AIRMAN, KNOWN HERE, IS DEAD Lieutenant E. B. Jonen, Killed ll Actton, Often Visited In Decatur. r'O'-frf St 4 First Lieut. Eugene B.

Jones, grandson of Mrs. F. Busher and W. H. Gasaway, who had visited in Decatur many -times and was well known here, has been killed, in France.

The cablegram telling of his death brought no details. He was in the air and piloted- a pursuit plane in the same squadron to which Lieut. Qucntin Roosevelt was attached. The. pursuit planes are the fastest used by the Americans and have been feared by German flyers, because of their great work in the advance of the Allies since July.

It is supposed that Lieut. Jones met "his death in the great drive of. the Amercans on 13, when they wiped out the St. Mihiel salient. Lieut.

Jones' home was in Chicago. GROWER CONN OF MAROA IS DEAD Grover Conn of Maroa died at 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening after an illness of ten days with' pneumonia. He was 30 years old. Mr. Conn was born in Dewitt coun-i ty.

S. McMullen. Red Cross field secretary of the Central Division, who investigated conditions here Friday. "There is but one thing which surprised me and that was the way' the teachers failed to respond to the call for nurses. In every community where the schools were closed a large number offered their services and in tiiat way only is Decatur lacking.

"The time of the teachers was their own for the last three weeks and they were being paij during the quarantine and I think that more should have ottered to act as nurses." Don't Ralae Quarantine. Maj. McMullen warned against lifting the quarantine restrictions too early, against allowing people to congregate in large numbers. "This happened in Kansas City and the're-sults were far more serious than the first time the quarantine was announced, said Maj. McMullen.

'This cannot be made too strong." The organization in Decatur to fight the epidemic, now considered under control, was one of the best which Maj. McMullen has found In any city and since the influenza has been raging in the central states he has visited hundreds of places. The 'work of Miss Beatrice Sanders, who has been working with Mr. Mattes and the health board during the quarantine was highly praised by-Ma j. McMullen.

NOTICE ON FUNERALS. The State Board of Health and the United States Public Health Service, orders thai the atendance at all funerals, be limited to the Immediate relatives and the necessary attendants, to prevent the spread of influenza. The state board of health on Friday sent to the health authorities of the city a copy of the latest rulings for the prevention and restriction of influenza. Public funerals are still barred under his ruling in spite of the fact that church services are allowed. Practically the same restrictions exist as before, and especial mention is made of the precautions which must be taken on Sunday when the churches reopen.

Following is the letter from Dr. St. Clair Drake: "On account of the serious epidemic of influenza now sweeping' throughout the state, it Is imperative that all of the rules and regulations of the state department of public health for the prevention and restriction of this disease and all of the emergency rules more recently promulgated shall be rigidly enforced by all local authorities. "The emergency rules now in effect throughout the state place the following restrictions upon local activities: "1. The prohibition of dancing or the operation of dance halls.

"'2. The closing of theaters, motion picture houses and other places of public amusement. "3. The prohibition of lodge meetings. "4.

The prohibition of all public funerals. "5. The prohibition of public cattle or stock sales, or a bargain and other special sales contemplated to draw gatherings of people. 6. The prohibition of all social gatherings.

Schools Are Closer). "7. The closing of all public, parochial and private schools, ex cepting provided with adequate medical supervision and thorough medical inspection. The minimum requirements are as follows: "(a) The examination of every HUNGARIAN FAMILY FOUND SUFFERING WITH PNEUMONIA Father in Hospital Moth er and Baby III and Unattended. Another destitute family was found by Commissioner John F.

Mattes Friday. The members are Hungarians, living in 2176 North Woodford, just outside the city limits. The father has been taken to the Decatur and Macon County hospital, suffering with pneumonia. At home the mother was left with her baby, both ill with pneumonia, and three other children, suffering with slight attacks of influenza. There was no one but a grandmother to take care of all of them, and she was not very proficient in are art of nursing.

The family, when conculted by Commissioner Mattes in the afternoon could not understand a word that was said to them. They have been in this country but a short time, and can neither speak cr un derstand a word of English. Too Sent to Hospital. Mr. Mattes returned in the evening and secured the services of a neighbor woman as interpreter.

She finally made the family understand taht if they were to get well they would have to go to the hospital, so the mother and her sick baby were taken to the Decatur and Macon County hospital. The grandmother was left for the night with the three children, but Commissioner Mattes is planning to go back to the home this morning to see what can be done toward getting an efficient nurse to take charge. FIRST KILLING FROST FRIDAY Vegetable Gardens Continued to Grow Up to Unusual Date November 1, believed to be a record for the first killing frost in this latitude, saw gardens completely. wilted for the first time. There have been other frosts this year, but none heavy enough to wilt down tomato vines, make the broad leaves of cabbage and squash droop and take all signs of life out of hardy late vegetable life.

