DEMAND ENGINEER _ |;:: OF $00 LINE BE _ |=>: AT DEATH PROBE :« Jury Adjourns at Antioch to Await the Pleasure of Rail-- road Head. ' The inquiry into the death of Wm. Bchoenfeld, of Antioch, who was kill« ed on the Soo line crossing between Lake Vila and Antioch two weeks ago, was continued again Thursday to an indefinite date in the future. The jury bhad demanded that the rallroad produce A. E. Whitman, of Minneapolis, the chief engineer of the company, to relate the. progress made in effort to make the crossing safe for traffic. _ When Whitman failed to arrive at the inquest the jury took the matter up with States Attorney Smith who recommended that Whitman be noti-- fHed the second time. The letter that was dispatched to him by Deputy Coroner Edward Conrad Friday stated in substance that the inquest has been continued two weeks and that he will be allow-- ed that length of time to get in touch with the coroner to set a date when he can appear before the jJury. The jury ,through the foreman, At-- torney Frank Fowler, of Lake Villa, told the coroner that a veidict could not be reached until Mr. Whitman or an assistant had offered testimony in regard to the discussion on the crossing. Anm overhead section had been planned. . This move by the jury indicates, the coroner believes, that an attempt will be made to fix the blame. Schoenfeld and a partner, Harry Wise, in a fruit business at Antioch, were on their way home from Chi-- cago with a load of fruit at the time of the accident. They were struck by a north bound flier. Wise told the jury that the vision of the track was obstructed by a string of freight cars. He did not hear a whistle. The engineer of the train, a man named Cook, stated that the whistle had been sounded at the whistling post. .

A large percentage of the money spent for pablic welfare goes for the care and treatment of those whose condition is the result of preventable diseases. The situation is anmnlagous to the fellow who prefers to spend a dollar for reconstructing buildings destroyed by flames for every nickel spent for fire prevelu_on The Chicago health department did 2886 smallpoxr vaccinations duriang the month of Jun#e, making a total of 124,-- 284 for the kalf yeur.

Vacctoated nurses who cared for smallpox patients for weeks at a time did not catch the disease, accord--} ing to official reports. From Windsor the epidemic appeared in Detroit where It caused 1532 cases of sickness., and 106,--Geaths. - During the first six months of this. year $7,951 cases of cuntagious -- dis-- ease were reported to the lI!linois State: department of public health. March yielded the highest monthly number, a total of 16,242 cases, while June, with 11,643, was the low month. These figures show how quickly sunshine, fresh air out--door life and fresh veg-- etables improve the health situation, according to the state health officials. _ Measles stood at the top of the list of prevalent contagious diseases in the state during the first half year, 17,554 cases being reported. One case of trichinosis and 2 of pellagra were reported during the six months, these diseases standing at the f6ot of the list During the first half year, 230 cases of purulent sore eyes in new born'in-- fants were reported to the Illinois state department of health. This dis ease causes life--long blindness when not promptly treated. It can posi-- tively be prevented by washing the baby's eyes with a drop of silver ni-- trate immediately after birth 'and since the state distributes silver ni-- trate free there seems to be no excuse, other © than dogn-nght ignorance,; or I carelessness, why any cases should de-- velop.
