THE MORNHfG . OBEGONI AN. SATURDAY, AUGUST. 23, 1902.
TIME TO STOP IT
Smallpox Comes From
Lewis River Country.
DISEASE IS COMMON THERE
Form Is Mild, and Public Is
. indifferent,
NO QUARANTINE OF ANY KIND
Many Victim About Woodland
Some Come to Portland for Treat
ment Epidemic Is Likely, Un
less Prompt Action Is Taken.
Be ports as to the prevalence of small
pox alone th Lewis Klver, in the State
of "Washington, having reached The Or
egonlan, . a reporter wm dispatched to
"Woodland, -with Instructions to make
careful investigation. The result is full
confirmation of the rumors. The disgust
ing disease is widespread, and no pre
cautionary measures whatever taken to,
protect neighboring cities and towns.
From this place come many cases to
Portland: and unless drastic measures
are soon taken it la obvious that Port
land will be face to face with a
troublesome epidemic during the com
ing "Winter. The purpose of The Ore
gonlan In making this Inquiry has been
to ascertain the facts, in order that
the public may be Informed and quar
antine may be Instituted.
A smallpox-breeding ground, from
which "the disease la being scattered over
the entire country. Is located along- the
upper Lewis River. Woodland, Wash.,
seems to be the center, and no precau
tions are there taken against transmis
sion of the disease from one person to
another, or carrying it into other local
ities. All the surrounding country is In
fected, and numerous -cases are reported
over as far as La Center, Wash. The vic
tim is, as a rule, entirely regardless of
the welfare of others, and roams at
large, spreading infection among all he
meets. In some cases patients have de
liberately boarded, a boat, and came to,
Portland, In order that they may be
taken to the Pesthouse and receive treat
ment free of charge. People -whoso fam
ilies have smallpox visit other localities,
and take no steps to kill the dangerous
germs. In fact, this infected spot may
well be considered the source, directly
or Indirectly, of most of the cases of
smallpox that are intruding themselves
over various parts of the country at this
time. The physician who has charge of
most of the smallpox' In that community
takes no precautions to prevent the dis
ease from spreading among his patients.
He does riot even take the trouble 'to dis
infect his clothing after he visits a case,
and doubtless himself Is an active agent
in the scattering of the disease.
As long as such conditions exist, the
city officials are powerless against the
spread of smallpox. Dr. Zan. City Phyr
slcian. last night said: "These people
get Into our midst' We have no state
health board, and there Is really no , way
that we can stop them from coming to
our city. We are powerless to prevent
the spread of the disease as long as they
are scattering the cerms broadcast
among the people. It will be only through
the most extreme measures that we shall
be able to prevent a general smallpox
epidemic this Winter. It is something
extraordinary that there should be so
many cases at this time of the year. As
soon as WlnteT sets in there is no tell
ing how wide a course It will run." Dr.
Zan. however, stated that he expected
to do all In his power to save Portland
from the results of the almost criminal
carelessness of the people around Wood
land. "I cannot quarantine the place,"
said he. "but I can demand that the
transportation companies refuse to carry
people from that section, and if they In
sist on taking them, I can prevent them
running into Portland. I will take the
matter up the first thing in the morn
ing, and will Insist that the companies
quarantine theso places."
It's Mild, They Say.
The people of Woodland do not make
any attempt to deny that there Is a large
amount of smallpox among them, and
that they do not take any caution as to
its spread. If a visitor says that he has
heard that they have smallpox, they tell
him that It Is in a very mild form, and is
not to be feared in the least.- They even
attempt to argue that the disease should
be spread among the people while it is
in a mild form, and that this, the most
formidable and most-dreaded disease
against which the medical fraternity has
to combat, is almost to be desired. Inas
much as it cannot "be contracted the sec
ond time.
Perhaps the case that could be called
the nearest to criminal neglect Is that
of the Woodland Postmaster, whose name
is Fields. His family is sick with the
smallpox, -and his own face is a mass of
pustules. He has never been compelled
to shut up his office, but has continued to
distribute the mall among his customers.
Not only this, but he has also received
mall, sorted It while In the worst stages
of the disease. thu3 depositing a countless
number of the germs on the mall matter
and seat It broadcast over the country.
How many of the cases that are reported
over the country came from this source
it is impossible to say. and how many
more of the germs may lie latent until
the more favorable Winter sets in and
then assert tnemsclves will never be
known.
