IV _ MONDAY EVENING, j Sunday Schools and the Disease Rules Members of the Legislature who spent Sunday studying the bills on the calendars discovered that the Walsh bill, providing a code for handling communicable diseases, contains a provision that superintendents of Sunday schools as well as the heads of public and parochial schools must 1 co-operate with health authorities in enforcing the law. No one suffering from contagious or infeptlous disease can attend any public, parochial or Sunday school and the superintendents and teachers are required to exclude them as well as to report to tlpe public health au thorities any pupil who shows any unusual rash or sore throat. These pupils are to be listed and reported the day they are excluded. Tn return the health boards are required to re port not only to school and Sunday school superintendents names and resi dences of all persons in their com munities who may happen to have sickness of a communicable nature. The penalty proposed against any Sunday school or other superintend ent failing to obey the law is to be a fine of from S2O to SIOO or imprison ment from ten to thirty days or both. The law is very sweeping in regard to persons who may offend and in addi tion to superintendents or teachers, sextons, janitors, parents or guardians are made liable.

OLDEST NATIVE-BORN HARRISBURGER DIES [Continued from First Page.] ley, just above Kockville, long before Harrisburg was founded. He was a man greatly interested in everything pertaining to his native city and had attained distinction as an engineer of construction in the Pennsylvania rail road's early days when ho returned to Harrisburg to devote his time to his business interests. Mr. Roberts was the son of Col. John Roberts, prothonotary of the county and for many years one of the leading cit'»ens of the community. He was a soldier In the war of 1812 and a prominent attorney. His son en tered his father's office and later was connected with the office of the county recorder. Alexander Roberts, how ever, turned from Blackstone to science and studying engineering took a place with the engineer corps that was constructing the Pennsylvania railroad across the mountains and in the Pittsburgh district. He had charge of important work at Altoona and built many o£ the lines of the Penn sylvania system in the vicinity of Pitts burgh. Associated with him in engi neering work were men who later became famous in transportation, in cluding Thomas A. Scott, later presi dent of the Pennsylvania. , Owing to business interests here Mr. Roberts gave up his work on the rail road, greatly to the regret of the offi cials of the company who urged him to remain, and returned to Harris burg. He married Miss Charlotte E. Geiger, a member of one of the old families in the county in 1854 and be came actively interested in several en terprises. maintaining his interest in engineering. For a time there were few matters calling ror engineering knowledge in this vicinity for which he was not commissioned. Hallway Company Secretary When the Harrisburg City Passen ger Railway company was organized he became a stockholder and served its secretary for many years, retaining ollicial connection with the company until his death. This is the company which gave Harrisburg its first street car system and which is the parent company ol the trolley lines which now cover the city and reach many surrounding towns. Mr. Roberts in vested in a number of manufacturing enterprises and aided in their develop ment. He was connected with the Harrisburg Burial Case and other companies. Probably no one in Harrisburg had a longer connection with religious work. In 1843 he became a member I of Market Square Church an-! took an I active part in the supervision of con struction of the present church. He served as treasurer for many years, and as trustee for fully thirty years. Mr. Roberts was one of the most regu lar attendants at the services of the church. He occupied the same pew from the building pf the church and until a few years ago seldom missed a i service. Mr. Roberts is survived by two sis ters, Mrs. James Lowell and Mrs. Anne Roberts Purvis, widow of the late James Purvis, well known here, who reside at Ilolton, Kan., and three sons, John B. Roberts, Alexander H. Rob erts and George Roberts, of this city. Knew l»rominent Men Mr. Roberts took the keenest inter est in everything pertaining to the de | velopment of his native city and his wide acquaintance and intimate knowl edge of the city made him a delightful conversationalist. Me recalled many of the men who were prominent fig ures in the days of the Mexican war and attended the inauguration of every governor for over sixty years. His reminiscences of the social life of early days were most interesting and there were few people who were active in Harrisburg. affairs whom he did not know. Fc. many years Mr. Roberts kept up his interest in music. He was an ac complished musician and contributed liberally to movements for advance ment of the art in this city. Until a comparatively few years ago Mr. Rob erts attended the oratorios of the Har risburg Choral Society and the recitals given by noted artists.

April 19.—Sen ator Borah, of Idaho, Issued a state ment last night saying he "was not nnd would not become a candidate" for the Republican nomination for I'resident. "If by any chance the party should nominate me." he said. "I, of course, should accept; to pretend or to lntt > mate otherwise would be absurd. But I shall not seek the nomination nor strive in any way, directly or indi rectly. to obtain it. Nor have I the slightest expectation of its coming my way." The statement was issued, the Sena tor explained, because of numerous inquiries received on the subject. "A candidate is a slave," he added, "and I prefer to keep my freedom to speak as plainly as I see fit, especially at a time like this, when plain speak ing seems to be likely to become nec esary if the Republican party is to be restored to power " APRIL 19, 1915.
