SMALLPOX SCARE
IN ARIZONA CAPITAL
State Legislature Has Been Subjected
To Contact With Disease—Mem
ber In Pest House.
PHOENIX, Arlz., Feb. 9.—Intense
excitement prevails here through the
discovery that Representative Bris
coe, a member of the state legisla
ture, was today taken to the pest
house suffering from smallpox. He
has been ill for several days, during
which time practically every member
of the legislature has visited him and
come In contact with the disease.
Physicians are using every endeav
or to prevent an outbreak of the dis
ease and are making a house to house
canvass to discover if there are any
cases which are being kept hidden
from the authorities.
Compulsory vaccination of all the
school children has been ordered as
a preventitive measure. The mem
bers of the legislature which came
into contact with the disease have all
been vaccinated.
PROBE SHOULD BE
MORE EXTENDED
District Attorney Has Been Unable
To Place Blame for Increase
By Bakers.
CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—District Attor
ney Cline, of Chicago, who was in
structed by the Department of Jus
tice to investigate the raise in the
price of bread and to prosecute those
responsible to the full extent of the
law, finds that he has assumed a big
contract.
He has recommended to the de
partment that the probe should be
extended to all parts of the coun
try, especially the cities in the mid
dle states, as he is unable to determ
ine if the raise in the Chicago prices
is due to demand or speculation.
The bakers have rendered Cline ev
ery possible service in his endeavor
to get at the facts. They have shown
him that the price of flour has in
creased so rapidly that even at the
price which bakers are now charg
ing that they are dangerously near
the margin of working for nothing.