"Do you know that you are violating
tfic laws of the country?" asked one of
the more careful citizens of Fields, '.'and
that jou are liable to do a great damage
by-being 30 careless?" But the warning
had no effect. Determined that such a
practice was wrong and could be stopped,
this citizen wrote to the Postofilce In
spector In thl3 city, but he says no re
sponse was ever had from the letter.
Miller Wn Not Alarmed.
A blacksmith, whose name is Miller,
has recently- had smallpox, and but a
few days ago his 2-weeks-old child was
taken with the disease in a violent form.
The mother had smallpox at the time the
child was born. The father had made
light of the disease when he had it and
had said: "There is no danger in it. It
Is not as bad as a bad K)ld," and contin
ued to work in his shop and wait on all
customers. While his wife had it also,
he did not pretend to take any caution
against transmitting the germs to others.
Both'ils" case and the mother's were
very mlleh - but the . form that has at
tacked the child Is of a different sort,
yet mild as compared with what may be
expected at any time. The father contin
ues" to wait upon the customers while his
clothes arc loaded with the smallpox
germs taken from both his wife and
baby.
No Precautions Are Taken.
A reporter called yesterday at the of
fice of D7. Shoemaker, w&o handles the
smallpox rases of that community.
"I understand that there is smallpox
in this country." sali the reporter.
"I hare Just come from the worst case
that I have had yet," said .be. "Mr. Mil
ler's little baby is in a very bad condi
tion." "Are there many cases about here?" he
was asked.
"The whole country Is full of It. but It
Is In a very mild form," said he, "and
is not much to be feared. There are three
or four cases right here In town, and I
cannot say how many In the country
around. I really know of but few fam
ilies here who have not smallpox now
or have had It since last Fall."
"What precaution do you take against
Its spreading?" he was asked.
"None," said he. ""It Is so mild that
the people do not dread It. and there
seems to be no use of raising any trouble
about 1L I tried to have the first few
stay in their houses, but they would not
do it, soTl gave It up and let them do as
they please now."
"Then a large number of people that go
to the city and other places must be In
fected?" said the reporter.
"Of course, they are," said he; "but I
don't see that that makes much differ
ence. -The leading doctors of the "world
say that smallpox is growing milder and
milder, and will finally die out."
"Is it not possible that some that have
the smallpox go to the city?" This ques-j
tlon seemed to touch a sore spot In the
doctor's memoryt and recalled a fee that
he might have had but did not get.
"Yes," said he. Indignantly, "some of
them go clear to Portland as soon as
they get it, so that they will be sent to
the Pesthouse, and will not have to pay
any doctor bill."
"Do you know of any one that has "done
this?" asked the reporter.
"Yes," said he. "The blacksmith's son,
Robert Miller, had the smallpox a short
time ago and went to Portland, so that
he could go to the Pesthouse and not
have to pay any bill."
A number of other citizens were ques
tioned as to this fact, and in response
to the question said: "It is true, and his
folks bragged of the fact, and said that
he had a long head."
The people argue that the disease is
In a mild form, and that it is not to be
dreaded; yet. when questioned closoly.
Dr. Shoemaker was forced to admit that
some of the cases had been very severe,
but owing to the fact that there has been
none of them die of the disease, it was
not bad.
After talking to the doctor for some
time, it occurred to the reporter that a
physician's clothing might carry as many
germs as those of an ordinary roan. "I
may get the disease from you," he said,
stepping back at a safer, more discreet
distance "Or do you disinfect your cloth
ing before you leave the house?" The
suggestion that he should go to so much
trouble over a little case of smallpox
seemed to amuse the doctor greatly, and
be gave the reporter a glance that could
well be interpreted as one of pity for be-
ing so full of silly suggestions.
No Use to Disinfect.
"Why, I never bother about anything
like that, and I don't think there Is any
need of it," he responded. "If you are
going to get it, you will get it. Two of
my children have not oven been vac
cinated, and they run around where It
Is all of the time. I go and visit cases
and come home and hold them on my
knee, and still they do not get It. My
wife goes with me to see most of the
cases, and neither she nor the children
havo it yet. You aro as liable to take it
trying to avoid It as in any" other way."
And so the questioning continued. The
doctor did not attempt to evade the fact
that the country at large Is exposed to
smallpox on account of the carelessness
of his patients, but tried to establish
the fact that smallpox was nothing to
make such a fuss about.
