COUNCILS DEAL WITH'
v SMALL-POX SITUATION
After a Most Animated Meeting, In
Which Common" Council Pitched
' z Into Select Member' for JNot Con-
' firming the Board of Health Ap-'
;,polntees, It Wns'Voted to Sustain
-Mayor O'Neill in What He Had
Done Towards Employing a I(oct6r'
,: and Nurse.
' At a special Joint meeting ot cotin
cIIm lust night, wjilch, be It candidly
said, wild fur from In keeping with the'
gravity of the Hltuutlon, It was voted
to sustain the action of Mayor O'Neill
I ln employing n doctor and a nurse to
' look lifter the Thompsons, the two
smallpox patients, mid in providing tho
family with food, etc '
.Councils ulso udopted n-mollon, which
emanated from common council, direct
ing the judiciary and legislation com
mlltcu of select council to net In con
junction with Sanitary Policeman Mof
fltt" in continuing the precautions and
provisions taken by the, mayor in treat
ing and confining- theI,dlseuso.
.'What Mayor O'Neill' did after the
outbreak occurred, and which councils
at this meeting sustained nnd directed
to be continued us the committee saw
fit, was the employment of a physician,
at a compensation of ,$20 per day; the
employment of a nurse, nt $IiO per
week! the "employment of n. night and a
day watchman, and providing the af
flicted family with necessary eatables.
Aa Indicated, before this action was
taken, after an hour was wasted in an
animated discussion, an exchange of
feelings and at times u display of lev
ity which. It would seem, should have
no place In a meeting which was called
to deal' with a grave emergency, one
which so affected the public welfare,
regardless of tho personnl feeling of
the members.
The failure of select council, or cer
tain members thereof, to either confirm
or reject Mayor CNefll's appointees ot
the board of health, was the clement
that was responsible for the disturb
ance. The members of common coun
cil were of the one mind that It was
the delinquency of select council that
bi ought them face to face with the
task of dealing with smallpox, and
pitched into the select branch for all
thoy were worth. They sought to throw
the whole burden on the select men,
claiming that since common council had
nothing to do with the appointing or
the formation of the board of health,
it should not now be compelled to act,
when It was due to the failure of select
council to act on the mayor's ap
pointees that this meeting, asking lor
councils to act as a, board of health,
had been called.
The common members fairly bristled
with' opposition to the suggestion that
they deal with the situation and they
Mood united In every subterfuge that
was put forth to throw the work onto !
select council. They succeeded, finally,
after defeating several motions from
select council, to Hdjourn, and had the
work put on the shoulders ot the judic
iary and legislation committee' of se
lect. Tlie members of this committee
are John P. Mannlon, Or. "VV. V.
Pletcher and John B. Davis.
-Mr. Humphrey, of the Second, select
council, was made chairman, on motion
ot Dr. Fletcher.
After Mr. Humphrey had taken his
seat, there arose a misunderstanding as
to uie object ot the meeting. Common
council members would not brook the
suggestion that councils were to act
the part of the board of health; while
Jlr. Mannlon. of select, explained that,
as he comprehended Mayor O'Neill, tho
purpose was to draft an ordinance ap
propriating money from among spverat
funds to defray the expense of this
contingency.
Mr. Thompson opened up the fusil
ado on select council by shut ply con
demning the holding up of the mayor's
appointees of the board of health, and
said he was willing to take some ac
tion "to stop this injustice, when dis
eases like smallpox were flying around."
Mr. Masters said he could see no
reason for common council taking any
action In this matter, since only select
council hnd anything to do with the
health board. It was clearly select
councils business and duty to deal,
alone, with this situation,
Mr. Stone said councilman had enough
responsibilities without acting as a
hoard of health. It was only right to
place tho blame where It belonged on
select council.
Dr. Fletcher's voice was the first to
be hoard from select council's side. He
concurred In what the commoners said
about the delinquency In confirming the
appointees. It was a dangerous busi
ness, this half-w.ty. suspension-like
process, and could see no eai-on why
Ills body, select council, did not act on
the names two mouths ago. He be
lieved a largo portion of select council
vTould take action on these names nt
any time; nnd he would be willing to
vote for the drafting of un ordinance
tto make the necessary appropriation In
.this rase, provided the other members
of select council would meet with hlin
tomorrow night to confirm the mayor's
board of health appointees.
Mr. Munition , said It was out of order
to discuss the board of health status ut
this 'meeting, and to cut tho discussion
short, he moved that an ordinance be
dratted to appropriate money to meet
the expenses of the small-pox cases.
Later he made the motion rend as an
'approval ofc the action of the mayor.
This was adopted,
Then the question of appointing a
,eoinmltteo to continue thu wofk In con
junction with tne neiiiin omcer came up.
