Ardrey Died in Portland Yesterday Was Chief of Police Here Until Jan uary 1 He Was Well and Favor ably Known. J. C. Ardrey, La Grande's chief of police until January 1 of this year, died in Portland yesterday of poly cythemia, a rare blood disease. Mrs. Ardrey and two children, Ruth and Nate, were with him when he died. The family lives at 621 Glenwood ave- e. Funeral announcements have not yet been made. . A telegram today from Portland merely announced his death. As chief of police Mr. Ardrey was uniformly courteous and from long residence here this quality made him popular.

The schools are closed and the town is split into nio two factions by the order of the ctfy health ollicer over tne closing. Ine school board opposed an order of the city health officer, Dr. Emery, to close the schools and only did close under protest to the state board of "health. The mayor of the city, how ever, has a letter from Dr. Roberg, State health officer, in which the offi cer asks the mayor if he thinks it is necessary for him (Roberg) to come to Union to take charge of the situa tion or if the mayor can see that the 'cases are quarantined. The trials of the two men charged with violations of the quarantine law are on today. The men to be tried are Superintendent of Schools Aramt, charged with tearing down a quaran tine flag placed on North school by the health officer, and R. J. Kitchen, charged with breaking quarantine. The latter is an attorney and says he will gladly pay a fine if the law is shown him whore it is ordered that 'measles be quarantined. Attorney 'Kitchen says the law does not men tion measles in any place. 4- 4 4- - - 4 4- 4- K 4- 4 ' 4 4- 4- 4 4 4- 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4-4-4 t 4- 4r 4- o-qt.