Is This a. Mild Dlseaset
When asked concerning this condition,
and the argument of these people, Dr.
Zan said: "Smallpox has always been
mild here. It was thought to be excep
tionally mild last f'ear; yet there were
four or five that were on the point of
death. There were also some serious re
sults. One patient lost his eyesight, and
there were a number that were disfig
ured for life. It Is a disease greatly to
be feared, and we can never tell when It
will break out In a severe form.
"I am very much afraid we shall have
a bad epidemic here this Winter, and It
will take the strongest possible efforts to
prevent it. We have recently been In
formed of the condition about Woodland.
I believe that it Is the center from which
the disease has been spreading, but at
the same time It is but an Illustration of
the way that such things arc handled In
the little country towns. No one has any
jurisdiction over them, and it Is in the
power of no one to quarantine them. We
can shut the gates of the city against
them, and not allow them to come here,
but we cannot force them to stay at
home. If there were state health boards,
and they would do their duty efficiently,
they could have such places closely quar
antined, and it would be but little, trouble
to stamp smallpox out of the country.
We stamp It out here time and time
again, but it is always reintroduced by
some outsider. If every one would keep
his cases at home, and guard them as
we do, it would be but little trouble to
stamp the disease out of the country
once for all."
When asked as to the truth of the" re
port that outsiders had come to Portland
for the purpose of getting froe treatment,
he said: "I know that It is so. I do not
remember the case of Robert Miller, but
I am sure that a number of them came
here after they knew that they had the
smallpox. For the sake of saving a few
dollars, they are willing to expose every
one that they meet on the trip and In
walks about the city."
When asked what could be done to
guard against theso dangers, ho said:
'We cannot do much by ourselves. They
are In the State of Washington, and we
havo no' control over them. Demanding
that the boats that run In here do not
take passengers at those points will stop
a large number of them; but those that
choose to come by a round-about way
cannot -be stopped. If we could only Im
press on the people the great need of
caution, the battle would be ended."
WEALTHY IMMIGRANTS.
Detained on Supposition That They
"Were Gypsies.
NEW YORK. Aug. 22. Ellas J. Ivano
vich, with his wife and eight children,
were held over night by the immigration
authorities at Ellis Island, and "this in
eplte of the fact that he has with him
$25,000 In gold coin and $10,OK worth of
Jewelry- When the members of the fam
ily landed from the freight steamer Byron
It was suspected that they were gypsies,
and until they could prove their good In
tent in coming to this country it was de
cided to look into their story. When It
was learned they were possessed of wealth
that fairly took the breath, away from
the examiners, -It was too late to do any
thing more lnhe matter, but It is proba
ble that they will be released. They are
Servians and will live In this country.
Ellas, the head of the family, is a man
about CO years old. He is more than six
feet tall, and with his Impressive bearing
and picturesque attire could well pose for
a picture of the ideal bandit. About his
waist, beneath a Persian lamb coat, he
wears a belt containing Spanish doubloons
three deep. His watch chain Is of massive
sliver, studded with turquoises of large
size.
No less gaudily attired was his oldest
son, who likewise wore a belt of doub
loons. His wife's cars held gold ear
rings nearly two Inches long, and in the
ears of his pretty daughter were large
pearls.

AN ELK OF HIGH DEGREE
PAST GRAND EXALTED RULER GAL.
VIN COMES TO PORTLAND.
Tells .Why the Order Has Prohibited
Carnivals After January 1 1003
No Local Application.
John " Galvln, past grand exalted ruler
of the Elko, is in this city. Mr. Galvln
Is a lawyer in Cincinnati, O.. acd Is on
his way home from the meeting of the
Grand Lodge In Salt Lake City. When
addressed on the subject cf the legisla-
commcrclallsm enter into our lodges. To
be sure a lodge may want money for this
or for that worthy cause, yet we feel
that It is in the spirit of the order not to
call upon outsiders for aid. These two
reasons were strong and we knew from
experience that when a lodge wea under
contract to a showman It was difficult to
enforce our lav.' about cleanliness and
purity and no gambling. Therefore the
Grand Lodge has prohibited all such
affairs after the first of January. 1903."
