RELIEF
FOR P50R CHILDREN1 I
The Board Has Appointed Drs. Bobbins,
. Spalding, Callerl, ifein and Hamilton
to Vaccinate ttle Children of
People Too Poor to Pay.
The Board of Health held a speoial meet
ing last night to Consider tho vaccination
problem and after som discussion succeeded
iu getting at what atlp&rs to be the nearest
solution possible under tho circumstances.
l'mtdent Spalding presided at the mect
lug and reiterated fife sentiments he ex
pressed at a previous meeting, namely: that
in view of the cold woather ore Tallinn
and the faot that tio small-nor exists
in, or in the vldhity of the town,
he was disposed to be leulent In
the enforcement of tlio vaccination ftws at
present. Mr. Malon concurred in tho same
views, but Mr. Holmaiuwsumcd a contrary
position and stated that from what he had
learned at the state sanitary convention at
Harrisburg last week he could not favor any
oiuer course than a strict enforcement of the
laws. Mr. Morrsson cOiScidcd with Mr. IIol
man and thoro was dangor of a deadlock, as
the 111th member of the board, Mr. Mollale,
waB BDsent.
Tho question of vaccinating children of
the poor drifted into dicussiou and it led to
a statement by President Spalding to the
effect that ho would modify his position and
co-operate in the rigid enforcement of the
vaccination laws, provided provision would
be made whereby the ohildren of parents too
poor to pay the required fees.could bo treated
at public espouse.
Tho suggestion mt with favor and resulted
in a motion being made and adopted to the
ouecc mat one vaccine physician be ap
pointed In each ward ; that thoy bo paid fifty
cents for each vaoolnktion and two re-
vaeclnatlous ho made if necessary, the
borough to sustain the expenses In oases
Where parents are too poor to pay the
required fee.
The reports in baud show that thero aro
233 who are out of tho schools on account of
not being vaccinated and tho parents of 07 of
thorn nro too poor to pay the fcoB.
The resolution adopted by tho Board doos
not compel children ',whos,e parents are
able to pay the fees tp go to any particular
pnysician.
The following physicians have been ap
pointed under tho iqotion adopted : First
ward, Dr. Clifton Eobblns: Second ward. Dr.
S. C. Spalding ; Third-ward, Dr. J. S. Callen;

Thfi morning Kobert Lesnoski, ft Pele re
siding at BrownsvUle, was arraigned by Con
stable Bol In before Justice Cardln on a ter
rible charge made by Katie Toomey, the
eight-year-old daughter of William Toomey,
also of Brownsville. According to the evi
dence the Toomeys reside about a hundred
yards from where the accused man Uvea.
While ont last night Katie lost one of her
rubber shoes. After the father went to work
this morning Katie aud her mother went out
to hunt for the shoe and In the search the
mother and daughter became sepe rated, the
latter getting near the house of the accused
man. Katie says that while she was on the
highway Lesnoski picked her up and
carried her to the outhouse at the rear of
his residence saying, "I have you now." Upon
arriving in the outhouse, the child says.
Lesnoski threw a pillow-ease over her bead
and there attempted an assault. The child
says the pillow-case prevented her from cry
ing out. After she was released she started
for home and met her mother and told her
story.
Mrs. Toomey swore sno was on her way
home when she observed the girl and the
accused man leaving the latter's outhouse.
When she learned the story she went to
Lesnoski's house and accused him. The
man displayed Ignorance of the English

wifo this morning when Mrs. Toomoy camo
in and asked for a rubber shoe. She jumped
at him. He deolarod ho had not been in the
outhouse during tho morning. To a frieud
in the oulce Lesnoski said ho thought that
tiie woman jumped at him because she
thought ho had stolen the rubber.
The accusing girl was examined by Dr.
Btein in Justice Cardiu's private office. The
doctor was called and testified that he found
videncos of an attempted assault. Katlo

