Charles H. ! Reimers, secretary of the Anti-Vac- cinationist league, at a meeting held last night in the Booth block. Oliver I. Davis, leader of the organization, presided. v | Mr. Davis, in his talk, spent much time in showing the legal rights and privileges of children in regard to the present conflict. He presented six su- preme court decisions to show that no one has a legal right to force a | sced of disease into a healthy child. | Rev, Mr. Reimers said that it is inecessary to stay in the fight until the finish. The Gospel, he said, was preached by only a few in the begin- ning, but now the knowledge of truth | has covered the greater part of the earth. He sald that it would be a greater blessing to remove the im- purity and foreign substance from a body then to fence them in. What is needed today, he concluded, is boys and girls pure in mind as well as in | body. J | against a French firm in Tangier by | asserted Rev. ¥, L. Brooks Speaks. Rev, F. L. Brooks of the People's church expressed surprise at the fact | that Connecticut is so far behind in | the fight. He stated that he was of the opinion that this is perhaps due to the fact that compulsory law is not | so drastic here. He said he has learned that for 20 years there was | little vaccination in this city, He also has found, he stated at the meeting, a statement of the board of health printed several years 2ago, showing that New Britain was the healthiest city in Connecticus, This | fght against compulsory vaccination, he said, is going on from coast %0 coun- He appealed to those present | to stay in the fight. R. J. Klolber sald that there was & time when the doctor was the great- est friend to the sick and suffering, | but today he wants not only the sick, | but the healthy children and prom- ises to safeguard their future, while they are still well, “Before vaccination ‘ho goes after our children by force | and law, but after vaccinatlon we | have to go to him,” he sald. “We are not fighting against vaccination to- day, but against the error of vaccina- | tion,” he said. | He continued by saying that there never has beer such a disease as cow- pox. Hundreds and thousands of prominent doctors have seen that er- ror; many of them haveé been brought before courts and even put in jail in | fighting for this cause, declared. He sid that the the state of Ba- varia, Germany, in 1807, enacted ‘the first compulsory vaccination law, and on April 8, 1874, the law was forced on the entire country. Great convie- tion came over many of Germany's | doctors, Doctor Weis of Nurenberg rylng out on his dehth bed, “I wish hat Germany would hang me to the iighest tree of the Black Forest as a penalty for the cruelly I have com- mitted to thousands of innocent chil- dren." “There s a saying,” concluded the speaker, “that error will travel around the world while Truth is putting on its boots. And we have ours on. Thank God! And we will not take them off until our ehildren are no longer re- garded as outcasts and deprived of school privileges.”” He expressed the hope that the anti-vaccinationists would win. The'next meeting will be held next Triday at 7:45 p. m. on the third floor of the Booth block. ——— K.

'ALIENS SMUGGLED LED OVER | JUST ABOVE THE FALLS | Immigration Frustrate Daring Effort to Inspectors at Niagara - Violate Laws Niagara Falls, N. Y., May 3.—Five one a woman, were brought the upper river from Canada in a rowboat and landed on the Amer- |ican. shore, a mile and a half above the ¥alls early today, only to fall into the hands of immigration inspectors who were patroling the river bank. | The prisoners are awaiting deportation {and, Joseph Snyder, 65 years old, of Chippewa, Ont.,, charged by the in- spectors with bringing them into this country, is held on a charge of | smuggling aliens, The trip across the upper river last | night was full of peril. The night was dark and many ice floes were be- ing carried by the swift current down to the rapids above the Falls which start less than a half mile below where the quintet was landed. If the boat { had been carrled slightly west of its course by the current it probably would have been swept into the rapids and over the American Falls, the po- lice said. The aliens held are Joseph Bluz- wicz, and his wife, Barbara, Polish; and Cruise Noman, Martin Cawley and James Hatsop, all Irishmen. All were well dressed and well supplied with money. They said they had been turned back at the bridges several times. Immigration men say that the price per head for smuggling aliens across the upper river is $100, On the lower river where the danger is less the price is $20 to $50 per head. aliens, . | acr LAWN MOWERS “GREAT AMERICAN” - “CALDWELL” - “TOWNSEND” THE THREE BEST MAKES Present your lawn with a NEW MOWER this spring.