A year ago a killing frost occurred the middle of September. The frost Friday was fully justified by a low temperature of 29 degrees, and put an end to the still-ripening tomatoes. When the early season for gardens is recalled altogether this was one of the most remarkable ceasons for plant life in many years. As an able aide to Mr. Hoover's food-saving and production needs the Weather Man certainly made good.

MRS. ROY E. STRADLEV. Mrs. Roy E.

Stradley, 731 North Water street, died of influenza Friday morning at Pontiac. Mrs. Stradley went to Pontiac several days ago because her uncle's family were all ill with influenza, and contracted the disease there. She was IS years old. The uncle died and was buried Friday.

Mrs. Stradley was married last July. Besides her husband she leaves her father, Charles Boring, a sister. Miss Marie Boring, a brother, George, and a niece. Miss Pearl Caldwell, all of Decatur.

The body arrived in Decatur at 5 o'clock Friday evening, and was taken to Moran's undertaiug establishment. It probably will be shipped to Virginia for burial. OR A PARMEXTER. Funeral services for Ora Parment-er were conducted by Rev. Edgar Smith at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon at the home of the mother, 551 North Oakland avenue.

Lizzie Baugh and Mrs. Dolly Lebo. Bearers were Frank Evans, John Edwards, Joseph Barl-lett, Orpheus Bartlett, Thomas Waller and Frank Waller. Burial was in Salem cemetery. Salvation Army To Hold Services Tue quarantine restrictions having oeen inted as far as church ser- vices are concerned, the regular Salvation Army services w-ill be held Saturday and Sunday.

A street service will be held at the transfer house Saturday, followed by tne regular service in the hall. Ser vices will be held in the hall Sunday morning and Sunday evening a me morial service for those who have died during the influenza epidemic ill be conducted. The services will he conducted particularly for Miss UUie White, of the local Salvation Army corps, who died last week. Capt. J.

Brewer, who has been ill for eight, days and unable, to leave his home will be able to resume his duties within a few days. Capt. Brewer was suffering from overwork, according to the attend ing physician and was urged to take a complete rest for a few days. Col. Brewer, father of the local Salvation Army leader, passed through Decatur on his way from St.

Louis to Chicago. Friday afternoon and announced that he expected to be able to come to Decatur to speak next week. Pneumonia Cases Keep Hospitals Busy "Most ot our pneumonia cases are serious," said Miss Cleland, superintendent ot Macon County hospital Friday evening. This seemed to be the case in the other hospitals also. While the number of influenza cases is smaller than it w-as a few days ago.

most of the patients now being taken to the hospitals either have pneumonia when they are taken there or develop It within a few hours. According to the nurses this is naturally to be expected after a fide spread epidemic of influenza. In the Red Cross hospital there are now thirty-two patients and a great need for good nurses. Within tne last few days the number of patients out there has increased and there are not enough nurses to care for them. SOCIAL SERVICE SECT LEAVES Mrs.

Kathleen Lottman Resigns Position and Will Go to Florida Soon Miss Kathleen Lottman has resigned as secretary of the Social Service Bureau and leaves the city soon for Florida to join her daughter. Mrs. Lottman went into the office as assistant secretaiy. and when the position of secretary was left vacant by a resignation, she was given the place. "Mrs.

Lottman has surely done efficient service while with us," said .1. S. McClelland, president of the board of directors of the organization. "We hate to lose her, for she just seems to be cut out out for this kind of work. Her keen interest and quick grasp of conditions and situations made her a very valuable secretary." Until some one can be secured to take her place, the office probably will be in charge of Miss Henrietta Page, who has been helping in the bureau for some ime.

the quarantine is lifted so that it is possible there will be a meeting of the board of directors of the Social Service Bureau Tuesday evening, where the matter of a new secretary will be discussed. BRIEF CITY NEWS A. L. Draper. 1110 East William street, has received a card from Sergt.

D. R. Malcy of the A. E. thanking him for tobacco received through the Herald tobacco fund.

EVERETT MANNING NOW A SERGEANT Everett Manning, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Bruce Manning, 1203 West wax recently promoted to the rank of sergeant in the motor transport corps at Newport sews. Va. Sergeant Manning was in wnn i n-hn his company went to Panama, and he has been placed in the accounting department at rne Virginia camp. That opposition to the good roads bond issue was developing to a remarkable extent in the rural districts was admitted yesterday by friends of the movement who have been quietly sounding out sentiment. Word also came that S.

E. Brandt, state highway engineer, had named Decatur as one of the three cities in that state -where he most feared for the success of the measure. The other two were Bloontkflgton and and Jacksonville. As far as this city itself is concerned, the friends of good roads here have no fears. Nor are they inclined to accept the statement made by one investigator that four out of every five voters in the country oppose the law, but the is far from satisfactory.