Mr. Galvln laid special emphasis on the
fact that the Elks are not directly re
sponsible for the 111 name that has be
come fastened to the street carnivals
given by the order, and he showed that
he felt very deeply that a radical rtep
must be taken to purge the lodges from
further taint. This afternoon he was
driven around the city by a committee

tlon in the last Grand Lodge Mr. Galvln
aald: "It was the best meeting that
has ever been held. Everything that
was done was done with the sole Inten
tion of benefiting the order. About tho
prohibiting of the street carnivals? Yes,
I know something about that. I am re
sponsible for what action was taken and
I introduced the resolution myself. You
see," continued Mr. Galvin warming to
his subject, "there are a great many
fakers who run these street shows under
the name of the Elks. Of course a pro
portion have been given successfully,
purely and without scandal under the
auspices off different lodges, but also
many a JJme there has been a contract
made with some man who has a show
and that fair or carnival given In the
name of the Elks has been Impure, un
clean and prolific of scandal. The order
has to bear the brunt. To be sure we
have a law that in such affairs there Is
to be nothing that can cause scandal;
we strictly prohibit all gnmbllng features.
Yet the fact remains that some of these
fairs havo every objectionable point that
can reflect on our order. Now, I reiter
ated to my fellows at the lodge that our
order was fraternal In Its organization
and that we should not let the spirit -ot
that he might seo the beauties of Port
land under a Summer sun. Mr. Galvln
will remain here with Mrs. Galvln until
Sunday.
J. CAESAR MAKES A HIT.
He Draws Largest Crowd of Season
at Shields' Park.
Julius Caesar may have failed as a mas
cot for the Portland baseball club, but he
was a winner for Shields' Park last night,
for the place was much too small to ac
commodate those ft ho came to see the
amateurs. Julius did a capital specialty,
first lauding Mr. Shields for his enterprise
in establishing the place, and then
changed to Shakespeare, reciting some
thing he called "Caesar's Oration," and
wound up the act with a song called
"Katie Malone." There were five other
amateur turns besides J. Caesar, but he
was easily the star.

WHO IS ATTENDING AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE
EDUCATION THEIR HOPE
AFRICAN METHODISTS DISCUSS THE
FUTURE OF COLORED RACE.
Rev. S. S. Freeman Delivers Anniver
sary Sermon nt the Conference
, of the Church.
The third night of the African Methodist
Episcopal Conference was devoted to the
annlveriary sermon on "Education." The
meeting was opened by slngfng "Yield Not
to Temptation" after the lead of an old
fashioned precentor. Prayer was offered
by Brother Hodgkln. and after singing by
the choir and Scripture reading by-Rev.
Mr! Collins, the Rev. S. S. Freeman rose
to deliver the sermon. He prefaced his
remarks with a neat reference to his
previous residence in Portland. His text
was, "Study to show thyself unto God a
workman that needeth not be ashamed."
He said In part: "Education by teachers
and parents may prepare for eelf-cultyre.
but cannot take Its place. A man as a
responsible being must educate himself.
Much effort, as we preachers know, ha3
been and Is being wasted on unintelligent
Improvement. If we study physiology we
learn what Is Inside of us, and that is what
we must know to educate ourselves In
telligently. We must know the particular
ities of each Individual. In other words,
each -man must know what Is In him to
do hla duty, and to be acquainted with
the bias of his nature." This sentiment
elicited loud notes of aproval from the
brethren, and Mr. Freeman continued:
"Each faculty must be educated by exer
cise; reasoning by reasoning, generalizing
by generalizing. This may be done by in
tercourse with men of power."
In making the direct application of this
to the colored race the speaker empha
sized the fact that education means per
fection. "A man can never be educated."
said Mr. Freeman, "unless he can produce
something. It is a man's duty to avoid ig
norance, rashness and sin. Two things are
necessary for the uplifting of our race
education and religion. Education is
power. Let us study, study! God help us
to study! The existence of Jim Crow cars
and the dlsenfranchlsement put a value
on education."
Then Mr. Freeman drew a glowlne pic
ture of the relative value of might as
against the brain of man "Fifty thousand
colored men with steel-llko saber and sword
and gleaming scabbard fought on the two
does in the Civil War. For years they
fought and their blood dilutes a thousand
battle-fields. Yet ono stroke of Lincoln's
(glorious Lincoln's) pen did more than they
all. Yet In spite of all we are physically
emancipated but spiritually bond. The
South has always been behind in educa
tion, but now It Is pressing on with evi
dent zealous emulation of the Northern
States. Great changes are coming, and we
must not be behind: we must face the
new requirements. And we must succeed,
for did not our fathers and our mothers,
our forefathers and our foremothers go
down Into the grave praying for light?