Mr. Mnsteis moved thai three l'noin-
beiB be appointed from select council.
Tho motion was carried and In tho
meantime a motion to adjourn was
made by Mr. Mannlon. It was voted
down by the commoners.
Chairman Humphrey sought to ap
point the committee of three from select
council, but all declined to act except
Mr. Davis.
Mr. Nenloii moved that a committee
of live be appointed from common coun
cil. Here It was that the levity took
place. Tho motion was voted down by
a vole of 12 to 3, Nenlon, Whitfield and
Clark voting for It.
Air. Masters then moved that the ju
diciary and legislation committee of se
lect be appointed to act. This motion
was ubout to be put, when Dr. Fletcher,
of select, moved to adjourn, The lat
ter motion was lost, however. Masters'
motion was carried and the judlclury
committee, Messrs. Mannlon, Fletcher
and Davis are to act with the sanitary
policeman.
Though common council strongly
prodded select council to act on the
mayor's appointees, it was unsuccess
ful, and the board of health Is still an
absent factor.
An effort was made to have select
council meet after the joint session to
act on the appointees, but it was not
successful.
No Change in Patients.
There is no change In the small-pox
situation. The older of the two pa
tients continues on the road to recovery,
while the younger one, whose condition
Is critical, Is about the same. Ills Is
the confluent type, the most dangerous

From the Wllliamsport Gazette and Bul
letin. Mayor Laedleln. was seated in his
office Monday alternoon, going over
some official documents, when four
sleek-appearing strangers sauntered
slowly Into the room. The dignified
head of tlie municipality looked up
from his desk, and perfunctorily re
quested them to be seated. One of tlie
visitors appioached the mayor, and
said:
"Mister Mayor, we are experts in
palmistry and want a license to prac
tice in your city. We are game birds
and on tho square, and having operated
in all the principal cities of Europe, as
well as America, can furnish all tho
necessary credentials and recommen
dations to prove our reliability nnd ex
pertness In the profession a profession,
sir, In which wc excel."
Mayor Laedleln eyed the visitors
closely, and then Informed them tliat
he did not believe In palmistry and
could not license them to practice such
a profession. He said, furthermore, that
not long since a well-known member of
the bar hud bwn palmed out of a dia
mond stud, nnd still later another had
parted with a well-lllled wallet through
tho agency of similar practitioners, and
under the circumstances he would not
countenance such 11 doubtful business
in this city.
"Rut. Mr. Mnyor," said tho spokes
man, "we are strictly on tlie .square."
"That makes no difference," replied
the mayor. "We don't want any of
your palmistry In this city." Then tho
mayor sat down and tried to resume
his work. He shifted uneasily In his
chair, and manifested tho fact that he
was being bored. But tho palmists
were not to bo put off so easily, They
Insisted on a. license, and finally tho
mayor said he had no authority to Issue
one, oven If he desired, "Go to the city
solicitor," ho said, "and get a written
opinion as to my right, nnd then I will
consider your application."
"But, Your Honor," replied the
spokesman, "the city solicitor can bo
easily fixed. We will toss him a hun
dred nnd he'll slvo a satisfactory opin
ion and you'll have to Issue the license.
Now, why not take tho hundred your
self" "Sir!" thundered tho mayor, arising
quickly.
"Now, don't get excited, Mr, Mayor,"
said tho chief palmist, "for, you sec, wo
linvo had thepo experiences before.
Hero you have a chance to turn a hun
dred yourself, whereby if we go to tho
city solicitor and ho should divvy with
you, why your sharo could not be over
fifty, sir!"
By this tlmo the mayor was making
a movement as If to summon the police,
when 0110 of ihe other palmists stepped
lu front and Impeded his passage, at
the sumo time loqucsting an oppor
tunity to read tlie official's palm.
Taking his hand, he said: "Why, how
do you do, Mr. Mayor!"
"Who are you?" quelled tho mayor,
becoming suspicious that he was being
made tho victim of a practical Joke.
"Let 1110 Introduce you to Mayor
Price, of Wllkes-Barre," said the sleek
palmist, who, by tho way, was 10. R.
W, Srarle, of Scranton,- clerk of tlie
United States court, and he presented
the original applicant for the palmistry
license, lu turn he Introduced John
Shea, of Wllkes-Bnrro, and Superin
tendent of Public Buildings Hcllly, ot
ci anion, and there were peals ot
laughter, and hearty handshakings all
around.
"That is one on me, gentlemen," said
Muyor Lajdlein, nnd he Jed the palm4
Ists out nnd there was an exchange of)
tlie compliment made famous by thd
governor of South Carolina. In his InJ
tercourse with the governor of North.
Carolina. Mayor Laedleln entertained
his visitois with notable hospitality
during the rest of the day.