Now Being:
USELESS EXPENDITURE VOTED I
Both Houses Pass a Resolution Providing
For the Spending of $30,000 For Mail
ing Legislative Eecords-Antl-TreaWng
and other How
Measures. (Special Correspondence.),
Harrisburg, Feb. 1. Owing to yrhnt
the agricultural sections ot the state have
suffered under the existing horse racing
law, which has practically abolished
county fabrs, a race track bill which Is to
be introduced In the house this week will
probably be one of tho most interesting of
all the proposed legislative measures. The
bill is intended to modify the present anti
pool law, whioh is admitted to havo over
roaohed tho purpose of its loglslntlvo sup
porters and blighted Important agricul
tural interests.
Tho now bill is baoked by most'of tho
agricultural societies of tho stato, as well
as the various racing associations, Includ
ing thoso of Philadelphia and vicinity,
and MoKeo's Rooks, Allegheny county.
By limiting to twnty-flvo tho number of
days for racing in a year, on any estab
lished track, and allowing restricted pool
soiling on that number of days, tha pro
posed law is expected to practically pre
vent the construction of now raco traoks
for continuous racing.
The bill specifies that no part of tho
twenty-five days' racing, with tho pool
soiling oonflned to the grounds and to tho
racos thero in progress, shall bo dono in
the poriod from Nov. 1 to April 00, inclus
ive, and thero shall not be more than six
days of tho sport in any one of tho six
months from May to October, inoluded.
It 1b argued that this arrangement will
restore the loet vitality of tho county fair
grounds throughout the state, while at
tho same time barring out tho gambling
and other evils which prompted a former
legislature to action, the results of whioh
may not havo been foreseon and wero cor-
tninly not desired by the farming com
munities. Tho bill, thoroforo, is expeotcd
to recolve its main support from ropro
sontatlves in whoso counties tho formor
opposition to oven such restrictions ns nro
now to bo put upon pools found its ohlof
backing.
Mnny Keform Measures.
The Municipal Lenguo's sovon reform
bills recently Introduced includo ono
aimed against political assessments on of
ficeholders' salaries or wages. A bill for
tho same purpose is among tho soverul
Quay roform measures, which will bo in
troduced this weok. Another Municipal
League bill on civil servlco applies only
to Philadelphia, while tho Quay project
is for a state commission and would bo a
gonoral law. A third bill from tho
Lenguo puts increased restrictions around
municipal contracts. The other Loaguo
bills, in addition tp putting tho tax office
and city treasury undor civil service
rules, would bar out city councllmen
from holding publlo office of profit, and
would require an income from franchises
and reduce tha number of members in
councils, elocting the solcct counollmon at
large.
Tho Quay lieutenants say thoy aro ready
to take from tho Municipal longuo bills or
elsewhero any suggestions that may im
provo tho Quay bills, al hough the latter
aro claimed to be more radical than any
other measures yet introduced on the samo
subjects. All the leaguo bills, ns well as
other municipal roform plans, inoluding
those of Senator Quay, will be acted upon
by the houso municipal affairs committee,
In which thoro are two Wanamaker vot
ers, nnd tho municipal corporations com
mittee of tho senate, in which all the Re
publicans wore Ponroso voters.
Representative Keator's bill to create a
salarlod commission, with qualifications
of supremo court justices, for the purpose
of scrutinizing nil bills as soon ns reported
from committees, and again just beforo
sending them to tho governor, is not re
ceived with ipuch favor among Quayites.
This fact is attributed by nntl-Quatmen
to the circumstance of Mr. ICoator'sfev
iug been tho original Wanamaker can
didate for representative In Philadelphia.
Reproseututlvo Crothers, of Philadel
phia, has. a bill which ho will soon Intro
duce to repeal tha law passed in 1805,
through the efforts of Senator Charles A.
Porter, to facilitate the consolidation of
corporations.
Extravagnnce In Expenditure.
There wag a resolution passed by the
senate recently, as well as by the house,
whioh means a useless expenditure of W0,.
000 ot the people's money. There wns but
oue dissenting vote in the senate, and
none in the house. Tho resolution pro
vides that herenfter forty copies of the
Legislative Record shall be allotted to
each member of tho legislature daily, to
be mailed to their constituents.
It ooste just about two oents eaoh day
to mail these Reoords. This is an unneces
sary expense of JB00 per day. For 160 days
of a session It means just 180,000, exolu-
Bive oi me lnoreaseu cost ot publishing.
The Legislative Record in the past hag
been one of the Buperb "fakes" of every
legislative session. It has frequently been
au unending souroe of annoyance to the
members. Not only has it been notoriously
iuaoourate at times, but It has rarely ap
peared with regularity. At one time,
several sessions ago, The Record was over
a week behind time. Already this session
have thoro been two members In the house