Yes! the events of the past century stand
out so conspicuously that It would be
affectation of humility to neglect them."
In apostrophizing the great development
In religious matters, the speaker said: "It
Is no longer the old cart of the gospel
horse, but the automobile of Christian
ity." At the conclusion of the service a
collection was taken. Tomorrow night
Bishop Shaffer, who has Just returned
from Liberia and Sierra Leone, will speak
on "Western Africa."
The A. M. E. Conference convened at 9
A. M.t Bishop C. T. Shafer presiding. Rev.
S. J. Collins conducted the devotional ex
ercises. The report of Rev. N. D. Harts
field, of Newcastle and Franklin, was
r;ad, and that of Presiding Elder G. A.
Bailey. Bishop Thoburn. of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in India, and the Rev.
L. E. Rockwell, presiding elder of the
Portland district, were Introduced to the
conference. Bishop Thoburn made a very
Interesting address relative to his work in
India, and Elder Rockwell spoke in com
plimentary terms of what was being done
and urged the brethren to qualify them
selves Intellectually and religiously that
the world might be taken for Christ. To
these addresses Elder Bailey responded In
a few words. Later Bishop Shaffer gave a
synopsis of the missionary work In Africa.
After Elder Bailey had reported the work
In Everett, tho disciplinary questions were
asked, and the afternoon session closed
at 5:30 P. M. T
TO PRESERVE THE CLUB.
Steps Tnlren by Knickerbocker
Athletes nt New York.
NEWWYORK. AugT22. Members of the
well-known Knickerbocker Athletic Club
have decided to take active steps to save
the organization, from going to pieces and
to that end have authorized Professor G.
S. Whltson to name a committee of 10 to
confer as to the plan of acton to be fol
lowed. The Idea prevailing now is to change
the club from a proprietary one to a
members' organization.
This step Is a direct result of a suit
begun by Adrian Iselln against John H.
Ballantyne and John D.-Adams, to fore
close a mortgage of $400,000 on the build
ing occupied by the club. Heretofore the
organization has been run financially by
Ballantyne, and the decision of the meet
ing practically amounted to a rejection of
Mr. Ballantyne s policy, and a determina
tion to proceed without his assistance In
the future. A prominent member of the
club said that all the receipts had been
turned over to Mr. Ballantyne, and. ac
cording to the way the affairs of the or
ganization were administered, it could be
none other than a proprietary club. All
the Inside workings of the club were direct
ed by committees named by the members,
but In reality, the entire management
rested on the financial authority of Mr.
Ballantyne.
Ever since its formation, the Knicker
bocker has had one trouble after another,
and Its vicissitudes have been many.
Originally It was the famous old Manhat
tan athletic Club, but dissension grew,
and Its place was taken by the PIcqua
Club. Its career was brief and then came
the Knickerbocker. The new life built up
a magnificent club, and at one time the
best athletes In the country were among
its members. Harry Cornish came from
Chicago a few years ago to take the po
sition of athletic director of the club.
Miles nt G. A. R. Encnmpment.
MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 22. Reports to
the effect that some friction exists as to
the appointment of marshal of the parade
of veterans at the next National encamp
ment, at Washington, next October, were
shown today to Judge Ed Torrance, com-mandcr-In-chlef
of the G. A. R. He said:
"I have no knowledge of any friction
in regard to the marshalshlp cf the parade.
When Colonel Blackeman was appointed
chief of staff, almost a year ago. It was
with the expectation and understanding
that he would act as marshal of the
parade. It has been my expectation and
desire that President Roosevelt and LIcu-tenant-Ger.cral
Miles should review the
parade with me, and Invitations were sent
to thoaj distinguished persons. Prior to
my late visit to Washington I feared that
the official inspection tour of the Lleuten-ant-General
to the Pacific Coast would
prevent his presence at the encampment,
but I am pleased to state that General
Miles has signified his Intention to ar
range his duties if possible so that he
can be present."

fore the month had passed more than 500
butter-makers had sent their butter to
Chicago for the test, and every month
since then the dairymen sent 20 pounds of
