we
.-xpect our orders to be observed,"
said the health commissioner.
Persons unable to bear the expense
of vaccination will be treated at the
tealth office in the city hall without
liarge.
. TePoel Gives Opinion.
L. J. TePoel, city attorney, repre
sented the city in litigation several
years ago where protestants sought
to restrain the health commissioner
'rom executing general vaccination
rders.
"The general police powers of the
state give the health commissioner
authority to require vaccination when
an epidemic- exists or seriously
threatens a community," said Mr.
TePoel. "The question of whether
;he health commissioner has author
ity to require vaccination before an
epidemic exists here has never been
litigated. As a matter of fact, com
pulsory vaccination does not exist.
The question of whether the health
commissioner can enforce the alter
aative of absence from work or
school for a stated period would rest
on actual conditions if the case
should be taken into court"
Will Meet Opposition.
Members of the committee of pro
test are taking cognizance of the
health commissioner's latest order.
This committee is opposed to com
pulsory vaccination and supports, its
members state, the principle of medi
cal freedom as against the system
of state medicine.
Among the leaders of the com
mittee of protest are W. E. Reed,
president of the Board of Educa
tion; Rav J. Abbott, Irving F. Bax
ter, W. H. Hatteroth, E. C Hod
' tier and J. B. Haynes.

Thousands Pay
Final Tribute
To Whittlesey
Colonel Averill, Commander
Of 308th Infantry, Says
Death of War Hero Was
"Battle Casualty."
New York, Dec. 5. In a simple
service, half religious, half military,
more than 10,000 persons last night
paid tribute to the memory of Lieut.
Col. C. W. Whittlesey, commander
of the famous "Lost Battalion," who
disappeared from a vessel bound for
Havana, a week ago yesterday.
"His death was a battle casualty.
The scars of conflict or the wounds
of battle are not always of the flesh.
We, of the regular army have seen
too often the results of mental
strain."
Such, with a few wojds to illus
trate Colonel Whittlesey's sensitive
nature, which he said shrank from
the harrowing remembrance of the
events in which he had played so
heroic a part, was the eulogy of Col.
N. K. Averill, commander of 308th
infantry.
He told how Colonel Whittlesey
won fame by telling the Germans to
"Go to hell," and of the emotional
torture he endured while watching
his men slowly perish frorn hunger,
thirst and their wounds. Continua
tion of the same mental suffering
since the war, through ministering to
suffering survivors, he said, hastened
the breakdown.
"Major Whittlesey," he said, "not
only, ignored the German command
er's message demanding surrender,
but he ordered his signal men to hide
the white panel, the flag used to sig
nal airplanes, for fear that the enemy
would take it for a flag of truce."
Four Nebraskans Present
When Congress Convenes
Washington, Dec. 5. (Special
Telegram.) Roll call in the sen
ate Monday disclosed that Senator
Hitchcock was present. His col
league, Senator Norris, is not be
ing expected back from his visit
to Nebraska until the latter part pf
the week.
Three members of the Nebraska
delegation in the house were pres
ent at the opening session, McLaugh
lin, Evans and Andrews. Congress
men Jefferis and Kinkaid, who are
now in Nebraska, are expected in
Washington early next week, while
Representative R'eavis may remain in
the home state for several weeks
longer.
Grand Island Mayor Sees
Need for Charity Board
Grand Island, Neb., Dec. 5. (Spe
cial.) If charity cases such as have
recently developed here continue.
Mayor Ellsberry says he will call
a mass meeting for the purpose of
organizing an associated charities.
Chief of Police Martin Saturday
found a young woman whose mother
wassa member of the Soldiers' home,
who had no money, no work and no
opportunity to work. The county
board's committee for such matters
felt unable to do anything. The Y.
W. C A. had no place in which to
house the girl or provide her with
work, and the department declares
that appeals to the Red Cross in such
cases as this are in vain, because of
restrictions in that organization.
The chief had, at one stage of the
proceedings, ordered the girl to leave
the city.
"Why send me to some place
where I have no acquaintances at all
Land no better prospects to get
work?" the girl pleaded, witii tears
in her eyes.
Out of their own personal funds,
Mayor Ellsberry and Chier Martin
provided food and shelter for the
girl for a few days uutil a home was
found for her in the country.
The world's daily consumption of
coal has been reckoned at 1,Z00,000
tons.

it's Ilia only way to arrive
rlsht-slda-up-wlih-cara at
Christinas Kit,
Budgetn.
As I sapped Into the Bran
deis Store, Sixteenth and
Pouplas streets entrance, my
head was buzzing with figures
like "(my own savings, plus
dad's allowance, plus all 1 can
coax mother to charge, plus
possible cash gifts), equal
sum total of t'hrlntmas appro
priation; and this divided by
(Nan, plus Bud, plus Nell,
plus the boys, plus mother
and dad, various uncles,
runts, cousins and friends),
finally bolls down to the
amount I can spend for each
presrnf." But I dismissed It
all rUht there at tha door, for
I can't shop with a liedache,
and figures always give me
one.
Why. Worry?
One of the nicest soothing
syrurs for the Christmas
money hysterics can be found
on the price tickets of the
Ivory pieces at the Jewelry
Counter, just inside tha door.
Any one of half a dozen girls
1 know would be glad tp have
a piece or two added to the
set already "started." And
you don't have to buy the
whole thing, you know.
Vanity Pieces.
In silver and gold are to be
found at tiie same counter.
Beautiful as they are to look
upon, they are one of the
most practical of gifts, for
one would as well forget a
handkerchief as to forget the
rouge and lip stick!
The China Floor.
What a treasure house of
gifts may be found on the
Fifth Floor. The art and In
genuity of all the world Is
represented in this display of
china and glassware. Italian
potteries, expressing the art
love which lived in the brown
S fingers that fashioned them
under sunny skies. The
quaint, squatty shapes of Hol
land pottery, with its sooth
ing shade of old Dutch blue,
relieved with touches of sub
dued green. And there's pot
tery from Japan and from
Mexico and from Bohemia,
and all of it is so wonderfully
beautiful I felt as I looked at
them a new meaning to the
old words: "Surely not in
vain their substance from the
common earth was ta'en."
Romance.
The blue Willoware brings
from old England all the ro
mance of young hearts and
love birds pictured among the
willows of its familiar pat
tern. A breakfast set of this
ware will be the very thing
for Alice and Jim. With them
Christmas isn't very far from
June, after all. Then there's
Japanese ware, reminding
one, with its quaint and beau
tiful decorations, of ell the
legends of the little Flowry
Kingdom.
Half Price.
I found the sale of high
grade chinaa a real boon, for
I got a wonderful pieea of
gold encrusted Plckard Chins
for Aunt Lou. And I got it at
half price! The sale at half
price of all Minton Pickard
and other fine chinas contin
ues throughout the month.
A Wido Field.
I'm sorry I have so few more
shopping days before Christ
mas, fcr I haven't taken any
real advantag-a of the sugges
tions offered in the many de
partments. I must get hos
iery, gloves, handkerchiefs on
the Main Floor, several
things from the Art and
Oriental departments, on the
Third Floor. I want to visit
the Muslin Underwear de
partment, too. for I glimpsed
some pretty things aa I went
past. A tea wagon, from the
Furniture Department on the
Seventh Floor will please
Cousin Maude. And every
day befere Christmas new
things present themselves In
all parts of the store. I have
never faced a season of
Christmas . shopping with
greater anticipation of Joy.
