against smallpox and then) were
indications today that President
Coolidge was among the first to
signify compliance with the request.
As the result of an order by Sur

structions to all employes advising
them that the vaccination should
be accomplished at the earliest
possible moment. The order af
fects approximately 65,000 govern
ment workers.
There have been 19 deaths from
smallpox here since January 1 out
of 54 cases. Two of the deaths oc
curred yesterday. Dr. Cummlng:
considers the disease to be In a