A campaign of advertising, which takes the place of the school-house meetings, planned before the quarantine went into effect, has been instituted and will be continued to the 6th. "My Place" Arnnment Most Used. The nature of most of the arguments in opposition indicate that the voters are not posted upon the law. The stock objection is that, "the road dosn't go past my place." Advocates of the roads pointed out yesterday that while it was impossible to pave every road in the state, the ftiA motor license fund after repaying the principal and paying interest on ine oonus uu.u go to state aid, that is to assisting counties in improving their local connecting roads, the state giving a dollar for every dollar the county raises. Not only that, but the state maintains these roads, thereby taking a tax burden off the county.

Another objection is the fear that fees will only be sufficient to pay the interest on the bonds and that tne principal have to be met by direct taxation. nmhrr of Mnchlnes Ample Now. nf stale T. L. Emmerson has announced that 380,000 machines had been licensed up to sept.

i or me present year. This number at the licone fees would be am ple to meet principal and interest and leave a surplus lor maintenance, will take an average of less than nnn i-ear to meet interest and principal." But the number of cars is expected to increase, Avtimnteii that cunci Oll El. 000,000 a year will soon be coming into the state treasury from motor license fees. The oil enthusiasts are also being heard from. It may be said that those who worked the hardest to secure Macon county's, two state aid oiled roads, labored under Thev would have chosen a durable material could they have had their way, but it was men hope that oil would educate the users Into a desire for something better.

COULD NOT BE EARLIER Commissioner Mattes on Friday nt to the Hoard of Health in ant'r to a question, the reply that in his judgment atler going over me local influenza conditions carefully, it would he safe to further modify the cuarantnib restrictions next Wednesday. This is the earl'itst date the State Board of Health would further modify the restrictions, and Mayor Dinneen and Commissioner Mattes were in Springfield Thursday afternoon it was suggested that no "recommendation for an earlier lifting of the ban than on Wednesday iviuld be made. To support liis judgment in the niattrr.

Commissioner Mattes sent to the State Board of Health figures which showed at a glance that there as a steady improvement in the influenza situation in Decatur. Theaters Hope to Open. There was nothing on the questionnaire which Mr. Mattes answered to indicate what places a modification order would atfect. hut it is no doubt that the theaters are included in the places which may he opened the middle of next week if conditions here continue to improve to the satisfaction of the state authorities.

The recommendations of the local officials count for little if the datiy reports do not substantiate the claims to the citisfactiun of the state board. They have the final word in the lifting of the ban and promise that it will be lifted as soon as conditions in every community warrant such action. Children Allowed To Go to Churches Children accompanied by their parents will be allowed to attend churcti according to a ruling from the state board of health received Friday noon. "Influenza is not a children's disease any more than it is an adult's disease, and we see no reason why the children could not go if accompanied hv their oarents and then taken home again." was the reply over the telephone. No one snould be allowed in a church who coughs or The board also permits the meeting in the interest of the united war work campaign on Monday night in the High school auditorium.

Allen D. Albert will speak then in the Interest of this campaign, and as the meeting is for the promotion of war activities It is permitted under the rulings of the United States Public Health service. Questions Follow This Modification With a modification of the quarantine order affecting churches. Mayor Dlnneen and Commissioner Mattes on P'rlday were confronted with more questions, and insinuations from those who are non-churchgoers. However the city officials consoled themselves with the fact that the State Board of Health had ordered this modification before they reached Springfield Thursday afternoon.

The local officials did not go to ask for any specific favor but wanted to give the state authorities a clear idea of the locnl conditions. Churches all over the state are allowed to have services so that na favor in that respect was given to the local officials. They sought no favors and received none. Some call ers on Friday could not understand why Sunady schools could not be con ducted. To these it was explained that the Sunday schools evidently are classed with other day "schools" which still remain closed.

Non- church goers thought it inconsistent to allow the churches to open and keep theaters closed. They were re ferred to the orders of the state board. Brown's to Resume Under State Health Restrictions Rrown's Business college which has been closed since the quarantine tsan will open its day school Monday morning under the conditions and restrictions imposed by the state health authorities' resolution. Principal H. M.

Owen secured Commissioner J. F. Mattes' permission to open if all the conditions ere complied with. Pupils will be ubjected to a medical examination, will be carefully watched by members of the teaching staff for any aymptoms of illness, and who couith or sneeze will be requested to withdraw. Evening sessions will not be resumed until later.

eaie fellers seem shave jest ujj violet talcum. Paterotic )ce rrm and nrize hti at Melodeon sons who persistently cough or sneeze must be requested to leave the church. "These rules are now In full force and effect throughout the state, and must not be rescinded- in any community without the sanction of this department. It is the policy of the department to withdraw restrictions i in local communities when such action is thoroughly justified, but this decision must be made for each individual community. To this end I should strongly urge that you make a daily report to this office describing fully the existing conditions and the prevalence of the disease, and that for this purpose you enforce the rules of his department requiring the reporting of all cases of In-jfluenza by physicians and other per-'sons." HEYWORTH BOY, IN BAND, DIES AT SEA Word of the death of Archie Stewart, son of Bruce Stewart, well known band men of Decatur, while en route to France waa received here Friday in a letter from Grover C.
