tendance of any child In the public
schools of the city unless there has
been vaccination, with results satis?
factory to the city physician. The
appearance of two cascE of smallpox
In the schools a few weeks ago
brought about this order.
At the same time the city authori?
ties have determined to keep up rigid
quarantine of Btnallpox cases and per?
sons exposed, ns In the past. In spite
of the recent repeal of the Stale law
requiring quarantine, a change that
was brought about by the State Board
of Health, on the much criticized

and that quarantine Is an expensive
protection for the few who wilfully
stand out against being vaccinated.

Preliminary Proceeding.
As a preliminary proceeding to en?
tering upon the actual trial of the
famous Ware-Kramer suit against the
American Tobacco Comany, for $1.
500,000 damages, on June 13, in the
Federal Court here, United States Judge
H. Q. Conner has directed that con?
tending counsel appear June 6 and sub?
mit all arguments on pending motions,
preliminary to the actual trial, so .that
all these may be cleared up before the
jury trial comes up. Among the mo?
tions to be thus disposed of are that
each side present certain books, and
letter files, not yet drawn Into the liti?
gation. The depositions taken in this
case already constitute a record of
4,000 or more typewritten pages, and
thero are numerous exceptions noted
that are to be disposed of, so far as
Judge Connor's rulings are concerned,
before the trial begins.
